B—4 REBELS SURROUND CHIANG'S FORCES Nationalists Face Most Seri-/ ous Rebellion in Four Years. [ By the Associated Press. SHANGHALI July 25.—With complete eontrol in only three of the score of provinces in China the Nationalist gov- ernment at Nanking was confronted | today with one of the most serious of the several rebellions that have plagued 1ts four years of turbulent existence. Commissioned by the Canton "in-| surgent government, which has ruled | Kwangtung and Kwangsl Provinces since late April, Gen. Shih Yu-San, northern war lord, has begun hostili- tles against the Manchurian sllies of the Nationslist government. Thus the Nationalist regime, With| power centered on the Yangtse River] of Middle China, has been placed be- ! tween two revolutionary forces.; Even | in this central area, the government finds itself menaced by organized | armies of Reds end bandits, ravaging towns and countryside. Chiang Fights Rebels. 1 For two months President Chiang Kai-8hek devoted his attention to mili- tary activity against outlawry in dev- astated Kiangsl Province, taking up | headquarters at Nanchang, its capital, | to command the 200,000 soldiers thrown against the insurgents 4 But little has been accomplished in this campalgn, and Chiang's enemies at Canton have taunted him with charges of little intent to suppress banditry. With dissension stilled within their ranks and independent military south- ern leaders pledging allegiance. the Cantonese have announced their in- tention of taking the offensive against Nanking to end the asserted dictator- ship of Chiang and his purpose of founding a “dynasty.” Co-operating with them in Northern China are the rebel forces of Gen. Shih Yu-San, numbering 60,000 and reported gaining large accretions from Shansi, Shantung and Honan Provinces. Some of these forces have penetrated to with- ing 125 miles of Peiping. Manchurians Weak. | Opposed to this northern threat are nearly 200,000 Manchurians of Gov. Chang Hsueh-Liang, but they are said | to have little stomach for fighting in | this rebellion. Nearly exhausted by campaigns against rebellions in 1929 and 1930, deserted by many of its lead- ers who went over to the Cantonese, and uncertain of the support of numer- ous war lords who maintained inde- | pendent rule in many provinces, the | Nanking government held off its attack | upon the Cantonese insurgents. i Meanwhile, the revolt spread to North | China, in co-operation with the Can- tonese of the south. At the head of the Cantonese govern- ment is Wang Ching-Wei, born at Can- | ton in 1885, educated in law in Japan, former resident of Europe and author of many books written in Chinese and English and for many years a leader of the radical wing of the Kuomintang (Peoples party) which has been the power behind the Chinese republic. Wang Loses To Chiang. Condemned to life_imprisonment for attempting to assassinate the Prince regent, Wang was released when the revolution which created the republic broke out in 1911. He became a protege of Sun Yat-Sen, founder of the new regime, and as such the colleague of Chiang Kai Shek. For a time the two young men served together, but Wang's more radical tendencies caused him to form the Northern Coalition in- Peiping, which collapsed in October, 1930, with & defeat by Chiang. MORE GAS BOMBS FOUND IN JOLIET Prison Official Says Elaborate Preparations Were Made for Qutbreak. i By the Assoclated Press. JOLIET, Il July 25.—Seven more soline bombs ‘and several knives found y searching guards in the Stateville Penitentiary today gave additional evi- | dence, prison officials said. that elab- | orate preparations had been made by convicts for outbreaks that vigilance | frustrated. Twelve prisoners were placed in soli- tary confinement as a result of the dl.s-l coveries and all was quiet within the ” tonight as the search continued through the tiers of cells. Monday search of the interior will be completed and extended to the yards, Warden Henry C. Hill said. The bombs would not have been disas- trous if exploded, Hill said, but could have started fires which might have al- Jowed the felons to escape in the con- fusion. Twice State police were summoned to | the prison during the last week, but each time the hour set for the expected “breek” passed without incident. Al- though_the police had been dismissed today, they were ready to return at an instant notice. | GRASSHOPPER HAVOC | IN 1WA SERIOUS Infestation Worst Ever Seen There, | State Entomologists Report. By the Associated Press i DES MOINES, July 25 —Serious dam- age to corn and other small grain crops from grasshopper infestations in | Western Iowa, was reported today by Dr. C. J. Drake and Dr. G. C. Decker, | Btate entomologists, and Dr. J. R. Parker | of the United States Department of Agriculture after a week’s tour through Western Jowa and parts of Nebraska and South Dakota. ! Characterizing the infestation as the worst they have seen in many yeal the men said Western Iowa faces extensive damage as South Dakota and | Nebraska, where they said many farmers have seen complete destruction of crops. Dr. Drake cited one farm of 1,600 | acres in South Dakota which he said | would not produce enough this year | to feed one animal. In many fields the grasshoppers have not only eaten stalks, ears and leaves from corn plants but have eaten roots as far down as| they could reach. H Woman Hurt in Crash. | Elizabeth Walpole Force, 24, of Hy- | attsville, Md., was injured silghtly late yesterday when her automobile col- lidea with & car operated by John W. |vard University, and published by the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WASHINGTON FINANCED SPREES | TO KEEP HIS GARDENER SOBER Holidays and Appetizers Exempted in Temperance Pledge Brought to Light in Pamphlet Series. George Washington didn't object to his gardener at Mount Vernon taking “a dram in the morning and a drink of grog at noon,” with sprees thrown in for good measure during such festive occasiors as Cryistmas and Whitsun- tide, provided the laborer proved worthy | of his hire on regular working days. He even provided the money for thue‘ occasional sprees. . | This rather ‘unusual temperance pledge which Washington compelled his inebriate gardencr to sign at the risk of losing his job has been brought to light in a series of pahphlets por- traying “Waehington, the Man of Mind, edited by Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, professor emeritus of history at Har- George Washington Bicentennial Com- | mission. Being a careful administrator of his | plantation, Washington had decided views on the question of sobriety and labor, though, like all colonial gentle- men of his day, he recognized the uni- | versal custom of drinking intoxicants. | So when his bookkeeping accounts re- vealed that the gardener in* question | was permitting his weakness for liquor | to interfere witn his lavor, wumnxtuni sought a means to correct the habit | and yet at the same time retain the | services of a valuable workman. With- out doubt, Dr. Hart explained, the gon- | eral viewed the step he was about to take as & matter of economy. Remarkable Pledge Taken. | So, when his pablence had been tried after one quite extended spree during | which time the gentleman farmer prob- | ably had to hire some one else to super- . vise his famus gardens, he brought the matter to an issue. It was on April 23, 1787, in the latter years of Washington's life. With his secretary, Toblas Lear, as | a witness, the unfortunate employe was called upon the carpet and affixed his mark to the following remarkable | ledge: 7 “Philip Barter, the gardiner, binds himself to keep sober for a year, and to) fulfill his duties on the place, if allowed four dollars at Christmas, with which | to be drunk four days and four nights; | two dollars at Easter, to effct the same purpose; two dollars a t Whitsuntide, to be drunk for two days, a dram in the morning, and a drink of grog at dinner, | at noon. For the true a nd faithful per- | formance of all these things, the parties have hercunto set their hands. this twenty-third day of April, Anno Dom- ini 1787. | “PHILIP BARTER x mark “GEORGE WASHINGTON." “Witness: “GEORGE A. WASHINGTON, “TOBIAS LEAR.” With this incident, Philip Barter seems to have had his only one day of | mention, by name at least, in the rec- ords of Washington. After the signing he passed out of the limelight. Know- ing Washington's characteristics as he does after years of research and study, Dr. Hart has no doubt but that the man kept sober for the year. Story of the Great Seal. After long end diligent rch, the Bigentennial Commission has discovered onr thing, at least, closely identified with the founding of oug Government which appears to have ped the at- tention of Washington. The famous “great seal” of the United States was designed and executed with- out the participation of Washington, probably due to the fact, it was ex- plained, that he was already away from the Continental Congress and engaged in fighting for independence on the battlefield. As the division of information sa; prrhaps this accounts for the curlously twisted and backward history of that indispensable adjunct of national sov- ersignty. It is #& historic fact, perhaps lost to sight that hardly was the signing of the Dx _.aration of Independence out of the way thin the Continental Con- gress, on July 4, 1776, named a com- mitte> to design a coat of arms and seal for the United Colonies, In spite of the fact that this committee con- sisted of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, all men. of judgment and distinguished taste, the design they submitte discard- ed and the matter of a seal for the United States was dropped for four years. Another Committee Named. In 1780 Congress appointed another committee to reconsider the discarded design, only to discard it again. Fi- nally, in 1782, a third committee was | M appointed to settle the matter, and Wil- liam Barton, A. M. of Phllldel‘)hll and Lancaster, an expert in heraldry, was employed to draw up a new de- sign. Charles Thomson, secretary of Congress, suggested a few improvements and from these Barton designed the “arms of the United States,” adopted July 20, 1782. Such is the story of the “great seal,” s0 called because a “lesser” seal was| also authorized but never executed. Then, on the adoption of the Constitu- tion and the establishment of the United States of America, the great seal was placed in the custody of the Secretary of State and ever since has been under his guardianship. Three times in history it has been necessary to replace the great seal as the result of war. The first Teplace- ment occurred in 1841. slon the engraver was guilty of a curi- ous blunder. In place of the 13 arrows that belong in one of the eagle’s talons, he engraved only 6. In 1884, when again it was necessary to engrave a new seal, this error was corrected and the seal became a slight enlargement and sharpening of the original design of the Continental Congress. In 1903 the seal was again renewed, in close adherence to the original Barton de- sign, the authorities having decided any change would break the historic contin- uity of this emblem of our sovereignty. AL G. BARNES EXPIRES ON CALIFORNIA RANCH Dynamic Showman Dies After Seven Months' Illness With Lung Trouble. By the Associated Press. = INDIO, Calif., July 25.—In the seclu- sion and quiet of the desert, surrcrunded‘ by a peace he had sought for years,| Al G. Barnes, dynamic showman of the circus, died today. Pneumonia and complications brought | to an end his turbulent life. Time and | again in the scven months since he | came here, seeking to cure a lung ail- ment, his life was despaired *of, but each time he recovered, until a sinking spell beat down his lowered resistance, The tall, white-haired circus veteran was conscious almost to the sast, at- tendants said. At his bedside was his third wife, Mrs. Margaret Goldsborough Barnes, former wife of a Colorado cat- tle man. They married only last December in Phoenix, Ariz. Two former wives of Barnes live near Los Angeles. They are Mrs. Dollie Barnes, his first wife, and Mrs. Jane Barnes, his second wife, by whom he had his only children, two girls and a hoy. A sister, Mrs. Lydia Bishop, living in Michigan, is the only other survivor. Around the fimt two wives and the circus was built the sensational life of Barnes, from which he sought to escape two years ago, when he sold cut for a million dollars and began an almost secluded life at his home in Los An- | geles. Hardly a year of this quiet retire- ment passed before his health l(gan to fail. From the time of his arrival here he was confined to bed almost con- stantly and a ranch where he lived was guarded to protect the quiet hie sought. { INSURANCE MAN DIES | \ TR Lee Kaufer Frankel of N"l York Succumbs in Paris.

Leads Simple Life. BY LOUIS P. LOCHNER. (Copyright, 1931, by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, July 25.—President Von Hindenburg does not approve of the “shake hands” id<a in vogue in Amer- ica. An audience with the head of the natjon should be exclusive enough to be a distinction, he believes. An excep- tion is made, however, in the case of old World War veterans. When these are lined up side by side with the active forces of the Reichswehr, the herr “feld- marschall” often goes out of his way to shake hands with each and every vet- eran. Lunch is usually taken with the fam- fly. As all things in the President’s private life, it is a simple affair, bright- ened by the presence of his three grand- children. Hindenburg is exceedingly fond of children. He is always genu- inely touched if, on leaving church or| attending some function, a child steps forward to offer him flowers, especially if this action is impromptu. ‘War Companions Dwindle, Following his afternoon nap the Pres- ident 1s free, at least until the evening, for persdnal engagements.

The diplomatic | corps understands that it would b> a big strain on him to attend their din- ners. | Hindenburg himself gives several state dinners in the course of the year—one to the members of the cabinet, under- secretaries and other high officials and their wives, one to the diplomatic corps and their ladies, and the others on spe- clal occaslons such as the visits of for- eign potentates. Those in attendance at these func- tions are particularly struck by the chivairy of the venerable field marshal- | President to the women.

JULY 26, PHILIPPINE BUDGET REDUGED BY DAVIS Governor General Reaches Accord to Avoid Deficit in Island Treasury. By Cable to The Star. MANILA, P. I, July 25.—Gov. Gen. Dwight F. Davis has struck an accord ! with legislative leaders relative to the Philippine budget, avolding a treasury deficit this year and next by paring ex- penses cardfully, possibly using the $6,~ 000,000 gold surplus from previous years, together with other contingent funds. La Vanguardia, important Spanish language Manila newspaper, says that the Filipino leaders have agreed with the request of Mr. Davis that no salaries be reduced. Public Works Suffer. Philippine public works are suffering badly, lflectmg business, which is fur- ther impeded by the credence given to the opinlon of visiting Senator Harry B. Hawes of Missourl that the next Congress may vote the Philippines in- dependent, both iIn redemption of America’s alleged promise and for the purpose of stopping free entry of Philip- pine goods into the United States. That condition, coupled with the $3,- 000,000 failure of Rafael Fernandez, Filipino real estate plunger, involving the National City and the Hongkong- Shanghai banks to the tune of $500,000 each, besides from 20 to 30 large busi- ness creditors, makes July the darkest month in the islands’ commercial life in 20 years. Filipinos are especially watchful, being the chief holders of real estate. Against Bond Issue. Mr. Davis is pessimistic, but deter- mined to keep within the bounds of revenue collections and not to resort to issuance of bonds “I am conscious of the difficult situ- ation,” explains the governor general Every one, including the leaders and cabinet burcau heads, has co-operated in balancimg the budget with collections.” (Copyright, 1931).

[LETTER REVEALS WASHINGTON ASD. C. LOT SALE PROMOTER President Proposed Naming Agents in Towns to Vend Sites Here—Was Grati- fied by Auction Results. " is revealed in | George Washington the role of the National Capital's first real estate promoter, in a letter which he addressed in 1792 to the “Commis- sioners of the Federal District.” ‘The letter, made public today by the George Washington Bicentennial Com- mission, was written from Philadelphia on November 17 of tI year, in re- sponse to a communication from the Commissioners giving details of a lot sale held near the Capitol. Reference is made to an auction sale | of lots attended by certain mysterious “circumstances” which Washington and the Commissioners agreed to keep from the public, and Washington advanced a plan for a Nation-wide campaign to dispose of lots yet unsold. Text of Letter. ‘The letter follows: “I have duly received your letter of the 13th of October, enclosing a list of the sale of lots in the Federal City with the prices, of which I am more gratified than I am by the numbers which have been disposed of. I am pleesed to find that several of your of lots, as they will not only, in all probability, be among the first im- provers of them, but will be valuable citizens. “I agree with you in opinion that +rourd in such eligible places as about the Capitol and the President’s house | should not be sold in squares, unless there are some great and apparent advantages to be derived from specified bulidings, immediate improvement, or something which will have a tendency | to promote the advancement of the city. Refers to “Circumstances.” “The circumstances under which Mr. his having done so appeared very proper for the interest of the public. I | public works advance, gree, | the Commissioners resides ther however, with you that it would be best for the circumstances not to be gen- erally known. 2 “How far the idea which Mr. Blodget suggestts of having an agent to pass through the several States to dispose of lots might be beneficial or not, I am unable to say, but it appears to me that if a respectable and responsible character in the principal town of each State could be authorized to dispose of the public lots, as purchasers might ap- pear, provided the matter could be so arranged that no confusion or incon- venience should arise from the same lot being disposed of by two or more agents (which might possibly be done by monthly returns being made to the commissioners from the several agents, ascertaining the day and even hour of the sale, to be by them confirmed pre- vious to any payment—e small centum to be allowed the vendor—and all private sales to cease & month be- fore every public sale), it would be a means of accommodating persons in different parts of the Union and would expedite the sales of the lots. But this, mechanics were among the purchasers | 5 Well 8s Mr. Blodget's suggesiion (which rather appears to me to be hawking lots about), must be weighed and determined upon according to your best judgment and information. Proposes Superintendent. “I think that a further public sale in the Spring, or early in the Summer, would -be advantageous, for it is desir- able that every opportunity which could 'be convenient, on account of the season and other circumstances, to dis; lots in this way should be embrnme. & “In proportion as numbers be: interested in the Federal City and the a constant at- tendant at the spot will be more and more requisite on the part of those who superintend or direct the business thereof; and I am of the opinion it will be found necessary. as neither.of that MAXWELL’S FINAL WEEK some active and competent character vested with proper authority by them should be constantly on the ground to superintend the business rTying on there. But who this person shall be is altogether with yourselves to choose, and the various and essential qualifico tions in him will readily occur to you.” The “Mr. Blodget” mentioned in the letter is belleved to have been Samuel Blodgett, jr, an insurance man, who came here from Philadelphia and be- came one of the largest individual holders of real estate in the then nebulous Capital. The auction referred to probably ~as a sale in which Blodgett purchased an entire square of land fronting on the Capitol site. | It is of interest to note that Wash- ington’s suggestion for the appointment of a superintendent to act for the Com-. | missioners in the real estate sales was met by the naming of Blodgett. His- torians record that Supt. Blodgett got | the Commissioners into an embarrassing financial predicament when he staged [n_ great lot lottery, the grand prize in Wwhich was to be a $50,000 brick hotel.
