CRANE'S SECOND APPOINTMENT TO CHINA Washington, Feb. 24—Charles R. | story. much,” has been selected by President Wilson for the same post to succeed Dr. Paul Reinsch. Mr. Crane’s selection by the presi- dent reopened a chapter of diplomatic nistory which, although forgotten by i many, was one of the most lively in- cidents in American foreign relations. It was quite generally stated and believed by many in touch with foreign affairs that Mr. Crane’s recall in 1909 was at the instance of the Jap- anese government. None of the real inside story of Mr.' Crane's recall appears on such dipio- matic documents as were permitted to become public and as the records stand President Taft changed his m about Mr. Crane's fitness for the post in the T'ar East after agreeing with Secretary Knox that Mr. Crane had “talked too much” and been creet” in some of his speeches. Mr. Crane came again i notice during President Wils ministration when the president off ed him the post of ambassador to Rus- sia_which he declined. Of course, the Chinese government has accepted Mr. Crane as being per- sona grata, as it had in 1909; other- wise, according to diplomatic proced- ure, he would not have been select- ed again, but whether the Japanese government knew of President Wil- .son’s intention to send Mr. Crane to China can only be a conjecture. Mr. Crane was appointed minister: to China by President Tait in S tember, 190, and -in_Chicago while on his way to San Francisco at a complimentary luncheon quoted Mr. Taft as having told him of America’s interest in China’s welfare and h ing added that whenever Mr. Crane made a speech he ought to “speak it out red hot” That utterance seemed to attract no particular attention at the time. ¥ The storm did not break until a month later, when in San Franeisco Crgne got u brief telegram from | < ing him back to The reason for the sud- “4indis- | shington. den change was not made public at the time, and Mr. Crane = professed ignorance of it. It finally developed that & story appearing in a western newspaper accredited to Mr. Crane and representing him as attacking the Manchurian agreements between China and Japan, were the real cause | of his recall. This story also ap-| peared in the Japanese press and caused a considerable reaction in Japan over the supposed views of the new minister from the United States to_China. Secretary Knox issued a_statement saying that while in the department | preparatory -to leaving for his post Mr. Crane had learned from minor of: ficials that the government was mak- irg an examination of those agree- | ments and “without the knowled-e n- authority of anpone connected with the department gave OUL & HewSywper to the effect that this govern- ment was preparing to protest against some of the features of the agree- ments and that the promulgation of the protest only awaited the return of an official who wWas to formulate it” Secretary Knox's official statement | added that Mr. Crane had “admitted having an_indiscreet talk with a re- porter and that he had ‘reluctantly reached’ the &onclusion that the good e demands that I shall rane that his resignation of the servi inform Mr. will be accepted and I have done s Mr. Crane announced at the time that he had never seen the offending article but assumed full responsibility for his connection with it. “purely in-| cidental' as that connection was. Mr. Crane was not the first Amer- ican minister to China who failed to reach his post because some govern- ment objected to something he had said before hand. In_the previous case it was the protest of China it- self which ‘held up rmer Senator Henry W. Blair of New Hampshire who was on his ‘way to take up the legation at Peking because he had made certain ‘“yellow peril” statements in the senate debates on the Chinese exclusion law which the Chinese feit made him persona non grata to them. MURDERER OF VIRGINIA WALKER STILL AT LARGE Springfield, Mass., Feb. 24.—No new developments resulted today from thel| effort of. state, local and private de- tectives to apprehend the murderer of twelve vear old _ Virginia _Walker, whose lifeless body was found Friday night in the reat of the Somers cream- ery plant. - Several more suspects were brought to police headquarters during the day, but all were released.
