WAR TO BITTER END IN CHINA, SAYS MA SCO South China Leader Holds Lack of Eid to Arms Parley to Blame. NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—War In China threatens the Far East program of the President's armament conference and the bloodiest, war In China's history is about to start, Dr. Ma Soo, representative at Washington of the South China faction of the Chinese republic, declared here today. He laid responsibility on the United States for refusal to Invite South China to participate in the arms conference. The latest move of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, preaide-> of the South China republic, ir. shading 30.000 troops to aid the rebellion in the northern provinces Is the direct result of Washington's action In recognising the Pekin government, alone, and in Ignoring South China's demands for representation, Dr. Ma Soo declared. "The greatest war China has ever known—the bloodiest In all its history—will start when Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who will leave Canton today with a staff of generals leading three armies of 30.000 troops each, from South China in a drive on Pekin," he said. "It will be the real thing—this war. It will rage until there Is no longer a remnant of the Pekin government and South China establishes a government for all the people. “And I now warn the powers to keep bands off, for if they Interfere the whole Par East will become involved and there will be another world war.” “I have repeatedly warned the State Department in Washington that what Is about to happen wonld happen. "Invitation to South China to send Us own delegation to the ari&s conference would have averted it. This. I told the State Department on Instrnctions from my government, but Washington would not listen. If my government had been invited to the conference—it is the only government recognized by the people of China —an armistice wonld have been declared and the Canton delegation would have been glad to have discussed terms of peace. I at last notified Canton that our efforts were hopeless and this meant j only one course left—war to the bitter end." ANOTHER ARREST IN BOND SWINDLE Fourth Member Is Caught in Oklahoma.

Frank Francis and his girl wife are safely back In the Louisville Jail, but in the wake of their thirty-six-hour visit here two grand Juries, one Federal and one county,' are gather.ng up the loose ends of the widespread plots he Is understood to have related lu detail to the inquisitorial bodies. The confessed burglar, who, it Is said, related such a startling story of liquor law violations Involving prominent city and county officials before the Marlon county grand Jury that the Federal Government decided to step in, was escorted out of the city late yesterday afternoon In the police emergency automobile by Chief of Police Jerry Kinney Lieut. .Tease McMurtry. William H. De Forester, chief of the Louisville detective force and J. H. P.arr, Jailer of the Jefferson County (Kentucky) Jail.

No royal visitor to Indianapolis ever received the personal attention from a chief of police that Francis received from Chief Kinney Tha chief, who at the outset of the scandal scooted that part of i rands' confession relative to boothgglng operations on the part of policemen, hardly left the prisoner out of his Sight. The chief commanded the expedition that sureptitiously left the city Monday afternoon and brought Mr. and Mrs. Francis here from Louisville.

The chief remained there all afternoon and was one of the guards that took the pair to Jail that evening. When Francis was taken before tha Federal inquisitors he again assldioualy looked after the prisoner. Chief Kinney was waiting there yesterday morning when the burglar was brought Into the office of District Attorney Frederick Van Nuys and he participated In the conference that elicited another signed confession from Frands which has not been made public by Mr. Van Nuys. The chief again was careful of hi* wards when they went before the Federal grand Jury, remaining Just outside of the room, or sitting with Mrs. Francis while her husband was testifying He stood dtrec'ly behind them when they were arraigned before United State* Commissioner Charles S. Moores on vehicletaking charges. CONFERENCE HELD AT roLK E STATION. Asa sort of farewell to his “distinguished guests,” Chief Kinney held a final conferei ce with them in his office and then accompanied them on their Journey out of the city. RE LEASED IN
