DEATH BLOW TO BE DEALT UNITED CHINA Hope for Great Empire Is Blasted by War Lords Seeking Power. PRESIDENT IS DOOMED ‘Christian General’ Plots Downfall; Main Ally Ready to Strike. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Srrlpps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—President Chlang Kai-Shek's bubble of a united China appears on the point of exploding into the very elements out of which it was made, namely, several different groups of provinces, each group under a sort of feudal war lord of its own. With a state of actual war existing between its country’ and Soviet Russia, and beset by revolutionists within its own borders, the present nationalist regime of republican China faces one of the mast serious crises of its existence. Observers are of the opinion that while President Chiang and his group at Nanking may outlast the winter, owing to the difficulties of campaigning in cold weather, spring likely will see his overthrow. Some of the most powerful militarists in the country already are either leading revolts against him or apparently are waiting a more auspicious moment. Millennium Doesn’t Come It is the same old story. Like the rest ‘of the world, the Chinese are only human and, led to believe all sorts of wonderful things, are just about to happen. They are disappointed when the millenium fails to dawn overnight. From this it is only a step to following another leader who promises to make good where the other fell dow’n. The famous “Christian general,” Feng Yu-Hsiang, is one of the key men to the present situation, just as he so often has been before. He now is reported at the head of his army in middle China, marching southward on Hankow, the Chicago of China, with the purpose of occupying it. Another key man is “the model governor” of Shansi province, Marshal Yen Hsi-Shan, close friend of Feng, the “Christian general.” He Is considered not only an able strategist, but a capable executive. As yet he has not taken sides openly, but his friendship for Feng and his opposition to President Chiar.g indicate which way he will go when he decides to move. The province of Shansi lies just west of Chihli, in which Peiping is situated. Two railway lines connect it with the ancient capital, thus giving Yen a strategic advantage over North China.

Plot Is Thwarted Feng and Yen last spring were involved in a movement against the Nanking government, but before they were well under way President Chiang got the drop on them. Called on the carpet, they announced. their intention to go abroad, but the president told them politely they were too important to China to absent themselves at such a time and persuaded them to stay. What President Chiang really meant that if they tried to leave the country to go where they could plan further trouble for him and The Nationalist regime unmolested, he would lock them up. or do something to them more drastic still. Still farther north, in Manchuria, the "young marshal,” Chang HsuehLiang. who last year succeeded his father, the "old marshal,” Chang Tso-Lin, as war lord of the three eastern provinces, is holding aloof. Meanwhile, he is carrying on separate peace negotiations with Soviet Russia, thus offering further proof of Manchuria's attitude of quasiindependence. HITS GLOSSBRENNER AS ENEMY OF LABOR Trainmen’s Auxiliary Hear Talks by Industrial Authority. Edgar A.

He said the fight of the textile workers was the fight of all labor and that the labor movement w'ould Stand or fall on the outcome of the struggle in the south. He said that one part of the country could not be successfully unionized while the other remained unorganized. William C.

‘NO FAVOR SHOWN’ ' IS FALL’S DEFENSE

Former Secretary Did Not Use Influence in Oil Lease, Friends Say. Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Testimony purporting to show that Albert B. Fall, former secretary of interior, did not wield his influence to have oil experts report favorably on leasing Elk Hills oil reserves to E. L. Doheny was introduced in the bribery trial of the former cabinet member today. Former interior department chiefs testified they arranged the lease details while Fall was absent in the* west. The government read to the jury a letter written by a chief defense witness, Director H. Foster Bain of the bureau of mines, in 1922, to Fall, asserting that “we desire to make it as easy as possible” for E. L. Doheny, the oil king, who got the Elk Hills lease a few months after he “loaned” Fall SIOO,OOO. Prosecutor Owen J. Roberts attacked Bain’s testimony savagely on cross-examination, eliciting that Fall retained the final word as to his lease, although the details were handled by navy and interior department officials. Arthur W. Ambrose, interior department oil technologist in 1922, testified he recommended acceptance of Doheny’s bid and that ha was given no instructions to favor any bidder. He admitted he was taken to Hawaii in Doheny’s private yacht on an official inspection trip and that he charged the government for “per diem” expenses during the entire period of the trip.

Miller, Bloomington lawyer, who filed the charges against the officers, has branded their statement of cursing on the part of the youth as false. “The nearest Smith came to cursing,” Miller declares, “was when he said ‘your another’ when a cop called him a liar. It was the cop who did what cursing was done.” According to Smith, all three officers struck and cursed him and took turns at “beating my ears down.” Charging Bloomington is policeridden, the Blomington Telephone, afternoon paper, published by Blaine W.

COFFIN DENIES SCHOOL BOARD SUIT THREATS G. 0. P. Boss Tosses Four Who Have Sewed Him Overboard. HANDS OFF IS POLICY Members Seeking Offices Again Sponsored His Appointments. Despite the yeoman service they have performed for George V. Coffin, city Republican chairman, present school board members who are seeking re-election ostensibly were tossed overboard today from the Coffin campaign craft and told to “sink or swim.” “I have Instructed all campaign speakers and organization workers that our only mission is to elect the organization ticket and that there shall be no interference in the school commission fight,” Coffin said. The statement accompanied Coffin’s vigorous denial of any connection with the threatened suit to remove from the ballot the names of eight school commission candidates because of faulty petitions. The suit was expected to be filed today. Denies Any Connection “Any conection of my name with the proposed suit is absolutely false,” Coffin asserted. Os his organization’s ltnerest in the school campaign, he added: “It would be bad politics for me to indorse one group and thereby make enemies of the other groups and I have instructed workers to kep hands off.” Mrs. Lillian Sedwick, Fred Kepner, Lewis E. Whiteman and Charles W. Kern are the four present, commissioners seeking re-election. Theodore F. Vonnegut, fifth incumbent, is not a candidate.

Mrs. Sedwick, Kepner and Whiteman are regarded Coffin’s staunchest allies and so have the best excuse for being rankled by the city chairman's edict, if it is more than a gesture. They approved the appointment of C. C. York as school business director, succeeding Albert F. Walsman, and approved lthe employment of Cffin precinct committeesemn in school posts. All Deny Responsibility E. Kiri McKinney, Democratic city chairman denied his organization is back of the threatened suit to remove eight names from the ballot, as did L. O. Royer, of the Workers’ Non-Partison Political Action League. The suit would eliminate the names of five candidates indorsed by the Citizens’ School committee and three present commissioners, Mrs. Sedwick, Kepner snd Whiteman. The city election commission denied a petition for their removal, presented Monday by Otto Coyle, Chester W. Johnson, Pierce J. Sluder and Lloyd Harvey. Herman C. Wolf, chairman of the Citizens committee, held .Coffin responsible for the threat.
