SHANGHAI, Jan. 25 There ia excellent reason for believing that strict orders have been given by the Kuomintang government restraining mobs from taking the lives of foreigners. Bo far the anti-foreign movement has involved the loss of property and In some cases personal injury, with much discomfort and distress, but to date no foreign lives have been lost.

The experience of Dr. Washell, an American physician at Kiukiang, furnishes an illustration. Washell is the port physician- lie had a house in the British concession at Kiuloiang and when the foreigners evacuated he took refuge on a boat in the river.

When tlio trial opened Monday the lawyer for the defense M. made a violent attack on Count Bethlen for bringing the affair to court instead of seeking justice in the field ot honor.

Hudson Of Sixth District By JLIXWELL II. FORREST (Staff Correspondent) "WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Before tho present ehort session of con gress closes March 4, Congressman Grant M. Hudson, republican, of the sixth Michigan district, will make every effort to have his pet bill, one establishing a federal bor der patrol under jurisdiction of the department of labor, enacted into law.

Tho Michigan representative in troduced the measure in the house on Feb. 24, last year. It haa been acted upon favorably by tho sub committee and at present ill ia be ing discussed by tho Judiciary com mittee. Congressman Hudson said today he had been Informed the judiciary committee will soon send it to the floor of the house for dis cussion, that it be passed with the recommendation. Whether this bill, designed pri marily to create a federal border patrol for more efficient enforcement of laws applicable to the in terna tional and maritime borders of the United ytates, can possibly pasa the house of representatives and the senate, is a big question.

Obviously the better enforcement of tho Volstead amendment was the main motive behind Congressman Hudson In formulating and introducing the measure. AVet-Dry Fight This means tiiat when the bill comes up lor discussion in the house there will be another fight between tho wets and the The Michigan representative will speak for his own bill and sponsor il. In all probability Congressman James A. Gallivanv democrat, of Massachusetts, tho real wet leader of the house, will exert all his power and influence of 30 years in congress, to defeat the measure. Congressman Uallivan has Jilready indicated by iqferenco that he will do this.

The proposed law was drafted by Congressman Hudson with the aid of officials in the office of the chief co-ordlnator here. The chief co-ordinator himself, IT. C. Smither, gave material aid in preparing the measure for introduction in the house of representatives. the bill Chief Co-ordinator Smither wrote recently to Congressman George S.

Graham, republican, Pennsylvania, chairman of the liouac judiciary -committee, us follows: "The bill introduced by the lion. Grant M. Hudson and designed 'to establish border patrol for tho more efficient enforcoment of laws applicable to the international and maritime borders of tho United vas drafted in its present form aa the final result of an effort extending over a period of more than four years to bring the existing separated groups (referring to present patrol by Various federal agencies) Into a co-ordinated whole. None of the present patrol activities are clothed Avlth authority that empowers them to enfroce tbe laws of the United States in their entirity. Kaeh is empowered to curry on some special aspect: of law enforcement, with tho result that nowhere are the laws of the United stales being enforced pa a whole by any tingle group authorized to enforce thorn.

"Vl a matter in "Which co-ordinated effort was sought with tho least expenditure of money and tho least disturbance to 11k-existing order of things, the department of labor appeared to offer tho best administrative advantages. That department has now in existence an orgatiieed border patrol, it iieed3 merely to have its powers expanded to include lite laws ot the United states lo enable to effectively execute the laws. Make One la run "The flexible provision whereby discretion is Intended to repose in the president was placed there in order that he might meet conditions such aa to make it desirable to leave certain patrol units in their veaenc status; for example, the units engaged in the enforce ment of the prohibition act. On the jollier ii-ind, t-ho'ild it appear to tho best interests of tho United States, the president, under the 'proposed bill, in empowered to consolidate these bodies Into one Pin gle group placed for the purpose administration under the department of labor, where the problem of administration appears to tiimpleet. "The bill drafted represents the Combined efforts of nil inter-cMed activities that were at the tiiuo In complete accord, this office as a co-ordinating agency, of course, merely assisting in remov ing the obstacles that lay in the ay of harmony and which none the departments concerned were abl- tc remove themselves." This letter from the chief cd-or-t'in-nor is enlightening regarding mobt of the contents of the pro- possd Hudson measure.

There are. however, in the bill, several Heme considered drastic by many, which are not mentioned in the letter. As an illustration there is the following item: "Property of any" kind which is seized for violation of the laws of the United States, together with a report of the facfcsVol seizure, shall be immediately delivered to the chief officer of the district charged with -the enforcement of tho law for the violation of which the property was seized. Upon delivery of the property und receipt of such report the said chief officer shall proceed to forfeiture in accordance with the law and regulation of his department." Use of Property Other items in the bill that are likely to be discussed considerably in the house and later in the senate in event the measure passes the house are: "When the said property is forfeited it may, in lieu of sale, be used for any government purpose by any agency of the United Mates and when surplus to the needs Of one agency may be transferred to any other agency of the govern ment requiring its use. The United States border patrol shall have pri ority of claim over any other gov ernment agency to the possession and use of such property as may have been originally seized by it.

The government agency to which the property is allocated shall pay- ill expenses incident to seizure and forfeiture.
