27-Shots rang out early today in the forecastle of the collier Maskinonge, anchored in midstream, and soon the steamer's whistle began blowing frantically. When boats put out from shore, it was found that warfare had broken out among members of the Chinese crew and that four had been shot to death and two more wounded. The' Chinese refused to explain to ship's cers the cause of the fight. SCHURMAN DEFINES AMERICA'S POLICY TOWARD CHINESE Stand for Integrity of China and the Open Door," He Declares. By G.

GRAMADA. Celle The Brooklyn Reple ent Philadelphia Public Lotper; Cospright, 1821.3 Shanghai, Aug. 27-United States Minister Schurman, in addressing the American community at a dingiven him by the local American Chamber of Commerce last night, no change has taken place in the relations of China and the United States. These are today, formerly, relations of peace and friendship, China always has been a pacific nation, toward America at least, and with both pacific they cherish and practice the ideals of peace, and with peace unbroken it is easy to maintain friendship." Dr. Schurman believes the relations are even more cordial now than viously, since China has adopted America's political ideals, while the American educational system has exerted a powerful influence on modern China.

The service America is rendering China undoubtedly is unselfish, he declared, America desiring no concessions, no territory and no special rights. is the policy of the United States toward China?" he asked, and answered his own question by saying: stand for the integrity of China and the open door. We want China to remain in possession and control of her own territory, to be mistress in her own house; and we want China an open door for trade and commerce to all nations on equal terms." Regarding the question of spheres of influence and railroad zones, Dr. Schurman said: school recommends the internationalization of all Chinese railroads; another school advocates tionalization on the ground that as things are today all the railways on Chinese soil are a vital portion of Chinese sovereignty. Both would make China the absolute mistress in her own.

unabridged domain; and what I especially would emphasize is that this object concides with the standing American policy of territorial integrity and the unimpaired sov- erignty or China." China Concern of All Nations. Referring to the open door policy, he said: "China is the concern of all nations. And if any one nation should violate the integrity and independence 0 China or the principle of equal opportunity for trade and commerce, that nation would, according to the terms of the British and Japanese treaty alliance invade the interests of all the powers in China. The same thought may be expressed in another way. All the nations have common interests in China.

How are these common interests to be preserved? The answer is by the maintenance of the independence and integrity of China and the principle of the open door." Further Dr. Schurman said that the American system prevents special privileges and that Americans only asked that their rivals be granted no special advantages over them, 80 that equal accessibility to markets would be possible. He assured the American business men that American diplomacy, under President Harding, will safeguard the rights and interests of American citizens. Dr. Schurman forward to co-operation between the Chinese and American businessmen, pointing out twat It would be beneficial alike to the Chinese and Americans.

He also deprecated the unfortunate world-wide and the decline in silver which make progress in business now difficult. Washington Conference Plans. Speaking of the Washington conference called to consider disarmament Sind the Pacific and Far Eastern questions, he said: "The two subjects are vitally interconnected. We cannot lay down our war tools until we have removed the causes of war. Everybody knows it is the Oriental questions which today menace the peace of the world.

In those questions China is most deeply and vitally concerned." Dr. Schurman looks forward to a successful consummation of the conference, with all the nations gaining thereby, "but," he said, "no nation will more than China, who then will enter upon a new era in her history." Dr. Schurman's address was important, especially as regards his statement of American policy in the China and Far Eastern questions. Although they doubted his desirability as a Minister previous to his arrival, there now is no question of the deep sympathy and friendship which the Chinese people hold for him. USE FORGED CHECK TO BUY MOTORCAR Detectives Dowd, Brady and Henne of the Motorcar Squad today took Walter Relihan, 37, of 71 Post and Robert Lewis, 30, of 36 W.
