SHANGHAI, CHINA. April 26.—
'Charges that President Yuan Shi-
Kai, of China, sanctioned the assas
sination of Dr. Sung, former Minister
of Education, because of the latter’s
ambition to become President of the
Chinese Republic were made here to
day by th. civil and military govern
ors of the Province of Kiang Su.
These allegations reveal a bitter
political struggle which is being
waged in China between the follow
ers of President Yuan Shi-Kai and
Dr. Sun Yat Sen, one of the chief
founders of the Republic.
Dr. Sung was shot to death on
March 20: it develops that lie was
a candidate for President, having
the support of Dr. Sun. The activity
of Dr. Sun’s friends began to alarm
the President. The murder followed.
Mrs. (’allic Scott Appelbaum nod her son. Claude, snapped .just after the mother had been
acquitted of the charge of slaving her husband. They will return to Montgomery to live, and
declare they will never be separated again.

WASHINGTON. April 26 Follow
ing the announcement in the H» arsi
papers ten days ago that the Nation
al City Bank, of New York had a
profitable monopoly of Treasury De
partment, information, Secretary
McAdoo has made public the follow
ing statement:
"It develops that the National CU\
Bank of New York, acting ttiro'tffeb
Mr. Aili y Vice President of the Riggs
National Bank of Washington ha«
employed a clerk outside of the De
partment who has been given a desk
in the office of th* Comptroller of the
Currency and who has tor the past
eight or ten years made regular re
ports to the National City Bank oa
the condition of each national bank
in the country promptly following
every call of the Comptroller of 'he
Currency.
"This is of course irregular ahd
improper and immediately upon its
discovery it was stopped.
"It is only fair to say that the
hanks claim that the information so
obtained is only such as in due
course is made public by the indivi
dual banks or the department. But
the method employed-* of installing a
private employee with a desk in the
Treasury Department — gives the
hank- so favored an undue advan
tage, in the way of advance informa
tion, over all other banks in the
country. At the same time, it tends
to establish intimate relationships
with the employees of the Government
and to the acquirement of informa
tion of a confidential nature that
ought not to be given to private in
dividuals or corporations, and which,
if given at all, should be published
to the entire, country.
“Many of the transactions with the
department arc necessarily of a con
fidential nature, and no Government
employee should upon any inducement
or consideration, supply information
to any private interest beyond what
is given out officially to all.”

Grave of Man She Was
Accused of Slaying.
zAIrs. (’ailie Scott Keller Appelbaum,
yesterday acquitted of the charge of
slaying her husband, to-day unfolded
her plans for the future, and declared
that her recent experiences had deter
mined hei to devote the remainder of
her life to missionary work, especially
among jail prisoners.
"I am going back to work as though
no such tragedy had ever come into
my life. - she .-aid. "I wHl travel for a
Chicago firm. But my greatest in
terest -will* be irr missionary work. 1
expect to visit every jail and prison
that I possibly can.
As she sat in her room at the Tab
ernacle Infirmary, she spoke in a
strain of optimism.
“I am so lonesome when i think of
niy dead husband," she said. "With
all his faultsall his little faults I I in
all his faults I loved him and love
him still. When the great tragedy
came the world turned black. All 1
Could do or think was to bury myself
in tears for him.
Prayed for Vindication.
"I had cried this wax for days.
Theft one day I realized that I was
charged with being his murderess.
Feeling the grim horror of this accu
sation. I fell on iny knees to God and
prayed that the world be shown 1
was innocent.
“Then Jerome came to me in a
dream. He put his arms around me
and said:
“’Dear little girl, you are having
such a hard tirm*. But you are in
nocent.’ ”
She naid that her heart lightened
after that and that her- principal
thought to-day was to go out to his
grave in VVestview cemetery and cov
er it with flowers.
"I went to his funeral.” she said
“but I never have,seen his grave. I
want to go out and warm that cold
earth that covers him.’’
To Visit Her Parents.
Mrs. Apeplbaum explained that
within a few day.®, as soon -as she is
strong enough, she will go to see her
aged parents. Mr. and Mrs. J. R
Scott, at Brevvtpn, Ala.
"Most of my money is gone," she
continued, “but I have several thou
sand dollars left. 1 will rest a few
months and then go to work. I have
always been a good business woman
and made lots of money.
"Before the trial, when I was <n
jail. I did not want to see rnv par
ents or anyone. My spirits were so
crushed and my heart so torn with
grief 1 wanted to be alone. But now
i am not ashamed to face the world.
"The memory of those poor cre
atures in the Tower w ill ever inspire
me to help the unfortunate. With this
inspiration 1 know that my experience
has not all been for bad.”
Likes Pecp*e of Atlanta.
Mrs. Appelbaum, after she was
freed, said to a number of friends:
“Oh, T do love you all—and aii the
people of Atlanta—you have been so
good to me. And I want you to know
that I didn't do it.” she added. “I
loved Mr. Appelbaum as I do Claude
here. To a woman the man she loves
Is always like her child. I wouldn’t
have killed him no matter what he
did to me.”
About that tine .1. P. Lindsay, of

like a whirlwind.
"Wouldn't you like to hav. a nice,

Laughs at Cotton Gloves.
Mrs. Lindsay is Mrs. Appelbaum’s
best friend. They were inseparable
when Mrs. Appelbaum and her hus

A minute later Mm Appelbaum
began to laugh a little hysterically as
she was putting on her gloves.
“They’re just cotton.” tile said. "I
wanted silk, but the woman at the
jail who went to buy them didn’t un
derstand, I guess. Thank God. I am
free again to go and come as I want
‘o and do as I please. I can get
things myself now. Oh—”
•She drew i long breath and sank
back in her chair, exhausted with
happiness. Dr. J. S. Liebman, her
physician, who had been summoned
when she fainted, appeared at the
door w ith hi.*' grip.
"It was just from joy. doctor, "she
told him, happily. *ril be all right
now. I am going off to ake a long

"You’re going to ?»ta> in Atlanta a

To Visit Old Home.
She said she didn't know w here she
would make her home. She and
Claude would have to talk it over an I
decide later. But It was sure Claude
would go back to Montgomery for a
while anyway, as he is at work there.
Tt was p -ible she would go to her
parents at Brew ton. Ala . for a few
weeks.
"Do call up the Tower and tell them
I’m free, somebody.” she ypoke up a
little later. "They were all so good
to me dow n t her' .”
From the jail the word earth* back
that they were all as glad as she was
—they had expected it.
"Why. for my part, to tell you the
truth. I'm sorry to see you go." spoke
up a deputy sheriff. ‘I was hoping
the jury would make a mistrial of it
so that you could be with us that
much longer."
That reminded her of a little piece
of paper.
"Here’s what the whole trial rested
on this little tiling.’ she remarked.
"Mr. Moore (her lawyer) gave it to
me for a souvenir. But ! wouldn’t
keep it for anything I don’t need
anything to remind me of the trial.
It's all been too miserable."
She opened the paper. On it was
written:
Q. Could not these wounds have
been self-inflicted?
A. I don’t think so.
It was the question the coroner
had asked J. \V. Hurt, county physi
cian. when he was holding the inquest
xjver Appelbaum’s body, and Dr.
Hurt's reply, which led Mrs. Ap-
pelbaum’s arrest. Mr. Moore had held
it in his hand throughout his argu
ment to the jury.
"But I saw Dr. Hurt in jail the
other clay.” Mrs. Appelbaum re
marked, "and he told me he didn’t
see how they could hold me. as there
was no evidence to prove I was
guilty."
