Despatches told last week a belated inside story of how U. S. Senator Hiram Bingham interceded recently at Peking with the great War Lord Chang Tso-lin to save the life of the notorious Mme. Michael Borodin, whom Chang had taken prisoner (TIME, March...
...land of China is so troubled and war-torn that only one prominent Occidental is known to have traveled there extensively within the present year. This gentleman is U. S. Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut. He completed last week a tour which his influence and his wealth have enabled him to push far into the interior. Moreover, Mr. Bingham has visited and talked with all the principal Chinese leaders at the three chief seats of Chinese government: Peking, Nanking, Hankow. When the Senator emerged at Shanghai last week his mind held a panoramic picture of China in which each element...

He is Republican to the core; intensely and practically pious; rich because of the wealth of a small, frail wife who has borne him seven sons; and learned with the knowledge of an explorer in Peru and of a onetime (1909-24) professor at Yale University.

Manville, continued as president but looked forward to retirement. J. P. Morgan & Co., seeing a big earner with no funded debt, bought a large (many say a controlling) interest and last week it was announced that two Morgan partners (Francis D. Bartow, George Whitney) would become Manville directors, that Hiram E. Manville would be replaced as president by the man whom J. P. Morgan & Co. found to rebuild Montgomery Ward & Co., Chicago mail order house...
