Long Range Forecaster Says Hot Wave Will Last Another Month Washington, July 31.— (AP) — Henry Janvrin Browne, whose long range weather forecasts have brought him into conflict with the weather bureau from time to time, today said the present break in the heat was only temporary and there would 0 definite end of the wave until after Labor Day. Months ago, Browne said, he was convinced a sun spot cycle coupled with a Lunar Cycle, had destined that the summer of 1930 be hot and dry. He said a perusal of weather records, dating back through centur- ies, had convinced him unusually hot and dry summers came every 56 years, Similar conditions to those of this summer prevailed in 1874 and in 1818, Browne said. The forecaster said the moon had traveled so far north it had pulled the waters of the Atlantic westward, dragging with them the heat of the Gulf stream under which the Missis- sippi Valley has sweltered. _ Similar conditions, he said, pre- vailed in 1874 and 1818 when records kept in the middle west showed the Great Lakes had receded greatly. Moon and sun conditions then were much the same as this summer, Browne has made weather pre- dictions for months in advance for a number of years, basing his fore- casts on ocean meteorology rather than atmospheric conditions over continents. Weather bureau officials put little faith in his methods but among his clients are many large corporations. Chicago, July 31.—()—Two broth- | ght Chinese Reds GUNS OF AMERICANS KILL 50 REBELS; FIVE AMERICANS WOUNDED Battle Starts When Communists Open Fire on Gunboat ‘Near Changsha HOPEFUL TROUBLE IS OVER Missionaries Refuse to Leave City Because of Conscien- tious Objections Shanghai, July 31.—(4)—Intensive red activity sweeping middle China, which culminated yesterday in an at- tack by Chinese communists on the American gunboat Palos near Chang- sha, in which about fifty Chinese were killed and five bluejackets wounded, today threatened to engulf Hankow, Wuchang, Hanyang and other important cities in the Yangtse valley. British official circles here have been advised foreigners at Kiukiang are avacuating due to communists’ activities with Kuling, foreign sum- mer resort near Kiukiang, have failed. It is understood telegraph lines ° throughout the Yangtse valley are in- terrupted at various places. Shanghai, July 31—(AP)—Five American sailors were wounded as the crew of the United States Gun- boat Palos successfully fought off an attack of Chinese communists near Changsha yesterday. About fifty Communists were killed and many wounded as the Bluejackets returned the fire of the Reds who raked the ship with machine guns and rifles. The Reds attacked from the banks of the Siang river as the Palos was approaching the Communist-ravished city to make a survey of the ruins. Opening fire with 100 rifles and 10 machine guns, the Communists showered the Palos with bullets. Caught in close quarters and un- able to turn back, the Palos brought her three-inch rifles and machine guns into action, firing into the at- tackers at close range. Battle Lasts an Hour The battle raged for an hour be- fore the-Communists were silenced. The attackers had taken up positions. behind shacks and in under-growth along the bank. Heavy fire was necessary to clear the shore. The five sailors received flesh wounds only. Although the Palos was hit hundreds of times she was not materially damaged. Her steet armor plate turned the red bullets. Commanded by Lieut. Commander R. D. Tisdale of Baltimore, the Pa- lor which previously had helped to evacuate foreigners from Changsha just before the Reds overran the city, sought to approach and survey the damage. An unexpected rise in the Hid enabled her to get near the city. . _ Fear New Incursion A dispatch from the Standard Oil company offices at Kiukiang said (Continued on page six) URGES THAT PARDON BE GIVEN BILLINGS San Francisco: Police Captain Says He Has Grave Doubts of Guilt of the Two Men San Francisco, July 31—(P—A recommendation by former Police Captain Duncan Matheson that par- dons be given Warren K. Billings, and Thomas J. Mooney, convicted of the preparedness day bombings here in 1916, was before the supreme court today as it resumed consideration of Billings’ application for pardon. Matheson, questioned by an asso- clate justice said he was convinced of Mooney’s guilt and Billings’ guilt at the time of the bombing, but now had “grave doubt” about it. Under Unseen Power John MacDonald, Baltimore waiter, whose identification of the two men was @ factor in their conviction testi- fied yesterday that an “unseen pow- - jer” was exerted over him by Charles M. Fickert, district attorney during the bombing trials. The “unseen Power,” he said, led to his giving per- jured testimony. Cross - examined by Fickert, Mac- Donald stuck subbornly to statements that the former prosecutor had prom- ised him a “large slice” of reward money if he would testify as Fickert directed. The witness said he was “coached’ to identify Mooney and Billings as the men he had seen place the suit- case bomb which killed ten persons and injured many others. New Witness Appears “Do you still feel in Fickert’s clutches?” a justice asked. “I do,” MacDonald replied. @ daze right now.” A surprise witness entered the case for the first time since the bombing. George Reid, retired Salvation Army officer, testified MacDonald, who had resided at the Army home, described the explosion to him two hours after the disaster. “MacDonald told me he saw two men, one with bushy eyebrows set a suit case down at Steuart and Market streets, a few minutes before the tragedy,” said Reid. “Afterwards he boasted about being’ able to identify the men from police pictures and in- timated he expected to receive a large share of the reward for the Jbombers.” 3 “lm in w
