Chen Chiung-Ming, the captor of Canton, had been shot and wounded seriousiy at a meeting with leaders of his own troops 10 miles from Canton. ‘The same cable said Col Yeung Ultimate success in the Salvation Army drive for a $5,000 maintenance fund seems to be assured, ¢xcording to the en- thusiastic reports of the committees which met this noon at Kwan-Yue, one of Gen, Chen's chief supportérs, was shot and killed at the same meeting, which was said to haye occurred at Shek-Lung. Gen. Chen Chiung-Ming, after cap turing Canton, notified the northern jeaders, Li Yuan-Hung, the provisional president of the Peking government, and Gen. Wu Pel-Fu, the dominant military figure of the north, that he was ready to join them in their move ment to re-unite China under the cen- tral government at Peking. He pro- posed that the provinces be given an autonomy similar 1o that of the state in the United States. Gen. Wu ex- pressed hearty accord with this prin- ciple. SUN YAY SEN HOLDS PRESIDENCY. CANTON, June 29.—(By ‘The Asso- ciated Press.}—Undismayed by reports of further support for the move to unify China along lines which he has not approved, Dr. Sun Yat Sen is holding on to the presidency of the Canton government with a tenacity apparently equal to that with which he clung to the ideal of a Chinese democracy in the days before the Man- chus were overthrown.* Dr. Sun has set up his heaéquarters at the naval college at Whampoa, near here, and is firm in his declaration that when his army of invasion re- turns from Kiangsi province he will be able to retake Canton and re-estab- lish the regime of which he is the head. Fifty thousand troops are com- prised in this army, according to the avaflable estimates, while the forces of Chen Chiung Ming, who ousted Sun from his capital, are believed to be smaller. The actual garrison of Can- ton is estimated at 5,000 men and is commanded ty Yeh Chui, who under Chen Chiung-Ming, carried cut the op- erations which resulted in Sun's de parture from that city. Sun has about 2,000 troops with him at Whampoa. Not all Sun’s troops are coming/ south, however, some of them under Huang Ta-Wel, are hélding @ line in southern Wlangsi province below Kanchow, seemingly to cover the} movernent of their fellows against) Chen. Chen is at his headquarters at Waichow, 50 miles from Canton. Politicalty, the most recent devel- opments all hinge on proposals fo formation of ah “United States. of China.” Estabishment of such a gov- ernment, based on the lines of the American government, has been ad- vocated warmly by Chen Chiuns- Ming, who, indeed, cited such a move as a condition of his adherence to the unification movement, and yesterday was approved formally by Wa Pel-Fu, principal military leader under the Peking administration, according to dispatches from that city. Wu, these advices declared, heartily endorsed Chen’s suggestion and an- nounced that popular leaders in Yun- , Hunan, Kweichow, Szechuan, Kwangtung and other provinces had telegraphed him promising their sup- port to the plan. Wu also predicted that China as she progressed would be found adopting American ideals to an extent freater than is evidence in any other country.

It was decided that the pup would be sold at auction Satur- day night at the band concert on the streets of the city. The Casper high school band has offered their services as an aid in putting the drive over. At the council meeting last night a request from Mr. Bacon was read, ask- ing that the drive committee be given the privilege of using the streets for = doughnut tag day Saturday and that the band be permitted to play.

Wherewith, the legions of the law sallied forth to do battle with the law- breaker. All through the night they worked, and when the sun rose Wed- nesday morning the records at the sta- tion held 79 names that it had never held before. /TIPPLES BURNED, MINE FLOODE IN COAL FIELDS OF COLORADO DENVER, Colo., June 29.—Two mine tipples were burned, one -oal mine flooded and two railhray bridges burned in Colorado coal fields in Boulder and Huerfano coun ties during the night, according to reports of Colorado state rangers to headquarters here today, it was an- nounced by Colonel Patrick J.
