~ AMERCAN VOMAN STONED I A Attacked by Rioters During Foreign Evacuation of Hankow, Renorts Say. By ‘e Associated Press THE EVENING § s WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1927.

Among the Americans arriving to dny (Sunday) were Maury for- merly of New nd her’ child She declared that.she and other Amer- icans lived undisturbed in the French concession during the Hankow riots, | but Thursday, when the situation was most delicate, and further trouble was expected, all American women were ordered by a consular circular letter to board the I steamer Kutwo, Tuking three days’ provisions, they cmbarked the same night. Forty women, fiftcen children and five in tunts were aboard. British Flag Torn Down. \ few women were left, some in the hospial, while others refused to leave pite urgent advices to clear out. said she saw many in where the British union jack Wwas torn down and the Nationalist g hoisted in its place. She also saw posted ma notices in English and Chin bearing the words “Kill Foreigne t. John's University, leading Amer- 1 educational institution in Shang- hai for Chinese, has closed down dur- ing the week end, a fortnight before the normal end of the term. This step was considered advisable by the directors in view of the unrest in the interior and the difficulty of getting students back to their homes in the possible event of any trouble in Shanghai. The feeling of possibility of trouble here is reflected in rumors circulated o the effect that a number of Amer- ican and other foreign residenis are booking passages homeward for their families. Sixty American women and children arrived today from Hankow. Twen- ty-six missionaries from Kiukiang, where serious disturbances have been #oing on, also have reached Shang- hai. The missionaries assert that about 100 others are shut up in Ku- ling, and other marooned at Nan- chang. The majority of the Americans from Ilankow left with very little money or baggage, and had to be escorted through howling mobs by British ma- rines. All the refugees tell heartrend- ing tales of their sufferings. A British police officer, one of the refugees, said he had discussed the seizure of the British concession at Hankow with a high official of the Nationalist government, who declared: Jankow is only the key. What has happened at that place will happen ) soon to all the foreign concessions in China.” | Vivid Stories Heard. Vivid word pictures of the possession und looting of the British concession by inflamed Chinese mobs are being | drawn. i The refugees, for the most part | women and children, spun a lurid | account of the fury of the populace, which culminated in a surging anti foreign demonstration that saw con trol of the British concession go over to the natives. Some told of the hurrying through darkened streets of Hankow to the water front to board | steamers, women and children abused and taunted and cursed by rioters. in some instances stones and sand | were thrown at them, while others were spat on. i Others told of the looting of the | Hankow Club and residence: while one woman declared: “Wednesday | fternoon a mob surrounded our home | and beat on the windows and| doors, all the while hurling threats.

On arriving there she found only five others present. ‘Wondering what had happened, they returned to the foreign settlement only to find the colony beset by clamoring natives with the Marines forming a defiant but silent line at the barrier. ““The Marines w almost tearful,” s. Meclewski. “They just couldn’t understand why they shouldn’t hit out.” TRAMP STEAMERS FAST DISAPPEARING FROM SEA Picturesque Wanderers Yielding Place Before Pressure of Ocean Liners’ Competition. The picturesque nomad of the waste | spaces of the seven seas—the tramp steame®—is disappearing before the competition of the regularly scheduled ocean liner operating over specific routes. E. T. Chamberlain, transpor- tation expert of the Commerce Depart- ment, points out in a trade bulletin that in 1925 out of every 108 trans- oceanic steel steamers 73 were owned by corporations operating lines of steamers ‘and only 27 were tramps. Before the war the proportion was 42 tramps to every 58 liners. Before the war, Mr. Chamberlain’s bulletin declared, the competition of tramp steamers with ocean liners, par- ticularly in the carriage of bulk com- modities, affected to a noticeable de- gree the ocean freight rates of the world. Growth of liner organizations, with increasing capital and growing fleets, has weakened competition and reduced the tramp ship master from the rate dictator to one who must take what he can get. Steamship confer- ices composed of liner organizations w have increased authority in fixing cean freight rates. The number of tramps has declined from 2,143 in 1914 to 1,503 in 1925.
