Full Military Strength Thrown in Field to Meet His Threat. | NANKING, China, May 32 (#).—The | full military strength of ihe Nalmnalxs(l government moved northward today 1o | meet the threas’of the “Christian gen- eral,” Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang, who secks to extend to Soush China his overiordship of Central China, In Nanking public demonstrations ‘were held upholding the regime of Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek and denouncing Feng, while the government policy was de- clared to be “peace and unity. However, unity is necessary before peace is po:-‘ sible.” Nanking ministers denounced Feng as | responsible for “wholesale destruction | of the nation’s railways, disturbance of | the peace of the country and with pre- | cipitation of -a grave situation which, | aithough most undesirable, the Na-| tionalist government is prepared to deal | with.” i Apparently reliable estimates were | that 120,000 Nationalist soldiers were moving northward along the Pukow-| Tientsin Raflway to cut off possible emergence of the forces of Feng from Honan to the east. Another army of 130,000 men was en route north from Hankow, moving along the Peking Rail- way to Southern Honan, where skir- mishes already have taken place. An- other army of 20,000 west of Hankow on the north bank of the Yangtse-| Kiang was moving northeastward to- | ward the Han Kiang. Feng was reported placing his entire Honan force of 200,000 soldiers prin- cipally along the Lunghi Railway, the south bank of the Hwang Ho d in Southeérn Shensi. His headquarters were near Chengchow at the junction of two railways. The way was left open for retreat into Shensi and Kansu if neces- sary. KWANGSIITES DRIVEN NORTH. | | Kwantung Troops Suffer Heavy Casual- ties to Gain Vietory. CANTON, China, May 22 (#).—An official statement today said Kwangtung Province troops fighting north of Can- ton had driven the attacking Kwangsi- ites northward a full 5 miles. Heavy casualties were admitted, but the claim 'was made the Kwangsiites also had suf- fered heavy losses. The fighting in this area continued to be about 25 miles north of Canton, near the Pei Kiang. with about 15,000 "‘;’ifi engaged on either side. statement said reinforcements from the central government at Nan- kingswere en route and expected hourly. It was understood, however, these rein- forcements were Kwangsi units which the defense of Hankow betray- ing them to him. ity to Kwangtung therefore would be dubious. The general atmosphere here was slightly more optimistic than yesterday, although there was little to indicate other than eventual defeat for the city’s defenders. It was reported here the “dollar fected defection of the Yunnanese Gen. Fan Shek Sang, reputed ally of Kwang- tung for years. He was said to be tak- ing his forces to Wuchow, on the| borderiand of Kwangsi and Kwangtung, | A SENT | FOR ‘OXYGEN TENTS’ Need of Head Apparatus in 15 Critical Cases. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, May 22.—An urgent appeal to all large cities near Cleve- | land for “oxygen tents” to be used in treating victims of the Cleveland Clinic disaster which took 122 lives, was tele- graphed today by officials of the Cleve- land Clinic Hospital, where 15 patients were reported critically ill. Seven of the “tents” were in use, and at least eight more were needed. the telegrams said. It was hoped that two could be sent here by airplane from Detroit. Altogether 30 persons are in hospitals, their systems poisoned by the gas which twice exploded in the clinic building after fire broke out in a base r%nc X-ray storage room a week a| today. “Tents” Fit Over Head. ‘The “tents” fit about the patient’s head to facilitate administration of oxygen.

He appeared at the inquiry with Dr. William E. Lower, co-founder and manager of the clinic building. In making the first public statement from clinic official concern- | ing causes and precautions against the double exp'osion of noxious fumes, Dr. | Crile declared that no such calamity | could have been foreseen. i ““There was no precedent for this.” he | asserted. “We placed trusted employes | in charge, knew that the building was well constructed and took all precau- tions we knew about, precautions that we _thought entirely adequate.” | Both physicians said the gas, identi- | fied as nitrous peroxide, came from slowly burning films, but declared they | did not know what caused them to ignite. ] Gov.

M. 8477 USWNSSUT ONFLOOD CONTROL Judge Davis Denies Injunc- tion to Prevent Receiv- ing of Bids. By the Associated Prese. ST, LOUIS, May 22.—Federal Judge Charles B. Davis today denied an ap- plication for an injunction against the Government to prevent receiving of bids and awarding of contracts for con- struction of a $44,000,000 flood-control project in Mississippi and New Madrid Counties in Missouri. The court action | came only an_hour before the time set for awarding the contracts at Memphis, Tenn. The restraining order was sought by John A. Bird, a land owner in the affected area, and it was denied in a brief memorandum handed down by Judge Davis in which he expressed 2> opinion on the merits of the case. He had heard arguments yesterday. i Makes Plea for Farmers, Counsel for Bird argued that the | | Government in carrying out its plan to build a huge flood-control spillway is seeking to acquire private property without due process of law or compen- | sation. The attorney, Rush H. Lim- baugh, said that approximately 700 | farmers owning land in the district are in acute financial circumstances and face complete loss of equities in their | properties should the Government go | through with the project. i The suit followed recent efforts by the Missouri delegation in Congress to have President Hoover direct delay in award- | ing contracts for the project, which is | a major-part of the $325,000,000 flood | control program adopted last year by | Congress. Last night the Missouri Legislature | adopted a resolution urging President | Hoover and Sccretary of War Good to | top the letting of contracts, Gc®. | Henry S. Caulfield likewise telegraphed | the President, joining in the protest. The Missouri Congressmen said in their protest that unless the program was halted property values estimated Dt~ tween $12,000,000 and $15,000,000 would be_irreparably damaged in the district “THE RESORT OF A THOUSAND DELIGHTS” Mr. Thomas Houston, Jr., 451 Monroe Elizabeth, N.
