CHANG IS RUNORED. DEAD I HOSPTAL Manchurian Governor Alive, Peiping Physicians Say in Denying Report. 8By the Associated Press. NANKING, June 9—Rumors per- Bisted here tonight that Cheng Hsueh- | Liang, Governor of Manchuria and vice commander in chief of the Nationalist | Pelping after an attack of typhold. Querles to Peiping brought the reply that while it was impossible to enter the hospital where Chang was confined, attending physicians denied the reports | , @nd sald he was improving. The wports here said Northern au- thorities were seeking strenuously to | suppress the news of Chang's death. The possible effect of such a develop- ment_was made the subject of specula- tion, as Chang's passing might - affect the Nationalist government’s political connection with Northern China. Chang was_instrumental in putting down the rebel movement begun by Yen Hsi-Shan, then Governor of Shansi Province, and Gen. Feng Yu-Hsiang Jast year. With the restoration of peace he was given his high title by the Na- tionalist government. What Chang’s position might be in the present trouble between the Na- tionalist government and the insurgent movement originating at Canton has Lot been apparent. BUSINESS HEADS INTERCEDE. Ask China and Rebels to Settle Political Split Peaceably. SHANGHAIL June 9 (%) —Business Jeaders of Shanghal stepped today into | the breach between the government and ! Bouthern rebels and asked that the po- Jitical split be settled peaceably. Two hundred leading Chinese mer- chants, industrialists and financlers of | this city appealed to business men of | the nation to bring pressure to bear upon military leaders, seeking to cir- cumvent threatened hostilities. “Salvation Lies in Peace.” Also, they dispatched to government bffcials at Nanking a telegram reading i “Internally, China is facing two ime portant tasks—namely, famine relief -’ and the suppression of bandits. Ex- ternally, the nation is engaged in an uphill struggle to gain equality in the family of natlons. Further bloodshed will spell national disintegration, through exhaustion of the nation’s resources. Our salvation lies in peace.” ' Meanwhile, the revolutionary govern- fment of South China sought the al- Jegiance of other insurgent elements throughout the country in its aitempt 1o overthrow the Nationalist govern- ment of Chiang Kai-Shek. Thousands of soldiers took oaths at Canton to suppart the insurgent movement, while Jeaders of the insurrection were re- ported hopeful of recelving aid from North China opposition leaders gather- dng at Dairen Should Northern elements join Can- ton in th> movement against Chiang, the government might expect the a vance of rebel forces both from the Scuth and North toward its strong- holds in the Yangtse Valley. American Missionaries Leave. Chiang, however, professing _little \ concern for the rebellion in the South, | announced his intention of assuming personal direction of a drive to crush Hunan and Kiangsi Province bandits, and then to retire from office. Southern leaders, however, saw in this movement an attempt by Chiang to get his troops in position to strike at in- surgent forces of Kwangsi and Kwang- tung_Provinces, which adjoin Hunan and Kiangsi to the south. Ten American Methodist Episcopal missionaries stationed at Yenping, Fu- kien Province, withdrew from there to Foochow today because of the menace of Communists and bandits. They re- ported their move to the local head- quarters of th: mission. PROVINCIAL FORCES BEATEN. \ Dutlaws Force Troops to Retreat East- ward, Reports Say.
