GUNBOAT PURCHASE Sale of Four Japanese Ships for $1,000,000 Reported Under Consideration. —_— By “he Associated Press. HONGKONG, June 23 —Chinese re- ports said today the ernment was negotiating with Japanese for the purchase of four old gunboats for about $1,000,000. Other reports in- dicated it was attempting to further strengthen its hand against the Na- tionalist government. Canton was reported to be endeavor- ing to persuade Yunnan, Kweichow and ‘Provinces to raise troops in op- Aasttron to Nationalist rule. asmtner vt said the new southern . government might send Gen. Hsu hung-Chi on a mission of that char- acter to the outer provinces. Gen. Hsu Resigns. Cantea =*dvices yesteraay Indicated Gen. Hsu Wa3 at outs with the south- ern regime. He has resigned as a mem- ber of the Canton military council be- cause of dissatisfaction with the dis- tribution of civil posts to the followers of a rival leader. The possibilities of a northern ally for Canton was discussed in unofficial circles with the arrival at Canton of Y. L. Tang, former vice minister of foreign affairs in the Nationalist gov- ernment. He appeared as the repre- sentative of Gen. Feng Yu-Hslang. Eugene Chen, foreign minister of the Canton regime, said today the two fac- tions had agreed to waive past differ- ences, including that over legality of the last national Congress. Chen said, however, that General- issimo Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the Nationalist government, had consented only to submit to trial at Nanking, the Nationalist capital, where he is in con- trol of the government machinery, in- stead of retiring outright, as the Can- tonese demanded. “Moral Force Sufficient.” Chen expressed the belief that “moral force” eventually would be sufficient to remove Chiang, and that Canton would resort to arms only if that proved in- sufficient. The principle of the people's liveli- hood, an issue heretofore dividing the Canton and Nanking groups, given a prominent position in the con- stitution to be formed by the Southern group at a people’s convention on No- vember 11, the birthday of the late Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, founder of the Chinese Republic. This principle was one of the three cardinal points emphasized by Dr. Sun. J. M.

The students will be called for and returned to their homes. Classes will begin next Mon- day morning and will continue through July 7. Ayuoclnzd with Hayes in the under- taking are Walter H.

AMBULANCE GALL FAILURE PROBED Aid Sought for B. A. Burleson, Stricken With Hemorrhages Last Night. ‘The failure of an Emergency Hospital ambulance to respond to a call at 1824 California street early last night, where Benjamin A. Burleson, 34 years old, was 111, was under investigation today. Lacking definite information prior to questioning the internes who were on duty at the time, and the telephone operator who took the call, B. B. Sand- idge, superintendent of Emergency, voiced the opinion that a mix-up over the call slip on which the ambulance should have gone out was responsible. Mr. Sandidge was in communication | this morning with Woodbury Blair, president of the hospital board, and it was said a thorough inquiry would be made. and that a statement would be issued in explanation. Stricken With Hemorrhages. Burleson was stricken with hem- orrhages shortly after 5 o'clock. Edwin L. Knarr of 1826 California street, at- temrt.cd to get a doctor, but none could be found who were not engaged. He eventually called the eighth precinct, from where a call went to Emergency. At the same time, Pvt. D. A. Davis of No. 8 was sent to the Burleson home. Davis’ report says that the ambulance was called at 5:10 and had not ar- rived at 6:30. Both he and Knarr are said to have called the hospital in the interim and to have been informed that the am- bulance was en route. In the meanwhile, Dr. Francis A. St. Clair of 1458 Clifton street was summoned and treated Burleson. ‘The record at Emergency shows the call received at 5:33, that it was re- sponded to, and the patient treated at home at 6:04.

FIRE AGAIN SWEEPS HISTORIC MANSION Gale Residence, More Than 100 Years 01d, Damaged by Sec- cond Blaze in Year. Gale Mansion at Second street and Todd place northeast, for more than 100 years a famous Washington land- mark, caught fire again last night in the second fire that has swept the his- toric structure this year. Damage was not estimated, as the bullding was in the course of demolition to make way for a modern apartment building. The 66-room house, which, in 1921, was established as a retreat house for the Order of Carmelites, was purchased some time ago by H. B. Groom of New York, It has been vacant for several months, and has been a playhouse for children by day and a rendezvous for tramps by night. Police believe last night’s fire, which started on the sec- ond floor of the structure, was caused by the carelessness of either tramps or children. A passerby turned in an alarm, which brought several pieces of apparatus to the scene, and the blaze soon was under control. Pireman R. E. Fennelly, at- tached to No. 12 Engine Company, sus- tained a slight injury to his hand while | hoisting a hose when he scratched it against a nail. He was treated at Cas- ualty Hospital. The old house was built in 1830, and for many years housed the Gale family. Before the World War it was used as a seminary for young women, Washington College. In the World War it was taken over by the telephone company as a dormitory for emergency operators. The Carmelite Sisters acquired it in 1921, and sold it three years later to Groom. The previous fire at the structure, which occurred January 18, caused dam- age estimated at $15, HONESTY IN BUSINESS TERMED VITAL NEED President of Curb Exchange At- tacks Nationalistic Trade Inter- ference.

By the Associated Press. ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, June 323. —With the Western half of St. John harbor in ruin as the result of yester- day’s $5,000,000 fire, plans for at least partial replacement were being consid- ered today. Government property, sheds, houses, elevators, schooners and dories were destroyed. Seven families were made homeless. About 250 men were thrown out of work and many fishermen lost their means of livelihood. The future of the port, it is believed, depends largely on the attitude of the Dominion government. Harbor officials plan to start replacements so that by December 1, the ocean services of the Canadian Pacific and other lines may be carried on, but since the Harbor Commission is under the control of the government, plans would have to be approved at Ottawa.

This was their final public program and it was espe- cially marked by the confidence of thor- ough preparation—no nervous break- downs, each student playing straight through in good rhythm, excellent ped- aling and a finished style. Especial laurels go to two high school boys, William David Nye and Gerson Nordlinger, who gave pleasing musical renditions of compositions by Bee- thoven, Chopin and Liszt. Nancy Jane Wilson’s playing of a Hungarian rhap- sody, reminiscent of the famous Liszt rhapsodies, by Koelling, won much ap- lause, and a Negro dance of Strick- and, played by Mary Jane Sterling with splendid rhythmic effect, was enthusi- astically received. Of the children, ages 6, 7 and up to 12, duets by Sylvia and Joseph Wells, Margaret and Frances Osborn and Helen Brylayski and Mary Jeanne Coleman were favorites, and solos by Richard Pelzman and Mollie Lansburgh Schwarts showed unusually good student work. Others giving creditable performances were Ruth Behrend, Helen Brylawski and Charles Wells. Six members who had been present at every one of the club meelings during the year were given prizes in the form of music serap- books by way of commendation from their instructor. They were Mary Jeanne Coleman, Nancy Jane Wilson, Mary Jane Sterling, Willlam David Nye and Sylvia and Joseph Wells. This presentation closed the entertaining and successful. J.T. B. MRS.
