HONGKONG, July 26.—Reports of the massacre of 18,000 persons during a reign of terror carried on by Com- munists who seized the City of Tung- lan, Kwangsi Province, were received here today in messages from the in- terior. s More than 70.000 persons were made homeless by pillaging and burning by the Reds, ‘advices said, and damage, estimated at $5,000,000 had been done. The interior districts have been neglected by the military during the past several weeks during the strug- gle of the Canton insurgents to assert themselves against the rule of Chiang Kai-Shek and his Nanking regime. Ap- peals for aid were received from many parts of Southern China, Small Soviet Set Up. From Southern Kwangtung Province, where the Reds have defeated provincial troops and established a small Sovict in the Manning district, appeals were made. Airplanes were sent to Swatow, Kwangtung, to observe activities of Communists in that reglon in response to_calls for help. Merchants in Southern Fukien Prov- ince, nominally under the control of Nanking, appealed to Canton for troops to suppress the Reds, who have cap- tured the towns of Yungting and Shangchang. Encouraged by the Tevolt in the north of Shih-Yu-Shan against Chiang Kai-Shek and the Nanking government, Canton insurgent leaders are preparing, for_confliet: with the Nanking leaders. Various factions of the southern in- surgent movement have been united by the support of the northern wer lord Trench works damaged by floods are being rapidly rcpaired. The Canton- Suichow Railway also has been re- opened. GOVERNOR BLAMES CHURCH IN MEXICAN . PRIESTS’ SLAYING ___ (Continued From First Page) when lives are endangered,” the Papal Nuncio said in discussing his message to the priests. “We, therefore, are leaving it for each individual priest in- volved to decide. Probably many of them, unwilling to leave their people, will go into hiding and attempt to min- ister to the people in secret. “The church gravely laments yester- day’s occurrences in Vera Cruz and Jalapa. We are doing all we can to keep the people quiet and have re- peatedly cautioned and ordered our people to refrain from rising up in arms. “Armed - resistance is against the spirit of Christianity and the church. It is against Christian doctrine.” Bishop Guisar said he had received | no reply from Gov. Tejeda to an offer made early today to sacrifice his life to the governor if, in return, Tejeda would “leave the priests and Catholics alone to have religious freedom.” He charged that Gov. Tejeda was chief of the Communist party in Mex- ico and was trying to force Communism on the state of Vera Cruz. Priests Limited to 13. The disturbances have accompanied Gov. Tejeda’s attempt to enforce a state law which limits to 13 the num- ber of priests allowed to exercise their religious functions in the state, which has a population of about 1,300,000. Churches at Cordoba and Orizaba re- | mained open yesterday and were jam- med for services. The state did not interfere.

FIRE WHICH TOOK {0 LIVES PROBED Nuns of Pittsburgh Home Join Quiz as Death List Is Expected to Rise. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, July 27.—Little Sis- ters of the Poor, still stunned by the fire which destroyed their home and took the lives of two score of their aged charges; weary frcm long hours | spent in searching for the missing | and re-assembling those who survived, joined today in the inquiry into the disastrous blaze. The death toll had reached 40 and there still were more than 100 injured in hospitals. Ten unidentified dead lay in the morgue and their identification, officials believed, probably would erase the list of 10 reported missing. Many of those in hospitals will die, physicians said as they battled to pre- vent pneumonia and to stave off death Meanwhile many of the aged and infirm who were removed to tempo- rary quarters, were being taken to another home maintained by the Little Sisters of the Poor. The city, county and State centered an inquiry on the twisted, charred four-story building, which late Friday night became an inferno from a cause still undetermined. Mother Provincial Augustine of Bal- timore, Md., mother provincial of the Little Sisters of the P said a new fireproof home would built on the site of th: destroyed home. She said the burned building was old but com- fortable, and added that it was similar to the home in Baltimore. A new building in Detroit is fireproof and modern, she stated. STEAMSHH; GROUNDED 8. 8.

The youth was wounded by the governor's guard, but| reports from Jalapa said he would live. Immediately after he had been wounded by a shot in one ear, Gov. Tejeda declared from a balcony of the government palace here that “despite this campaign of terrorism I will carry out my plan.” The governor had warned that un- less the Catholic Church complied with the new state religious law limiting the number of priests in the State of Vera Cruz he would take measures to enforce it. Eye witnesses to the attempted as- | sassination of the governor said his as- sailant was shot down after a pistol fight which lasted 15 minutes, in which the governor and his assailant shot at cach other from behind pillars at the entrance of the government palace. Mob Attacks Churches. After the attack on the governor, a mob formed and. obtaining gasoline at automobile filling stations, advanced against the churches. Pouring gasoline on the wdlls, they set fire to the build- ings gT“he cathedral and the churches of Calvario, Beateric and San Jose -were damaged before the fire was extin- guished by police and troops. Several were injured when a wall of the San Jose Church collapsed. Police broke up the mob and made many arrests. The city was reported uiet today. 9 Troops were placed at danger points in the State. Father Dario Acosta, who was shot to death in a raid on the Asuncion Church in the city of Vera Cruz Satur- day, was buried there yesterday with- out disorders. The public was barred from the funeral, which was attended only by police and civic officials. A Vero Cruz dispatch to the news- paper Excelsior said Father Rafael Rosas, injured in the same raid in which Father Acosta was killed, fled the city last night, fearing that his life was in danger. An inventory of the church property was started pre- paratory to turning it over to the fed- eral government. The national con- stitution stipulates that all church buildings are the property of the na- tion and the priests are caretakers.

The secrecy of President Ibanez’s resignation at 4 a.m. yesterday resuited in a rumor which started later yester- day morning, to the effect that Ibanez had fled fromr the palace in an ambu- lance disguised as a wound>d soldier and had gone to the American em- A};mvld formed quickly and marched to the embassy. about a mile frcm the government buildings. There they set up a shout for Ibanez. American Ambassador Willlam O. Culbertson went out and assured the crowd on his word of honor that Ibanez was not there and if he came h: would be refused asylum. Police were called to protect the embassy and the crowd dwindled. The crowds then filled down- town streets, shouting “Kill Ibanez.” Then word flashed around that Ibanez still was in La Moneda Palace. Hun- dreds of persons went there, only to find troops on guard. Plan for Junta Given Up. At noon yestcrday the fact that he had resigned became generally known. The first plan was to form a junta with Arturo Alessandri, former President, as its head. but that was eventually given up for the scheme which was followed eventually. Under the Chilean constitution the minister of interior becomes acting President in the event of the designa- tion or death of the President. How- ever, it is provided that if there is no cabinet, the place falls to the President 1of the Senate. It was arranged that Carlos Froedden, premier and minister of interior in the last Ibanez cabinet, should resign first with the cabin:t before the President was permitted to resign, thus assuring the ejection from power of Senor Froed- den also. Women Start Quster Move. ‘The women of Chile are credited with having instituted the campaign against Ibanez which resulted in his fall from the presidency. On May 6 women held a big mass Wung. after which they paraded past i€ presidential palace shouting “Lib- erty” and “Get out, Ibanez.” | _That _was in the days of Premier Castro Ruiz and his ironclad censorship, |so no news-of the women’s action got out-but the campaign against the Presi- jdent continued and gdined ground, mostly through quiet methods. 60 to 100 Killed in Rioting. When the financial situation forced Tbanez to seek aid from intellectuals and business people in forming a civil | cabinet, s:udents became active. They | went on strike, and last Wednesday seized buildings of the University of Chile. Two civil cabinets fell within a few {days. and rioting started. Within the | area of a mile square between 60 and 100 persons were killed and about 2,000 injured. On Friday Tbanez issued a manifesto attacking Blanquier, then premier, who had become a national figure during his brief tenure by slashing military ex- penses. Students Maintain Order. This was the last straw, and the spon- taneous civil uprising began. A general | strike gained ground Saturday, and yes- ':f§dny threatened to paralyze the capi- al, After the announcement yeste¥day that Ibanez had resigned, the carabineros (armed guards) who had been clashing with the people three days and nights were withdrawn. This left the city and suburbs without police. Students, armed with canes, directed traffic, the crowds obeying them without a word. City Battlefield Quiet. | went to sleep without fear of lhearing rifle fire and screams of victims. For three nights the downtown streets had been a battlefield. Cavalry patrols during the night paid no attention to small assemblages or parades, and the people paid no atten- tion to them. A friendly spirit prevailed. AMERICANS IN CHILE SAFE. Culbertson Cables U. S. as Crowd Gathers About Embassy. The State Department was informed today by Ambassador Culbertson in Chile that no American citizens or in- terests have been affected in any way, as far as he could learn, by the politi- cal upheaval in that country. The Ambassador cabled that there were big crowds in the street in front of the embassy, but there was no par- ticular disorder. Military police remained in barracks today ready for possible emergencies. Banks remained closed this morning, but trolleys and busses were running and business was fairly normal.

Ibanez was known for his iron-handed rule, but the pros- pects of an until Foreign Minister Rios Gallardo announced that the President desired to see the visiting newspaper men. An informal reception was arranged hurriedly at the executive offices, and the newspaper men sharpened their pencils and stuffed several ext?a sheets of paper in their pockets. The reporters, more than a dozen strong, were ushered into an outer office, where a secretary, noting the paper held by several of the group, was quick to issue a polite but firm edict. “The President cannot be questioned,” he said. “He merely wjshes to receive you.” ‘There was some sotto voice grumbling from the newspaper men. several of whom, with typical Yankee independ- ence, suggested walking out. The more conservative writers prevented such an “international incident,” however, and the group was ushered into the Presi- dent’s private office. Five Met by Hoover Ousted. Gen.

Thousands of people were assembled at the airdrome at Leningrad to watch our arrival. over the cheering city, trafic was brought Then we turned toward the airdrome again for our mooring operation. As we slowly approached the landing field, we heard a military band and saw the word welcome, in gigantic illumi- nated Russian and German letters, blazing from the ground. Our landing maneuvers were carried out without a hitch and we were soon resting at the mooring mast. This was considered very creditable to our crew as the men were not skilled in such operations. Scene at Landing. There was a touching scene at our landing when the little daughter of Prof. Rodolphe Samoilovitch rushed for- ward to greet her father. She and her brother were later shown over the airship. The German Ambassador, Von Dork- sen; Russian high officials and _the 80-year-old representative of the Rus- sian Air Academy, greeted Dr. Eckener, who acknowledged their salutations warmly. The Zeppe- lin's commander extolled the part Rus- sia was playing in Arctic exploration. Last night Leningrad was illuminated | with violet searchlights, and the ship | was guarded all night by Red army reservists. The ship, lying beside the | mast, presented a weird sight with its| vast fantastic shadows. We were nll“ overwhelmed by the hospitality shown] us by the Russians. At midnight there | was a gala supper party attended by| high dignitaries of Leningrad. The Graf's tables were groaning with caviar, while the clinking of glasses almost | drowned all other noises. Every refer- ence to politics was tactfully avoided. Huge electric signs displayed greetings such as “City of Leningrad warmly wel- | comes daring Arctic explorers.” Seldom | has the much-feted Graf received such | a_tremendous ovation. Dr. Eckener, who is usually detached from such feasts, ed by the lavishness of the Russian reception, emphasized in a| speech necessity for Russo-German scientific co-operation. Reports from the Arctic continue un- favorable. We have just been apprised of a snowstorm over Franz Josef Land.

NEW YORK, July 27.—Wall Street watched with keen interest the devel- opments incident to the change of gov- ernment in Chile, as American capital has played a leading part in the devel- opment of Chilean infustry. United States investments in Chile are estimated in excess of $700,000,000, larger than in any South American country save Argentina.

The slump in the price of Lh% staple from 16 cents a pound in the Dnited States to 8 cents and less seriously crippled that republic. The Chile Copper Co., controlling some of Chile’'s best copper deposits, once was dominated by the Guggen- heim interests. In 1923 they sold con- trolling interest to the Anaconda Copper Mining Co. Chile Copper Co.'s properties com- prise the largest known body of copper ore in the world, being sufficient to last |over 70 years, based on an annual pro- | duction of 375,000,000 pounds. | i Guggenheims Join Monopoly. | Anaconda also holds most of the out- | standing stock of the Andes Copper Co., | which has valuable properties in Chile. | The Kennecott Copper Corporation owns valuable copper deposits in Chile, through its subsidiary, the Braden Cop- | per Co. Braden, at Sewell, Chile, has a plant with an annual capacity of about 180,000,000 pounds of copper. The Guggenheim interests also have taken a leading part in the development of Chile’s rich nitrate deposits. The Guggenheim company, the _ Anglo- Chilean Consolidated Nitrate Corpora- | tion, recently became a part of the | $375,000,000 Chilean nitrate monopoly | sponsored by the government. A new | company, known as the Chile Nitrate | Co., was formed to consolidate the va- | rious producers. The Chilean govern- |ment holds a one-half interest in the | new company.
