Attacking Fo rces Trying ~ To Break Through -Lines - Toward City Not:Much Progress Be- ing Made By Sol- diers — Prepare For Continuing Battle To- night—Many Soldiers Are Wounded. MANCHURIAN THREAT OFFICIALLY DENIED Shanghal, Sept. 5.—Attacking Kiangsu forces in the Liuho sector, about 30 miles northwest of Shang- hal, continued their assault all last night and late this afternoon ap- pear to be preparing for another night of continuous fighting. This information was brought to the city by a competent eye witness, who visited the battle front during the afternoon. The firing was be- coming more intense as hour passed after hour, it was stated, both sides using artillery, mainly three-inch guns, Explosive artillery shells were used for the first time today. Large numbers of machine guns likewise were placed in service, No notable gains 'were made by either side in today’s fighting around Liuho, it was reported. The Kiang- su troops under General Chi Shieh Yuan appeared today to be eoncen- trating on that sector, Due to the heavier fighting the number of wounded has been in- creased considerably, \ Upwards of fifty wounded soldiers were counted, being carried back to Shanghai in motor truck for medical treatment. No field hospitals have yet ben establishel in that sector, it being necessary to transport the wounded 25 miles back to .the city if more than mere first aid treat- ment is required. Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, minis- ter of foreign affairs in the Peking government, foday replled to repre- sentations made by representatives of foreign powers concerning the fighting around Shanghai. He sent to the secretaries of all interested le- gations the assurances of the Chi- nese government that all precautions would be taken for the protection of lives and property of foreigners in the battle zone, « Firce fighting in three sectors be- tween the armies of rival Chinese military governors, contesting for possession of Bhanghal, continued unabated today, but added fury was given to the battles by the move- ment of airplanes into the war zone and’ the reported concentration of Chinese battleships for action along the Yangtze river. The major engagement appeared to center between Kiatinghsien and Liuho, about 30 miles northwest of Shanghal. The outcome of this en- gagement was still doubtful, both sides employing artillery, according to the Lungwha military headquar- ters of the Chekiang military gov- ernor, Troops were proceeding from the Lungwha headquarters of General Ly Yung-Hslang, Chekiang Tuchun, to reinforce the governor's defend- ing troops at Swangtu, 15 miles west of here, where fighting con- tinues, There 1s ‘considerable jockeying for position in this quarter accord- ing to an observer who returned from Nansiang today. The Lungwha headquarters explained this with the announcement that the Chekiang troops were taking positions to check an expected enemy swing southeasterly. Canal As Objective The enémy movement would be along the Grand canal with the im- mediate objective as the Sunkiang and Nangchow railway, Any move- ment towards the southeast would make the battlefront extend inte Chekiang province, the seat of Lu Yung-Hslang's government. Entrance of airplanes into the conflict was signalized today when three planes passed over the western Bhanghai district this afternoon. The planes were evidently eruis- ing in the direction of the Tungwha aviafion ground. Naval Craft On Move Naval craft from Peking was re- ported moving down the Yangtze to ald 'tHe Fukien fleet, supporting the invading forces from the north. The Funkien fieet was reported in the Chusan Archipelago, southeast of Shanghai, several days ago, to intercept any aid from Chang Tso- Lin, Manchurian war lord. Chang, who is supporting the Cheklang governor, is expected to dispatch ald to Hanchow by sea. The Chinese authorities here elosed the Shanghal-Woosung line this afternoon as a- precaution against a possidble land aftack on the forts in the event of the Klang- su army breaking through at Liuho, 15 miles northwest of Woosung.

Rhe jmayor and the finance board chalfman declined to discuss what had gone on at the conference, and Mr. King could not be reached after the meeting, Gorbach submitted a proposition to the school committee last year, offering to sell his property for 25,000. The committee declined this was rejected by the board. After some dickering the Gorbach site was recommended at a price of $23,000. The deal was approved by the school committee and passed on to the corporation counsel for a search of title and for preparation of papers for the sale. Tax Encumbrance On Property Tax Collector Bernadotte Loomis learned of the contemplated sale and at once submitted a bill for back taxes due his office from Gorbach. Much of the tax is on the propert concerned in the school site dea but a part of it is on land located elsewhere, With matters already complicated, it became known that the land was heavily mortgaged to Edward O. having ciear title to the entire tract and at the same time anxious to clear up back taxes on the city's books, is preparing, to make a pro- position. The city's offer will be to pay Gor= bach $23,000 for the site, deducting the amount appearing opposite his. name on the city’s books, deducting also the amount of mortgage owed Kilbourne, then paying Kilbourne this amount, minus what he owes the city for taxes. The corporation counsel Is working on this proposal and it is understood that the mayor a tax cofector are anxious to hinge the deal on the acceptance of this offer by Gorbach and Kil- bourne. On the other hand, the school committee and the board of finance and taxation are reported to be of an opposite mind. Appeal to World Press To Aid in Peace Work By The Associated Press.

POLICE MAN HUNT ON, BUT ALARM 15 FALSE Frank McDonough Unin- tentionally Causes Stir at Headquarters A hustle and bustle that very rarely precedes the opening of the police court was preoipitated this morning when Frank English, the patrolman whose duty it is to take the prisoners from the cells up to the court room, rushed out of the cell room with the startling news that Frank McDonough of 81 Hart- ford avenue, who had been locked up, on charges of drunkenness and breach of the peace, escaped while the policeman was opening the door of another cell, ' Hurried word was sent up to the court room to delay the opening of court until the escaped prisoner had been caught and brought back, and a number of police were dispatched into the street to hunt. up MeDonowgh, English sald that he went ‘tn the cell room to get the two prjsoners, opened the door of McDonough's cell and then went over to open an- other cell. After getting the other prisoner, he looked around for Me- Donough and found that he had done the disappearing act. The escape proved to be a false alarm for McDonough, knowing the ropes ahout the police station from past experience, had proceeded im- mediately upstairs to the court room without waiting for English, and was discovered emerging from the office of the clerk of court by Assistant Prosecutor William A, | Greenstein a few minutes after. Asked where he had been, he had been, he apswered in a calm and indifferent manner: “Oh, I came up ahead of Frank, because I wanted to call up an attorney to represent me.” The manhunt was ended and the court proceeded with the morning’s business. The police sent out to bring back McDonough came baflic to the station one by one to report the failure of their search and to be greeted with the infor- ation “that the prisoner had not caped at all. When McDonough's case was | called for trial, he asked that *it| put back until tomorrow.

L, Sept. 5~DMiss Mary K. Browne, Pacific coast tennis star who is playing natlonal golf for the first time furnished a great surprise today by defeating Miss Glenna Col- lett of Providence, former champion and favorite to repeat, The match went to the 19th hole. The masterful shots in the pinch gave the former tennis champion the victory. One down playing the 18th she put a spoon shot. of 175 yards through two trees to within five feet of the pin thereby winning the hole. At the extra hole, Miss Browne sank a putt of 15 feet, her ball caroming off Miss Collett’s into the cup after Miss Collett had just missed a putt two feet longer, In the final round tomorrow Miss Browne will meet Mrs, Dorothy Campbell Hurd of Philadelphia who in the other semi-final match to- day defeated Mrs, C, H. Vanderbeck of Philadelpbia 2 and 1. The competitive spirit had car- ried Miss Browns through to the semi-final round despite what she says is her inferior knowledge of golf, and it was this spirit which enabled her to triumph today against the young player of the home club, whose technique had been rated by experts as unsur- passed. Miss Collett won the qual- ifying round with a 79, the first time a woman had broken 80 in the tournament, while Miss Browne took 96. Miss Collett went out in 40 to- day, two less than Miss Browne, but was only one hole ahead. Miss Browne squared the match at the 12th hole, seeing her chance when Miss Collett took three putts. Miss Collett went into the lead again at the 14th when Miss Browne had trouble approaching a plateau green. On the 15th Miss Browne had a break. A wild slice from the tee started out of rounds, hit a mem- ber of the gallery and came back, with, the result that she got a five, while Miss Collett, in trouble with traps, gave Miss Browne the hole. They halved the 16th and Miss Col- lett went into the lead again by putting her tee shot dead to the pin at the short 17th while Miss Browne over-shot. Then came the big sensation. A slice from the tee left Mise Browne in the rough stymied by trees. '] Collett failed to get near the green on her second shot and Miss Browne saw her chance and took it. The spoon club, which had not worked for her very well, was brought into play. Through the trees, parting the leaves with a loud snip, went her ball, stopping near enough for a three if necessary. ' It was a carry of 160 yards and 15 more yards up hill roll. On her fourth shot Miss Collett was still away and failed to sink her fifth. Miss Browne almost went down in four, and the winning five came easy. The 19th hole saw a masterful winning putt. Each had 225-yard drives down the fairway, and each hooked her second into a Each got on the green from the sand In three, and Miss Collett was far- ther away from the pin. Her putt Just missed. Miss Browne sunk hers, 15 feet long on a slight side hill, her ball sliding off Miss Col- lett's Into the hole. The medal for the round was 88 for Miss Collett to 83 for Miss Browne, and on the extra hole Miss Browne took four to Miss Collett's five. Miss Browne's long shots from the tee were usually equal to her (Continued on Page 22) opponent’s and sometimes longer.

American army ‘round-the-world fliers set out from Pictou for Bos ton today at 10:35 o'clock this fore- noon on the last lap over foreign ter« ritory and the final jump overseas of their long and arduous globe-en« circling trip, The three planes got under way after a 19-minute delay, caused by motor trouble which developed on the heavily-laden plane “Boston IL” This machine, which has been sent to Pictou to permit Lieutenants Leigh Wade and H.

The “New Orleans” Lieutenant, Nelson's machine, was the first to take the air. It was followed by the “Chicago” with Lieutenant Smith on board, while the “Boston II” carry- ing the greater load than the other two, hopped from the water at 10:16:30 o’clock. Wade’s Plane Down After flylng about the harbor, the three machines headed Into the wind on a northeasterly course, but as they moved into formation to begin their long flight, Lieutenant Wade's plane faltered, turned and swooped down to the water, After circling about for a few min- utes, the “New Orleans” followed the “Boston 11" to the surface, he “Chicago” remaining in the air. A few minutes later, Lieutenant Nel- son’s plane was away again and Lieutenant Wade's machine taxied down the harbor and joined the other two, all three turning again toward the northwest, Before the decision was made te start on the flight this forenoon, it was anticipated that Lieutenant Wade might have difficulty in gete ting off because of the.extra weight of the machine in which he was flylng. Lieutenants Wade and Og- den expected trouble from the first because they had just installed a new propeller and tried it out for the first time this morning.
