HEININGER TELLS OF CHADTIC CHINA Misgionary Writes o Friends in : < - New Britain Chaatic conditions surrounding' the forced ‘cessation of missienary’ work in China are described in letters Just .veceived by afficials of the First Congregutional church ‘from Rev. Alfred D. Heininger, who has been the missionary of the local church at Porter Middle achool, Techow, China. o letters, one of which was addressed to Rev. Theodore A. Greene and the other to Mrs. F. G. Platt, are in part, as follows; “Techow, Shantung, April 11, 1927 “Just & brief note-this evening. Developments bhave come rather rapidly since I last wrote. We have Leen husy packing, and now only four missionaries are left in the station—and they are hoping to get away in a*day or two. There is a general evacuation of British .and Americans In Shantung, and so we are going to Tientsin. What the next move will be, we do not know. We sre advised to prepare for ‘pos- sible indefinite absence from our station.” “It is one of the queerest (and most difficult) experiences we have had yet. As far as apparent dan- ger in this region is concerned, we need not leave at all. It is quite a surprise and shock to the Chinese. I doubt if there ever was a time that all foreigners were away from here since the station was moved here. The move will no doubt have a very far reaching effect. The Chinese leaders are taking over responsibil- ity, and we are turning over work to be carried forward entirely under Chinese control. It may result in a great forward step in the Christian enterprise, by putting things on the Chinese, For this we are glad in- deed. We have been writing resig- nattons and seeking Chinese leaders to take over the work we have been carrying. With three foreigners in the school, it makes quite a little work to rearrange—and one great difficulty is that we cannot leave our salaries here for the people who must be found to fill our places. Classes have been suspended for & brief interval until the readjustment can be effected, but I hope they will be able to carry on soon. “The leaving has been very hard— particularly for Mrs. Heininger. She hasn’t been very full ot vital energy since the ‘flu’ and this time of un- usual strain hasn’t been easy on her, Jean’s condition of course compli- cates things for us. We had planned for the family to remain until I could hand over the work; we ship- ped some freight boxes last Friday by canal boat. After the packing was pretty nearly all done, there was time to think—and thinking wasn't overly comfortable!~ So I made up my mind that Erma and the chil- dren better not. wait longer than necessary. We finished up the things they were to take, and started for the rallWay station Saturday fore- noon. The trains run, after a fash- ion, but very irregularly. We: waited all the rest of Saturday, and when no word came of the train by eve- ning, all except Jean and I returned home to sleep. We two stayed down at the church plant in the south suburb. About 5:00 a. m. Sunday morning, word came that the train | was coming. There was something of a scramble, and we finally all got to the station, only to find that it was not the ‘Blue Express’ (a comfort- able train) that we had been waiting for. We hesitated a while, but I felt that they better go, rather than to wait indefinitely for a train we didn’t know was coming.” “Tientsin, China, “Easter Sunday, April 17, 1927 “Yes, wé are refugees! The Nan-| king incident (one American life| lost) seems to have started things! going. The government officials | dign't know what would happen next, and of course they wanted to ‘play safe.' It is now about three; weeks since the first telegram came | from our consul in Tsinan advising that women and children leave im- mediately for Tientsin, and the one ordering all Americans to leave! Techow was about ten days later. We've lived at least six months| since then! “There was no danger and no need for evacuation in our immedi- ate region. I was against leaving, until it became apparent that there was a general withdrawal of mis- slonaries from the interior, so as to minimize the danger of adding seri- ous international complications to | China's internal problems. And then we, in our station at least, took this occasion to make a complete devolution of misslonary administra- tion—and put Chinese leaders in to carry on all the work. Of course in our mission we have been pre- paring for this for twelve or more years—s0 the adjustment is much easier than in many of the missions. “In Porter Middle school five teachers volunteered,to serve as an executive committee to carry on the school (our new principal-elect is in America studying). They showed & magnificent spirit, in the face of great difficulties. We three foreign teachers left about fifty houry of class-work unprovided for, and not one cent with which to engage other teachers! “Mrs. Helninger eame here with the children a week ago today in company with a group of other refu- gees. The trip wasn't very hard after they got started—though they had a walit of about 24 hours before the train came, and a grand rush getting on the train at the last— rma lost her new watch in th final trip from home to station. 3 stayed on for a few busy days—giv- ing away things, clearing up the house, 10ng sessions of committee mectings, turning over administra- tive affairs, and some good feasts! There was a splendid spirit of friendship shown toward us. I left (the last missionary out of the com- pound) about midnight on April 14. All have left our two Shantung stations. \ “Missionaries who have furloughs due this year or next are authorized | to go to America. Many others are leaving for Korea. Tientsin is erowd- ed with missionaries. We are stay- | b ing in the hospitable home of Mr. R. T. Evans, an attorney in business here in Tientsin; Mrs. Evans was formerly in mission work. They have five children and run quite an es- tablishment. We are welcome to stay here, but of course it isn't like stay- ing in our own home. Jean is out on a sun porch; the boys and I are on the third floor. What our next move will be, we do not know.: We are all packed, ready to leave for | anywhere. If we must leave, it will not be beeause there is‘' no more work in China, nor yet because we are not wanted by the Chinese leaders;i we are considering New Britaln — having recelved Mr. Greene's cablegram. Our going will | be on medical grounds—for in this kind of life it is difficult to give Jean the qulet and. the care she need: furthermore, another two years of caring for Jean during the re- mainder of her illness is sure to be | rather wearing on Mrs. Heininger | even in the best of circumstances; ! but with disorder and disturbed conditions it will be much worse. All this on top-of the rather strenuous time since our return to Chine in 1925, makes us wonder whether for the sake of Jean and Erma we ought not return to America for two or three years. We judge that it would mean that we should have to put Jean in a sanitarium. Possibly con- ditions will be somewhat more set- tled in China after such a period, and we might be able to do very effective work then under new and more favorable conditions. I am going to Peking to attend the an- nual meeting of the North China céuncil this week, and it is likely that our decision wjll be made shortly after that—and perhaps you will have word By cable before this letter reaches you. “The best of good wishes to all friends who inquire. “ ‘“Vety sincerely, “ALFRED D. FLOOD FUND DRIVE GOES OVER 11,000 Red Cross Relief Total Starts Towards $12,000 Mark The Red Cross rellet fund has passed the $11,000 mark according to a report made today by Chair- man C. L. Sheldon, in connection with the raising of funds for relief ofsthe Mississippl valley flood suffer- ers. Today’s fund was swelled by & total of $190.76, bringing the amount previously reported of $10,- 909.40 up to $11,100.16. Among the special contributions received were the following: Stanley Works, Dept. 43, $4.00; Russell & Erwin die room, 75 cents; rates de- partment, $2; department 8B1, $1; boiler house, $5; gatemen and watchmen, $2.50; elevator depart- ment, $1.50.

Pragtically all the damage was done about the center of the ceme- tery, and the police believe this sec- tion was selected for the protection it afforded from nearby residents or passersby. Because of the location of the cemetery away from main arteries of traffic, few pedestrians or automobiles pass it at night. Damage Exceeds $5,000 Sergeant Ellinger was in confer- ence yesterday afternoon with Rev. Matthew J. Traynor, pastor of St. Mary's parish, but they were unable to arrive at a positive theory as to the motive behind the vandalism. Father Traynor said the damage would greatly exceed $5,000, how- ever. He had no actual appraisal but he felt sure that “several thou- sands of dollars” would be required to replace the stones. Father Traynor said today he was at a loss to account for the motive behind theact. He said| there is no dissension in the parish, to his knowledge, and he had no reason to anticipate that this or any similar act would be perpetrated. At masses tomorrow, officlal announcement will be made that the cemetery was the monuments will be expected to make repairs. In his opinion, shared by the police, several vandals operated together, as the damage scems too extensive to have been done by one person in a single night. MISS PATTERSON TO LEAVE Miss Elsie T, Patterson of 35 South High street, former director of the local Visiting Nurse Associa- tion, who recently resigned, will leave her desk at the local organiza- tion to accept a position in New York tomorrow. Her successor for the position has not been announc- ed but it is though that she will be selected in the near future, Miss Patterson will' resume her occupa- tion of welfare work in New York. —_— INSTALLING NEW ORGAN ‘Work of installation of the new organ at the Sacred Heart church will be started immediately. A ship- ment of parts was recelved Friday and others are expected to arrive within a week. The organ, which will cost approximately $11,000 will rank among the finest in the New England churches. It will take about a month to have the instru- ment in playing shape. BRIDGE FOR FLOOD FUND, .

He charged that neither Maude Lee nor residents of Arizona when the annulment was approved. | Maude Lee testified in obtaining the annulment that she married Gordon at Council Bluffs, Iowa, in June, 1925, to escape custody of her | legal guardian, Mrs. Ella Shannon | of Miami. She declared she ac- companied Gordon on a trip to the west coast with Victor J. Wilson and his wife who attended the ceremony | In Towa, “to keep up appearances.” | She then told of leaving Gordon in California within two months after thelr marriage and of travel- | ing about the west with the Wilsons. The annulment was granted May 5, 1926, but was kept secret until yes- terday, when her attorney here re- celved a copy of the proceedings from Maude Lee's Arizona counsel. Her testimony also brought” out the basis for her fears for her safety which she said caused her to hide for months at a time with friends or relatives. She said she inherited valuable mining property from an aunt when she was 13 years old and that a year afterwards Mrs. Shannon took her to the Shannon home here where she lived two years. Her| mother, Mrs. Susan Bomberry then obtained a court order for her custody. When Mrs. Shannon -sought to again obtain custody of her, Maude Lee sald she became, frightened be- cause of all the court procedure and when the sheriff approached her niother's home she fled to Kansas. Later she went, to Lincoln, Neb,, where she remained until she mar- ried Gordon. “I entered into the marriage cere- mony through fear that the cus- todian might get me,” she testified. “The defendant (Gordon) under- stood this.” ! Although Maude Lee was reported | to be living at Florence with her! mother and step-father, Gordon's at- torneys there said they could not locate her.

The breaks were 150 miles north- west of here, in the west side of the Atachafalaya river. The latest collapses alone will in- crease the agricultural loss of the state by $10,000,000, and bring the total of the state's homeless to near- ly 200,000. When the bayou Des Glaises waters reach the Guilf of Mexico, more than 1,000,000 acres of Louisiana will be submerged in a vast lake 225 miles long and rang- ing from 50 to 100 miles in width. Water 10 Feet Deep The crevasse at Moreauville was reported to be 600 feet wide, with a wave of water eight to ten feet decp sweeping through the gap. Moreauville was rapidly = evacuated yesterday and last night while ad- jacent territory was also being de- serted. Army engineers estimated last night that 100 square miles had been inundated. A naval aviator flying low over the country behind the crevasses late yesterday, sald that the waters would reach Melville, within 36 hours but by that time few people would re- main in the territory. The aviator said the water was moving swiftly. Rescuers Work Hard Coast guardsmen in charge of res- cue work declared they believed no lives would be lost. Former Gover- nor J. M.

Roads in the immediate vicinity of the crevasses were lined with refugees flecing before the rushing tide, and throughout the night boats patrolled the levee line to take off those who went to the dykes for safety. For the most part refugees brought with them only the cloth- ing they wore. Refugees were evacuated to Man- sura, and Marksville.

The police this morning were asked by John Belski - of 86 Rhodes street to help find $1,500, which, he says, was taken from a pocket in his trousers during the night. He had the money in $500 bills, he said, and his trousers were on a table in his bedrogm. He was unable to give the police any clue to the disappear- ance of the “roll.” 'MARRIAGE LICENSE HELD SEVEN YEARS Never Used, Woman Tells Judge in Polics Court Seven years ago August Mandle, a widower, and Mrs, Theresa Gneindo, a widow, were granted a marriage license which has yet to be used for the purpose for which it was issued, despite Mrs. Gneindo's willingness to become a bride, she told Judge Hungerford in police court this morning, when she and Mandle were tried for improper conduct, the case having been con- tinued following the arrests several weeks ago. A civil action brought by the woman is pending in court. Each of the parties is 46 years of age. Sergeant O'Mara testified that he went to a house at 241 Jeronie street, where the couple lived, and while investigating a quarrel be- tween them, he learned that they had not been married to each other, although they were living as man and wife. Mrs, Gneindo has five children by her first marriage and Mandle has four children by his first marriage. One of Mrs. Gneindo's daughters, aged 17, testified that her mother and Mandle lived as man and wife prior to their falling out some weeks-ago. Probation Officer Connolly testified that the couple have had trouble, causing him to in- vestigate. Attorney Alfred - LeWitt, repre- senting Mandle, entered a plea of nolo contendere, and sald the facts as presented are true but he re- minded the court that Mandle, in addition to supporting the woman for seven years, also supported her children. Judge Hungerford con- tinued the cases until next Wednes- day.” Michael Galiska, aged 33, of $14 | High street, was sentenced to jail for ten days for assaulting his wife, !and Judge Hungerford warned him that a much more severe penalty ! will be imposed if he comes before the court again. Mrs} Galiska tes- tified that she is employed in a | factory and her husband drinks J heavily and abuses her. Last night he punched her in the face because she and other women went to a store in the neighborhood and jbrought their mates home intoxi- cated.

BANK FAS $10,000 FOR MISSING WIFE Beneficiary in War Risk In- surance Can't Be I_.ocated Ignacy Klopowlitz was a soldier in the service of the United States dur- ing the World War. He went from New Britain, but he never returned. And now, the Commerclal Trust company has been appointed admin- istrator of his estate, which consists of a $10,000 war risk insurance pol- iey. It is understood that the man had no relatives in this country, but that he wanted the money paid to a New Britain woman if he died in the service. That was againiat the rules and 8o it was up to the authorities to find out whether or not he left relatives in the old country. It is un- deratood -that his widow, Antonina, is living in an obscure village in Lithuania. This information was se- cured through a Jewish welfare or- ganization in New York city.

In that event, ac- cording to law, the state tax commis- sioner made the application. The in- surance is now payable to Klopow- litz's next of kin.
