News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 SEVEN AHERICAN NAVAL SHIPS ARE OVED N CHIMA Ordered fo Cheloo to Be Near Zone of Operations in Native Givil War NEARLY 3000 MARINES | START FOR TIENTSIN Troops Are To Be Withdrawn, An- nouncement Says, As Soon As Conditions Indicate That Forelgn- ers In Northern Districts Are Safe —Minister MacMurray Standing Pat On Legation Location. i ‘Washington, June 2 (®—Seven American naval vessels in southern Chinese waters have sailed for Che- foo, on the Gulf of Chihli, near Tientsin, presumably to be nearer the zone of operations of the con- tending Chinese factions. The movement of the ships coin- cides with the transfer of large forces of marines from Shanghai to Tientsin, which has been picked as a concentration point for American residents of China in case of disturb- ances following the retreat of the northern Chinese armies. Four Destroyers Included Four destroyers are included in the group, the Paul Jones, the Noa, the William B. Preston, and the Pruitt. They left Shanghai May 31. The airplane tender Jason also has left Shanghai for northern Chi- nese waters, and the mine sweeper Bittern and the oll tanker Pecos are en route to the concentration point. ‘Whether any of the vessels car- ried the marine force being trans- ferred to Tientsin for emergency use was not disclosed. Naval movements given out today also had the gunboat yacht General Alava leaving Chefoo for Tsingtao on May 31 and the destroyer Trux- ton departing yesterday from Shang- hai for a trip up the Yangtze. The river gunboat Guam, one of six built by the Kiangnan dock and engineering works at Shanghal for the United States navy, was launch- cd at Shanghal on May 29. The Tutila is expected to be launched soon. Peking Site Unchanged. Peking, June 2 (A—Desplte inti- mations from Washington that the American legation might be with- irawn from Peking to the coast in case the Chinese civil warfare draws nearer, the attitude of the le- gation indicates that Minister Mac- murray s determined to maintain the status quo. Nearly 2,000 marines, Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler com- manding, are en route to Tientsin from Shanghai following the minis- ter's request that the United States forces in Northern China be strengthened. A legation spokesman today said: he Nanking incldene and the | general Chinese attitude in the Yangtze valley toward forelgners, coupled with recent events in the north, necessitate an increased guard, enabling the strongest efforts to protect life and property in northern China. However, the troops will be withdrawn as soon as events permit.” Dispatch of the marines from Shanhal is part of the British, Jap- anese and American decision to in- crease the garrisons in the northern sectlon of the country, With 2,000 Japanese troops already landed at | Thipgtao, Shantung province, a Brit- (Continued on Page 11.) | MRS, GRAY YISTS HER HUSBAND IN PRISON Death House Call Her First Trip to Sing Sing % = | Ossining, N.

Reasons Given | Although the New York Central owns an overwhelming proportion:of the stock of both of the smaller lines, Ralph R. Molster, the examiner ‘urgcd that the commission disap- {prove the entirc project on the ground th t it did not provide for the maintenance of short line railroads which operate in the New York Cen- |tral territory. Other Adverse Decislons Adverse decisions which the com- mission has previously made in the ckel Plate and the Virginian-Nor- | folk & Western consolidation cases ‘were cited by the examiner as | ground for a rejection of the New | York Central plan. While the | York Central owns the Central and the Big Four (t} land, Cincinnati, Chicago St. {of stock, it has operated them as eparate units, The purpose in leas- ing them, the examiner's report ex- plained, was to create a single, strong operating unit, and the report agreed ,that such a merger of corporate {identities would increase materially the operating efficiency of the New | York Central system. Minority Opposed Nevertheless, minority stockhold- iers of the Michigan Central and the ! Big Four opposed the terms of the |lease and in addition a group of |short line railroads operating in |New York Central territory object ed. Some of the short lines asked New York | sateguarding in traffic matters. | The examiner said that the com- i mission in rejecting Nickel Plate |and Virginian consolidations had es- {tablished the principle that public in- terest had to be definitely served be- fore any railroad consolidation could {be permitted. The New York Cen- tral, he added, if allowed to proceed with its consolidation plan would be cnabled to disregard the fate of the connecting short lines. On that cround the commission was advised to deny the permission which the New York Central sought. Opportunity will be given all of the interests concerned to argue the ! recommendations before the commis- |sion. A final decision will be ren- dered later.
