Chang.'s Forces Are
 Again Fleeing Before Victorious Wu Troops

TEEN TSIN, June 12.-(By the Asso- eiated Press) s)-After heavy fighting all day sunday between Chin Wang Tao and Shan Hai Kwan, the Feng Tien forces of General Chang Tso Lin with drew northward toward Shan Hai Kwan. The Chin L forces of Wu Pei Flu are pursuing them.
 Nothwithstanding Chang's overtures for an armstice last week and his re- ported acceptance of wu's terms, the Chin Lii commander maintained cau- tious attitude.
 Fridays attack found the Chin Ii line, extending from the Liao Tung Gulf coast to the hills, strongly sup ported by machine guns and artillery. Chang's request for an armistice is be- lieved to have been a ruse to gain time for a re-alignment of his defeated and retreating troops.

WASHINGTON, June 12.- Foreign nations-World war debtors of this country-have begun submitting to the allied debt funding commission stat ments of their financial conditions in the light of their obligations to the United States.
 It was said today at the treasury that two nations have presented briefs of their conditions in connection with the debts of this country. The names of these two were withheld, however Their statements were being analysed by the commission, it was explained, and would be very helpful when the negotiations for the obligations were begun.
 Statements from the other debtor nations are expected by the commits sion. So far, it was said, nothing of

 "The supreme court now decides in effect that the lease of the Central Pacific to the Southern Pacific be- came void when the Sherman act was passed because of the Sunset Route through Texas competing with the line through Ogden on the north. The business fact is that the line down the San Joauin valley and over the Tehachapi mountains to Los An 2eles was built to meet the public demand for a railroad through the Sar Joaquin valley and on 70 south err California The same public de nand was behind the further exten. sion of the line from Los Angeles eastward through Fl Paso and 10 Sierra Blanca, Tex.

Five Killed, Three Wounded In Holdup
Commenting On Decision Esspee Head Declares Southern Pacific
 Central Separate In Name Only

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-That the Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific railroads have been under common control for half a century, and that their growth has been the development of a single railroad sys- tenn, separate in name only, filling a demand which single company could not have filled, is the asser- tion in a statement issued today by William Sproule, president of the Southern Pacific Company. The statement was issued in commenting on the recent United States supreme court order directing absolute separa- tfon of the two railroads.
 Then Central Pacific has been leased to the Southern Pacific for S7 years" President Sproule said. He continued
 "The Southern Pacific has been the actual owner of the entire capital stock of the recognized Central Pacific for 22 years. The decision of the supreme court is that these facts are in violation of the Sherman act, although the Sherman act was not passed until 1890.
 Besides all this, there IS sufficient evidence that the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific were held in com mon ownership as early as October, 1870. The official records prove that the two have been under common control and management for 50 years. or since July, 1872.
 ''The growth has been of one sys- tenn an dnot of two. The two com panies did what one company could not do under the circumstances of the time. Each has been necessary

CHAPTER vi.

About four o'ciock in the afternoon
the Bumblebee passed Farnum's Land
ing, and later touched at Bethpage
Landing. From the crest of the high
embankment was an endless view of
spreading cane fields. The Generals
house stood in the midst of old trees
near half a mile from the river. Lead
ing from the landing was road in the
perpetual shade of low-brnnching live
oaks. Along the road wild poppies
blazed in patches of sunlight. and in
the shade glowed the color of darker
blood. In clumps Of feathery grasses
insects sang, while from everywhere
came the low and drowsy murmur Of
the cane.
Drace was enchanted with the scene,
the sweet air. Beside him Shottle
long-legged his way, his neck stretched
out
'Yonder comes Uncle Howard, the
General" he said.
Toward them, with slow but firm
and emphatic step, came a tall, spare,
erect old gentleman; and as he drew
nearer, Drace saw that he wore a mus
tache and whiskers trimmed neatly
down to a sharp point. The soldier
within him predominated, the profes'
sional soldier, who is often gentler
and more kindly than the volunteer.
Shottle hailed him, and he quickened
his pace.

She gave him a grateful look for his
trust, now perfectly assured of Shot
ties useful future. But the General
did not appear to be easy in his mind
and little later when he and Drace
were walking about the yard, beneath
the trees, he referred again to the in
vestment. Drace would have shuf-
fed away from it, but the old gentle
man cornered him with a question:
Il want the truth. Did Liberty lie

much esteemed partner, William
Hawkins"
Drace was much taken with Haw.
kins, his quiet manner, his athletic
in talk, the Major having given to
Hawkins scheming wink.
The boat was now fluting her ruffed
way up the river. At table beneath
a great shaded lamp, Shottle sat, not
alone, not staring into vacancy but in
to the expressionless countenance Of
men merciless in vivisection. Luck at
first had cajoled him, let him swell
the fifty he had obtained to near five
hundred, but yellow-looking swab of
whiskers entangled with him and
leeched him down to twenty-five.
Shottle looked at him, his caterpillar
eyebrows, heard his slight hacking
cough, his request for glass of ice
water and said to himself:
Zone of these days I may have
chance to set fire to you as / would
any other patch of dead grass"
Slowly and with an economy painful
for him to practice, Shottle with many
ups and downs built up again toward
two hundred; but at length in the aft
ernoon an old citizen who sat high
and who looked like steer, hooked
him and horned him broke.
Shottle came stumbling over the
doorsill and found Drace in CONVEX
sation with Major Pewitt and William
Hawkins. With wink the Major
enjoined humorous silence, and
mutely they sat attendant on the los
er's mood. Shottle sat down, took out
a card, wrote on It, put it back into
his pocket, tapped his teeth with the
pencil and spoke:
Il have just written a resolve, and
whenever do, 1t becomes law Of my
being. It has Just been enacted and
recorded that never again on this earth
am l to bet another cent. l may go
to houses where there are card parties,
but never again am to shuttle deck.
My career as fool is ended
Who was It that wrote, IF at first you
don't succeed, try, try again? A pris-
on sentence would be too good for the
hatcher Of such a faLlacy. If at first
you find you're wrong, quit. That's my
course for the future"
Il congratulate you. But what are
you going to do?' Drace inquired.
II will drag a surveyors chain and
squint at the landscape. I'll lug tri-
pod and eat raw turnip in the wind.
Or, if compelled to be humber, I can
curry horses"
"And bet some fellow that you'll
have your horses curried first" said
the Major.
With his pencil Shottle slowly
tapped his teeth.
"The first squirt of cold water gen.
orally comes from one as much af-
flicted as yourself. But no matter.
Cold water chills, but at the same time
it cleanses. And from this time on,
gentlemen, Liberty Shottle, the vague

and the actual. If I had q thousand
dollars right now, l wouldn't bet that
