|LL|N| TO SEND
TEAM TO MEET

Chicago, June 12.-Announce-
ment of Illinois entry in the ma
tional intercollegiate track and
field meet at Stagg Field next
Friday and Saturday was hailed
with rejoicing in college circles
today, especially among Illinois
alumni who had smarted under
the sting of criticism of their
alma mater caused by Coach
Gill's announcement last week
that the Illini would not compete.
This criticism was in large
measure responsible for Illinois
decision to enter, despite Coach
GilPs objections to rules govern
ing the national event and the
prolonged track season.
Aside from allaying criticism
the entry of Illinois brought joy
to athletic circles because it as
sures a feature, probably the out
standing one, which was appar-
emily missing from last weeks
prospects, duel between the
IlIini and California.

Tien Tsi ,hina, June 12.-
(By Associated Press
Chang Tso-Lin's proposals for
armistice with WI Pei-Fu appear
to have been simply a ruse to gain
time for the defeated Manchurian
war lord. Heavy fighting broke
out Friday between Chinwangtao
and Shankaiwan. The battle has
been raging steadily for the past
three days.
This morning Chang's Feng-
tien forces launched violent
drive against the right flank of
the Chihli army, resting on the
sea at the mouth of the Gulf of
Lao Tung. Wu's battle line held
fast, however, and the Fengtien
assault was repulsed. Two car
loads of wounded are expected to
arrive in Tien Tsin from the front
tonight
Coke's rifles, a British Indian
regiment which left here Friday
for Shanhaikwan to protect for
eign interests there, has been held
up at Chfntangtao, owing to the
fresh outbreak of fighting.
General WI Pei-Fu has order
ed his third division, the crack
unit of his army and considered
the best trained fighting unit in
China, to leave its base at Tang
ku today for the front.

Incoming Tide Carries
Eighteen More Bodies
Of Storm Victims
BEACH RESORT HIT.
Pleasure Seekers Caught
In Wind Which Plays
Havoc With Boats and
Amusement Places.

New York, June 12.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. )-The death toll of
the brief but terrific hurricane
that swooped down on the metro
politan area late yesterday passed
the 60 mark today with indica-
tions that the total number of
dead might go much higher.
The death list leaped ahead
when an incoming tide returned
IS more bodies that had been
swept out to sea last night. Four
more bodies were recovered at
Hunters island and two were re-
ported to have been picked up at
Travers island.
Beach Resort Wrecked.
City Island-haven for Sunday
pleasure seekers and amateur
fishermen-was the hardest hit
point in the metropolitan area, but
casualties, mostly by drowning,
were reported from many other
points. The beach at City Island
today presented desolate spec
tacle. Several hundreds persons,
relatives of the missing-worn by
hysteria, waited in little groups
among the wreckage on the Sand
for some word of the fate of their
loved ones.
Marine squad police, exhausted |
by their all night vigil, continued |
their cruise, keeping a sharp |
lookout for additional bodies.
More Drowned, Belief.
The full toll of the storm may
not be known for days, If ever.
Boatmen at City Island said
there were 46 small boat as yet
unaceounted for. Occupants of
many of these undoubtedly were
saved by United States coast
guards and by members of yacht
clubs about the island, who put
out as soon as the blow had sub
sided but the police believe many
more were lost. There were at
least ESQ smallboats and canoes
out when the sQuall struck.
All the damage was wrought IN
less than 15s minutes. The New
York weather bureau reports the
storm lasted officially only five
minutes.
1t was described as a severe
thunder sQuall" during which the /
wind averaged 72 miles an hour
There was brief period when the
wind velocity touched IS miles an
hour and it was at this point, it is
believed, that most OF the damage
vas done.
