"After n few weeks many girls

TYPHOON ABATING

TTONGKONG, Aug. 1S-The wild
est typhoon in the history of
Hongkong bay was abating here to-
night as authorities checked over
damaged shipping TO ascertain the
extent of the disaster.
Available reports indicated that
only two important ships had been
the steamer Loonsang. Many small
boats were destroyed however, and
it was feared the total of the death
toll would be high.
The disaster brought forth many
deeds of heroism. A sailor was
clinging to the L-9 as she went
down, but was saved by a mate
from a nearby warship who leaped
into the boiling seas with a life
line and grasped the drowning man.
Both were pulled safely aboard the
warship.
The Loonsang was swept from
her anchorage and pounded. to
pieces by the heavy waves. Watch
ers saw part of the crew attempt
to put off ON a1life raft, but they
disappeared. 1t was-at first report
ed the lost steamer was the Nung-
sang, but this was later corrected.
Scores of small boats were
swamped or crushed by the giant
waves and a number of steamers
driven ashore.

barrels of burning crude oil in the
General Petroleum company s re-

day after a heart breaking "a hour
battle with the flames.
Working in the intense heat all
last night under the torchlight Of
the flames, which rose 400 feet in
the air and were visible for 200
miles at sea, an army of more than
1000 fire fighters had thrown up
by morning what is believed to be
sufficient entrenchments to divert
the streams of burning oil which
have been periodically pouring over
the sides of the mammoth tank.
At one time last night the blaz-
ing flood threatened to sweep over
a wide area containing scores of
houses, several large distillate and
gasoline tanks, and portions of thes
Fort Macarthur barracks. A huge
bubble, estimated to contain 10000
Barrels theliquid fire, poured
over the side of the boiling lake
and swept through an uninhabited
canyon, destroying everything in
its path and spreading out on the
ocean for more than 500 yards.
The hastily thrown up dykes
were sufficient to protect the
nearby residential district, however.
All the homes in the vicinity were
vacated early in the evening, and
the people had not been sufficient

The present price of "a cents is

the valley, j. A. Harris, said in

the price will not go below 20 cents

paign is now under way in movie
land to raise the dignity of eek
tra' work and to form a colony of
extras so that all may obtain rea-
sonabe living and form substan-
tial part of Hollywood life.
Hollywood wants fewer drifting
girls-girls who are given to chance
acquaintance, and who, because of
Jack of proper environment, are
tempted to listen to improper adj
vances by men influential in the
studios.
Several years ago the Y. w. c. A.

coming to Hollywood to go into the
movies. 1t housed 20 girls. They

has always been filled to capacity.
The two weeks rule has never been
enforced, and girls were housed
there for several months, until they
could get on their feet financially.
Membership in the Studio club
is not limited to girls who aspire to
be actresses, but is open to all girls
who work in the movies-steno-
graphers, film cutters, scenario
readers and secretaries.

A campaign headed by Will II.
Hays, movie czar, and the big pro-
ducers, to raise $150,000 for new
Studio club building, to house 100
girls and serve as a recreation cen

girls in Hollywood. Girls would be
permitted to live at the new home

EXCLUSION LAW

Speakers At Political

Yellow Peril
BY JOSEPH L. JONES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WILLTAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug
18.-Laws to exclude Asiatics from
the United States will be "flimsy
barriers against the rising tide of
Oriental population if Asia as a
whole becomes occidentalized like
Japan, in the opinion of speakers in
the institute of politics here today.
1" Exclusion laws are the pro-
duct of a situation which should
have the thoughtful consideration
of peoples of the east and west, -
said William s. Culbertson, vice
chairman of the United States
tariff commission, "for while they
dam the tide they do not touch the
issue in the background
The main factor, Culbertson said,
is increased population of the Asia
tic countries driving people to. seek
g better feeding Places" Exclusion
laws arouse resentment against the
attempts of the white races to ex-
clnde the Orientals from certain
valuable areas, he said.
The white, races are eXhauStlng

FRENCH REFUSE
DISCUSSION OF
u RUHR POSITION
FrancO-Belgian Decision
Final on Occupation,
Says Millet

PARIS, Aug. 1S.-With Premier
Poincare reply to the British rep
arations note completed and report
ed ready for delivery in London
early next week, the Petit Parisien
today printed leading article by
Philippe Millet, usually well in
formed regarding government af-
fairs, declaring the Franco-British
viewpoints on reparations and the
Ruhr are irreconcilable.
England doubts the legality of
Franco-Belgian occupation of the
Ruhr, the writer said, while France
is so sure of her position that she
refuses even to discuss it.
England desires evacuation of
the occupied territory prior to the
entire payment Of reparations,
while France and Belgium firmly
refuse.
> England wants a fresh adiudca-
tion of Germany's capacity to pay,
while France and Belgium refuse to
revise the arrangement of May,
1921.
1t generally was considered in
semi-official circles that Millet s
statement might be taken as a re-
sumo of the government attitude,
which will become known official
ly with publication of the Poincare
reply. which was understood to have
been sent to Brussels last night for
approval of the Belgian government
before delivery in London by the
French ambassador, st. Aulaire.
Meantime there was no indication
of a break in the Franco Belgian
solidarity under pressure.
The minister of finance announc-
ed last night after conference
with the director of the Belgian
National Bank that France has
agreed in principle to a loan of
400,000,000 francs to be raised in
the French market for use in boil
stering up the Belgian franc.
Premier, Poincare will meet
Prime Minister Baldwin of Great
Britain Immediately after the lat
ter returns from his vacation in
AK les Bains, for new discussion
of the problems of reparations, ac-
eording to semi-official information
here today.

TYPHOON SWEEPS HONGKONG BA1
Divorces Battle;
w O m a n Killed;
Man In Hospital

FRESNO, Cal, August .18.-
Mrs. Dora E. Murphy, 25, is
dead and her divorced husband,
G. G. Murphy is at the county
general hospital seriously
wounded following what is be-
lieved to have been a fight
betwcen the two at the wo-
mans rome last Mig. He is
expected to recover.
The two apparently hal en-
gagged in terrific struggle for
posse ssion of a pistol when
Murphy attempted to slay the
woman, police said, and in the
struggle he was shot twice
through the body. The woman
was shot through the heart,
brain and arm, apparently while
Murphy he'd her with ore hand.
After the shooting to which
there were no witnesses, Murphy
bleeding pcofusely apparently
started to drive away in his car,
bllt lost consciousness and his
car ran into a telephone pole
ard was wrecked. The pistol,
with five exploded shells, was
found in his pocket by the
police.
He regained consciousness af-
ter five hours but refused to
make any statement other than
that both he and Mrs. Murphy
had fired one shot each.
Little is known of the
Murphys other than that they
have a son, Virl, II, high school
student, and a daughter, Dor
othy, IA, who is visiting rela-
tives in Los Angeles. Passerby
hearing the shooting rushed into
the house in time to see Murphy
p run from the back yard and
speed away in his automobile.
Mrs. Murphy was lying dead on
the kitchen floor.
