I KILLED, 60 HURT
IN CUBAN BATTLE
Guard at Presidents Palace
Doubled as Result of
Political Rioting.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
- HAVANA, Cuba. October 6.-The
guard at President Zayas' palace here
was doubled today as a precaution
following a pitched battle last night
in the streets of Camaguey between
city police and followers of former
President Menocal in which seven
persons were reported killed and ap-
women, were wounded.
Both telephone and telegraph serv-
ice was suspended early today be-
tween Havana and Camaguey, but
prior to that newspaper dispatches
said soldiers had occupied the city,
which is the capital of Camaguey
Province, and had restored order.
The clash was started during a
parade in honor of Gen. Menoca1, who
arrived there yesterday with some
his campaign as the conservative
candidate against Gen. Machado. lib
eral candidate. Each side accused
the other of precipitatinG the trou-
BILE. Gov. Zayas Zazan sof Camaguey
Province was said to hove urged
President Zayas to have all members
of the Menocal party disarmed.
Political feeling between adherents
of Menocal and Machado has been
running high. The fighting at CANA
guey, which lasted some two hours,
followed the firing upon MenocaIs
train some SO miles out of Camaguey
and later the derailment of several
coaches of the train. Two railroad
employees suffered wounds, when un-
identified men fired from the under
brush at the train, but it was said
no one was hurt in the derailment.

Expert.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. October g.
Capt. Burt f. Skeel, killed during the
Pulitzer speed classic at Dayton yes
terday. plunged to his death in a plane
that was worn out two years ago,
Glenn l.. Martin. local aircraft manu-
facturer and member of the board OF
managers of the National Aeronautic
Association, said here on his return
from Dayton.
The air service had no money to buy
new planes for the race and had to
use old ones, Mr.. Martin quoted Brig
Gen. William E. Mitchell, assistant
chief of the Army air service. as say
'ng in Dayton after the accident.
One Plane Remains.
Capt. Skeel was flying one of three
Chrtiss Army racers, bought by the
Government for the Pulitzer races in
1929. One of the planes collapsed in
the air at McCook Field, Dayton,
about six weeks ago. resulting in the
death of Lieut.. Alexander Pearson
The third was used by Lieut.. l.. II.
Brookley in yesterdays race.
THE vice president of the Curtiss
Company told me the planes were
not built to be flown longer than
three months" Mr.. Martin said. AT
the end Of that time they should have
been replaced if used for racing. 1t
was generally understood that the
Air Service couldn't buy any new
planes for the races this year be-
cause Congress failed to make any
appropriation"
Capt. Skeel had a premonition that
he might "go west" on his attempt
to win the Pulitzer trophy, Mr.. Mar
tin continued. Before the flight he
refused to let his friends arrange a
dinner party.
His body will be brought to Cleve-
land by military escort. Funeral

POLO GROUNDS, New York, Octo-

affair, requiring at least half dozen
games and probably going the limit
Of seven today are in a fair way of
being realized as Giants and Nation

time.
Having offset that 4-3 setback in
ficted on Walter Johnson in the 12-
inning opener Saturday with a Garri

the same score yesterday at Wash

the question of which is the stronger

Forecasts for grimly fought, deter

borne out. 1t is doubtful if any fall

games in succession as filled with
action and color as the two already

The best inside information obtain

opposed by Fred Narberry, the tower

into the breach to rescue the wab

Fred if opposed by McQuillan, also
a right handler of size and reputation,
will find in him an opponent worthy
of his mettle. Next to Nehf, Hugh
undoubtedly is the best finger in
McGraw's stable. and the Giants are
banking heavily on him to regain for
them the game advantage that
was lost yesterday when Roger Peck

Heavy Losses in Fighting to

MCKDEN, October 6..Gen. Chang
Tso Lin after As hours of fighting has
captured Chihfeng, which. with the
capture of Pingyuan. sthaightens out
his line. Officials state it is impoS-
sible to enumerate the killed, wound
ed and prisoners. but declare that the
losses have been heavy. Chihfeng is
an important point because it is
touched by numerous roads and rivers
leading to Jehol.
There has been heavy fighting on
the Shanghaikwan front for the past
"a hours, all reports giving Chang
Tso Lin the best of it. The Mukden
forces on this front are organized into
two farces one attacking the Chilli
center and the other carrying out a
flanking movement. The Chihlis own
published reports show that they have
met reverses on both fronts and that
the wounded are being brought back
past Chingwantao.
Attempt EncircIing Move.
On the Jehol front, the Mukden
army is divided into two mobile
forces one consisting of three mixed
brigades of the seventh army,
charged with an attack on Chahar,
and the other, recruited from the
eastern Mongolians, whose objective
is the center of the Chihli front
Another Mongolian army will at
tempt an encircling movement.
Chang Tso Lin has supplied a vast
quantity of ammunition and flying
machines, so that he is almost inde-
PENDENT of lines of communication.
The Mongolians really are cavalry
infantry men. During the Chinese
Mongolan war IL years ago, they
proved greatly superior to the
Chinese. continually defeating forces
many times their own numbers.

papers-which subsequently were
confiScated and their editors thrown
into prison-State that the Christian
general, Feng Yuh-Hsiang's division
again had shown signs of refusal to
go to the front while the men had
eight months back pay due them.
Wait To Pick Winner.
The Chihli commanders, who have beer
waverfng, undoubtedly are waiting to
see the outcome of the first strong battle
at Shanghaikwan. If WI Pei Flu is sue
cessful it is certain that many will de-
sert to his side. 1t is said that Fene
Yuh Hsiang is backing up the demands
of his troops for payment of their ar
rears This, combined with renewed
fighting by Chekiang troops, is causing
considerable worriment to Peking.
Chang Tso Lin, in an interview today
expressed complete satisfaction with the
progress thus far. He smilingly ad-
mitted he anticipated these initial sue
cesses, but in no way overlooked the i'm
portance of the fighting now taking
place at Shanghaikawan. He was con-
