Then came 70-mile gale with a
terrific sandstorm that stung our

BY JAMES L. BUTTS.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PEk1NG, June 30.--Neg
over the Shanghai incident are eX.
pected to open shortly. The Chinese
are now showing evidence OF more
Willingness to confine the discussion
to that incident and not introduce ir-
relevant issues. The Chinese nego-
tiators will be DR.. w. w. Yen ard DIR.
c. T. Wang. both former premiers,
and Admiral Tsi Ting Kan, chief of
the Chinese customs service. The
chief representatives of the foreign
powers will be the Italian minister,
Comdr. Cerruti; the French minister,
Count Martel, and the American
charge d'affaires. Mr.. Mayer.
The negotiations probably will be
held in the former imperial villa at
the north lake in the imperial city,
where they cannot be molested by
Communist or student demonstrators.
Silent on Canton.
The government is significantly
silent regarding the Canton shooting,
evidently realizing the entire blame
rests on the Chinese. The radical
press. however, is violently attacking
the British and French, capitalizinE
on the original statement from the
Canton Christian College. which de-
clared the marines firing was un-
provoked, ignoring the subsequent
abject retraction of this statement
made by the vice president of the
college, Alex Baxter.
In connection with the Canton in
cident the minister of foreign affairs
of the so-called Canton government
has transmitted a lengthy protest to
ha & Ia a.
khan. declaring peaceful paraders
were massacred and asking that
Karakhan circulate the interested
powers.
The British protest against the
kiukiang affair of June 13 complains
that the Chinese police and soldiers
did not attempt to check the mob, per
mitting malicious damage and incen-
diariSm. The note reserves the right
to demand full reparations, damages
and apology for the insult to the
British flag.
Urges Fight to Finish.
The Christian general" Marshal
Feng YuHsiang, today issued a
lengthy bombastic circular telegram
supporting the governments treaty
revision request, demanding abolition
of special privileges held by foreigners
in China and calling on all militarists
to cease civil strife and unite ito seize
the opportunity to deal with the for
eigners for a radical change in the
unequal treaties"
Il realize" he stated, that my
troops are no match for the enemies,
that China s armament is inferior and
that Chinas diplomats are less cum
ming, but I would rather fight to death
than live controlled and i'll treated.
Therefore l wish to wage a war of
revenge regardless of success or fail
ure. not giving in until the last man
has perished."
While the general situation appears
to be much easier and no further vio-
lent anti-foreign acts are reported, a
deep undercurrent Of foreign antago-
nfsm is sweeping the country.

Autos Carry More
Than, Street Cars
To Ball Park Here

More base ball fans journey to
the base ball field in automobiles
than on street cars, according to a
check-up made by the firm of Nc
Clellan & Junkersfeld in connection
with their survey Of transporta-
ton problems in Washington.
Counts were taken on three days
of the week, and showed the fol-
lowing results:
Tuesday-In automobiles, Al per
cent; street cars. 45.2 per cent, and
walking, 7.S per cent.
Saturday-In automobiles, SIT
per cent; street cars. 37.1 per cent,
and walking, l0.6 per cent.
Sunday-In automobiles. 57.2 per
cent; street cars. 36.5 per cent;
walking. 6.3 per cent.
The Investigators expressed the
belief that the increased use of
automobiles on Saturdays and Sun
days is due to the fact that more
persons go to the park from their
homes than from their places of
business.
The checkers counted 1850 ma
chimes near the ball park on Tues
day; 1854 on Saturday, and on
Sunday, 3,186.

Messrs. Petty and Gibson Left for
Savannah Sunday Night.

County Agent A. E. Gibson and

and Mr.. Gibson will assist the fair
management and county agents from

The Georgia State Fair is held in
Savannah annually, it having been
moved from Macon to that city on ac-
count OF a break between the Ma
con Fair Association and the Georgia
State Agricultural Society more than
a year ago. Savannah saw fit to meet
the requirements of the agricultural
society, and the state fair was carried
to that city.
Mr.. Gibson, who is secretary OF the
society, states that the Georgia State
Fair is great educational institution
and is not a money making scheme.
The profits will go into the fair, and
this year will see the biggest state

Knee and Ankle Injured by a Fail
While Riding in Savannah.

Mrs. Dan Finn is in Savannah in
to a message that her daugh-
ter, Miss Ruth Finn, was suffering
from an unfortunate accident which
occurred early Wednesday morning
while riding a spirited horse with a
party from the riding club. Without
warning the animal reared, hurting
Miss Finn to the ground backwards
and then rolling over her. Those
who witnessed the accident thought
at first that she had suffered broken
lack, but it was found later when a
physician Was summoned that the in
Jury was torn 1igament in the knee
Joint and sprained ankle. It will be
necessary for Miss Finn to be con-
fined to her room for some time, but
it is hoped that there will be no per-
manent injury. This occurrence will
prevent her from accepting offers to
ride two horses at the horse show
connected with the Tri-State fair be
ing held in Savannah this week.

Many New Farmers Are
Locating in Terrell County
Here From North Georgia Almost
Daily Looking for Homes.

As result of the advertising cam
paign that has been conducted by the
various committees representing the
Kiwanis club and the citizens of Daw-
son many farmers from the northern
part OF the state are almost daily
coming to Terrell county looking for
homes.
Almost every one OF the farmers
who comes here to look around de-
cides to move, and were the tenant
houses suitable for white people TO
live in it is thought by those who are
promoting this work that 1000 could
be located in the county. The only
handicap in bringing them in large
numbers is the great necessity OF
housing quarters. If the land owners
OF the county would fix up these hous-
es it would be but a short time be-
lore every idle acre OF cultivatablt
land in the county would be put tc
work.
