Proves in Vain.

Sheriff John Fink of Prince Georges

the Fort Lincoln Cemetery just across

Tables for craps, sweat, roulette and

Admission That She Aided
Husband in Fight Leads
to Murder Charge.
BY the Associated Press.

SHREVEPORT, La. June l3.-Mrs.
George w. Gill. 20 years old, was ar
rested here today on charges of mur-
der in connection with the death of
Robert Read. 25, Centenary College
student. whose body was recovered
Friday morning from Old River near
swimming resort. Mrs. Gill's hus-
band, a senior law student at Loyola
University, New Orleans, has con-
fessed that he killed Read in a fight
in Old River Wednesday night. Gill
is held on a murder charge.
An hour after Mrs. Gill was arrested
she was released under $4,000 bond
fixed by Judge J. H. Stephens Of the
District Court, who said: Granting
Of bonds in murder cases is permis-
sible unless the presumption of guilt
on that charge Is great"
No application for bond has been
made for Mr.. Gill.
Mrs. Gill accepted her arrest calmly
She was taken to Jail, but did not oc-
cupy a cell. remaining in the Jail Of
flee until arrangements were made for
her bond.
Mrs. Gills arrest followed her ad-
mission to authorities that she as
sisted her husband in the fight with
Read who, she declared, bit her on
the arm when she came to her hus-
bands rescue at the moment he was
about to be overcome by Read. Gill
claims he stunned Read by striking
his head against the side of a boat
and left him in water waist deep.
Mrs. Gill has admitted that she tele-
honed Read on the afternoon of June
10, arranging with him to meet her at
the river near the scene of the homi-
eide.
Gill has made conflicting statements
on this point. He has said that Read
called his wife and asked her for the
appointment. Both have admitted,
however, that they planned to meet
Read at the place and that Gill in
tended to "beat him up" because he
had been annoying Mrs. Gill.

VALLEY FORGE, Pa, June 13.-
Many of the speakers touring the

The long-drawn wrangle between
Yunnanese troops, brought into
Kwangtung province by the party of
the late DIR. Sun Vat Sen, when there
was a threat of Peking government
supporters ousting it from control of
the southern province, and the
kwangtung army leaders, has been
settled at least temporarily, SO far as
the city of Canton is concerned, the
YunnaneSe having suffered a heavy
defeat.
On Thursday night the Kwang-
tungites. who had been holding Honan
Island, across the river from the city,
succeeded in crossing the stream and
on Friday the foreign residents from
their settlement on Shameen Island
saw the victorious army driving the
defeated Yuunanese from the town,
committing, the dispatches state,
many excesses. The defeat of the
Yunnanese Is attributed to the de-
fection Of Kwangtsi troops. with
whom they were allied in their fight
against Kwangtung.
New strikes of employees of foreign
firms are reported from Swatow, in
northern Kwangtung, Foochow. In
Fukien and Tsinan, in the northern
province OF Snantung.
Strikes Are Spreading.
Strikes also are spreading at Shang-
hal, where, following the killing Of
eight Chinese rioters at Hankow, re-
doubled efforts were made to induce
the employees in foreign cotton mills
and other foreign controlled indus.
trial plants to stop work. In the for
eign settlements. however, the situa.
ton has so improved that the foreign
defense forces have been reduced.
The Chinese city of Shanghai, ad-
joining the foreign settlements, has
been taken over by troops sent
from Nanking by Marshal Chang
Tso-Lin, the Manchurian leader. who
thus has extended his sphere of in
f1uence to the great Yangtze port.
Students are also attempting to
promote a strike of servants and other
workers employed by British and Jap
anese residents of Peking.
