IS CONFIRMED
(By dispatch A. P. wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL
"A message confirming a
report Of the firing on the
American destroyers Stew
art and Pope in Chinese
waters September 5 and
adding that the American
steamer ling, was bonn
barded the day before, was
received by the navy de-
partment tonight.
The dispatch, sent by Admiral Clar-
ence S. Williams, commander in
chief of the Asiatic fleet, said that
two men on board the destroyers re-
ceived surface wounds" and that the
vessels were struck several Times.
There were no other casualties.
The fire, which came from the
south shore of the Yangste river, SO
miles below Hankow, was not re-
turned, Admiral williams reported,
as the destroyers were unable to
locate the source of the shells
The firing on the Hing was de-
scribed as heavy and occurred five
miles below Hankow,
A later cablegram from Admiral
Williams dated yesterday said that
American war vessels returned the
fire after being attacked by unidentl-
fled force in Hanyang.

ever.
The American gunboat Palos, the
destroyer Stewart and the Mine
sweeper Pigeon Of the Yangtsee pa
troll, were mentioned as the American
ships which defended themselves after
being heavily bombarded with rifle
and artillery fire.
This was the first time since the
recent outbreaks in the vicinity Of
Hankow that American war vessels
were reported to have fired upon at
tackers. While incidents Of this
kind have been occurring quite frc-
quently there is no indication that
the United States government VIII
take any stern measures, the belief
here being that the Chinese offend
ers against foreign craft generally
were irresponsible factions with no
important leadership. At present Of
ficials believe that American naval
vessels in Chinese waters can take
care of themselves.
The Palos, accompanied by the Ste
wart and Pigeon, were attacked while
they were conveying one American
and one British merchantmen.

TUCSON CHILD

NEAR 4 YEARS

TUCSON, Sept 11-Tied to a post for
nearly four years in a tin shack five
feet by seven, Aurelia Jacova, IA years
old, was adjudged insane today by
Judge Gerald Jones and ordered COM
mitted to the state hospital for the in
sane at Phoenix.
The action came six hours after Pat
Higgins, probation officer, had found
the child lying in filth of indescribable
nature in the shack which adjoins the
home of her aged father, Jesus Jacova,
in the Fort Lowell district.
The child, lying flat on her stomach
and clad only in short blue gingham
dress, only emitted grunts and babbl1ng
noises as the court questioned the
father and a neighbor woman
According to the story told by the
father, the child was born an imbecile
and for nearly four years he has been
forced to tie the child up to keep her
from running away. She is possessed
with a mania for fire, and on several
occasions she has been caught in the
act of setting fire to homes nearby, the
father said.
The girl is about four feet five inches
in height and weighs about So pounds.
Most of the time she lay flat on her
stomach, but when lifted up she re-
mained standing only as long as held
There. When let go, she dropped to her
hands, crouching and grunting. Her
legs showed remarkable flexibility, en-
abling her to crawl or rather walk on
all fours in the same position as any
four legged creature. In this position

same form as a kangaroo, the child at

would demand that plots

stonned at once.
"This must end" shouted II Duce TO
an immense gathering in Colopna
Square tonight. ''We must put an
end to gentle tolerance of parties
culpable in these matters. 1t would
be well for responsible governments
to take note of this because other-
wise their friendship with the Italian
people NAV be fatally compromised.
And we are ready to apply suitable
methods for this purpose"
Premier Mussolipi used the words
"governments'' in the plural and did
not refer by name to his ne1ghbor

clear he meant France.
