PROPOSES NEW CIVIC BUILDINGS

Public Buildings Commission Votes to
Recommend to Commissioners to
Make New Plan.

course The program of the Public
Buildings Commission for the pur-
chase of all remaining private land
in the triangle does not call for the

Although the Public Buildings
Commission is recommending that
all future municipal structures be

not opposed to leaving the present

The Senator also said the Public

would make an exception to this

Three OF the vessels, battered and

The Public Buildings Commission
today voted to recommend to the Dis
trict Commissioners that the pro
posed group of new municipal struc-
lures be placed entirely outside of the

CONGRESS FIGHTING
THREATS OF DELAY
Three Petitions to Limit

By the Associated Press.
Congress Is coming into the home
stretch to the accompaniment OF
increasing attempts in the Senate to
kill the f1libustering habit with cloture
and threats OF g. general legislative
filibuster in the House, which thus far
has escaped such delaying tactics.
Meanwhile President Coolidge has
hit a fast stride In disposing of those
bills which have successfully squeezed
through the legislative jam, and Is
expected shortly to act on several of
importance.
Three petitions to limit debate on as
many measures are now pending in
the Senate, the third being filed late
yesterday by Senator Lenroot, Re-
publican, Wisconsin, in an effort to
ward off AN impending attack by
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, Ten
nessee. on the $125, 100000 public
buildings bill. Under the rules 1t
cannot be voted on until Monday.
Dam Bill May Lose.
The other moves to invoke cloture
are directed against efforts to prevent
votes on the Swing Johnson Boulder

gency officers retirement bills. The
Johnson petition to limit each Senator
to one hours discussion of the dam
bill and each amendment faced vote

doubtful that he could muster the

Later the police, under orders of

that arrangements be made for an.

CHANG RUSHES AID

Troop Trains Pour Into City,
While British, French and

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, February 26.--Shang-
hal was an international armed camp
| today, with troops of Great Britain,
France and Italy ready for action
should the narrowing lines of Chinese
factional warfare be drawn too close
to Shanghais international settlement.
Offshore, riding at anchor, United
States war craft carrying 2,400 Blue
Jackets and Marines waited, ready
to land the force only in event of
danger to American lives and prop
erty In Shanghai.
Into this wariil1e atmosphere the
northern Chinese poured stream of
troop trains from Nanking, carrying
soldiers under the command Of Gen.
Chang TSung- Chang, war lord sof
Sllantung Province. rushing to the aid
OF the shattered forces Of Marshal
Sun Chuan-Fang. whose army has
been giving ground to the advancing
forces of the Cantonese troops now
nearing Shanghai.
Sun Troops Retiring.
Marshal Suns troops were retreat
ing northward along the railroad
right,of-way south Of Shanghai with
a force of approximately 10000 men,
too weak in numbers and morale to
take a last stand against the ad-
vancing Cantonese, who have biaZed a
path of victory through practically
half of China.
The opposing armies faced each
other today at Sungkiang, on the rail
way line, just % miles south of
Shanghai. Reports received here in
dicated that both sides were preparing
for a fight, the retreating noTtherners
tearing up the railroad tracks to pre-
vent further advances on the part of
the Cantonese.
At the boundaries Of the internar
ttonal settlement at Shanghai, Brit
ish. French and italian soldiers were
on duty with a 20-mile line Of troops,
guns and barbed wire.
Chang May Bolster Defense.
The troops of Gen. Chang Tsung-
Chang are expected to back up the
worn forces at Sungkiang and may
move south 70 tOin the defending
Chinese army there at any time.
Without this aid the remnant Of Mar
shal Suns army would be viewed as
easy prey for the conquering Can
tonese.
Reports received here from Hang
chow, recently occupied by Cantonese
forces, said that labor demonstrations
were taking place there today and
anti British posters were being placed
about the city.
Stray shells which fell into the
French concession at Shanghai on
February %, while a. Cantonese gun
boat was attempting to strike the
northerners' arsenal at the outer edge
Of Shanghai, formed the basis of a
protest from the French legation at
Peking to the Chinese foreign office
