Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

SHANGHAI, March 12.-British
soldiers had their first taste of ac
tion on the Shanghai front today
when 500 north China soldiers from
Shantung Province, attempted t.
enter the foreign settlement. There
was no hloodshed
The Chimes sought TO cross n
bridge into the foreign area and
were opposed by two platoons of
Durhams in fun war kit. Sentries
stopped the Chinese and called for
reinforcemcnts upon whose arrival
the Chinese peacefully abandoned
the effort to cross the border
bridge.
There were indications today that
the United States planned to main
tain n marine unit here indefinite
ly. 1t was understood that Amcri-
can marines. whose enlistments cx-
pircd in September or sooner had
been ordered 20 proceed to Guam.
Today being the anniversary of
the death of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, for
years radical leader of the Canton
est, it had been expected that there
would be serious labor trouble here
when the Cantonese svmpathizers
among the workers cndeavored to
commemorate the occasion. But at
7:40 p. m. the day had been com
parativcly quiet. The police had
dispersed several gatherings and
there had been numerous arrests,
but the general strike did not ma
terialize.

Dishman Found
Not Guilty

William Dishman was found not
guilty on Il charge of threatening to
take life and commit murder by
Judge Hawkins at Heber yesterday
afternoon. Complaint in the ease
was entered by Elmer Boshaw. Jury
trial was waved and the matter
aired before the judge.
The prosecution was in charge of
Edward II. Law. The evidence tend
ed to show that during an alterca-
tion at ball park near the McCabe
school, Dishman told Boshaw, q II
stick Il knife in you.
Evidence for the defense, how
ever, tended to show that Boshaw
had made a counter threat. The
case assumed much the appearance
of Il schoolboy scrap, in the estima-
tion of attorneys.

FIVE RECAPTURED
Two Policemen Wounded
in Pistol Battle With
DesperadOes.
BY BERT M. DENNY

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, March IA daring
attempt of six men to escape from
the VIII County jail at Joliet, Hi
nois-where they were held pending
their execution for killing deputy
Warden of the state prison in an
other jail break-today was foiled
by police.
Three Mexicans who managed to
get out of the Jail drove into Chi
cago, engaged in shooting duel
with police, and two were captured.
Two policemen were shot and dan
gerously wounded in the duel.
The third Mexican to escape still
is at liberty, but his capture is be-
lieved imminent.
The three others involved in the
escape attempt were overpowered
before they could leave their Jail
cells.
The attempted jail break came
shortly after d. m. Gregorio Rio,
Roberto Torrez and Bernardo R0a
pushed the bars from their Jail cell
windows and dropped to the ground,
Just in the shadow of the scaffold
built for their hanging.
They reentered the jail through
the main entrance and over power
ed John Kirinich, night chief guard,
and seized all of the pivots in the
Jail office.
The three prisoners then went
into the cell block, held up other
guards and passed guns and sawa
to Charles Duschowski, Charles
Shader and Walter Stealesky, three
men with them ON their escape
from the state prison and who also
are under sentence to be hanged.
Then they forced Kirinich to
drive Sheriff Albert Markgraf S
motor ear out of the city.
Tear Bombs Used
Meanwhile a warning had been
sounded in Joliet and a posse sur
rounded the Jail on reports that
Duschowski, Shader and Stalesky
had taken armed possession of the
Jail. The posse tossed tear gas
bombs into the cell block, but there
was no answer. Then the posse en-
tered the Jail with drawn guns and
found Duschowski, Shader and Sta
leskv suffering from the effects of
the bombs. They had been unable
to open their cell doors and make
an escape.
The three MeXicans forced Kir-
mich to drive them to Michigan
City, Ind, where bearing in the
sheriff's motor ear burned out. The
four entered a restaurant, ordered a
breakfast, and told the waitress to
call a taxicab.
A cab, driven by Joseph Marei-
niki, appeared and the four ordered
the driver to 90 to a South Chicago,
Illinois, address.
A general alarm had been spread
in Chicago that the three escaped
prisoners were enroute here and all
police in the south end of the city
were ordered to carry revolvers and
rifles. Several district police ears
were in constant patrol.
One of these ears was in COM
mand of Captain John Klasky and
Sergeant John Grant and Patrolman
Joseph Fraust accompanied Klasky.
They encountered the speeding car
and ordered a halt.
The three Mexicans leaped from
the taxicab and started firing at
the patrolmen. There was an an
swering fire.
Sergeant Grant was shot in the
