CANTONESE RIGHT
WING DECLARES
WAR ON RADICALS d G. | }
Moderate Leader Starts
Military Operations
Against Liberals

SHANGHAI, April 20. tP) = Actual
warfare between Cantonese forces
under command of General Chang
xai-Shek, the moderate nationalist
leader, and the left wing Cantonese
troops appeared to be under way
today.
Simultaneous with the report from
Nanking that Chang had decided
formally to declare war against the
left wing of the section whose head
quarters is at Hankow news was re-
ceived of the rout of an entire army
of 5000 men led by General Chen
Chien, one of the Hankow generals,
and of the capture by Chiang's army
of large bodies of troops at Wuhu
and other places.
Chang was reported also to have
succeeded in cutting the Marking
Kiukiang railway which virtually
parallels the Yangste river, his OBJ
ject being to eliminate the. possi-
bility of escape by Chen's men. Chen
was the general who occupied Nam
king when the Cantonese captured it
from the northerners. He has dis
claimed, responsibility for the attacks
on foreigners which followed upon
the Cantonese occupation and which
drew the fire of the American and
British warships off shore on March
"a Nevertheless Chang Kai-Shek's
adherents in Shanghai insist that the
action taken against Chen is part of
Chiangs campaign to 'punish him
for the Marking outrage"
According to the advices from Nam
king, where moderate Cantonese gov
ernment was set up by Chang in
oposition to that at Hankow, Gen.
eral Yang Sung has been delegated
by Chang to proceed against the
Hankowites with punitive eXpedi-
tion of $4,000 men. The special court
at Peking which is dealing with the
alleged communists is dealing severe

COMMISSION WILL MAKE
INSPECTION OF COLORADO RIVER

YUMA, April 20 (F1.-A thorough in
spection of the physical features of
proposed dam sites for harnessing the
Colorado river with a total disregard
for present disagreement among the
basin states will be undertaken by the
newly created river advisory board,
starting tomorrow and continuing ten
days through five states in two coun-
tries
Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the
interior, who met the commission today
for the first time since he appointed its
membership of five several weeks ago,
charged that board with it's duties and
impressed upon them the need for
examining the engineering and other
features of proposed projects, partici-
pating in the interstate differences
only in helpful manner.
Elwood Mead, COMMISSION of recla-
nation, who with R. F. Walter, chief
engineer of the reclamation service,
accompanied DR.. Work here, will re-
main after the interior secretary de-
parts for the east at midnight tonight
and head the first phase of inspection
of lower river levees into Lower Cali
fornia tomorrow. Commissioner Mead
will leave the inspection party tomor-
row night.
The board, only four of whose mem
bers We're present at today's meeting,
will leave Yuma Sunday for Phoenix
and on Monday will visit Glen. canyon,
the first and largest of the proposed
dam sites, which is several hundred
miles northeast of Phoenix.
Owing to the wild and inaccessible
nature of the country surrounding Glen
canyon the inspection party will use a
motor boat to reach the dam site to
examine the rock formations and gen
eral typographical features.
From Glen canyon the narty will
! travel along the north rim of the river
canyon to the site of the proposed
Boulder canyon dam construction OF
which is proposed in the Swing-John-
son bill which probable will come III
for action at the next session of con
gress

velopment of the river first was pro-
posed The party is expected to reach
Boulder canyon next Friday. The
Bullshed site, about 60 miles below
Boulder, near Searchlight, Nevada,
next will be visited, and on Sunday the
party plans to inspect the Topock
site near Parker City, Ariz.
After completing the inspection of
dam sites the advisory board will
journey to Blythe on the eastern edge
of California, there to look over the
ground at the proposed intake of the
Los Angeles city domestic water supply
from the stored waters of the Colorado.
While the itinerary is somewhat in
definite from this point forward, the
commission expects to go direct from
Blythe to Denver, Colo, to examine
voIuminous engineering and other data
Oh file there.
Secretary Works memorandum to
the board members instructed them to
inouire specifically into the legal,
economical and engineering phases of
development and report next December
on the following questions:
'Whether the federal government
has power to allocate the unappro-
priated waters of the Colorado river
to the basin states, thus rendering
compact between the states unneces-
sary
"Wha TIL international relations OF
the canal now supplying the Imperial
valley with water through Mexican
canal concession should be continued
