Taken 5000 Lives

Tokyo, May 3O.-(AP)-Advices
from Tientsin today said heavy
fighting was in progress along the
Peking- Hankow railway between
Northern troops and Shansi Province
troops, allied with the Nationalist.
The battle, which began last Sat-
urday, was reported to have taken a
toll of 5000 lives.
The Shansi army was attempting
to draw the main force of the
Mukdenites (northners) into the
province of Shansi to the west in
order to weaken the position of the
northern allies on other fronts. The
movement was intended to allow
troops under General Feng Yu-
IIsiang, Nationalist ally. to break
through to the east of the railroad
at the strategic center Of Hokienfu,
about 70 miles southwest of Tientsin.

tains an item of si71 400 for raising the

1t was our own Clifford Brooke Of the

the reputation Of being one OF the best

fairly challenged the younger Nugent In
the title role. There were indeed many
who agreed with this reviewer in pro-
nouncing the performance as a whole
far better than that given by the Nu-
gent company.
Mr.. Ridges work was an exceptional
bit Of fine comedy, never eVerdone and
always amusing without even being r.
diculous, danger that would threaten
the chap who ever undertook to match
the Nugent performance. Manager
Cochran may content himself with the
belief that he has now one of the finest
leading men he has ever had, and the
many patrons Of his players viii look
forward with high anticipation to fur
ther good work by Mr.. Ridges.
Miss Leneta Lane also gave fine

JADWIN DISAPPROVES
2 VIRGINIA RIVER JOBS
Improvement of Chuckatuck Chan
mel Held Too Expensive for Bene-
fits That Would Be Derived.

An adverse recommendation has been
made 10 Congress by Maj Gen. Edgar
Jadwin on a proposal to improve the
channel of the Chuckatuck River In
the Counties Of Isle OF Wight and
Nansemond. Va.
Gen. Jadwin said that "a readjust-
ment of transportation in the general
vicinity of Chuckatuck River viii be
caused by the construction OF the
James River Bridge"
1T seems certain that the business
now handled by the ferry viii be
largely diverted to the highway" he
said. "A channel across the bar at the
mouth of the river would be expensive
TO maintain, as the locality Is exposed
to westerly storms. The general bene-
fits appear to be Of insufficient magi-
tude TO justify the large expenditure
which would be required TO provide q
dependable channel"
