Reports from Russia that wireless
messages had been picked up from the

It was unanimously admitted that

Then somebody suggested that they
couldn't adopt a constitution because
there wasn't any convention. The sec

TOXIC HEARS CHANG
IS DEAD OF WOUNDS
Japan Fears Bombing of
Train May Lead to Uprising
in ManChuria.
3v the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 5.--The Mukden cor
respondent Of the Japanese newspaper
Jill Shimpo today reported that Chang
Tso-Lin, once northern dictator, had
died from injuries received when his
train was bombed yesterday. There was
no confirmation of this from any other
source. The correspondent said that
news of Chang's death was being kept
secret.
Another Japanese newspaper also re-
ceiyed the report that Chang Tso-Lin
was dead.
Impossible to Verify.
Because of the secrecy being main
tanned in official quarters it was i'm
possible to verify these reports. If they
should prove true ID was feared that
the bombing of the train might lead to
serious consequences threatening peace
In Manchuria.
A Japanese war Office dispatch, how
ever, confirmed the death of Wu Chun-
Sheng, military governor of Heilung-
kiang. WI had risen from the ranks
TO become virtually the acting gover-
nor Of Manchuria.
Mo Teh-Hui, Chang's minister of
agriculture. and Yu Kuohan, one of
Chang's advisers we're in serious con-
dition today. Premier Pan Flu was re-
ported to be suffering from shock. Z
Japanese Not Blamed.
Both Chinese and japanese authori-
ties at Mukden were investigating the
outrage. Press dispatches said that
demonstrations Of anti-Japanese feel
ing among the Chinese had calmed
down when 1t was established that the
japanese had no conection with the
bombing.
Japanese official quarters appeared
confident today that there would be no
serious disturbances necessitating the
sending of additional Japanese troops.
Five thousand soldiers are In Mukden
at present and 1t was thought that this
force would be sufficient TO deal with
any emergency.

FARE RAISE MOVE
lSEXPECTED SOON
Capital Traction Head lndi-
Gates 10-Cent Rate May Be
Asked Next Week.

The Capital Traction Co. probably
will carry out its threat to seek an
increase In fare the latter part of next
week, it was indicated today by John
H. Hanna. president.
There are several important details
yet to be worked out In connection with
the drafting of an application for a
rate increase, Mr.. Hanna tntimated. and
this likely will be done at meeting OF
the directors of the company. June Il.
The fare increase petition would be
filed with the Public Utilities Commis-
sion after that meeting under present
plans.
The most important Of these details
concern the new rate of fare to be
asked. While this is still moot ques-
ton, Mr.. Hanna even declined to divulge
the rate which he thinks the company
might ask, Attaches of the Utilities
Commission, however. calculated several
weeks ago, when the street car fare
question was revived that q i0-cent
cash fare or six token for so cents
would be necessary to give the Capital
Traction q fair return on Its present
valuation.
Rumors since that time were that the
company would not ask for rate that
high, and that it probably would be sat-
isfied with a 9-cent cash fare and q
token rate OF for IS cents This would
raise the present token fare from
2-3 cents to 7i2 cents.
No definite indications have yet come
from the Washington Railway & Elec-
trio Co. as to whether 1t viii be party
to the prospective Capital Tratcion Co. S
fare-increase application. William r.
Ham, president, indicated some time ago
that the question had not been consid-
cred. Whether the matter has since
been discussed Is not known. as Mr..
Ham Is in Atlantic City attending the
