ITALIAN FLAG

Austrian Students Rage

INNSBRUCK, Ausetria, May "a
Students tearing down the flag
from above the Italian consulate to-
day precipitated an international i1f-
cident that threatens to become
serious.
Because the flag was torn down,
the Italian consulate demanded that
it be restored with military honors.
At 1870 p. m. a detachment of
thirty Austrian soldiers, in COM
mand of a lieutenant, swung to a
halt before the consulate building
and raised the Italian flag cere-
moniously from the top of the
building.
The consulate personnel stood in
the windows and gave the fascist
salute-arm extended upward and
out straight from the shoulder-as
the flag was hoisted.
A great crowd, attracted by the
incident, became enraged at the
presence of the Italians and began

3 CHINA ARMIES
CLASH; CONTROL
HANGS ON ISSUE
100000 Troops Meet Near
Pekin in Battle for
Supremacy.
BIZ United Press

bW I HtttU russ
LONDON, May PA major en-
gagement that may go far towards
determining control of the Chinese
central government, developed along
a semi-circular front below Pekin
today.
The forces of Chang Tso Lin, the
monoac of Manchurian province,
who has been in control of the
Pekin government, opposed the on
rush of the two southern armies.
One of thes southern armies was
commanded by Gen. Chang Kai
Shek, while the other was under
command of Gen. Feng Yu Hsiang,
the So-called Christian general"
who long has sought a return to
the northern capital at Pekin.
Onl ythe most meager news
reached London, but there were in
dications the struggle for control
was assuming great proportions.
Fighting was reported bitter and
heavy. The front extended from;
Nankou pass, through Paoting-Fu tc
Tsangchow. Especially vigorous
was the battle along the Pekin-
Hankow River, which almost evenly
divides the new north-south front.
The two forces were variously
estimated at between 100000 and
100000 men.
There were indications that
Chang, who sought peace unsuccess-
fully, had sent out his armies to
protect northern country that he
had controlled. Previously he had
conferred with his generals in a war
council at Pekin and this battle
along the sim-circular front may
have been a result of that war con-
ference.

Of public works to reroute street
cars to serve the Fairview commu-
nifty today by Oren S. Hack, board
president.
The board has considered for
some time the recruiting of the In
dianapoliS Street Railway Company
Fairview line with the view of serv-
ing Butler University students and
residents of, the vicinity.
All Plans Opposed
I'VE want to know our powers be-
fore taking any action in the mat
Ter. The question has been before
the board for several weeks and we
are anxious to dispose of the ISSUE"
Hack said.
Several routes have been proposed
to the board, but all plans have
met opposition.
Improvement of Boulevard Pl. be-
tween Forty Sixth and Forty-Ninth
SITS. has been held up by the board,
pending an agreement on the street
car question.
It originally was proposed that
the railway extend the present Fair
view line northward on Boulevard
Pl. to turn west on Forty Sixth ST.,
the main entrance to the Butler
campus. Butler authorities and the
board expressed opposition to car
track on the principal entrance to
the college grounds.
Buses Suggested
Several hundred residents Of the
vicinity have filed a petition with
the board asking that BUSES be
supplied instead of street cars.
Other property owners expressed
the view that buses would not be
sufficient to handle the large crowds
to the Butler field house and ath-
letic field.
Mayor L. Ert Slack viewed the
streets in the locality with the
board, but was unable to decide on
a suitable route. Slack said he
would confer with street railway
and university officials.

Dry Enforcement Plank Is
Being Urged.

BB URiicd Press
WASHINGTON, May PA har-
mony platform with a prohibition
enforcement plank is being planned
by Democratic leaders here for
adoption at the Houston convention.
Authorities protesting to speak for
Governor Alfred E. Smith brought
forward the suggestion unofdcially
and it has been taken. up by many
of the dry leaders of the party here.
Smiths friends say his prohibit
ton stand has been much misunder-
Stood that he advocates nothing to
infringe upon the Eighteenth
Amendment and that he has never
preached notification.
A strong law enforcement plank
will meet the situation, the leaders
here think.
If their plans carry, the chief
point of dispute over the platform
will be ironed out. Fight over the
same question which developed in
the San Francisco and New York
conventions will be avoided.

STOCKS CONTINUE
 ON UPWARD TREND
Rally Slow Because of Absorb ing Further Profit

New York, Sept. 10 R-Excited public speculation in stocks contin- ued in today's market which wit messed the esta blishment of nearly two score high records on gains ranging from l to nearly l2 points. The rally was slow in getting start ed because of the necessity of ab- sorbing further profit taking Tn some of the recent industrial favor ties, but pools brought forward . number of new leaders and the ad- vance was in full swing by early afternoon.
 Outside the stock market, chief speculative interest centered in the break of $4.5O a bale in cotton prices in reflection of the govern ment crop estimate last Saturday.
 Call money renewed unchanged at 12 per cent and appeared to be in fairly plentiful supply at that figure despite the calling of about $lO,00O,000 in bank loans. Time money was firmer. being quoted at Is 6-s to B. as against . ruling rate of 1-2 last week. Sterling lowered near the years low and around the gold import point" but no shipments of the precious metal had been announced by early after. noon.
 Stock prices moved irregularly higher at the opening of todays market. Montgomery Ward opened |lH points higher at 242, duplicating the high record established last week, and Columbia Gas showed . gain of two points. Chrysler. U. S. Steel and Stanley Co.,. of America advanced . point or more on the first sales. Allied Chemical and Midland Steel Products preferred each fell back about a point. With prices of the best grade shares working steadily toward higher levels. pools were encouraged to extend their operations into stocks whose symbol seldom appears on the tape. The consequence was that new favorites showed brief periods of animation and strength and then lapsed into obscurity again as other issues were brought forward to com mand attention.
 Some unusually large advances oc- cured during the mornings pro- ceedings in which International Nickel reached 130, and Montgomery Ward e50. both record figures for all time. While Republic Steel at 761s was at Its best since 1922. Call loans again commanded 7h per cent.
