IN RELIGIOUS FURY
All Male Residents of City of

PEIPING. China. July 30.-Massacre
by Mohammedans Of 10000 men and
boys in Dangar City, province Of Ching
hal, was reported yesterday by Findley
Andrews, American missionary, with
details which read like pages torn from
the worst chapters of medieval persecu-
ton and rapine.
Andrews, who has just returned from
three month investigation in the fam
Inc areas Of Northern China for the
China Inland Mission, assembled infor-
nation from magistrates and other
Chinese officials, reports to the Inter-
Mohammedan raiders in the lapse of two
hours annihilated the male inhabitants
of the unhappy city and then looted the
homes.
From what the missionary learned,
the raiders attacked the mountain town.

frenzy.

could ascertain every able bodied man
was killed, while the aged, the very

in cellars, escaped. Religious fanaticiSm

for some time and 1t was estimated 200
900 persons were killed between April
and October, last year.
The raid on Dangar occurred during
the Winter, and was described by An
drews as the most gruesome in the long
history of the Moslem outbreaks in
China. It was not the most terrible in
loss of life. however, for a Kansu Mos

Andrews did not visit personally. From
reports of Chinese officials he supposed
it happened some months ago.
News from the wild Chinghai territory
is always meager because of lack of
means Of communication.
At the time the Mohammedans
swooped down on Dangar the city was
filled to overfowing with starving refu-
gees from other famine districts. The
victims were trapped like rats, when the
attack broke early ip the morning and
never had a chance to fight for their
lives

Mr. Hartman asked whether the
average age Of street cars in Washing
ton was not about 171a years, and Mr..
Hanna said that was approximately cor
rect.
AS Mr.. Hartman continued to ask
detailed questions about the age Of the
company's properties, Mr.. Dunlop in
terrupted him.
II don't know what the purpose Of
these questions is" said Mr.. Dunlop,
but If they are intended to affect the
value Of the company's total property
for rate-making purposes. by deducting
depreciation, We must object to all of
them. because under the decision Of the
Court Of Appeals. depreciation Is not
deductible, for the reason. as stated by
the court, that the company is main
tanning a sinking fund for the protec-
ton of its property from depreciation"
At the request of Mr.. Hartman, the
courts decision on this point was read
into the record by Mr.. Dunlop. Mem

said.
Hartman Directs Questioning.
Commissioner Hartman took charge
Of the questioning of Heberle at the late
session yesterday and piled him with
questions relating to various items OF
valuation. going back as far as 1914.
Mr.. Hartman was evidently laying the
groundwork for detailed inquiries into
all the elements Of the company's valua-
ton, both. before and after the Valua-
ton found by the District Court OF Ap-
peals as of January l. 1925.
Mr.. Dunlop objected strenuously to
this and said that the commission had
no right to inquire into any item OF
valuation prior to January !, 1925, as
that was res judicata" by reason OF
the courts decision. Mr.. Hartman
countered with the statement that all
Of the questions were directed to the
final figure shown by the company as
it's claimed valuation as Of December
81. 1928 This Is composed, he said. Of
many elements, including items pur-
chased prior to 1925, and he had right
to inquire into the propriety Of any item
nov in the claimed valuation regardless
Of whether it was added to the COM
pany's properties before January l, 1925,
or not.
Mr.. Dunlop explained that this must
not be taken as unwillingness Of the
witness to testify to the facts as far
as they were material. but that the wit
ness had not brought with him the doc
uments which would allow answers to
the questions. He said that answers to
such questions as he considered ma
terial would be prepared and offered at
q later date. II 1t suited the commission.

THE proposed refrigeration code
for the District which would place
firm restrictions on the methods OF
installation of artificial refrigerating

been lost on the desk of some Dis
trict official.
Several months ago when the reg.
ulations were forwarded to the Com.
nnissioners for approval a public
hearing was ordered, at which pro-
test went up from the manufacture
eFs of electric ice boxes and ice
cream companies.
The code vas studied section by

giving those Interested an interval OF
three weeks in which to send in their
own suggestions. So far nothing has
come out OF the Board Of Commits
siofiers as to the date of another
public hearing.
finder terms OF the code all install
lations, Of even house refrigerating
boxes. must be passed by the inspec-
tor Of plumbing, and If found faulty

One suggestion was made that the
same code be placed in effect here
! as the one in other cities which has
the approval Of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters.

While many OF. the buildings have
