U. S. ORDERS BOAT TO WUHU.
200 Chinese Killed in Fight as Soldiers
Mutiny.

SHANGHAI, October 10 (P).--The
United States gunboat Panay was cr-
dered to Wuhu today from Hanxow in
view of the emergency created by mu-
tiny of Chinese soldiers there. 1t was
expected to arrive in midafternoon.
Standard Oil Co. officials sent wire
less message to their headquarters here
that they had abandoned the town.
The Japanese are reported to have sent
a ship to Wuhu to bring away the en-
tire Japanese colony
Earlier Reuter- dispatches from Shang-
hal said loyal Nationalist troops rushed
Wuhu and quelled the mutiny which
British women and children we're said
to have returned to their homes.
Wireless messages from foreign men
of-war at Wuhu said the trouble which
began there yesterday with the mutiny
of 500 Chinese soldiers had passed and
Nationalist soldiers were engaged in
rounding up and disarming the mu-
tineerS.
1t is estimated 200 Chinese were killed
in the fighting which lasted most of
yesterday The Wuhu Chamber of
Commerce was understood to have paid
the mutineerS $4,000 to leave the city.
This, coupled with the pressure of at
tacking Nationalist soldiers, was con-
sidered to have terminated the incident.
British official reports from Wuhu
later were that the situation there had
eased, with most of the mutineers dis
armed and the balance Criven from the
city. British residents returned to their
homes.

TUMBLE IN STOCK
PRICES CONTINUES
Market Beaten Down by Vicious
Bear Attack at Short
Session.
By tie Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October 19.-For the
fifth day this week, share prices tumbled
dizzily on the New York Stock Exchange
today. Scores of leading issues sold
down from $5 to $25 a share, and many
broke through the low established in the
break earlier in the month. There was
a notable speeding up of trading from
the dull pace during previous sessions
of the week, some 100000 shares
changing hands in the two-hour
session. The ticker fell more than 40
minutes in arrears.
The feveriSh selling gave evidence of
wild dumping overheard of marginal
accounts weakened in the almost per-
pendicular decline of the past five days.
There was considerable panicky selling
inspired by wild Elmors which were
quickly and emphatically denied in re-
sponsible quarters. One was the old
story to the effect that prominent bull
operator was in difficulties.
United States Steel was supported for
time, but closed at 5000, off $2.25.
General Motors, United Gas Improve
ment and United Corporation sagged
50 or SO to new lows for the year, or
since listing on this market. Auburn
Auto tumbled $25, Westinghouse Elec-
trio $13. Eastman Kodak $l1, and Gen
eral Electric and Montgomery Ward
about $40 each. American Telephone,
Consolidated Gas, American Can, North
American Co., Atchison and Union Car
bide were among issues dropping about
SIS to 81.

ton, the meeting between mother and
son for the first time since Dayton's
arrest was without ceremony. The
young prisoner was ushered into an ante
room and permitted to talk with his
mother privately for 10 or Is minutes.
Both the mother and son comforted
each other.
Arrived Last Night.
Mrs. Dayton arrived here last night
from Kansas City determined to do all
she could in behalf of her son, whom
she affectionately refers to as "Dex."
She was taken to hotel by her only
Washington friends, Daniel S. Ring
and Harvey L. Cobb. Dayton,s attorneys.
Though obviously under a great
strain. Mrs. Dayton was gracious and
considerate in her manner in a talk
with reporters just before noon. She
said she had been pleased with the
kindness of the persons she had met
since arriving in Washington. The
more she talked the more distressed she
became, finally losing her composure
and Sobbing.
Mrs. Dayton declared her son is a
good boy" She explained he always
had been kind to her and had con-
tributed to her support from time to
time since early childhood. She pointed
out she had been widow since her son
was years old.
Gave Her Earnings.
'Why when he was only IL years old
he made $11 vanishing chairs and gave
every penny of it TO me-" Mrs. Dayton
revealed. She added "Dex" was a good
student both in grammar and high
school. The mother displayed a letter
of sympathy from the principal of a
Kansas City school young Dayton for
merly attended.
The mother said she was taken to the
station to start her trip here by group
of friends of her son, all of whom prom
ised to DO whatever they could for
Dayton. Asked If she planned to re-
turn 70 Kansas City, Mrs. Dayton said
she probably would stay In Washington
indefinitely. She expressed hope that
she might find work as a houSekeeper
here.
Mrs Dayton was dressed in black.

DEFENSE OF FALL
CLOSES EVIDENCE
Case Rested Today Expected
to Reach Jury for r1VerdiCt
on Next Tuesday.

After vainly trying to produce in evil
dence from the confidential files of the
Navy Department the famous Gleaves'
report on which was based the alleged
Japanese war scare Of 1921 the defense
in the bribery trial of Albert B. Fall,
former Secretary of the Interior, rested
it's case at noon today.
Government counsel made no effort
to offer rebuttal testimony and Justice
William Hitz excused the jury until
Monday morning while opposing counsel
this afternoon contest the various pray
ers setting forth the points each side
wishes the court to make in the final
instructions to the jurors. With the
summation limited to six hours, the
case is expected to go to the jury early
Tuesday.
Secretary of the Navy Adams, who
was called upon by the defense to pro-
duce the report OF Admiral Gleaves,
made while commander of the Asiatic
Fleet, refused to do so on the ground
that publicity given 1t would be ''in-
compatible with the public interest"
The court was so informed by Capt.
H. A. Stewart of the Navy Department.
Previous Effort Failed.
The war scare of 1921, Edward L.
Doheny previously had testified, had
caused him to bid on the Pearl Harbor-
Elk Hills contract. This confidential
report neverS has been made public and
a similar effort during the former con-
Spiracy trial of Doheny and Fall failed
to produce 1t in court.
Mrs. Fall, WiJe of the defendant, and
Mrs. G. c. Chase, his daughter, were
surprise witnesses just before the noon
recess. Government counsel objected
to their testimony and was upheld by
the court.
Mrs. Chase had just told the jury
about the scene in the room at Ell
Paso, when her father was making
payment on the Harris ranch from
the 100000 he had received from
Doheny.
She had walked into the room, she
testified and upon seeing a stack of
bills on the table, picked one up and
started to walk out of the room with
the laughing remark: Here's where I
go to Mexico"
Was Paying Mortgage.
Her father stopped her, she testified,
and told her seriously that she was TAX
ing away a mortgage on their ranch
property, that he had borrowed the
money from Doheny so that their home
could be put in good shape upon his
retirement from public life.
owen j. Roberts of special Govern
ment counsel succeeded in blocking
further testimony and she was excused.
Mrs. Fall got only so far in a min
ute'S testimony to say that she had
seen money in her husbands desk draw
er at their Washington home after its
delivery by Doheny's son. She was not

PRESIDENT STUDIES
ARMS DELEGATION
Group, to Include Two Sena-
tors, Will Be Headed by
Secretary Stimson.

President Hoover has determined to
send delegation of six members to
represent the United States at the naval
disarmament conference to meet ir
London next January, according to
White House authorities.
With the exception of Secretary of
State Stinlson, VINO it has been known
for some time would head this delega-
ton, the President has not yet made up
his mind as TO the selection Of the re-
manning five members. He has let it
be known, however, that two will be
picked from the membership Of the
Senate.
Two Admirals Named.
The President Eas decided to send
Admirals W. Y. Pratt and HIlafy p.
Jones as naval experts. The former
served IN this capacity. during lhe
Washington Arms Conference nine
years ago, and Admiral Jones served in
a similar capacity at the last Geneva
conference.
The general impression is that Gen.
Dawes, Ambassador to Great Britain,
who conducted the preliminary nego-
tiations between President Hoover and
Prime Minister Macdonald, which cul-
minated in an agreement as to the prin-
ciple to follow In arriving at basis for
naval parity, and Hugh Gibson, AM
bassador to Belgium, who headed the
American delegation to the last Geneva
naval conference, will be named as
members Of the delegation. 1t is thought
likely also that Joseph p. Cotton, Un-
dersecretary of State, who has been
prominently identified with the work in
cident to the preliminary negotiations
and who has been one of President
Hoover's closest advisers, will be a mem
ber.
BOrah and Swanson.
Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator
Swanson, Democrat, of Virginia, chair
man and ranking minority member, re-
spectively, of the foreign relations COM
mittee, are most prominently mentioned
as the Presidents most probable choice
as members of the senatorial repre-
sentation. Senators Watson of Indiana
and Robinson of Arkansas, Republican
and Democratic leaders, respectively, In
the Senate, also have been included In
the speculation.
President Hoover is understood to be
anxious to complete the personnel OF
this important delegation as soon as
possible. He realizes that the delega-
ton will have considerable work to dc
in gathering data preparatory to going
to London and he is hopeful of naming
the remaining five members very shortly

boat to Wuku After Mutiny.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, october 19.-Major hos
tilities between loyal Nationalist armies
and the revolving Ksominchun, or
peoples army of Feng Yu-Hsian,
were reported today to have opened in
the neighborhood of Chengchow, Honan,
junction of the two transprovincial
railway lines.
The reports could not be verified
since communications were all but
paralyzed and rigid censorship pre-
vailed. There were reports that Cheng-
chow had passed into the hands of the
Kuominchun, but this seemed unlikely.
The Kuominchun appeared to be
heading southwark, with Hankow as
their objective, with others of their
number advancing down the Hankiang.
This latter force, 1t was said, had be-
gun siege of Sianyang and Fancheng.
important cities northwest Of Hankow.
The northern force was not expected to
advance further east than Kaifeng,
Honan.
'Ironsides" March Switched.
The revolving "Ironsides" regiment
has switched its march suddenly from
Kwangsi, toward Canton, back toward
Hankow, as If to converge with the at
tack of the Kuomicnhun, If 1t should
reach that point
Meanwhile, Chang Kai-Shek, Ma
tionalist President and generalissimo,
has concentrated his choice troops at
Hankow. He was expected to proceed
there yesterday, but for some unex-
planned reason did not go. 1t was re-
ported from that city the defenses of
the province, Hupeh, consisted of nine
divisions of loyal troops and five bri-
gades Of SZechuaneSe.
Sure Crisis Will Be Averted.
Government departments and adher-
entS in Hankow we're said to have COM
plete confidence in the ability of Chang
to surmount the crisis which faces his
government.
Adherents of Feng Yu-Hsiang in
Shanghai said today that Feng, with
the permission of Yen Hsi-Shan
model" governor of Shanshi Province
yesterday left that province and re-
entered Shensi. He previously was re-
ported arrested by Yen.

The woman had opened the window
and was bending out, the better to peer
at the expanSe OF low roofs almost lost
in the darkness.
Irwin, curiosity aroused, looked below,
but saw nothing.
Withdrew From Window.
The woman raised her eyes nearly
level and discovered she was being
watched. She withdrew from the WIN
dow momentarily.
Irwin by this time thoroughly mysti-
fed at the peculiar actions of the
woman, moved to another window, from
which a better view could be obtained
of the mysterious something far below
that seemed to have claimed the
woman's attention.
AS he opened the second window he
looked up again just in time to see the
woman seated on the window sill, this
time with her back to The Star Building
and to the abyss beneath the window.
