z SEAMEN KILLED
AS BOATS CRASH.
Trapped in the Hold of
Freighter

Two marine workers were trap
ped and drowned when the freight
ers Eurana and Dorothy crashed at
high speed off the Potomac River
mouth, seventy miles below Balti-
more Sunday. Details of the COL
lision were made known as the
freighter Eurana neared New York
late yesterday.
The two victims of the Dorothy's
crew are Lewis Jarvis, engineer, of
Baltimore, and Albert Ruize, fire
man, of San Juan, Porto Rico.
The Eurana made for port with
the 80 survivors who had narrowly
escaped drowning when the rammed
ship sang within 80 minutes after
the crash.
Because the Dorothy was not
equipped with watertight compart-
ments, Jarvis and Ruiz were trap
ped before they could escape from
the ships gaping matches.

REPORT CHANG is
RETURNING ROAD
Tried Final Attack on
U.S.S.R. and Was Beat

The United Press correspondent in
Mukden, Manchuria, wired yester-
day that there was a reliable report
that the Chang Hsueh-liang govern
ment had agreed after the failure
of white guard Russian invasions of
Soviet territory over the week end,
to dismiss the Chinese manager of
the Chinese Eastern Railroad, in
compliance with the demands of the
U. S. S. r.
The recently reported agreement
of the Marking government to re-
turn the road to it's legal, joint So
Wet and Chinese control, was block
ed for several days by the refusal
of the Chang militarist government
in Mukden to dismiss the reaction
ary agents it had placed in charge
of the road. Apparently, if present
reports are correct, Chang decided
on one more attack on the U. S. S.
R., and then, when that failed to ac-
complish anything but defeat for the
white guardists sent to carry it out,
he reluctantly submitted.

In the whole SO, all but two

Traction Co. Gives

In an effort to give added

Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany has given the city check for
more than $9,OOO,0OO settling an old
claim of the city against the trac-
