WRONG PICTURE USED.

The Star enormously used a picture
yesterday of DR.. George F. Freeman,
Navy Medical Corps, identifying 1t in
the caption as being DR.. George F.
Freeman, who has been at the head
of the Department of Agriculture in
Haiti.
The picture was supplied to The Star
by a photographic-neW agency as be-
ing that of the DR.. Freeman now in
Haiti whose name has been promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
disorders there. The Star regrets the
error.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
NATIONS REQUESTED
Resolution of Ben w. Murch Home
and SchocI Association Asks
New Authority.

A resolution requesting the Board of
Education to petition Congress to grant
the authority for placing matrons in
the elementary schools of the District
as well as in the high schools was
adopted by the Ben w. Murch Home
and School Association yesterday after
noon at a meeting In the Methodist
Home for the Aged, Connecticut avenue
and Elliott street.
The present law provides only for
matronS in the Junior and senior high
schools, while the need for matrons in
the elementary schools has been found
to be Just as great, according to the
resolution.
A resolution appealing to Maj, Henry
@. Pratt to establish police substation
at Davenport street and Connecticut
avenue was also adopted. The resolu-
ton points out that there is no regular
police stationed at that intersection TO
control traffic and that the lives of
pupils crossing from the Burch School

NATIONALIST HALT
|. ATTACK ON CANTON
Heavy Engagement Against
Rebel Troops Continued
Since Monday Night.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CANTON, December 1.-THE rebels
initial attempt to capture Canton APP
peared today to have been temporarily
checked by Nationalist government
troops after a heavy engagement since
Monday night, with many thousands Of
casualties on each side.
Dispatches from Shanghai stated that
wounded began to arrive in Marking
today from a battle in progress so miles
north of Pukow between Loyalist SOL
diers and the revolving Pukow garrison.
Fighting was described as intense.
British and japanese warships were
on their way up the YangtSe Kiang to
aid in evacuating their nationals in case
events force that move. An American
flotilla Is expected here tomorrow with
like intent.
Disorders Are Feared.
A rebel victory, it was thought, might
conceivably initiate train of events
ending in the fall of Marking and the
Nationalist government. Serious disor-
ders affecting foreigners in the central
capital in event of its fall were feared
here.
The Pukow mutineers began the Of
fensive near Chuchow with severe fight
ing developing along the Tientsin -Pu-
kow Railway. The Nationalist troops
we're said to consist Of three divisions
and one regiment, with additional forces
en- route from Marking.
Five hundred Nationalist troops at
Marking we're disarmed by government
officials because their loyalty was ques-
toned. They did not resist. Additional
foreigners left Marking for Shanghai.
A strict censorship was believed to be
preventing stories of important happen
ings in Central China from permeating
to the coast and the outside world.
27 Miles From Canton.
Rebel forces advancing on Canton
Monday night were only ~ miles away;
1t was said a fierce battle ragged for
several hours that distance north Of the
city.
Large bodies Of reinforcements were
rushed from Canton to stem the rebel
advance. Hospitals in the city were
full of wounded. Steamers going to
Hongkong from Canton were crowded
with families of Chinese officials.
Reports said the railway line between
Shanghai and Marking, wrecked several
days ago. supposedly by insurgents, had
been repaired. Train service however
had not been resumed. Rumors, as yet
unverified. said the insurgents had sue.
ceeded in again cutting the line shortly
after it had been repaired. Night
service on the railroad has been def
nitely abandoned as precaution against
any insurgent attempt to wreck trains.

The court knew of no place to put

Bad Market Advice

CHICAGO, December l1.--Not
for his own stock market losses

self last night. He was unmarried.
without responsibilities. His two
employees, however, were not so
fortunate. They had followed
his advice eagerly, investing
everything, and they had lost.
That, police said, was why the
39-year-old dentist took gas.
They found he had bought stocks
on margin and that early sue
cesses had led him to urge his
young woman assistant and his
laboratory aide to put their small
savings out the same way. When
the house Of gold melted away
1t was a more severe loss to his
young helpers than to DR.. Tanner
himself.
Worrying for them, he killed
himself.

LaudS Action of Publishers
in Agreeing to Confer
With Paper Makers.

BY the Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., December
1l.-Premier Ferguson of Ontario eX-
pressed qualification yesterday over the
decision of the special meeting of the
American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation, held in New York Monday, to
protest the proposed increase in the
price of newSprint, to have the pub
fishers confer with the manufacturers,
and said it was not question for gov
eminent interference.
II am very glad Of the decision
reached by the publishers to appoint
a committee to confer with the manu-
facturers," said Premier Ferguson. Il
think that in all such disputes personal
contact and discussion finds a solution.
If the government of Ontario can lend
any assistance in the way of giving In
formation. supplying them with data
regarding the position of the province
and how we are affected, we will be
very glad to do so.
DiscIaims Price Fixing.
eve never have had any thought of
attempting to fix any price or suggest
a price for newSprint. Our sole interest
in price is confined to the fact that
we know the industry cannot prosper,
nor can the mills continue, unless a
reasonable price can be obtained for
their product.
with the overproduction that has
developed in the past couple OF years
and the establishment of a new low
price there at once began race for
business. The province is interested
in the development of the country, in
Guiding the employment of its people
and the sale of it's products. We're
interested in seeing that there should
be a proportionate distribution Of the
business on an equitable basis over all
the mills, and when the manufactures
got together to discuss the matter, both
provinces, Ontario and Quebec, in
dorSed their efforts.
"I am quite sure that If the pro-
posed conference is held and the COM
mittee inquiries fully into the situation
a satisfactory solution can be reached.
Rejects Interference.
at don't think il is a question Of
government interference. That would
only mean bitterness and strife. The
exercise of a little sanity and good
judgment by the parties themselves Is,
in my opinion, the proper solution"
The premier was emphatic in saying
that there was absolutely no anti-Amer-
lean feeling in that matter. He said
Ontario had three large paper concerns
and that their mills were all controlled
by Americans. He added that there
was never the slightest friction or trou-
BILE of any kind between operators and
the government. Everything Is per-
fectly satisfactory" he concluded.
