SHANGHAI, November 23.-A dis

After the Red occupation, the Soviet
soldiers stopped the mine pumps,
drowning the workers trapped within.
Upward of 700 other civilians also
were killed by Soviet bombs.
Refugees are pouring into Hailar,

Nationalist government troops appear
to have gained the upper hand in Ho-
nan Province fighting, the rebellious
Kuominchun troops being in retreat
westward along the Lunghai railroad
toward the Province of Shensi.
DEVELOPMENTS in the civil war in the
adjoining Central China province OF
Hupeh were uncertain, however as the
Nationalists strove to prevent the rebels
reaching the Yangtse River at Hankow.
Rebels Abandon LOyang.
Loyang, scene of hard fighting in
Honan Province, said dispatches, had
been abandoned by the Kuominchun
forces to the attacking Nationalists,
the rebels continuing their retreat. The
Kuominchun troops, it is believed, plan
to withdraw into Shensi Province be-
yond the Tungkwan rail head, where
the NationalistS are not expected to
pursue.
The rebels were reported to have cut
the Lunghai Railroad west OF Loyang,
seeking to retard the Nationalist pur-
suit. In Hupeh Province the situation
is less clearly defined. Hankow dis
patches stated that Nationalist forces
had begun to move westward from
Tsaoyang, seeking to sweep the Kuo-
minchun troops into ShenSi Province,
thus ending the latter's threat against
Hankow, Wuchang and Hanyang, tri-
cities on the Yangtse River. However,

YALE TURNED BACK
BY HARVARD, 1O-6;
BOOTH INEFFECTIVE
Crimson Wall Sweeps Eli Out
of Early Advantage in
Dramatic Rally.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

HARVARD STADIUM. CAMBRIDGE.
Mass, November 23.-With one of the
most dramatic strokes of the foot ball
season. Harvard converted the return
to the game of the celebrated A1bie
Booth to its own advantage today, and
beat Yale, 10 to 6, for the second year
In succession on a half-frosen battle
ground before a roaring crowd of $4,000
spectators.
Yale sent her little boy In blue in
the game early in the second period
to lead what looked like a triumphant
drive, but two swift breaks" a blocked
kick by Booth each time, enabled Har-
ward to counter attack and win the
game with brace of smashing, slash
ing scoring drives.
The Ellis were hammering toward the
Crimson goal early in the second quar-
ter when little Albie came on to the
field to shed his heavy wraps and at
tempt to drop-kick field goal from
the 25-yard line.
Blocked by Surging Line.
The ball scarcely had left his toe
before it was blocked by the surging
Crimson wall, bounding of the chest

From there the Crimson marched 90
yards to touchdown. scored by Full
back Wally Harper after a brilliant
advance featured by lateral pass,

verted into a 35-yard gain.
Shortly after the kickoff Booth,

was smothered. Again Douglas, the
ubiquitous Crimson end, was on top of
the mighty Atom to block and recover
the ball on Yale's 17-yard line. This
time the Blue braced and prevented a
touchdown. but Barry Wood, the sopho-
more Harvard quarterback, calmly drop
kicked the pigskin between the uprights
from the 15-yard line at q difficult
angle.
Two Minutes TO Play.
Fighting desperately to check the
Crimson rush, with less than two min
utes to play before the end of the half,
Yale's big captain, "Firpo" Greene,
broke through to block Woods punt,
giving Yale the ball on Harvard's 18-
yard line. Two passes thrown by Booth
failed, but on the third. after a 5-yard
penalty, the Eli ace tossed to 'Hoot''
Ellis, who took the ball on the 15-yard
line and fought his way across the goal
line for Yale's only score. Booths
drop-kick was not blocked, but it went
wide of the uprights.
Thus, all the scoring. most Of the
thrills and drama of this forty-eighth
battle between the Crimson and the
Blue, was confined to a second period
in which Yale's mightiest weapon was
turned against it.
Booth Sees Reversal.
Booth, whose inspiration to the Ell
attack had all year been in evidence
the moment he stepped on the field
had the strange experience OF seeing
his appearance signaliZe the victorious
Crimson drive. Until Booth entered the
game, Yale held what little edge was

JEANETTE, Pa, November 23.-Five
boys, ranging in age from to IL years,
drowned near here today when they
fell through thin ice on reservoir
while skating. The bodies were recover
ed several hours later.
The ice on the reservoir was said to
have been about an inch in thickness
and the lads had skated only Is feet
from the rim when the ice gave way
and plunged them into the cold water.
The boys, sons of miners, were: John
Chlaria, IL; Walter Lotisky, 10; Chester
Lancuski, 10; John GresS, 8, and
William Goblesky, IL. The accident
occurred at Edna No. mine of the
Hillman Coal & Coke Co.
Hundreds Watch Rescue Work.
Three hours labor by the parents,
brothers, sisters and friends of the
boys were required before all the bodies
had been recovered. Hundreds OF per-
sons from the Edna No. 2 settlement
and nearby villages gathered about the
reservoir as the rescue efforts proceeded.
Workmen engaged near the reservoir
heard the water splash as the boys
went through the ice. but when they
reached the scene only ripples and
broken ice indicated where the five had
gone down. These men spread an
alarm.
Went without Parents Consent.
The youthful skaters, anxious to test
the ice after two days Of slightly below
freezing weather, we're said to have
visited the reservoir without the consent

SHELBY AND KELLY
ARE EXPECTED TO
GET PUBLIC TRIALS
District Commissioners Are
Held Likely to Grant
Plea of Counsel.

The formal demands Of Inspector
William S. Shelby and Lieut. Edward

plete vindication of the July grand
jurys charges Of ineficiency which
grew out of the detective bureaus in-
vestigation Of the mysterious death Of
Mrs. Virginia Mcpherson probably will
be granted by the District Commission
ers, 1t was indicated yesterday after
noon at the District Building.
The demands were filed separately
with the Commissioners by George Z.
Strong and Henry I. Quinn, attorneys
for Shelby, and James A. O'Shea, coun-
sci for Kelly. Shelby's appeal was re-
ceived in the morning and Kelly's
came in the afternoon shortly before
the close of the District Building.
The letter written by Shelby's at
torneys was devoid of all criticism, but
O'Shea in his plea for public trial
for Kelly attacked the Commissioners
for removing the officer as head Of the
homicide squad without giving him an
opportunity to be heard in his own de-

created an impression that there might
have been some justification for the
grand iury's excoriation.
Demands Not Yet Studied.
Although the Commissioners have
not formally considered the demands

not do so until the semi-weekly board
meeting Tuesday, there is strong like

II the Commissioners grant the re-
quest, it was pointed out, an extraor-
binary trial board may have to be ap-
pointed to hear the charges against

quires that an officer be tried by a
