Jerusalem, Aug. 27 P)-Violent demonstrations by Arabs and Jews today followed the arrival of Jew ish delegation from Gaza in the Holy City. British authorities were forced to evacuate many Jews from their homes and concentrate them in heavily guarded hotels.

Situation Easier in Jerusalem But Still Grave in Northern
 Palestine
500 ARMED VOLUNTEERS
 HELP MAINTAIN ORDER
British Ships and Men Reach Scene of Arab-Jcwish Riotins-Chris- tians Mark Doors With Blue Crosscs-More Names of Ameri- can Dead Announced - Moslem World Watches Uprising.

By the Associated Press.
 With more than 100 Jews and probably as many Arabs killed in four days of fighting over obsarv- ance of religious rites at the vail ing wall in Jerusalem, the situation in Palestine today was less threat ening in the south and the Jeru- salem area, but gravely troubled in the north.
 Six hundred armed British volun- teers who patrolled the streets Of Jerusalem night and day, brought an easier situation there, but hun dreds of Jews were in hiding and Christian families marked their doors with a blue cross to indicate neither Moslems nor Jews dwelt within.
 .Uncensored messages of the Jew ish Telegraphis Agency to Cairo, however, reported serious condi- tions throughout the Holy Lands.
 Vaad Hair Jewish communal board at Jerusalem, estimated Jew ish dead to number between 120 and 150.
 Fifteen American Jewish students were among the dead. British of fcial sources said the American government had made inquiries of the British foreign office as to pres ent conditions in Palestine. The Washington inquiry was said not to have been a formal note. Food Shortage
 Considerable footing was reported all over Palestine. There was n general scarcity of medical supplies and food, the prices for food in Jerusalem having reached almost famine level. A refugee fund was started by the Jewish communal board. ...- .....-.....
 British censorship held up press dispatches, but there were few leaks by way of Cairo.
 Five British warships. including the aircraft carrier Courageous, were anchored off the port of Jaffa and disembarked landing parties. Four battalions of troops, armored cars artillery and many airplanas mounted guard ashore and in the air.
 Government Criticized
 The Polish consul at Jerusalem acting dean of the consular corps, asked the acting British high com missioner for protection for for eigners and employees of foreign consulates, against consequences of the Arab Jewish hostilitieS.
 Both Arabs and Jews criticized the British government for it's way of handling the situation.
 In England itself newspapers of all shades of opinion united to at tack the "burdens of the British mandate in Palestine"
 The Islamic world was reported to be following the progress of the Palestine troubles with the closest attention. Some British circles fear ed repercussion of England's diff culties in other Moslem sections of the empire.

UP 90 HOURS

Chicago, Aug. 27 P}-The "Chica- go-We Will" endurance plane out to beat the 17R day record of the "St. Louis Robin," was still circling the Sky Harbor airport early to- 6ay with no indications that a de- scent was contemplated. The plane had been up 90 hours at 5;3O a. m., Chicago daylight time.

which Dr. Hugo Eckener, com
 mander, had set on his course.
 Los Angeles, Aug. 27 R-The globe circling dirigible Graf Zep- pelin came within a few feet of en- countering potentially serious trou- ble but escaped with only slight damage here early today as it's tail scraped a high tension electric linz shortly after the takeoff for Lake, hurst. N. J.. on the last lap of it's round the world flight.
 The big ship, containing thous- ands of cubic feet of hydrogen, highly inflammable gas. scraped the electric line as it fought to gain aI- titude immediately after the takeoff at Municipal airport at 12:14 a. IT. Pacific coast time.
 First word of the accident reached ! here about two hours later when | the~Radio Corporation of America i intercepted a message from the air liner saying the damage had been slight and that it would not inter- fern with the trip.
 This was the second accident of | the Graf Zeppelins world flight. While being taken out of a hangar at Kasumigaura. Japan, for the transpacific flight, a downward movement of the stern caused rear gondola to strike the ground, two gondola struts were broken, causing a delay of several hours.
 Canned Food Dumped Field workers here realized al- most immediately that the dirigible was having trouble in gaining alti- tude. As the ship scared over the edge of the field large quantity of canned food was hastily dumped overheard to tighten the load.
 Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the airship, anticipated the problem of gaining altitude before the ship started and took only 52 persons aboard for the transcontinental trip. On the flight across the Pacific the liner carried 60 persons.
 Difficulty in gaining altitude was believed to have led Dr. Eckener to alter the first part of his course to .akehurst. Instead of heading southeastward to go through the Southern California mountains at San Gorgonio Pass he directed his ship straight toward the south. To have gone through San Gorgonio Pass the air liner would have to at tain height of some 5000 feet.
 High Altitude Necessary
 The necessity of climbing to such an altitude was obvlated by taking course along the Mexican border. l Two hours after the takeoff the ship reached point near the internation- al line at Sen Diego and headed east.
 When sighted at Yuma, Ariz., at 4:43 a. m., Pacific time, it apparent ly had increased it's speed to 100

"Red" Devereaux' Ma- chine Cracks up When Aileron Rods Fall Of Bride of Three Months Prob a b ly Fatally Injured.
Five Air Derbies Push on to Cleveland, Undeter- red by Second Fatal Ac- cident Marring Program Two Due to Arrive To- day.

Boston, Aug. 27 LR - Red" Devereaux and his mechanic were killed and Devereaux's wife was probably fatally injured when the Philadelphia-Cleveland derby plane. believed to be piloted by Devereaux crashed upon it's arrival at the Bos- ton airport. The plane was the sec ond of the derby to reach here.
 Spectators saw the aileron rods fall off Devereaux's plane as it swung over the airport at an altitude of 800 feet. It appeared to witnesses that the plane sideslipped as it was banked for a landing.
 The wings of DevereauX's Cessna monopane were Tapping and mak- ing an unusual noise when he ar rived at the airport. This attracted attention to the plane before it reached the airport. Attaches of the army base, across the bay, saw fragments of the plane fall. Some Of these narrowly missed striking Captain Archie Campbell, in charge of the airport police.
 Devereaux apparently realizod something was amiss with the ma- chine, for after reaching the airport he tried for greater altitude. It was then that the machine became un- controllable and slipped down to crash on its right wing on a mud fat between the airport and Wood Island park.
 Devereaux and Herma, his bride of three months. were removed from the wreckage, which rested in two feet of water, by seaplane.
 The pilot was beyond medical at tention, but his wife was rushed in an army ambulance to the East Boston relief hospital. There her name was placed on the danger list. She was said to be suffering from multiple cuts, loss of blood and probable internal injuries. Reiss, the mechanic, was dead when taken from the wrecked plane.
 The plane piloted by Joseph L. McGrady was the first of the derby contestants to reach here, arriving few minutes after II a. m. His plane also appeared to sideslip as it was banked for a turn over the field and spectators feared a crash was impending.
 McGrady reached the airport all most three quarters of an hour be- fore the derby planes were expected.

.CHANG INSTRUCTED
 ID SUGGEST TERMS
China Reported Ready to Seek
 Cancellation With Russia
SUFFERS HEAVY LOSSES
Railroad Tie-Up Costly, No Foreign
 Mediation LiIcIy-China Expected
 to Meet Soviets Half Way in Ne- gotiations.

Shanghai, Aug. 27 (UP)-Nan- king government authorities have instructed General Chang Hsueh- Liang, dictator of Manchuria, to suggest new terms to the soviet union as a basis for a conference to negotiate peaceful settlement of the Chinese Eastern railway dispute, it was reported here today.
 It was understood that the dWindling prospects of foreign mediation, coupled with the heavy losses suffered by the Chinese gov crnment as a result of the current railway tie-up, has convinced the Ranking government of the advisa bility of assuming a more concilia- tory attitude toward Russia.
 Various sources said today that the Ranking government had in structed General Chang to meet the soviets half way in their demand that the Chinese Eastern be re- stored to an immediate status quo ante" as one of the conditions making a conference possible. The conditions forwarded to General Chang by the central government included partial rest oration of the status quo and the immediate re- instatement of the soviet govern mental chiefs who were busted when the Chinese government or. dered the seizure of the road som: two months ago.
 War Proving Costly Political experts here reasoned that one of the principal causes 0 the alleged action of the govern ment in adopting conciliatory ac. tion toward Russia was the huge ex- pense towhich Nanking has been put in mobilizing it's huge military forces and their transfer and concentra tion along the Manchurian-S Siberian borders.
 The demands which are now be, ing partially met, according tc these reports, were what the Rus sians had made some time ago The soviets had been anxious for q conference, but would agree to i, only on condition, first, that China restore the road to it's original sta tus, second, that the officials who mad been busted by tho Nankine government be reinstated to their posts, and, third, that China admit it had broken the Mukden agree. ment by making the seizure.
 Spies Reported Executed
 Meanwhile reports from Man chuli today said four more soviet spies had been executed for cutting telegraph lines and that the cur. rent campaign against spies was continuing throughout Manchuria.
 It also was said the Chimes, front along the Manchurian border was stiffening as a result of the incorporation of several czaris Russian regiments and the arriva of additional endorsements from Mukden.
 Dispatches from Harbin said so- viet agents were responsible for starting an anti-Chiang Kai-SheE movement in Manchuria and that they were assisted by friends oi Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang, powerful Chinese war lord, in an attempt tc oust Chiang from Manchuria ant tn b- district.
 It was understood also that SC cret conversations were proceeding between Chinese and Russian dip lomats in Berlin with a view tc hastening conference for a set clement of the war-charged Man. churian question.

POWERS RECONVENE
 TO SEEK AGREEMENT
Hope to Avoid Breakdown of Preparations Con-
 ference

The Hague, Aug. 27 P}-Repre- sentatives of the six chief powers at the Hague separations conference met here this evening to consider the threatened breakdown of the sessions.
 The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 2T. -(P)-The separations conference to put the Young plan into effect which held it's first session just three weeks ago, today seemed heading rapidly for adjournment without an agree ment having been reached.
 Premier Briand of France this morning sent a letter to Premier Jaspar of Belgium suggesting a meeting of the six powers who called the conference to clear up the en- tire situation.
 T believe the only reasonable solution is to convoke a meeting of the six inviting powers in order to end the situation which now appears to be without prospect Of success" " said the French premier.
 Philip Snowden, British chancell Tor of the eXchequer who yesterday declared inadequate the latest offer of the other four creditor powers, on being informed of M. Briand's sug- gestion proposed that the meeting be held at 3:30 p. m. but eventually agreed to p. m.. when the delegates of the six powers vii meet and the fate of the conference presumably will be settled.
 It is regarded as likely that a plenary session of the conference will
