at the reunion helped themselves to the
food which had been placed on a table.

sandwiches were when the sandwiches
we're made, or when the family left

for its use in such containers.
Twenty-seven persons attended the
reunion.
Mrs. Simmons denied having placed
any drug or poison in the sandwiches.

the sandwiches was the pressed chick
en- which she had prepared.

ents of the sandwiches were sent to

HONGKONG, June % (P).-The first
sign of internal trouble appeared in the
new Canton government today with the
resignation of Gen. HSu Shung- Chi,
veteran Southern military leader, from
the Canton Military Council.
Observers said Hsu quit because he
was dissatisfied with the distribution of
all remunerative civil posts to the fol-
lowers of Koo Ying-Fan. The Canton
leaders apparently were not disturbed
by the resignation.
Gen. Chan Chai-Tong, head of the

the government really was in the hands

Boat Speed
Test Fails
Gar Wood Misses Kaye
Don'S Record by One
Mile an Hour.

By United Press
MIAMI BEACH, Fla, April 16.--
In two assaults on the world motor
boat speed record OF 10S.4s, set in
Argentina recently by Kaye Don,
Gar Wood of Detroit today failed
to- wrest the honor from the Briton.
After the two runs, Wood said
he would try for the record again
today. He drove his Miss America
TX south over Indian Creek at a
speed of 1928 miles per hour, and
north at 1928 miles per hour. The
average speed of his two attempts
was 1924, more than a mile per
hour short of the performance of
Miss England.
There was gentle westerly wind
blowing across the course today,
despite which Wood determined to
delay his attempt no longer. He
had vainly been seeking ideal
weather conditions since last Sat
urday.
The big boat was under perfect
control in both runs, but Wood said
it was necessary to use considerable
rudder to counteract the cross
course wind which blew alta speed
of about eight miles an hour.
