Albert Porges, Austrian employe OF
the American Express Co. and former
New Yorker, was shot and killed by
a Chinese guard who fired into Porges'
automobile. PorgeS was motoring with
young woman at the time. She said
the soldier fired without warning as
she and PorgeS passed group OF

Soldiers in Ugly Mood.
The soldiers were in an ugly mood,
she said. A complaint was made to
officials that they had threatened With
bayonets four other Austrians who
were walking in the vicinity, but finally
permitted them to pass.
The barge that exploded was taking
a load Of powder from Chinese pow
der mill situated on the banks of the
river almost opposite Shanghai to the
Kiangnan Arsenal, on the outskirts Of
the city. Several nearby buildings
were wrecked and an ocean-going
steamer anchored in the river had its
deck house blown away. The powder
was believed to have been ignited BY
sparks from towing tug.

Officials of the various nations rep

unconfirmed reports that the japanese
planned to take over the Chinese inter-
national wireless station on the OUT
skirts Of the city as part of their plan
OF occupation. The station operates
together with the station of the Radio
Corporation of America at San Fran
cisco and it was understood American
officials had notified the State Depart
ment at Washington about the reports,
although there was general diSposi-
ton to doubt that they were true.
Japanese consular and naval officials
reiterated their demands that the anti
Japanese societies be broken up. The
japanese Cotton Spinners' Association
added another threat. They said they
might be forced to close their IL mills
in the city If the Chinese boycott was
not ended. This would throw 10000
Chinese employees out of work.
Although Mayor WI Teh-Chen con-
tinued to decline to accept the Japanese
demands Internationally, the business
men urged the government to instruct
the mayor to accept and the belief
grew that the Chinese would give way.

! were forced to shiver in clammy cells
because the prison heating plants was
put out of commission during the fray.
The force of 100 extra police who
assisted in putting down the revolt,
arriving Just IN time, authorities said, to
prevent a break, stayed through the
night, watching with the regular guard
which was doubled or trebled at the
various posts.
Lack Of Sugar Cause.
The bloody day began over lack of
sugar in the breakfast porridge. The
prisoners claimed miStreatment which,
they said, reached its climax when
their cereal was furnished them un-
sweetened Long before dawn yesterday
the prison was in hubbub with the
prisoners beating on the doors OF their
cells and walls in protest.
Guards released them into the court
yard for exercise before chapel services
and the fight began Led by one

took refuge in cell block occupied by
prisoners who had not joined the riot.

drew their clubs and charged, While the
guards kept up a Sntping fire along the
walls, bringing down every man VINO

Fire engines came from Plymouth to
put out the blaze and they continued
pouring water on the Smoldering ruins
through the night, long after the blaze
was extinguished, to prevent its revival
, from slumbering sparks.
Col. Turner government commission
er, who was at Dartmoor to make an
| investigation of rumors of unrest, was
attacked by three conviets and rescued
by loyal long-termer who rushed to
his assistance.
Twenty of the prisoners injured in
the revolt were still in the hospital to-
day.
Most of the people on the isolated
farms IN the drab country did not go to
bed because of a fear that some of the
convicts might have escaped during the
melee.
Col. D. G. Turner, deputy prison
commissioner had been kicked to the
ground by the rebels when O'DonoVan

WARbURG'S DEATH
WIDELY MOURNED
Banker Who Predicted
Stock Crash SuccumbS in
New York at 64.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 25.-Paul Mo-
ritz Warburg, descended of a banking
dynasty Graded in Germany in the
eighteenth century and himself one of
the foremost banking authorities In
America, is dead in his 65th year.
His death last night was the third Of
a year among powerful figures Of
finance. George F. Baker died last
Spring and Dwight Morrow, distin-
guished in the affairs of J. P. Morgan
& Co. as we'll as in statecraft, died in
October.
Warburg, who is especially remem-
beTed as the prophet who warned
against the Wall Street crash of 1929
six months before it took place was
chairman of the board Of the Manhat-
tan Co. and the International Accept
ance Bank of New York. He had been
a member of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb
g. Co. and his widow was the daughter
o: the late Solomon Loeb of the Kuhn
Loeb firm.

She survives, with two children, James
M Warburg president Of the Interna-
tional Acceptance Bank of New York,
and Miss Bettina WarhUrg, as well as a
brother, Felix M. Warburg.
Mr.. Warburg had been Ill since early
last month, his original ailment being
a paralytic stroke. Ten days ago hy-
poStatic pneumonia developed and his
general health was not good enough to
throw off the disease. Doctors notified
the family early yesterday that it was
unlikely he would live more than a few
hours. Death occurred at $50 o'clock
yesterday evening.
During the World War and after
the Warburg fanny played o. promi-
nent part in finances on two sides OF
the Atlantic, Paul Warburg becoming
member of the Federal Reserve
Board in the United States, while
another member of the Warburg FAM
lily, Max, was leading figure in
finance in Germany.
Warned Of Crash.
Six months before the 1929 stock
market collapse Paul Warburg said in
one of his few public statements:
IF a Stock Exchange debauch is
quickly arrested by prompt and de-
termined actions, it is not too much

stock prices may be brought about
without seriously affecting the wider
circle of general business. If orgies
of unrestrained speculation are per-
mitted TO spread too far, however, the
ultimate collapse is certain not only
to affect the SPECTATORS themselves,
but also to bring about general de-
preston involving the whole country
Funeral arrangements had not been
completed today, but relatives said the
services would be private. Hundreds
Of messages of coincidence from prom
inent persons throughout the country
continued to arrive at the Warburg
home today.

action ending what he called Japanese
military aggression on Chinese soil.

New Threats Pointed Out.
Japan is now invading the PROV
ince of Jehol and endangering the
cities Of North. Central and even South
China, as witness the latest threats to
occupy Foochow and Shanghai" said
DR.. Yen. These points are far away
from the borders of what has hitherto
been known as Manchuria."
History offers few parallels to such
cynical defiance of treaty obligations,
the given word and world opinion"
The situation is rapidly approaching,
If 1t has not already reached, a point
where broken promises and specious
excuses cease to have any virtue" he
said, and something more than con-
ciliatory functions" must now be un-
dertaken by the League.
