Japanese Meet
 With Resistance
(Continued from Page 1)
Pingchuan, westward of Lingyuan and only 35 miles from the capital.
By FREDERICK WHIPPING Limited Press Staff Correspondent

Talichiatung, With the Japanese Army, Jehol, March 3-UP)-The Japanese army was menaced today by counter attacks on it's tenuous
 positions along the main roads to | Chengtefu.
 The main advance upon the capi- tai of Jehol was halted temporarily
 while the army's present position
 was consolidated and supplies were
 brought up to the front.
 A counter-attack on Chihfeng
 failed, according to the high com-
 mand, and Japanese were stem
 ming a determined counter-assault
 on the city of Lingyuan, half way between Chaoyang and Chengtehfu. The defense of Lingyuan found | the Japanese in more serious sit | uation than two days ago, when they were the assailants. The bomb- | ing planes, used effectively in drlv-
 ing the city's inhabitants from the
 territory, were useless against re- turning hordes of Chinese footsol-
 diers, engaging in irregular war
 fare.
 The retreat of the Chinese ap- | parently was halted, and wither-
 ing fire was directed across, all
 highways in the sector.
 Tokio, March 3-(UP)-Japan-
 csc troops, driving against Cheng-
 tefu, capital of Jehol province, en- tered the town of Pingchuan, 35
 miles east of their goal, at 12:30 D. m., it was announced here to-day Japanese commanders reported
 to the war office that they expected | to reach Chengtehfu by Saturday. Previous messages had predicted l success by March 10 for the six
 Japanese armies now converging on the Jehol capital. The report from
 Pingchuan indicated that the at | tackers were far ahead of their
 schedule and that the Chinese de- lenses had fallen more rapidly than had been expected.
 An immediate attack on the last
 Chinese defenses before Chungteh- | flu was expected, according to dis
 patches from Chinchow.
 The Jehol capital was reported in confusion, with Governor Tang Yu-
 Lin and other high officials prepar- | ing to evacuate.
 Peiping, March 3-(UP)-Heavy | fighting eastward of Lingyuan yes- | terday cost the lives of three Chin csc regimental commanders and r. 500 regulars, Chinese military
 headquarters announced to-day. The Chinese, denying reports of | the easy surrender of the strategic
 cities of Chihfeng and Lingyuan, declared both were retained. The defense of Chihfeng, the an-
 nouncement said, was entrusted to
 Gen Shin Wen-Hua, who opened fire on the Japanese vanguard. The
 battle was continuing and Gen Sun
 Tien-Ying, whose loyalty has now been affirmed, was sending rein | forcementS.
 Shanghai, March 2 - (UP)-
 Evacuation of Chengtehfu, capital | of Jehol, province, by the Chinese
 was reported in private coded mes- sages reaching here to-day. The reports lacked confirmation

 with 85 others damaged.
 More than 2,O00 homes in the province of Iwate were washed away. A total of 4,000 houses were reported demolished throughout the island.
 The cities of Tokio and Yoko- | homa were shaken violently, and great crowds, fearing a repetition of the great earthquake of 1928, swarmed through the streets in hysterical excitement.
 Electric lights failed in Yoko- hama, but little damage was re- ported. The modern industrial cities of Kobe and Osaka escaped serious damage. One of the hardest hit towns was Kamaishi, 300 miles northeast of Tokio, in the Iwate prefecture. More than 1000 of the flmsy, bamboo and paper constructed houses were swept away there by the tidal wave, and 5000 more were destroyed by fire that broke i out to complete the destruction, according to police reports.
 The tidal wave also engulfed
 the town of Ninanogoway in the
 Miyagi prefecture, where 1,246
 houses were reported under water.
 The first police reports from this
 town told of 8 loss of life amount ing to IF dead and 31 missing.
 All telegraph and telephone
 lines north of Sendai, Come-i and
 Hakodate were down, and officials
 of the Japanese home office said
 this morning that at least 500
 houses had been destroyed in those towns, either by the earthquake
 or tidal wave, or in the destruc- tive fire that followed.
 Joseph Clerk Grew, American ambassador to Tokio, was visiting at Myanoshita, north of Tokio,
 with his family. The effects of the earthquake were slight in that Vl- cinity.
 Serious damage to shipping was reported. The tidal wave swept away boats at tho port of Miyako. and scores of fishing boats were sunk at Fukishima.
 At noon to-day it was an- nounced officially that 3S0 persons were missing in the Iwate prefec- ture and that 1862 houses had
 been destroyed there. An official announcement issued at Marioka placed the Iwate pre- lecture death toll at 300, with 2,600 buildings completely de- stroyed, including some which
 were burned. Thirty-five houses were de- stroyed in the town of Hitaka,
 Hokkaido prefecture, where IS persons were reported killed by the tidal wave.
 Cavalry and engineers were sent to the stricken districts. Manila, P. T., March 3-(UP) An earthquake was felt here at 1O:19 a. m. to-day, the shock be- ing severe enough to shake steel reinforced concrete buildings per- ceptibly. The tremblor was felt at
 Beguio, on the northern extrem- ity of Luzon island. No damage
 was reported.

The $40,00O in receipts com pares favorably with last years collections and this is considered an excellent showing in relation to the economic stress.
 The personal tax bill stated that the payments were due within 30 days for the first day of February which made payments acceptable up to and including March 2. The statutes specifically state, however, that a penalty of one dollar is to be affixed against all unpaid bills after the expiration of the 30 days period.

AS Washingtonians turned to

age of torrential rains and
wind, historians recalled that 119
years ago, a similar storm was
natures method of preserving
two of the finest buildings of
the Capital.
On August "a, 1914, 1000
British troops under General
Ross and Admiral Cockburn,
after mild skirmish with
American recruits, marched into
Washington from Bladensburg.
On their arrival here. they
fired the Capitol and White
House as well as other public
buildings.
When the flames were at
their height, a severe storm
broke, British troops were in
jured by falling trees and de-
bris from wind-damaged houses
and the flames of the Capitol
and the White House were ex-
tinguished.
The storm, exactly 119 years
ago was a means of preservation
rather than of destruction in

TRANSIENT AID.
PLEA DELAYED

The Board of Public Welfare,
which last week decided to ask
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration for 100000 for relief
of Washington's forgotten men,"
has failed to submit its request,
Federal relief officials said today.
Morris Lewis, whose duty is to
examine such requests before they
are laid before Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins, said the relief
office has seen nothing of a re-
quest for transient relief funds.
The Administration is under
stood to look favorably on giving
the District suitable sum for
transient relief work here, but it
can take no action until a formal
request is received from the Dis

Three miles off the coast Of
Chesapeake Bay there is q

Usually they leave the island
where they have their club at
their own convenience in a
small boat.
Their plans were upset by the
storm, however, the other night,
and former Senator Harry
HaWes of Missouri and others
were forced to call for aid as
their small craft could not navi.

In the early hours Of the
morning a large boat came to
their rescue and they were
taken off the island.
It took them three hours, how.
ever, to negotiate the usual 40
minute passage.

MANAGER OF
BAER FILES
DAMAGE SUIT

SACRAMENTO, June 8. U.P) -
Ancil Hoffman, manager of Max
Baer, had on file in superior court
here a suit demanding return of
$4,000 he paid for Baer's contract
in 1890.
The suit was filed as a cross
complains ITO an action brought
against Hoffman by Wilbur S.
Pierce, Oakland attorney and as
signee of j. Hamilton Lorimer,
Baer's former manager. Pierce is
suing to recover S27,632 which he
claims is due Lorimer from Hoff-
man.
Hoffman states in his cross-com-
plant that on October 6. 1890, he
entered into a tfree-way agree
ment with Lorinner and Baer in
which he was to pay $40, 900 to Lor-
inner for a half interest in Baer's
five year contract. By November II,
1892, he had paid $4,000 on ac-
count, he said.
Prior to that time, however, the
trCss-eomplaiG,t charges, Lorimnr
had welded the contract by arrang-
ing matches and exhibitions for
Baer without Hoffman's consent,
and because Of this the latter de-
mands return Of the $4,000.

Maps Do Not ShoU
Road Into alley

Strong protests from different
points in the valley have been dl-
rected against the action of
Phoenix hotel in circulating riaps
which seem to imply that the only
road to be followed from that city
70 Los Angeles is the highway
through Blythe, according to the
chamber OF commerce, which has
one of the maps.
The map shows a road running
from Phoenix 20 Yuma but does
not give any indication to motor
lists that such road goes on past
Yuma to Los Angeles, nor that this
is the best road and is preferred
by a majority Of drivers who are
enroute to Los Angeles.
It is felt that this effort to CEN
ter on the Blythe highway tends
to discourage travel by way of Yu-
ma and Imperial Valley TO the det-
riment of those point which in that
way would not receive their fair
share OF this traffic.
