Madam Sun Yat Sen, wife of the deposed president of south China, who arrived here today from Canton, described in an inter view with the Associated Press her husband's flight and her. last stand in the presidential palace with a body guard of 50 soldiers against Chan Chiung Ming's troopers. Madam Sun declared that a scant 500 men under her husband's com mand were opposed to an army of 25,000 led by Chen Chiung-Ming and that the bodyguard of 60 soldiers left with her in the presidential palace when her husband, after her repeated urgings, took reluga in flight, was killed to a man. Wife Is Told to Flee, The wife of the fallen southern leader said she was awakened at 2 o'clock in the morning, June 16, by her husband, who told her that she must flee. He informed her he had been warned by telephone that Gen eral Chen's troops were looting the city with cries of "kill the presi dent," and that they were planning to attack his residence. Madam Sun ' insisted that she would be safe in the presidential palace and, finally Dr. Sun agreed to leave her in the care of a heavily armed bodyguard of 50 of his re tainers. Half an hour after Sun had de parted the volleys from Chen's sol diers began pouring into the pal ace from the hillsides surround ing It. Palace Guards Reply. The palace guards replied, volley for volley, the staff of servants of the official residence aiding them. Many of the defenders fell, but the remainder continued the unequal battle even after portions of the palace had been destroyed over their heads by shells from a mountain gun, which Chen's men had posted on a nearby hillside. The remnant of the bodyguard stuck to their rifles until 8 o'clock in the morning when their ammuni tion gave out. At this juncture Colonel George Bow, aide to Sun Yat Sen, made his way to the nalace from the Dresi- aenis omce a uura or a mue away. He traversed a narrow footbridge under heavy fire and when he found Madam Sun he urged her to take Instant flight. Hail of Ballets Met. With Colonel Bow and two mem bers of her decimated bodyguard Madam Sun crossed the footbridge on her hands and knees while a hail of bullets from the rifles of Chen's troops poured about the little party and tore away sections of the flimsy bridge. Once across the bridge they clam bered over roofs in their dash for the protection of the presidential of fices. Colonel Bow dropped with bullets in both legs and Madam Sun and her two Chinese guards dragged him the remainder of the way into the offices and barricaded the place as best they could. There they re mained until 4 o'clock in the after noon while their assailants kept up continuous volleying at their refuge. Finally Chen's troops who had looted the treasury and the customs offices, forced the gates of the com pound of the office. As the horde rushed into the inclosure the presi dent's wife crushed an old straw hat down on her head, buttoned a raincoat about her and slipped into the street with her two faithful guards; Lanes Strewn With Corpses. Through crooked streets and nar row lanes strewn with corpses the trio fled, at times forced to throw themselves on the ground with the dead to escape the torrents of lead raking the city and to escape menac ing bands of soldiery sacking the shops. . Once clear of Canton, they hid in a farm house for the rest of the night and in the morning Madam ouii, uiaButauu aa a uuunLry woman with a basket of vegetables on her arm, accompanied by one guard in the stained blouse of a laborer, suc ceeded in winning the safety of a friend's home. There they remained the second night, listening to the cruisers of Sun's navy hurling shells into the city, the explosions telling the fugi tive that her husband still had loyal forces to pitt against the Kwang tung levies of Chen Chiung.Ming. Disguise Again Assumed. Even in the home of a friend, Madam Sun was not safe and when Chen's troops appeared in the neigh borhood of this retreat, she again assumed the disguise of a rnnnt. woman and made her way to the . water front. There she succeeded in engaging a sampan which carried - her to fahameen, the foreign settle , ment on an island near Canton.

While union heads expressed the '. hope that the railroad heads might listen to their last-minute truce proposal, the suppressed excitement , and tonus atmosphere around union 1 headquarters seemed to portend 6ome momentous action. Blame for the entire strike situa tion was placed squarely on the shoulders of the railway executives . by President Jewell's telegram. He declared that the passage of the transportation act had resulted in a series of controversies between the roads and their employes which had developed a situation wheredn near ly 1,000,000 men, or two-thirds of those in railroad employ today, are taking a strike vote. Besides the shopmen, the main- tenance of way laborers, firemen and oilers, and part of the clerks ' and signal men are balloting on the strike question.

RESOLUTION IS OFFERED Decision on Reduction of Pay Would Be Rescinded. ' WASHINGTON, D. C, June 27. A joint resolution which would au thorize the railroad labor board to rescind its decision reducing the wages of railroad employes effec tive July 1 was introduced in the house today by Representative Burke, republican, Pennsylvania, a member of the Order of Railroad Conductors of the Baltimore & Ohio system. The Burke resolution embodied a declaration that "the decision of the board savors' so much of one-sided justice and has caused such dissatis faction and discontent that a strike seems both imminent and inevita ble." It also asserted that "the standard of living cannot be maintained upon a minimum wage proposed by the board of 23 cents an hour, or $1.84 a day." Declaring that the reduction in wages proposed would affect 1,500, 000 workers, the resolution asserted that the wages fixed by the board would institute "a Chinese standard of labor" which would be repugnant to the American people, who De- lieve in just wages and decent work ing conditions.

A short time after setting up they got J. B. Weed's voice announcing the first number. This came in very strong- and with giood modulation, loud enough to be attached to a horn. Later they cut off the copper wire antenna and drove an eight-penny nail into the trunk of the tree about five feet from the ground and con nected a wire to the nail and the set. By turning the tuning con denser just a couple of points they were astonished to hear the concert coming in louder and more clearly than with the copper wire antenna.

MOUNT HOOD HEARS MUSIC Radio Receiving Apparatus Set Up at Government Camp. Patrons of the Government Camp hotel, at the foot of Mount Hood and 56 miles from Portland, have been entertained with The Orego nian radio concerts during the last few days, according to L. F. Pridey more, manager of the hotel, who was in Portland yesterday. A high-power receiving set and magnavox, installed in the hotel lobby a short time ago, bring in The Oregonian concerts with such extreme clearness that they are heard easily several hundred feet away and outside of the hotel build ing, declared Mr. Pridemore.

I It's Not a Movie It's Not an Auto xflferl III ' WASHINGTON, D. C, June 27. Forty American employes of the Cortez Oil company near Tampico and property valued at a quarter of a million dollars are being held by a rebel general until ransom of 15,000 pesos is paid, according to a mes sage from the American consul at Tampico to the state department. The dispatch was dated yester day and said that the "rebel Gen eral Gorozahe" had seized the com pany's property and Was holding it with 240 well-armed men. Prompt Instructions were sent by the state department to the embassy in Hex ico city and to the consul at Tam pico to urge the Mexican authori ties to take immediate action for the protection of American lives and property. Lacking further information as to what has happened behind what is apparently a rigid censorship at Tampico, however, there was little to indicate tonight whether the Inci dent would lead- to any change of attitude here toward the Obregon government in Mexico. 'Effect la Considered. In fact, at the White House it was said that relations between the United States and Mexico were not likely to be affected in any way by the bandit outbreak and the recent kidnaping for ransom near Cuerna- vaca of Bruce Bielaski, formerly chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of Justice. Until It is known that the inci dents are not a matter of domestic politics in Mexico, conceived by ene mies of the Obregon government to embarrass its relations with the United States, or until that govern ment had been proved unequal to according s'uch protection to Ameri cans and their property as the oc casion demands, there appears to be no disposition here to move in any other than a diplomatic way. . Time Limit Is Up. The consul reported that the rebel general had biven 48 hours from Sunday morning, when the raid oc curred, for payment as demanded. The time limit elapsed this morn ing. It was expected that further word would come at any moment, showing what finally had occurred. There were indications that state department officials were not exact ly sure just what sort of a situation they had to meet. At least, so far as known, the state department had not tonight reported the Cortez company inci dent to either army or navy offi cials, or inquired as to the availa bility of navy ships to send to the scene. There is no American war ship now in waters adjacent to Tam pico, the Galveston being at Guanta namo, Cuba, and Rear Admiral Coles, with three ships of his spe cial service squadron, in canal zone waters. STARVING H0RSE SAVED Animal Tied to Tree lor Week Without Food or Water. Tied to a tree in the woods south o Powell valley road near Buckley avenue for more than a week with out food and water, a large dark bay horse was rescued from near death yesterday by A, L. Cross, deputy humane officer. The owner of the horse, who was the possessor of peddler's license second quarter, class 2, No. 44, is now being sought.

EVEN though the roof lias already begun to leak, Carey Fibre Coating will frequently make it sound and whole again and add years to it useful service. . It is applied like paint but it is more than paint. Preservative oil penetrates the old material and gives it new life; asbestos fibre and heavier oils fill the pores and small holes and seal them against moisture. The fibre coating contains roofing material. It adds a new layer of real roofing to the old roof. It increases the life of a roof by at least a fifth. And it costs no more than an eighth of the prjee of a new roof. So it pays well. Fibre Coating can be used on wood, metal, composi tion, and gravel roofs; on flat, sloping or upright surfaces.
