Deposed President's Troops
Reported in Retreat.
LOSSES DECLARED HEAVY
Former South China Executive
Still Confident He Will Be
Re-established Shortly.
CANTON, July 20 (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Sun Yat-Sen's forces
In northern Kwangtung, on whom
ttie deposed president of south
China has been pinning his hope of
regaining power, have been de
feated and are in retreat, pursued'
by the troops of Chen Chiung-Ming,
who overthrew Sun, according to
advices received here today from
Shiuchow.
The report of Sun's defeat -came
from General Teh Chu, commanding
Chen's troops in northern Kwang
tung. Yeh Chu said he had engaged
the deposed president's northern
army around Shiuchow and had
driven it back 20 miles,' capturing
three guns and a large quantity
of material.
He reported that several hundred
of Sun's troopers had been killed
and that the Chen forces were in
pursuit of the remainder.
Sun Yat-Sen's forces in northern
Kwangtung are short of ammuni
tion, according to advices received
here from sources at Shiuchow
friendly to Chen Chiung-Ming;, Sun's
opponent in the struggle for control
of Canton.
LoHMes Reported Heavy.
Reports from the same quarter
also say the losses in the last three
days' fighting around Shiuchow
have aggregated more than 200,
with the heavier casualties in Sun
ranks.
Chen Chiung-Ming is rushing re
inforcements to the Shiuchow front
daily along the railroad line from
Canton to Shiuchow, which he con
trols. It has been rumored that
Chen himself has left his headquar
ters at Waichow, 50 miles from Can
ton, and proceeded to Shiuchow,
but this has not been confirmed.
Despite his repeated reverses, the
defection of several of his ships
and the reported defeat on the Shiu
chow front, Sun Yat-Sen declared
today that within a week he would
be re-established in the presidency
of South China. He refused, how
ever, to disclose his plans.
Hundreds of wounded soldiers
are arriving in Canton from the
north.
Commander Baum of the United
States destroyer Tracy today pro
tested to Sun Yat-Sen against the
mooring of Sun's flagship, Wlng
f ung, near the Tracy.
Destroyer Held Menaced. .
Commander Baum pointed out
that, mines intended for the Wing
fung, launched by Sun's enemies,
might endanger the Tracy, The
protest followed yesterday's at
tempt to sink the Wingfung with
a floating mine, believed to have
been dropped from a passing sam
pan. The mine exploded premature
ly within 50 feet of the American
destroyer, shaking her up but caus
ing no damage.
As a result of Commander Baum's
protest, it is expected that Sun will
take the Winsrfung to another an
chorage. ,
Another protest over mines in the
river was presented today by the
foreign consuls to Yip Kue, com
mander of the forces in Canton op
posing Sun Yat-Sen. The consuls
objected to Yip Kue mining the
harbor waters in his endeavors to
damage Sun's warships.

matrimonial engagements when she
returned with him to her mother's

a title company and met Schrader,
a clerk in the county clerk's office
here, in the- course of her work.

FINANCIER IS BANKRUPT

In such shape that he found it neces
sary for his protection to' place his
assets in the hands of trustees. It
was officially declared at the time
that Ryan's affairs "had been satis
factorily settled, and that Ryan
would continue to exercise control
of his property."
His liabilities then were- esti
mated at $16,000,000 and it was
stated that a careful conversion of
his assets would permit him to
"break even."
The largest creditor is the Guar
anty Trust company of New Tork,
with an Individual account of $8,
822,555 and another account of $13,
543,608, representing securities
owned by Ryan, pledged 'by him to

MISTING GOLD I?f OLD VIRGINIA IX 1922.
Gold, real honest to goodness, glittering gold Is being mined by a placer outfit in a deep ravine of Bull
Neck rurr, behind the old Jackson home, where Mariah Jackson is said to have sniped at passing union soldiers
during the civil war, in Virginia, just ten miles from the White House in Washington, D. C.
The land ore which the gold rush Is on is all privately owned and in the vicinity of land which has been
worked for 35 .years for gold. This shows a miner placer mining the creek sides to wash the "pay dirt'
from under the roots of the basswood trees, which stretch for more than a hundred feet above the wild ravine.
It is said that Senator King of Utah and ex-Senator Lewis of Utah are interested in the project which has

seeing a number of purse seiners
outside and the majorfty of them
were heading north to establish

was the difficulties encountered at

Others aver that the real reason
the purse seiners are leaving the

Some optimistic and determined

upon the police for help in carry

"Where are the women who
would consent to have imposed

costume found today only in mu

hurled at the reformers. ."Where is

I Marriage Is Set Aside.
Miss Fontaine declared that young
Whitney wanted to hire a lawyer,
whom he would pay, to have that
marriage set aside. She was suc
cessful in having that done in July,
1920. During week-end trips, she
swore, Whitney slept on a couch in

quently in 1919 and 1920, she de
clared, she would motor, to New
Haven with him when he waa re
turning to Yale. En route they

STRIKERS ATTACK

Shots Fired at Watchman,
- Windows Are Broken.
SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE
Police Cautioned to Use Diligence
in Suppressing Violence
and Vandalism.
Several minor, outbreaks between
strikers and nonunion men in the
railroad strike yesterday caused
Acting Police Chief Moore to cau
tion all police to exercise the ut
most diligence and caution in sup
pressing acts of violence and van- ,
dalism among the opposing factions.
Several arrests on disorderly con
duct charges were made, although
there were no serious attacks. Clif
ford Holmes and Thurlow Stewart
were held on $100 bail for an al
leged attack on Manuel Feretti, . a
strike-breaker, near his home, 746
East Twenty-first street. Feretti
told the police he was knocked
down by the two strikers.
Frank Logan was arrested by Pa
trolman Horton after, he is said to
have intercepted and threatened
H. W. Bladarn, a nonunion shop
worker. Bladarn was not hurt.
Logan's bail was placed at $100.
Harry C. Buchanan, a railroad
mechanic, was held under $100
bonds on disorderly conduct charges
as a. result of his purported at
tempts to intimidate nonunion men
going to and from their work in
the railroad shops. .
C. H. Daniels, night watchman at
the Albina railroad dock, reported
to the police that several revolver
shots were fired at Mm during the
early hours by some unidentified
assailant. He said the shots came
from a river boat, but the police
were unable to locate the boat or
gain any further information.
Several windows at the home of
J. Bertch, 881 Grand avenue, were
broken by vandals who threw rocks
at the house late Thursday. Bertch
and his son are employed as strike
breakers and he suspects the strik
ers had something to do witli the
attack.
C. C. Knowles, 7 Webster street,
told the police that four men in
a motorcycle and sidecar followed
him home from hia work and threat
ened to beat him, although they
made no attack on him. The men
are railroad shop strikers, he said.
DALLES SHOPMEN RESOLUTE
Only One Union Man Reported to
Be at Work.. :
THE DALLES, Or., July 21. (Spe
cial.) With the exception of one
union man who is at work, the strike
of shop craft workers in The Dalles
is still complete, union officials an
nounced today. The recent walkout
of 17 members of the brotherhood
of firemen, oilers and stationary en
gineers was authorized by Timothy
Healy, president of that order, the
strikers said.
Mayor- Stadelman and Sheriff
Chrisman have been advised that no
violence will be countenanced by
union heads in The Dalles. The re
cent disturbance in which three non
union workers were alleged' to have
been attacked was not the work of
the strikers, it was asserted.

Prime Minister Lloyd George has
no intention of suggesting an inter
national loan to aid Germany, and
no syndicate of London bankers
could he formed to help the Uerman
state financially, even with a British
government guarantee.
French Opinion Stumbling Block.
Although Mr. Lloyd George would
welcome a moratorium for Germany,
or in, fact the erasing of the whole
reparations problem, I am informed
that he realizes the inability ot any
French statesmen tq abandon the
reparations question to such an ex
tent, and he knows that the slight
est concession or sacrifice would
summon an avalanche of opposition
against Premier Poincare.
Mr. Lloyd George does not be
lieve, the time is ripe for clearing
up obligations, 'but the way may be
cleared in the autumn when the
British delegation reaches Washing
ton to discuss the American debt,
after which Great Britain can con
sult France on the subject of aban
doning the British share of the rep
arations and reaching a settlement
tegarding the French indebtedness
to England.-
Reparation issue Dropped.
It is feared here that the mark
must depreciate to worthlessness
and the franc dwindle seriously be
fore the economic situation compels
France to consent to reopening the
reparations discussion. Germany
may be forced to take drastic action
to save itself.
Realizing the hopelessness of the
present situation, the cabinet has
not discussed reparations, but I am
informed it is examining instead- the
business now before the house ot
commons in order to speed up the
passage of certain bills in view of
the summer recess which the mem
bers demand.
