SHANGHAI, Aug. 29. (AP)
Thousands of terrified Chinese
fled from Changsha and Wuchang
today as red armies approached.
Fearing red vengeance for 1.
500 comrades executed, the pro
vincial garrison of 8,000 was re
ported planning flight as 20,000
communists neared Changsha.
The advance body of 10,000 reds
only ten miles from the city wall,
threatened to attack momentari
ly. Further wholesale looting and
murder, completing the commun
ist sacking and burning of Chang
sha last month, was feared.
The few Americans who return
ed after the July holocaust were
prepared to take refuge aboard
the United States gunboat Palos.
They had little confidence In abil
ity of the provincial troops to re
pel attack and laughed at the
stringing of a wire fence about
Changsha. The fence was to car
ry a deadly electric current; a
modern device supplementing the
ancient walls of the city.
Garrison is Left
Without Leader
The wavering garrison was
without its leader. Accusing Gov.
Ho-Chien of incompetence or worse
when the reds recently despoiled
the city, the troops expelled him
a few days ago.
They demanded back pay. It was
said some had joined the com
munist forces. A large number of
boats were seized by the troops
for flight down the Siang river if
necessary.
Frightened by reports reds were
about to attack Wuchang, thou
sands of Chinese fled across the
Yangtse river to Hankow. In the
latter city nationalist government
troops Increased precautions.
Foreign warships lay at anchor
continuing their watch of several
weeks over the large number of
foreigners In Hankow.

CAMP PERRY, Ohio, Aug. 29.
(AP). A new record for the
national police pistol matches
was made here today by the De
troit team in piling up 1112
points out of a possible 1200 in
winning the Colt trophy shoot.
The Portland, Oregon, police
team, which made the previous
record of 1105 in 1927, placed
second today with 1098 points.
The New York team was third
with 1094; Baltimore fourth,
1088, and Los Angeles and Dela
ware and Hudson railroad teams
tied for fifth with 1081 each.
Members of the winning De
troit team and their individual
scores were: Alfred Hemming,
285; Gilbert Viay, 279; James
Parks, 275, and Lewis Sanderson,
273. Parks yesterday won the
six target quick fire match. The
Oregon shooters were C. A. Mar
shall, C. B. Maxwell,' J. H. Young
and C. F. Shaylor. New York's
team were Charles Migliorini, Ja
cob Saylor, Arthur Sackett, and
Adolph Schuber.
The match was fired in three
stages. Detroit's scores were 383
at slow fire, 279 at timed fire and
350 at rapid fire. Ten shots
were fired at each stage by each
contestant. There were 22 teams
entered.

on a trip to Vancouver." and gave
him 9100 or )50 on several other
occasions. He said Fryant ask
ed him to "pay my part direct to
me for I do not think I'm getting
all that's coming to me."
Boyd testified that he paid
Hubbard approximately $11,000
within a short time after the pro-,
tection agreement was made in
1927. The first agreement was
for $2 a case for all liquor run in
from Canada, but finally this was
"changed after Hubbard and Fry
and attended a meeting of boot
leggers and agreed to a flat rate
of $000 a month."
The witness said he had been
tipped off after his apartment
and cache were raided by "Rita
Johnson, who now la Mrs. Hub
bard." He testified his account
books, containing accounts of
money owed him by retail boot
leggers were, returned to him by
Hubbard, and "were never used
against me when I was tried."
Boyd testified that Hubbard re
turned the books Immediately af
ter he complained about it, telling
the agent "I would have to have
the account books ear I would be
out about $ll,00e.

CURTISS-REYNOLDS AIRPORT, CHcagoTAug. 29.
(AP) A crowd of 40,000 horror-stricken spectators
saw the small "home made"
George, Staten Island, N. Y.,
mid-air then plunge sickemngly downward into a parked
plane at the national air races
Fernic, a Rumanian, waa aeaay
when pulled from the cockpit.
His plane demolished a ship in
which Miss Martle Bowman or
Hempstead, L. I.. N. T., had Just
completed a closed course race.
The famous aviatriz missed
death by Inches as the falling
plane cleft through the fuselage
of her ship. She and W. 8. Al
lison of Cleveland had stepped
from her plane and were stand
ing nearby with a group of me
chanics. Members of the group
scurried to one side in time lo
escape injury.
It was the second major
crash witnessed by air race fans
since the beginning of the meet
and brought the total fatalities
to three. Fernic's craft, of radi
cal design, had taken off suc
cessfully. As it soared to the
north end of the field at a low
altitude it nosed skyward, made
one backward loop and fell.
Spectators Rash
On Field Screaming
Screaming In horror, thou
sands of spectators made a con
certed rush onto the field adding
to the confusion. Guards were
powerless to avert the movement
and it was some time before a
semblance of order was restored.
Fernic had flown his plane to
the air races, arriving Tuesday.
He had designed and built the
craft himself, placing on It a
short, auxiliary wing which he
believed gate it additional sta
bility. In a larger plane of similar
design, which he had Intended
to fly to Rumania, he crashed
several months ago at Roosevelt
field, but was unhurt.
The ship derived its energy
from a motor of only 70 horse
power. Fernic had told' friends
he was pleased with the plane's
performance, but It needed a
more powerful engine. Witness
es blamed his fatal accident on
insufficient power to pull the
ship out of the loop.
