UNDER CHANG

eers' demands, and that Chiang's
wife had rushed to Shanghai. Mili
tary officials predicted large detach
ments of Honan provincial troops
would be sent against the rebels.
Domel said there was severe fight
ing in the vicinity of Sianfu between
the rebels, who were described as
part of Marshal Chang Hsiao-Liang's
"northwestern frontier communist
suppression army," and loyal troops.
The youthful Marshal Chang, him
self, was reported to have organised
the mutiny after receiving orders
from Generalissimo Chiang to trans.
fer his troops to Fukeln, south of
Shanghai.
The troops had been suspected of
fraternizing with the communists
they were supposed to be fighting,
planning instead, an anti-Japanese
campaign.
Marshal Chang, the Dome! agency
related, likewise seized Yu Hsueh
Chung, the Kansu governor, and
other Nanking military (leaders, in
cluding Shao Ll-Tzu, Ctiu Chua-Hua,
Chang Tso-Plng, former ambassador
to Tokyo, and Chen Chlen, generally
considered Chiangs right hand man.
Then he Issued a circular telegram
which the Domel agency said de
manded:
1. Immediate military operations
against Japan.
2. Restoration of Manchoukuo to
China.
3. Restoration of the patriot Sun
Yat Sen's policy of recognizing com
munism.
On receipt of the telegram, the
Chinese national government at
Nanking was said by Domel to have
replied:
"The national government fully
appreciates the young marshal's pro.
posals, but the national government
first desires the Immediate release of
Chiang Kai-Shek, after which it will
discuss emergency measures In con.
nectlon with the young marshal's de.
mands."
They related that the Nanking of.
flclals had lost all touch with Gen
eralissimo Chiang following the re.
volt, which was said to have begun
Friday afternoon.
Corners dispatches stated the mu.
tineers first seized control of the
Sianfu rail and traffic communica
tions, disrupting rail service on the
Lunghal line to the west.
Then, the dispatches continued,
they marched on the Sianfu mili
tary headquarters and "detained"
the generalissimo and his aides.
Quttlng Ho Chen-Chung, pacifica
tion commissioner of Hupeh , pro
vince. Domel said only a part of
Marshal Chang's forces those
under Yang Fu-Chang were lnvol
ved in the mutiny.
These troops have been operating
as "anti-communist forces" in Shen
sl and Kansu provinces of northern
China.
Sianfu is in Shensl province.
Chiang, realizing the men were
showing signs of joining up with
the communists against Japan, had
been planning to move central gov
ernment troops to positions which
would have cut off Marshal Chang
and his men from the northwestern
communist armies.
The necessity of reinforcing Chin
ese armies who are fighting Mon
golian Invaders east of Sulyuan
caused postponement of the plan,
however.

Tax Foreclosure Sales
Declared Void in Brief
Filed by Contestants
Charges that tax foreclosure proceedings instituted and
carried through by Marion county in which hundreds of
pieces of property were involved and have been disposed of
also in hundreds of cases to tnatw
many purchasers, are void and of
no effect, are made In a reply filed
by Oscar Hayter, Dallas attorney,
in circuit court here today. The re
ply la to the answer in the case
of Oril A. Edwards, administrator
of the estate of Orpha Palmer
Dawes, against Lulu Humphrey and
Jesse Potter.
The reply cites a number of par
ticulars on which the Dallas lawyer
bases his contentions as to the In
validity of the foreclosure pro
ceedings which. If upheld, county
officials admit would throw the en

sent a problem almost too knotty
for untangling.
The reply charges in the first In

of real property put up for sale and

NEER OUT OF -BRICK
PLANT
The Salem Brick & Tile company
has been taken over by the bond
holders and W. R. Kane placed In
charge. F. E. Neer, who has been
manager for many years, has retired
from connection with the concern.
Manufacturing operations have
ceased for the time being but It Is
understood negotiations for a pos
sible sale are under way.
Suit to foreclose on a bond Issue
against the company was instituted
considerably over a year ago. Last
February a compromise was reached
temporarily and extension of time
granted to the management until
early this month. Bonds to the am
ount of about $9900 have been de
faulted on, and unpaid taxes aggre
gate In excess of $4000 or a total
Indebtedness of between f 14,000 and
15,000 Involved.
When the extension of time was
granted it was thought that with the
big public building program includ
ing the new schools, state capltol
and other structures the company
might place Itself In a position to
carry on. But only a portion of the
brick contract for the schools went
to the concern and delays In build
ing of the capltol have made It im
possible to meet the obligations In
current operating costs.

carried a gun when he accompanied
the three victims to the Brltes' camp
on the night of Aug. 29.
Recalling that the state's witness
had told of hearing and seeing
shooting In the camp, chief defense
counsel suddenly asked:
"As a matter of fact, you fired
one of those shots yourself, didnt
you?"
"No," Baker replied. "I did not."
Baker was the only survivor of
the group that attempted to serve
battery warrants on the Brltes.
