WHANGPOO RIVER
TRADE LIFE-LINE
Muddy Stream Is Also Near
est Exit for Occidentals
Marooned in Tragic City
Port Opened in 1842
WASHINGTON, D. C (Spl.) The
Whang poo river Is playing a double
role In the tragedy of embattled
Shanghai. For Chinese and Japanese,
the river and 1U adjacent mud flats
are a heavily bombarded battlefield,
For the occidentals marooned in
Shanghai, the sluggish muddy stream
la the nearest exit.
"The Whangpoo river La usually
the most anonymous stream in Chi
na," says a bulletin from headquar
ters here of the National Geographic
society. "Whenever Shanghai Is spo
ken of as a seaport, the Whangpoo
la being alighted, for. this relatively
little-known river actually makes
possible the commercial importance
of China's largest city.
"The Whangpoo can truly be called
the author of Shangnal'a sucoess
story: from flahlng village to world
port In less than a century. Only
native Junk of Chinese fishermen
sailed the Whangpoo and tied up at
the walled village of Shanghai in
1842 when foreign trade was first
permitted by treaty to enter. Since
then the muddy crock nas borne sail
and ateam ships from all tbe seven
seas until the traffic has constructed
a, modern metropolis on the Whang'
poo's mud flats.
13 MIIps From Sea
"Shanghai la two steps removed
from the ocean. Vessels must travel
Into the broad yellow mouth of the
Yangtze and turn to the left into
Its tributary, the Whangpoo, for 13
miles before reaching 'seaport' Shang
hai. "Constantly hanging over the river
la the threat of silting up. Two mll
llan cubic yarda of mud a year must
be dredged to keep the channel open
to a low-tide depth of 28 feet. A
treacherous mud-bar lurks where the
river empties Into the Yangtze and
there some sea-going vessels transfer
their cargo to lighters rather than
cross the bar.
'Fifty years ago Shanghai was pit
led as a doomed city about to be cut
off from foreign trade entirely by the
menacing silt. Warships and ocean
liners, however, still ride at anchor
In Shanghai's harbor, keeping China's
leading city among the world's ten
busiest ports. Foreign shipping, with
out reckoning matting-winged sam
pans and heavy Junks that swarm
about tbe harbor, amount annually
to over 30 million tons.
Hlang Expression Born.
"Beside the Whangpoo runs the
world-famous Bund, crowded thor
oughfare replete with foreign and
local color. Clubs, banks, business
houses and consulates focus Inter
national Interest along the water
front. With approximately 60,000 for
eigners of 60 different nationalities
In Shanghai on business and pleas
ure, the Whangpoo bears a great re
sponsibility as commercial entrance
and safety exit.
"Paralleling the rlvei on the route
from the Yangtze to the metropolis
Is tbe first railroad built in China.
But It has not yet even challenged
the supremacy of water transporta
tion in linking the port with the sea.
"Clipper ships moored In the
Whangpoo, and restless to recruit a
full crew by hook or crook and sail
for home, brought a picturesque Idiom
Into the English language: to "Shanghai.".

T SLAIN
EVE OF TRIAL
(Continued from Page One.)
til Friday to allow Rodea K. Myera,
chief of Denhardt'a counsel, time to
return the general'a body to Bowling
Green, Ky.
The warrants were served on the
Clarr brothers In the Shelby count;
Jail by Sheriff Forrest Barnes.
Wright said the grand Jury would
convene October 4. What action the
commonwealth will take against the
Grits rests with the grand Jury.
Major crimes are prosecuted only on
Indictments In Kentucky.
Attorney General Hubert 8. Mere
dith said state policemen were sent
to Shelbyvllle last night on request
of Myers but that he could not take
charge of the case.
Tries To Flee
Three men stepped from an auto
mobile on the main street here last
night as Denhardt and Myers started
back to a hotel after conferring over
final details of the trial scheduled
today.
"There are tha darr brothers."
Myers said he warned Denhardt. The
latter ran toward the hotel only to
crumple In Its entrance with bullets
through his head, and heart. Myers
fled In another direction and came
back with hands above his head, to
beg that be be spared.
"You are the who killed my
sister and rm going to kill you,"
Myera said Roy Oarr shouted as the
bullets flew.
"You are the who defended
the who killed my sister." Myers
declared Roy shouted at htm. "I put
my hands up and pleaded with him,"
the attorney said.
Surrender Quietly
"Don't shoot the lawyer," Myers
said Dr. Oarr cried.
Denhardt died without uttering a
word. A crowd gathered and Patrol
man Jeptha Tracey came running
up. Tracey aald the .three brothera
gave up their pistols and surrendered
quietly to him and that Roy said,
"I did It."
At his first trial the Jury disagreed
and Denhardt a 925.000 bond was re
newed. Be declared Mrs. Taylor com
mitted suicide because of tbe threats
of a Jealous suitor. The common
wealth contended Denhardt killed her
last November S because she yielded
to her family's objections and had
declined to marry him.
Declaring his Innocence, the Span
ish American, Mexican border and
World war veteran predicted aa he
left court after the disagreement that
"there will be no second trial." The
trial waa called at the September
term, however, but Denhardt'a wordc
came true.
