CHINESE * [OSES
HIS LIFE IN MAGOTHY
Pao Tien Hsieh, Legation At
tache, Had Been Swimming
With Companions
* WAS WITH PICNIC PARTY
E The waters of Magothy river were
1 the scene yesterday afternoon of the
first drowning accident of the season
when Pao Tien Hsl<£ 28 years old,
an attache of the Chinese legation at
Washington sank to his death. Mr.
Hsleh had been connected with the
Chinese legation for five years.
One of a party of 13 prominent
1 Chinese, the attache was spending the
day at the c<Aintry home of Jesse
Bennett on Forked Creek, about 12
miles from Annapolis. The visit had
been arranged by Dr. Pao Chao
Hsieh, 315 University Parkway, Bal
timore, the victim’s brother, who is
attached to Johns Hopkins Univer
sity. ,
No Outcry Heard
Yesterday afternoon the party went
bathing in the Magothy. Suddenly It
was discovered that Pao Tien was
missing. There had been no outcry,
and no one saw him sink. After
searching for some time, and diving
repeatedly without success, an alarm
was given, to which about a half doz
en men responded.
The diving was continued and the
body finally located and brought to
the surface by Robert Stinchcomb,
Walluce Broadbelt, Orlando Gardner
and Jeff Phipps about two hours after
Mr. Hsieh’s disappearance was noted.
Oscar L. Hutton, Severna Park,
justice of the peace, was notified, and
as coroner, gave a certificate of acci
dental death by drowning.
Body Brought. To Annapolis
The body was brought to Annapolis
by Undertakers Janies S. Taylor and
Bona and has been prepared for bur
ial. It is understood the body will
be sent to China, though final dispo
sition awaits words from Chinese of
ficials in Washington.
FILM ARTISTS IN
TOWN FOR PICTURES
The movie fans can have a good
time for the next two days, for they
will have a chance to see a picture in
the making. Five big autos, filled
with movie actors, camera men and all
the paraphernalia needed to take a
picture., arrived at Carvel Hall this
morning and proceeded to the Naval
Academy, having secured permission
to take some pictures there. They
are part of the Fox Film Company
outfit and the pictures taken here are
to form a portion of a big picture the
company is doing, in which the hero
is a captain in the navy. The scenes
taken here will presumably show the
captain in his midshipman days.

MOUNTAINEERS GOT 11
HARD DRIVES OFF KELLY
Playing in prime form, after
uncertain performances in the
last few games, the baseball
team. of \Y est Virginia Univer
sity jolted the midshipmen Sat
urday, winning a well played and
interesting game bv 3 to 1.
Wood, who went to the hill for the
Mountain boys, had all sorts of stuff
on the ball and the tniddies could do
nothing with him until the ninth
when they got a brace of bingles,
which with as many errors gave them
their only tally of the game. Until
that inning, Wood Had been backed
up in superb style. On his own ac
count, he accepted eight chances,
some of them hard to handle. He
easily had the advantage over Kelly
in hurling, forcing 8 batsmen to fan,
compared to Kelly’s 2. He walked one
and Kelly none. On the other hand
Kelly was touched up for 11 clean
singles. Except for the Harvard game,
it was the only time this season that
“Slim” has been hit hard.
Each Faced Other Last Year
The opposing hurlers also faced
each other last season, but the story
was entirely different. Last year the
Middies pounced on Wood in the first
session for six hits, and 8 runs, but
tallied only one more after that. The
final count then was 9 to 2. Wood
was virtually the main show In Sat
urday’s fracas, although DeVaugn
played a brilliant game at the hot
corner for the visitors. The Navy
infield also pulled off some fine per
formances at stages.

WORTHLESSCEHCKS
Stock Prices Tumble When
Heavy Buying Is Found Re
sult Of Fake Orders
(By The Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, May 7.—Prices on the
New York stock exchange were sent
tumbling today by the reaction from
heavy buying started on a flood of or
ders backed by worthless checks
drawn on several Pennsylvania banka.
More than a score of worthless checks
were received by Wall street houses
over the week-end.
One of the checks was for $15,000
drawn on the Keystone National
Bank, of Reading, Pa., to cover buying
of Westinghouse and Reading stocks.
Attempt To “Rig" Market; Claimed
Others accompanied orders to buy
New York Central stock. Reports
from Philadelphia and Boston indi
cated that similar orders and checks
had been received on the exchanges
there.
Wall street brokers, declaring the
perpetrators of the hoax obviously
could have not expected to gain pos
session of the stocks ordered since the
orders were placed in the names of
various reputable concerns, attributed
the scheme of unscrupulous traders
with a desire to “rig” the market.
The orders, all posted so as to reach
New York simultaneously before the
opening ot he stock market this morn
ing, were from Harrisburg, York, At
lentown and Reading, Pa.. Amster

HEART ATTACK M
TO EDWARD B. COLE
Esteemed Citizen Was 34 Years
Manager Of Postal Telegraph
Company's Office
ACTIVE CHURCH WORKER
Heath last night removed another
esteemed resident of Annapolis—Ed
ward B. Cole. Mr. Cole died in
Emergency Hospital at 10:30 o’clock
where he had been a patient for the
last two weeks. Though he had been
in failing health for several months,
death was rather unexpected, and
came from a sudden heart attack.
Mr. Cole had been a sufferer from
a complication of organic troubles,
and although his condition at one
time was regarded as extremely
grave, during the last few days, he
seemed to rally and it was felt that
he would recover. Several friends
who visited him at the hospital late
Saturday afternoon, noted much im
provement in his general condition.
His heart, however, became greatly
weakened, in fighting the ravages of
other ailments and he sank rapidly
after the stroke which seized him
shortly after 10 o’clock Saturday
night.
ThWy.Four Years At The “Key"
Mr. Cole, for 34 years, had been
Annapolis manager of the Postal
Telegraph-Cable Company, and en
joyed a wide acquaintance through
out the State in connection with his
duties at the State House during ses
sions of the Maryland Legislature.
He is survived by a widow, and one
son. Arthur B. Cole. A brother,
Clarence Cole, prominent lawyer of
Atlantic City, N. J., and former chief
judge of the Circuit Court of that
city, also survives.
Active In Religious Work
For many years, Mr. Cole was
prominently identified with religious
activities of the city. A charter mem
ber of the Baptist congregation of
the city, he aided materially in the
erection of the College Avenue Bap
tist Church a number of years ago.
Mr. Cole was a member of the Ches
apeake Tribe of Red Men of this city.
He was a devout Christian gentleman,
a true friend, and a host of citizens
mourn his death.

from Linchang, but all the women

Schurman in the first official reports
to reach the State Department re

of passengers on the Shanghai-Pekin

Minister Schurman's report was
dated midnight, May 6. at Tsinan-Fu
and described the situation as ’’very
serious.’’ A paraphrase, made public
by the state department, read:
“An express train which left Sat
urday morning from Shanghai was
held up about 2 a. m. Sunday by ban

“Ont of 26 foreigners, 19 were held
captive, including a Mr. Powell of the

“The situation Is very serious.
“There is little information obtain
