HANKOW, Aug. 15. -An official
Nationalist government commun-
ique today said that Nanking
troops this morning recaptured
Tsnan, important north China city.
The northern army was reported
fleeing northward and leaving be-
hind large quantities of ammuni-

Look! Big Accident as
Car Goes Down Street
The car came down North Uni-
versity avenue. It was yellow, with
wire wheels. The time of the event
was at 2 p. m. in the afternoon.
The car was coming down the
street at about 20 miles per hour
and came down the street blowing
its horn for anyone that might
have been in the way to move for
if they didn't they would be in the
way.
So there was one thing that
couldn't get out of the way but
the car kept coming on and on be-'
cause it didn't know anything was
in the way. Finally it came to the'
crossing but it was too late and the

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 15.-Gene
Sarazen, a great money player,
with his eyes focused on another
bag of gold, led a spectacular as-
sault on par over the Kreller coun-
ty course today and snatched a
one-shot margin in the big final
for the $10,000 St. Paul open golf
championship.
The stocky New York Italian pro-
fessional whose big club carried
away the largest cash prize in golf
history at Agua Caliente last win-
ter, went around the championship
course today with a brilliant 67, five
lusty strokes under par, which not
only netted him his scant advant-
age, but gave him a new competi-
tive record for the course.
One stroke behind him at the
end of the quarter-way junction of
the seventy-two hole medal strug-
gle was Johnny Farrel of New York,
who, like Sarazen, is a former Na-
tional open champion, and Otto
Hackbarth, the veteran profession-
al from Cincinnati, who made his

(By Associated Press)
TOLEDO, O., Aug. 15. - A man
about 35 years old who surrendered
in Stryker, Ohio, this afternoon
signed a confession according to
authorities, that he shot and killed
Jerry Buckley, radio announcer for
station WMBC in Detroit several
weeks ago. He said he was hired to
be the entertainer's assassin.
The man alighted from a truck
on which he had "bummed" a ride
into the town and then asked where
he could find an officer of the law.
He was told that Marshall N. Far-
ber, who is also a deputy sheriff,
was at work in his auto repair shop.

Ann Arbor householders who will
have rooms for rent to public school
teachers during 1930-31 are urged
to communicate with the office of
the superintendent of schools to
list such accommodations as they
have, an announcement from that
office states.
By calling in person, writing, or
dialing 5713, landlords may list
their rooms, it was said. Included
with the listing is desired informa-
tion dealing with the number of
rooms available, whether single or
in a suite, furnished or unfurnish-
ed, location with reference to the
schools, and similar factors.
The information should be in the
hands of the secretary to the super-
intendent within a short time, as
teachers often come to Ann Arbor

their arrangements, leave again
