So v NORTH DAKOTA'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED 1878 INQUIRY INTO N.d. CAMPAIGN COST ORDERED Reed Campaign Funds Com- mittee to Have Job—Cara- way Is Instigator SERIOUS CHARGES MADE Newspapers Claim One Candi- date Offered $200,000 for Man’s Support Washington, May 17.—(?)—Ex- penditures in the Republican sena- torial primary in New Jersey will come under the gaze of the campaign funds committee, Before the final returns were in from the Tuesday balloting, the senate late yesterday ordered the in- quiry, adopting without a record vote a resolution offered by Senator Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas. The senator based his proposal on New Jersey newspaper accounts carrying requests that the primary candidates list their campaign expenses and charges ‘that one candidate had of- fered $200,000 for a certain individ- ual’s influence. Five candidates were in the Re- publican senatorail race and almost complete returns tciay showed Hamilton F. Kean, former Republi- can national committeeman for New Jersey, to have been nominated. His nearest rival was Edward C. Stokes, former governor, who, the newspapers related, had urged that all candidates bare their expendi- tures. Candidates Fail to Answer Caraway also read editorials from “Republican newspapers” suggest- ing an investigation and charges printed in other publications that all expenditures had not been revealed. He said the other candidates had not seen fit to answer Stokes. Although the resolution seeks an investigation of both party races, it most likely will be confined to the Republican as Senator Edwards, Democrat, was unopposed for re- nomination. Senator Edge, Republican, New Jersey, did not oppose the resolu- tion, but said he believed there was no foundation for the charges made by the candidates “in the heat of a very partisan campaign.” He added that the people of state would welcome “a fair and impartigl in- vestigation.” v Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, a candidate for the presidential nom- ination at Houston veteran chairman of the special campaign funds committee which investigated the money chests of the Pennsyl- vania and Illirois primaires of 1926, will ask to be relieved of the task of inquiring intc the New Jersey race.

C.. May 17—— Governor Smith may have opposi- tion in the Houston convention from South Carolina Democrats, but not the kind his arch enemies in this state had mapped out for him. After a hectic day meeting in which the lie was passed and a brawl indulged in by former Governor John Gary Evans of Spartanburg, leader of the bone-dry bloc, . and Edgar A. Brown of-Barnwell, 2 for- mer speaker of the South Carolina house, the state Democratic conven- tion last night elected 18 delegates to the national conclave, and a na- tional committeeman and committee- woman. : The delegates will go uninstructed as to’ the presidential candidate, but with directions to work for a dry nominee and dry platform.

Eiche himself was not at home. in the South Carolina primary to support the national and state nomi- nees in November. Brown de- nounced the resolution as “a menace to solidarity of the Democratic party and to white supremacy.” The fight between Evans and Brown climaxed a period of tense debate. When Evans broke into Brown’s speech, shouting, “You're in the Re- blican party already,” Brown shot k, “You are a liar.” The former governor jumped at the speaker with clenched fists. The two rolled over on floor for several minutes while hissing and cheering from the floor and galleries mingled with shouts of “prohibition, prohibition,” “Out with Al Smith,” “Let me at him, I'll kill him.” Brown Given Floor The chairman, Judge Mendel Smith, finally restored order with a threat to clear the galleries.

Congressional action on the two controversial measures ‘was com- pleted when the senate ayy conference reports in which differ- ences between the senate and house were adjusted. With this over, speculation was revived as to what kind of a recep- tion they will be accorded by Pres- ident Coolidge. Although changed considerably since its veto last year, the farm re- lief bill, setting up a farm board and huge revolving fund to aid farmers in marketing their cro) still carries the much-debated eaual ization fee, and for this reason there appeared to be little doubt at the capitol that the measure ain would fail of executive approval. Measure’s Backers Hopeful This fee, which would be levied against growers of certain commodi- ties to assist in stabilizing market conditions when surpluses exist, has been held unconstitutional by Atto: ney General Sargent, and while id it still is believed to be unacceptable at the White House. Leading backers of the measure, however, have hoped that because of the alternative pro- vided before application oz the fee, the .president would sign it as the seek obtainable legislation at ‘this time.

A neighbor, Henry Uecker, was led to the boy by his saddle horse and found the little fel- low kneeling on the top of a small hill and whining softly. He was over a mile from home and on ground near which 100 men of the neighborhood and Jamestown had tramped all night in vain. The child was supposed to have followed his father to a neighboring farm with a piece of farm machinery. The alarm was not given in Jamestown until 10:30 when the fire whistle summoned a large group for the search. The Gehlerd farm is six and one-half miles northeast of here. The child was found seven miles from the city.

PRICE FIVE CENTS | NATIONALIST TROOPS ADVANCING ON PEKING SITUATION IN CHINESE CITY GROWS TENSE Soldiers Are Making Prepara- tions for Defense of Lega- tion Quarter BOUNDARIES GUARDED Lt. Col. Thomas Holcomb, U. S. Marine Corps, Will Com- mand All Forces Peking, May 17,.—(?)—Threatened by advancing Nationalist troops, Peking was tense today. Larger patrols than usual moved through the streets of the native city and about the foreign concessions. Preparations for the defense of the legation quarter had been made by the guards, whose senior officer is Lieutenant-Colone] Thomas Hole comb, United States marine corps. Japanese soldiers worked actively providing quarters for several hun- dred of their troops near the form- er Austrian legation and strengthen- ing their defenses, British Nationals were warned by their legation to be prepared to move into the legation quarter at short notice. Valuables were bein; sent for safekeeping by bot Chinese and foreigners to the var- legations, Walls Are Reinforced A new heavy wall of masonry rose along the western boundary of the legation quarter, which is al- ready protected by the great Tar- tar wall on the south. Heavy gates eneased in iron sheeting barred the entrances to the Chinese city on the north, Along many points in the enclosing wall, new loopholes were cut to permit freer use of machine guns, American troops were to defend the southern boundary, marked by the Tartar wall, and they shared the western “front” with the British. ‘The French took the east boundary and the Japanese, Italians and British the north, In the case of an emergency, Lieutenant-Colonel Holcomb as sen- ior officer would assume command of the International force of 1,650 defending the quarter. This force cludes 450 ~Argerican marines, 5 British infantry, 400 French colonial troops, 350 Japanese infan- try and 125 Italian marines. Tientsin Also Threatened In Tientsin, also threatened, 3,950 American soldicrs formed a portion of the defending force. The troops there included the third marine brigade under Brig. General Smed- assigned -| ley D. Butler, a strong marine avia- tion detachment and 850 officers and men of the fifteenth infantry under Brigadier General Joseph C. Scastner. Other forces at Tientsin includ 00 French Colonials, 1,600 ish infantry, 400 Japanese and 375 Italians. Lieutenant General Arai of the Japanese army is sen- ior officer. TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT FOREIGNERS IN TIENTSIN Shanghai, May 17,—<)—North- ern forces were moving into posi- tion today to battle against the southerners threatening Peking as American and other foreign troops prepared to protect their nationals in Tientsin, fearing it would fall in- to the hands of the nationalists. , Companies of American and Brit- ish soldiers, who were beginning their summer training at Skanhaik- wan and Chinwangtao, were ordered to return to Tientsin. American marines, Italian and Japanese sol- diers barricaded the exvosed points in the foreign concession area and threw walls of sand bags about them. Other preparations for th2 defense of the concessions went for- ward steadily. A dispatch to Rengo, a Japanese news agency, from Peking said the Manchurian adherents of th. north- ern dictator, Marshal Char. Tso- Lin, had decided to launch an of- fensive against General Feng Yu- Hsiang, southern (nationaiist) com- mander. The northern forces chose the Peking-Hankow railway as the line of their drive and for this pur- pose Yang Yu-Ting, chief of staff under Marshel Chang, and Chang Hsueth-Liang, the marshal’s eldest son, left for Paotingfu, about 100 miles southwest of Peking on the Hankow railroad. (An_earlier Tokyo dispatch said that General Feng Yu-Hsiang had intercepted northern troops with- drawing toward Tientsin at Ma- chang, 40 miles to the south, and’ heavy fighting resulted. Apparent- ly the plan of the northern command was to gather their scattered forces together near Paotingfu, about 60 miles west of Machang, for a deter- mined stand.) Ordered to Withdraw Troops Another Rengo dispatch from Peking said neral Wu Chun- Sheng, military governor of Heil- ungkiang Province, uria, who (Continued on page two) ith the name i
