“THANG ARMY | PUT TO ROUT IN FIERCE. ATTAGK Chinese Hostilities Are Ended in Defeat of Manchurian PEKING, May 5.—(By The Associated Press.)—Gen. Wu Fei-Fu was in control of Peking at noon today and 4 Gen. Chang Tso-Lin, whose forces he routed yesterday in a fierce battle south of the capital was reported fleeing to Mukden. Chang's army is retreating in disorder toward ‘Tientsin. Observers here believe Chang’s sud- den collapse has ended the hostilities. AM fighting In the vicinity of Peking had ceased this morning. The section inside the walls occu pled by the Americans became. great- ly excited during the night by an attempt of the soldiers outside to ram he gate and gain entrance. The guards on top of the wall dispersed the attacking troops with machine guns. No foreigners were injured. With 50,000 troops, General Wu en- circled Chang ‘i'so-Lin's forces outside Peking and after 15 hours of relentloss cannonading, machine gun fire and in- fantry charges routed his opponent, making himself the master of the capi- tal. Wu's furces campo Iast night un- molested outside the city gates, while Chang’s soldiers were scattered, hav- _ ing retired with the main body down the railroad toward Tientsin, or dis persed in unorganized mobs over the hills. The routed army left behind artili- ery, munitionz, horses and loaded loaded enmels, and its wounded and dead. ‘The total easuntties in Thurs- dey’s fighting are believed to have reached from 5,000 to 7,000 dead and wounded. As the fighting was brought near’ Peking’s walls, warning was sent the city authorities that soldiers were about to enter the capital. The gates wero immediately closed, only foreign- ers who had been snut out being per- mitted to enter. + [afircad conmmunteation in afi direc: tions has been suspended.

Certain districts never heard of until this week aro being discussed glibly. ‘The Russia ndelegation has denied that it made any contract for the sale of its output. Everybody from M. Tehitcherin down denied reports of all contracts. Colonel J. W. Boyle, a Can- adian officer, who represents the Roy- al Dutch and Shell companies here, which are reported to bave signed con- tracts with the Soviets, has issued re- peated denials from his sick bed. ‘The | British government also has denied that contracts have been made with its knowledge but the French correspondents will accept no denials, and are describing “the alleged treachery" which is supposed.to have given the British control of the Cau- casian output.

M. Rakovsky made a statement to- ay relative to the Russian oil output which shows the monthly production averaged 47,000,00 poods in 1913, and was nearly 23,000,000 poods monthly in 1922, (a pood is 36 pounds). He pointed out that the oil industry has suffered less than practically any oth- er in the Russian collapse. M. Krassin, although denying the completion of any sales or development agreements, frankly states that he is negotiating’ with oil companies in: many countries. The Belgians form- erly owned many oil properties in the Baku fields, and their objections to the * MILITARISM IN CHINA DEFEATED. The strugle between Generale Chang TsoLin antl Wu Pel-Fu which has reached its climax-in the present cam- paign, was foreshadowed in Associat- ed Press dispatches in September, 1921, when it was outlined as a battle between militarism in China under the leadership of Chang, the most power- tul military governor of the republic and with Fu as its stand- ard bearer. In personality the men are exact op- posites, while their present relative posttions form an outstanding paradox fn Chinese political history. Chang, rogarded as the war lord and Advo- ente of a military hegemony, sprang from the people, is uneducated and gained his dominating position through forea of character and personal brav- ery. Wu came from the upper classes distinguished himself in his younger days as a student and when only 21 years of age, won the Chinese degree equivalent to bachelor of arts in a competitive literary examination.

Carroll and Deputy Sheriff Glen Schultz found it to be a minature diamond mine. ‘They discovered a diamond stick- pin, a string of pearis, a wrist watch and several other pieces of jewelry. ‘The search was made on a “tip” from a group of boys who said they had seen a stranger bury something in the pile as the officers ap- proached. The stranger, an under sized youth of about 17 years of age, was found nearby and arrested. He gave the name of Elbert Spreggins and claimed to have alighted from a freight train leas than an hour previ- ously. He gave Springfield, Mo., as his home. Young Spreggins is held on sus- picion that he was. the burglar whom Mrs. Norman Black surprised in her home Monday evening, and who has committed seyeral other house- breaking jobs here during the last few days. None of the jewelry re- covered from the manure pile was taken in the Cheyenne robberies that have been reported.

Marquis launched a wholesale cleanup on the section of the) field known as South Camp last night. The raids resulted in the detention of 40 or more persons, | the preferment of charges against a half-dozen of the tnore flagrant of- fenders and in bringing forcibly to bear on the minds of the other tem- porarily resthined defendants that law violations in the field couid no longer exist with impunity. In each of the cases where charges were plac- ed fines of $21 and costs were im- posed and paid. The raids were concetved and car- ried out under the direction of Sheriff Joe L. Manquis' office, following a re- port some two weeks ago that the weekly dances at the South Camp were the incentive for wholesale law violations, in which liquor was openly sold and consumed and a genersl dis- regard for law was evidenced. With the possibility of scores of ar- rests and the inability of law enforce- ment machinery of the county to cope with such results, provisions were made and completed to move the ju- dicial ‘and prosecuting forces to the seat of the crimes. In order to prevent the possibility of a tip-off the forces under the direc- tion of Sheriff Joe L. Marquis and with the assistance of members of the state law enforcement department repaired to the field yesterday and last night in four cars. The last car to leave Casper car- red Judge W. E.

It was reported that the {weekly dances held at a new dance hall recently opensd there would af- ford an opportunity for the state and county forces to do effective work. During the effective sweep of the cleanup scores of persons in various stages of intoxtcatioy wera placed under temporary restraint. Charges Were preferred against the most fla- grant offenders and institutions in the vicinity of the new dance hall thought to be headquarters for distribution of contraband liquor were searched.
