PAUL, Minn, June 20.—Adai- tional returns today from Monday's primary election in Minnesota strengthened the lead established at the outset by Senator Frank B. Kel-| logg., Gov. J. A. O. Preus and other| candidates indorsed by the republican state convention. Mrs. Annie Dickey Olsen, democratic ate convention choice for the United States senatorlal nomination, crept| into the lead again as new returns | came in, and when 387 precinets had | reported her vote was 4,968 to the 3,593 polled by her nearest opponent, Thomas J. Meighen. Reuben Thoreen of Stillwater, in- dorsed by the republican district con- vention, improved his lead over Rep- resentative Charles R. Davis in the third_district as new returns came in today. When setenty-five precincts had reported. Thoren had 8,265 and! Davis 6.245. Renomination of Gov. Preus and other republican state officers, with | the possible exception of clerk of | the supreme court, was indicated Jdn orts from 200 representative dis- tricts. Contest for Clerk. The contest for clerk of the supreme | court, between Miss Grace F. Kaerch- | er, indorsed by the state convention, and Herman Mueller, incumbent, | elected two years ago, with Non-Par- tisan League indorsement, scemed close as tabulation of returns was re- sumed today, although Miss Kaercher then had a four-to-three lead. Mrs. Olesen or Meighen was pre- pared to make a statement that they preferred to await compilation of ‘more reports. First reports gave Mrs. Olesen a marked advantage, and for some time she held a lead, only to lose it as the Ramsey county (St. Paul) vote began to come in. Then first she and then Meighen would take first place. It is| the first time in the history of the state—local politiclans- say it is the first time in the history of the coun- try—that a woman has sought the! senatorial nomination of a major po- litfeal party, and in Mrs. Olesen's case she had the indorsement of the demo- cratic convention. | Lived on a Farm. Born in Minnesota thirty-six years ago, Mrs. Olesen lived on a farm in the southern part of the state until she married Peter Olesen, now super- intendent of city schools at Colquet. They have one child, Mary, fourteen years old, who has taken an active in- terest in her mother's entry into pol- ities. In the republican senatorial race Ernest Lundeen of Minneapolis, for- mer representative, gave Senator Kellogg the closest race, although re- ports from the first 200 precincts showed Kellogg leading 2 to 1. The same ratio was maintained by Gov. Preus, whose opponent was Franklin ¥. Ellsworth. . Further reports today from the third congressional district indicates that the contest between Representa- tive Charles D. Davis and Reuben Thoreen, the latter indorsed by the district convention, would be closer than first reports had indicated. The republican congressional nomi- nees, aside from the third district candidate, apparently were as fol- lows: First district, Sidney Anderson; sec- ond, Frank Clague: fourth, Oscar Kellar; fifth, Walter H. Newton; sixth, Harold Knutson; seventh, Andrew J. Volstead; eighth, Oscar J. Larsen; ninth, Halvor Steenerson, and tenth, Thomas D. Schall. ‘There were no contests for the dem- ocratio congressional nominations. In the third district Mrs. Lillien Cox Gault, mayor of St. Peter, is the sominee. : Chiung-Ming, | capital. -« Prospects for Peace. No day since 1918 has dawned with fairer prospects of peace and prosper- ity for China than this one. For the first time since that year she has a : government with some color of con- stitutionality in power at Peking; Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, the chief political oppo- nent of the Peking regime, is stripped of most of his power, and the chief of the turbulent Tuchuns, or military provincial governors, has been reduced to fnactivity, so far as arms are con- cerned. Moreover, Manchuria, which a day or two ago was proclaiming semi-independence, has signified _its willingness to adhere to the unifica- tion movement. Li Yuan-Hung, formerly president by grace of his succession to the of- fice from the vice presidency on the death of Yuan Shih-Kai, and now again in office by the request of Wu Pei-Fu and other central China lead- ers that he exercise the constitutional authority Temaining in him despite his ousting in 1917, appeared today in a new light—that of astute political craftsman. Asks United China. ‘When Wu and his supporters were | importuning Li to return to Peking and resume the presidency Li de- murred on the ground that he must be president of a united China or none. That meant, in simple terms, that Dr. Sun Yat-Sen must abandon | his presidency of the Canton gavern- ment, which involved by inference the fall of that government. Sun was obdurate, but Li did take office, Now comes the disclosure that be- fore he left the retirement of private life Li_had arranged erstwhile leader of Sun's troops, the Canton presidency Both events have become facts, but now only has it been learned generally that Li had a hand in arranging them. Sun Still on Gunbont. Sun still is aboard the gunboat at ‘Whampoa which he boarded last Fri- important to overthrow and seize {day when Chen's coup attained suc- cess. Wu's defeat of Chang Tso-Lin in the north and the resultant armistice and withdrawal of Chang's forces to- ward Mukden, his headquarters, leaves Wu free to move troops south, and this he is doing. Already the dis- patches tell of the arrival of his bat- tallons from the north in the area tributary to Canton, where the fight- ing must be if an armed effort is at- tempted by any of Sun’s forces. STATE DEPARTMENT ADVISED American Consul at Canton Tells of Bombardment. By the Associated Press. The American consul at Canton, China, advised the State Department today that gunboats of the forces of Dr. Sun Yat Sen had bombarded’the town and “raked the bund” with ma- chine gun fire, tWo American build- ings being struck by bullets. The consul added that he had protested to Dr. Sun and been informed that there would be a second bombardment, but that the 'bund would not be again fired upon unless the gunboats were themselves fired upon from that di- rection. It was said at the department that no action had been taken here with regard to the bombardment, the de- partment standing for the present in support of the protest made by the consul. DELAYS SHIP SUBSIDY. President Said to Have Sanctioned Month’s Wait.

He told the police he was on his way to see a lawyer to arrange for obtaining bond, preparatory to surrendering to the authorities, Girl Found Wandering. Catherine was found wandering on the road about 8 o'clock not far from | the Giddings place, where the assault is alleged to have occurred, by Wil- liam Frank, a resident of that section. The latter was bringing her to Washington to turn her over to the police, he said, when Officer Michael J. Mahaney of No. 10 precinct met them, On being taken to police headquar- ters the girl dealared that she had | been “locked up” last night in a house near the Giddings' place, es- caping early this morning through a window. She asserted that she was taken to this house by a tall man, wearing a badge and clalming to be a detective, and turned over to a wom- |an in the house, where she remained overnight. This. “tall man” the Rosenbaum girl stated, met her about 10 o'clock last night, shortly after she had left William Emmich, a fifteen-year-old boy living with his grandparents near Sligo branch, on the outskirts of Takoma Park, Md. She said she | had spent most of the day in com- pany with this boy, hiding in the dense woods in front of the Emmich boy's home. All Countryside Searched. Police authorities of Washington and Maryland had scoured virtually every foot of this tangled woods all | qay yesterday and had waited until |atter 10 o'clock last night at Emmich's home in the hope that the boy and girl would show up. The boy had not returned to his home this morning, constituting an additional mystery, as his grandparents declare he had nev- er been known to stay away after dark. When taken to police headquar- ters half a dozen news photographers snapped pictures of the girl, but were thwarted when they tried to get Lyles’ photograph, as he shielded his face with his straw hat. According to the storv the girl told the police at headquarters, and which is given considerable credence, Cath- rine was taken In Lyles' surrey about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon with a companion, Caroline Tupper. After accomplishing this mission and tak- ing home Lyles passengers, Mrs. George Nail and daughter, Lyles sug- gosted that the girls go with him to Glen Icho. Instead of starting in the direction of the resort, however, Lyles headed his horse out the Rock | Creek Church road toward the Dis- trict line. The Tupper girl is lieved to have ridden nearly as far as the District line, from testimony of persons who saw the team and its oc- cupants. Caroline then got out and went to her home, Catherine remain- ing in the surrey and driving on with Lyles, on the latter's induce- ments, to the Giddings place, on the Sligo Mill road, two or three miles over the line in Maryland. Conflict in Information. The stories of Catherine and Lyles agree, with few exceptions, to the foregoing detalls. It is what went on after the couple reached the home of John Giddings that much of the foun- | dation for charges against the man rest on. Lyles contends that he and the girl, although “for a while” in a first-floor bedroom, sat up together or took turns lying down on a couch. The girl gave different information and refused to be shaken from her story that she was assaulted.

Chief McInerney stated that. follow- ing further medical examination of the prisoner, it was prebable that he would be turned over to the police. He was captured through means of the kerosene can In which he had carried kerosene to the building. In his statement he admitted having purchased the kerosene at a hardware {near Massachusetts avenue. Investi- gators of the bureau soliciting sellers of kerosene throughout the city found that such a can as that found near the bureau after the attempt had been filled at the obtaining a description of the man through service records of the bu- reau, located him this morning at his residence. WORD FRGN SOVET ANATED AT HAGUE President of Commission and Chairmen to Be Elect- ed Tomorrow. | By the Associated Press. | THE HAGUE, June 20.—The con- ference of experts rested today while | notification went forward to Moscow of the formation of the sub-commis- sions which will negotiate with the soviet delegation in regard to Rus- sian affairs. ‘The president of the main commis- slon and the chairmen of the three subcommissions will be elected to- morrow. These four heads will form a sort of central committee to Insure unity of action. France's decision to participate in the conference is explained as con- tingent solely on the condition that the meeting “is merely a reunion of form of mere suggestions to their home governments—and that all politi- cal questions be prohibited. | France also reserves the right to withdraw her delegates at any time, “if the attitude of the soviet repre- sentatives appears to render it neces- sary.” The subcommission on property, it was announced at the end of vester- day’'s conference session, besides the five inviting countries and Holland, will comprise Norway, Finland, Swit- zerland, Sweden and Rumania, the country to alternate with Jugoslavia in _the subcommission on debts.

K. Resur- facing of Three Thorough- fares in District. Resurfacing of three streets at a total cost of $24,500 and treatment of scores of streets in every section of the city with ofl and tarvia at a total cost exceeding $70.000 was ap- proved by the District Commissioners at a board meeting today. The streets to be resurfaced include the roadway of Pennsylvania avenue southeast from the bridge across Eastern branch to Alabama avenue southeast, at an estimated cost of $12,000, chargeable to the street re- pair appropriation. The second street to be resurfaced Is to the roadway of Gth street southwest, from School street 1o Water street, at an estimated cost of $7,500, chargeable to the same appropriation. The third resurfacing job is for the roadway of Naylor road, from Alabama avenue to the District line southeast, at an estimated cost of $5,000, Each of these streets will be resurfaced with asphalt. The oiling and tar treatment for the streets include mostly those lying in suburban sections.- There are four main sections, which include approxi~ mately fifty jobs, over half of which are in the northwest section, and about one-quarter of which are in the northeast section, which will be treated with oil and tarvia. A num- ber of oiling jobs in the southwest and _southeast sections also are listed. Strong For Treaty.

HERMIT, 92, BOTH GROOM AND JUDGE AFTER SQUAW PEEPS FROM CACTUS Special Dispatch to The Star. OATMAN, Ariz, June 20— ‘Whether a man, even though a le- gally constituted justice of the peace, can officiate at his own wed- ding is a problem that today is troubling Judge Zadock Sheffield and Sheriff Bill Mackey. To make assurance doubly sure, Judge Shef- field remarried the man in ques- tion, Edgar McGurrin, ninety-two- year-old veteran soldier, Indlan fighter, prospector and miner. But the problem remains oné to be settled when the judge gets the chance to examine his law books. McGurrin {s the sole remaining inhabitant of Hardyville, at the end of Silver Creek Gulch, once a bustling town whence was shipped the ore from the noted Oatman gold district, down the Colorado, into the Gulf of Cali- fornia and then to the Pacific. Having lived thereabouts since 1864, he opined that he was “sort o' attached” to the locality. He must have been lonesome he- cause news reached here a couple of days ago that he had married himself to Juanita Sundlal, an eighteen-year-old Indian girl. She was his sixth wife, the others having died. The news worried Judge Sheffield and Sheriff Mackey, so they rode out to see McGurrin and asked him by what right he had performed the ceremony. “I wuz up agin a tough he said, “twenty miles from a minister and no horse or burro. So I sed to mysclf, Ed, my boy, here you be, a justice of the peace, with a lot of yellow marriage certificates and the like. So I jest filled out the license and then 1 got out a Bible and said a prayer. I made Juanita get down and pray, too, and then we got up and I performed the ceremony just as it reads in the book. We took each other for better or worse all right” The judge and sheriff held a con- sultation. They could not agree whether the ceremony was legal. So they told McGurrin it would be a good thing to have it per- formed over again. “Suits me all righ said Mc- Gurrin, and the second ceremony soon was read. “You know jhow it is when a man wants to get married,” Mec- Gurrin sald after the wedding. “He sho gets the fever powerful bad. There ain't no hemmin' and hawin’ when the right gal comes along. If there is, then she ain't the right un. Here I wuz lone- some, like when one day I seen this Indian gal peepin’ at me from behind a cactus. I paid no atten- tion to her, but every day she'd come back. Then I woke up and decided she'd taken a shine to me. So I put on a new pair of overalls, and the gal understands so soon she was settin’ on my lap. I told her we must get married and she agreed, I wuz thinkin' when you boys came what a lucky cuss I wuz. Here I have’ five angel wives walitin’ in Heaven for me to welcome me there.

SENATE REJECTS NEW BONUS MOVE By a vote of 51 to 22 the day lald on the table a mo’ ator Walsh of Massachusetts, demo- crat, to take up the soldiers’ bonus bill and displace the tariff. This vote puts to an end, at least for the pres- ent, efforts to give the soldiers’ bonus bill the right of way over the tariff bill. Eight democratic senators voted with forty-three republicans in favor of a motion by Senator Watson of In- diana to table the Walsh motion, while two republicans voted with twenty democrats against the Watson mo- tion. The democrats voting for the Wat- son motion to table were Scnators Dial of South Carolina, Glass of Vir- ginia, King of Utah, Meyers of Mon- tana, Pomerene of Ohio, Swanson of Virginia, Underwood of Alabama and ‘Williams of Mississippl. The two re- publicans who voted against the Wat- son motion were Senators La Follette and Norris of Nebraska. _ Before offering his motion to take up the bonus bill Senator Walsh of Massachusetts declared that the tariff bill had been laid aside several times in the past to dispose of other meas- ures. He pointed out that for the last three or four days the naval bill was before the Senate. He said that some of the senators who were in favor of the bonus legislation intended to have a showdown and a record vote, as to whether the bonus bill was to be postponed until after the tariff bill bad beeh passed. 4 Senate to- n of Sen-| | those employes who re al of annual compeasation ut the rate of mere than $2,500 and less than $2,650 «h. reced additic : M= pensation at such rates per N may ar plus th n at r¥ to n ir addition rate of § jand no cmpiove is t | tonal compensation at a rate more than 45 per cent of the total annual cutnp receives.
