B—2 * INDIAN INSURGENTS TRAILED BY TROOPS Slayers of Seven in Raid on Armory Believed Armed in Hills. By the Associated Press. CALCUTTA, April 19.—British troops and police tonight were swiftly pursuing the insurgents who this morning raided the police arsenal at Chittagong and killed seven persons. The magistrate at Chittagong reported that the raiders, who are belived to be in the surrounding hills, are fully equip- ped with modern arms and that the pursuing forces are scantily equipped. A detachment of British troops was sent out from Calcutta after the raid, how- ever, and expects to reach Chittagong tomorrow morning. Sir Stanley Jackson, governor of the State of Bengal, returned hurriedly from Darjeeling today after hearing of the attack, while Viceroy Lord Irwin renewed the special Bengal ordinance which confers extraordinary powers for the suppression of disorder. The ordinance recently expired and was not renewed, although reservation was made that the governor general could again invoke it if necessary. Search for Arms Made. Calcutta authoritles, meanwhile, be- gan a wide search for hidden arms and ammunition. Armored motor cars car- rying machine guns were stationed at Strategic points throughout the city ended a mweekmwrélclh dy had produced disorders al- cutta, Karachi and Poona. The death roll rose to eight, for one Indian was killed in the fighting at Karachi, and ber of injured in all the trouble totals about 100. Information regarding whether the insurgents obtained arms and ammuni- tion from the arsenal was difficult to learn. The Chittagong magistrate, while reporting that the raiders were well armed, was not specific as to whether arms were obtained in the at- tack. The vernment communique sald merely that the place had been ‘Wires Are Destroyed. ‘The raid followed the ominous quiet of Good Friday.

There were enough Ameri- cans in these processions to be notice- able at several places. After the co: tions had marched completely around the churches, the priests greeted them as they re-entered the sanctuaries with the words: “He Is Risen Indeed.” “Christ is risen.” And the people responded as with one_ voice: “He is risen indeed.” ‘Then they Kkissed one another ar- dently on both cheeks, this being the highest form of greeting in Russia and expressive of joy. nounced in the rich Slavonic liturgy, the priests officiating in vestments bro- caded with silver and gold, high coni- cal hats and the jeweled of old.

COMMON GRAVE FOR FIRE VICTIMS 112 of Dead in Bucharest Church Disaster Identified—Whole Families Perish. By the Associated Press. BUCHAREST, Rumanis, April 19— A common grave will hold the nearly 150 persons who died here last night after they were trapped in a blazing Friday vigil at Cotesici. Up until this evening 112 bodies had been identified and 11 others were brought out of the ruins unrecognis- able. Seventeen others who at first were believed victims later were found wandering about countryside, many of them seriously injured in the horrible fire panic. Evidence today was that more 'g;l'- sons were killed in the stampede n | by burning. When fire broke out the | assembled villagers thought first of the sacred vessels displayed in the service and rushed to save them. ‘Then they dashed desperately for the door and there piled up to die, for the door was of the In-swinging type.

The letter, signed by Edwin Turner and John Clark on behalf of the other protestants, in part, follows: “The T company proposes {o let train No. 402, the schedule of which will be advanced approximately one- half hour, serve passengers now 8ac- commodated by train No. 5132.

By the Associated Press. | | ATLANTA, Ga., April 19.—Amid tu- N | mult and shouting the Republican State : | convention here today split into two factions and chose two sets of officers. The presiding officers of each faction conducted business from the same form, while indemonium among the delegates on the Shouts and boos greeted speakers .wh attempted to make themselves heard ve the din. Pandemonium broke at the conven- tion immediately after it had completed a temporary roll call and prepared for the election of a temporary chairman. Roscoe Pickett of Jasper, Ga., re- tiring State chairman, presented the name of James W. Arnold of Athens, who had been recommended for the temporary chairmanship at a meeting of the party’s control committee yes- terday. Clint W. Hager, United States district attorney here, presented the name of called for a vote on Dozier, and he was defillred elected amid cries of “Roll ! Dozier immediately ascended to the | rostrum amid boos and cheers, while dozens in the convention hall shouted for a roll call. Ben J. Davis of At- lanta, colored secretary of the conven- tion, charged Doszier was & “usurper of the people’s rights.” He reiterated a demand for the roll call. Priends of Arnold escorted him to the rostrum, cheers and boos. ‘While Dozier pounded for order and E:ndemomum reigned in the hall, Davis gan calling the roll, but his voice was drowned in the tumult. Josiah T. Rose, collector of internal revenue of Atlanta, stood on top of the judge’s bench in the court room, where the convention was meeting, and plead- ed _for order. Dozler said that he favored white leadership in the party. Ben Davis was declared by Arnold to have been elected temporary secretary on a count of uplifted hands. Most of the vote | came from the north side of the audi- | torfum, where many colored delegates | were seated. ‘The shouting delegates finally got ulet, but neither faction gave any evi- lence of surrendering their seats. The one which first completed its perma- nent organization adopted a long list resolutions which indorsed the Hoover administration and expressed hope for the successful conclusion of ; the London Naval Conference and its acceptance by the Senate. District Attorney Hager read the names of nominees of the State central dopted by his faction. They comprise 129 regular white Republicans, eight Hoover Democrats and 24 colored Re- publicans, in addition to the four party | officers. Impromptu speeches came from dele. gates on both sides. Apparently the best of feeling prevailed. Both factions adjourned sine die. 'FAIR BODY BUYS LAND FOR NEW SITE Petersburg, W. Va., Association to Hold Exhibition in Town in Futare.
