Lead And Sends Rein- forcements To Legation Guards 8 Peking, May 1, (By Associated Press).—The battle for possession of Peking was atill continuing this morn- ing with the advantage apparently go- ing to the forces of Gen. Wu Pei- ¥u, driving toward the capital from the south. Advices from the center of the fighting, 12 miles southwegt of the city, were that Gen. Wu was forc- ing the soldiers of Gen. Chang Tso- Lin from Changsintien, and that the tide of battle was rolling eastward to- ward the southern walls of Peking. Wu Pei-I'u's army this afterroon had arrived at a point on the rail- road between Pking and Tien Tsin. The telegraph staff at the station at ¥engtal reported that soldiers were approaching. Part of Wu Pei-Fu's army was reported marching across the country to attack Chang Tso-Lin south of Tien Tsin, Traflic Is Blocked. Gen. Chang Tso-Lin is personally occupying a special train at Chungli- angcheng, midway betweep Tien Tsin and Haku. Traffic he- tween Peking and the sea, conse- quently has been blocked. The Portuguese minister here, who is dean of the diplomatic corps, filed a protest asserting that this was a * violation of the 1902 protocol. He said unless the line was opened im- mediately the allies would be com- pelled to guard the railroad. The protocol provides for uninter- rupted traffic between Peking and Shanhaikuan, which is the northeast terminus of the great wall. Fighting Diminishes. Tighting around Peking has dim- inished as a result of the retirement of Chang Tso-Lin's army from the immediate vicinity, Chinese inhabit- ants satd today the wounded and dead found outside the walls of the city indicated the fiercest fighting that had taken place in recent Chinese history. It develops today that Gen. Feng Yuh Siang, the “Christian general” who commanded Wu Pei-Fu's opera- tions in the battie of Changsintien, employed effective tactics. He with- drew south of Changsintien for the purpose of drawing Chang Tso-Lin's forces away from their positions. When they pursued, the Christian general’s soldiers turned and delivered heavy fire, causing 15,000 of Chang Tso-Lin's men to scatter into the hills. Feng Yuh Siang followed up this re- treat, took a bridge and crossed the river. Wu Pei-Fu's plan is thought to be to'drive the Manchurian general toward Tien Tsin. Cruisers Arrive. Three Chinese cruisers are reported to have arrived at Shanhaikuan, aim- ing to cut off Chang Tso-Lin's rear. The powers represented here are watching events closely. A I'rench gunboat and a British gunboat have arrived off Taku and an Italian gun- boat is expected. Allies Plan Action. London, May 1.—Great Britain, France and Holland are expected to follow the example of the United States in sending marines to reinforce its legation guard in Peking, accord- ing to the Daily Telegraph's corre- spondent. He adds that should the situation become dangerous fusther contingents might be drawn from Hong Kong, French Indo-China and the Dutch Fast Indies.

During the ride he said, he heard one of the men say: “Let's do away with him now,” while another member of the trio in- terceded for him with the words: “Don’t kill him now. Give him one more chance to get out of town.' A few minutes later Rev. Mr, Ir- win said he was thrown into a mud hole at the side of the road.

NO BAKERS' STRIKE Union Men Have Conference With Employers This Morning and Settle Difficulties—All at Work. The question between the union bakers and their employers was settled at a conference at 7 o'clock this morning. None of the men who belong to the union were aware, they claim, that there was a strike threat- ened in this city.

Angle, ulias Engle, How- ard and Connery, who is wanted here for shooting Detective Sergeant John J. Healy and Detective James I, Cur- rier on Sunday, February 1, 1920. The detectives had gone to a room- ing house in Crown street to take An- gle on a fugitive from justice war- rant issued in Chicago, charging him with stealing an automobile. Angle was in bed. He asked the officers to permit him to go into another room to dress. Angle got an automatic out of a bureau drawer and shot both of- ficers and then leaped from a window. Mrs. Angle, a very young woman, was held for a considerable time in jail as it was claimed that she masked her husband’s movements just enough for him to get the gun. Bhe was ap- proaching motherhood and finally she was given her freedom. Angle’s death in a fight was report- ed from Kansas City some months ago which was the first news local of. ficers had had of him. There was some doubt, however, as to the iden- tity of the man killed. Angle's arrest was for a robbery in L.os Angeles, the police of which city send word that they are willing to surrender him to New Haven. Detectives Healy and Currier re- covered from the wounds inflicted by Angle after spending several weeks in a hospital. BELOIN BUYS SITE Secures Church Street Property of R. 1 3 H.
