’ Defeated Chinese Army Starts Mutinous March • _____ 1 (Continued from page one) 1 Democrat) —General Wu Pei Fu entered Pekin today and visited the ■ president. Victirious over the Manchurian army of Chang Tso Lin, the corn- ■ mander of the central army assured ■ the president there would be no interference with the Pekin govern- ■ ment. He showed the president a number of telegrams from leaders pledg- . ing support to a policy of reconstruction. The president will probably remain in office until expiration of his term next year. The Chinese civil war is over. Chang Tso Lin's once formidable army is broken into isolated detach ments which are fighting ocsasional rear guard actions as they fall back ' ou Mukden. Chang Tso Lin himself, now defin J itely eliminated from the political situation, is in flight to Manchuria. Dr. Bun Yat Sen, president of the Southern China government with ■ headquarters at Canton, is now the [ only prominent opponent of Chinese . unification. Dr. Bun Yet Sen raised funds for Chang’s campaign but fail- • ed to support him otherwise.

LARGE ALIMONY ASKED BY WIFE Allen County Divorce Case Sent Here on Change of Venue Today A divorce suit, in which Vera G. Pervert, of Fort Wayne, seeks a divorce from Rrank Pervert, and alimony in the sum of $7,500, has been venued to Adams county from the Allen circuit court. The couple was married on February 26, 1922 and separated on March 27, 1922. Mrs. Pervert says in her complaint that her husband falsely accused her of communicating certain disgraceful diseases to him. She avers that her husband frequently associated with other women and on one occasion boasted of having communicated a disease. She says he told her he was through living with her and that he would have nothing more to do with her. The plaintiff avers that the defendant is the owner of a grocery store in Fort Wayne, that he has deposited with the Lincoln Trust company the sum of $7,000, and that his mother, Augusta Pervert, is holding the sum of $7,000 for him. The Allen circuit court granted a restraining order against the defendant from disposing of his property,’ a restraining order against the Lincoln Trust company, preventing that bank from turning over to the defendant his funds held in the bank, and also restrained the defendant’s mother, from turning over to the defendant the funds which she holds for him. The restraining order against the bank and the defendant’s mother were later dissolved, however. The defendant was ordered to pay to the clerk of the court the sum of S2O per week for the support of the plaintiff until the divorce action is completed. Samuel D. Jackson is the attorney for the plaintiff.

May 6.—The oats crop in northern Indiana will be much smaller this year than in previous years, many farmers of this part of the state having abandoned the practice of sowing oats because of the heavy rains in April. Heretofore, most northern Indiana counties produced only enough oats for home home consumption and a shortage may be expected next winter. CHILDREN IN SPRING TIME Mrs. C.

Perhaps only the fact that Bluffton had quite a number of men to use, whereas Geneva had to rely on 4 or 5, accounted for the victory. The former excelled in the dashes and the latter in the field and distance events. The score stood 47 to 52. Lough, of Geneva, was the star of the meet with 24 points, including three firsts, Hoffman, of Bluffton, also taking three firsts. Mann, of Geneva, easily took both the mile and half mile. The pole vault stopped at 10 ft. 1 in. Lough put the shot 38 ft. 8 in. The Geneva team challenges any high school of reasonable size to a dual meet, to be held anytime during the next two weeks. This applies especially to Decatur, Portland and Dunkirk. Any eshool interested write Edgar Haffner, principal, Geneva, Ind. Last week the locals won over Bryant, 101 to 34.

ALLEY AN D’ALENA TO TEAM Indianapolis, Ind., May 6. —Tom Alley, an Indianapolis boy will team with Wilbur D’ Alena, and a driver yet to be named in driving the three Monroes > entered in the International 500-mile > race to be held at the Indianapolis • Motor Speedway, Tuesday, May 30. Alley is ever an interesting personage about the track, but this year is 1 unusual in that he has signed for a ■ car a month before a race, lie tisual- • ly comes to the track a day or two ' before the race, gets a mount and 1 goes on into the race. Last year he ' was chosen to drive an hour before 1 the big event. And ho had his Fron- • tenac in second and third places con- • sistently until fire put him out with the • race well along. ' It’s easy to tell when Alley is on the 1 track. He never wears any covering • for a wealth of curley hair. When- • ever any of the visitors ask the track 1 hangers on who Alley is, they are usually answered, ‘“Our walking hair tonic advertisement. All of which get a laugh from Alley, who is good natured, and full of wit. He will arrive in a few days to get his Monroe ready for the long drive. Yesterday’s hero —Bayne, Brown hurler, held the Tygers hitless until the ninth inning, when two singles brought in a run, the Browns winning, 6 to 1. Ty Cqbb took himself out in the 9th for a pinch hitter.

vxtzvltV jo* r-iJA a B The Quality of Our Gas The quality of our gas is being demonstrated this week in a very unique manner in our show w indow, and you are requested to look at the exhibition of a tea kettle tilled with water SUSPENDED EIGHTEEN INCHES IN THE AIR above a small gas flame that does not touch the kettle. The water keeps boiling at this distance away from the flame. It is visible evidence of the high heating quality of the gas furnished every day to our customers in this city. We are glad to remedy unsatisfactory service WITHOUT CHARGE. Complaints occasionally reach our oilice that the gas is poor. In every instance we find upon investigation of such cases that it is due to some local trouble on the premises, such as improper adjustment ol burners, or a stoppage of some sort in the pipes or mains.
