THREAT AGAINST PEKING IS ENDED Peking, China, May 26.—(U.R)—Marshal Chang Tso-Liu today announced Hie Nationalist threat against Peking Lad ended after the southern army had been defeated decisively by Ills northern troops below Paotlog-Fu. Chang claimed sweeping victories on the Paotlng-Fu sector of the semicircular battle trout surrounding the northern capital and said these VTctories had definitely checked the Nationalist advance. The announcement ended unconfirmed rumors that Chang’s forces were retreating along the entire front except for the Nankou pass area. These rumors had said the southerns won smashing victories in all except one or two remote regions. FARMERS ARE INCENSED BY VETO OF FARM RELIEF BILL (CONTINUED FHUH PACE ONE) didates voting, two were with the president and two with the farm bloc. Senator Curtis, republican floor leader, who voted for the bill originally and Senator Borah of Idaho were the two candidates who voted with Mr. Coolidge. Senator Goff of West Virginia, a third candidate, was absent but his pair placed him with the president. The two candidates who remained against the president despite the veto were Senators Watson of Indiana and Norris of Nebraska. While the senatorial alignment shows an equal division on the issue, the president’s friends are expected to be in the saddle at tiie convention. An analysis of the vote shows no republican from a state cast of Indiana voted for the hill. The eastern states will have a dominating influence at the convention with the help of the administration delegates fro mthe south. But administration friends are particularly apprehensive because the two leading candidates of the party. Secretary of Commerce Hoover and former Gov. Lowdcn of Illinois, represent the party’s division on the issue. Hoover is credited with representing tile president’s views. Indeed some quarters accept the unverified stories that lie helped Mr. Coolidge write tiie veto message. Lowden, on tiie other hand, is a champion of the bill and is supported by the farm bloc. The equal division of senatorial republicans, the desire of farm block members to beat Hoover, the resentment of the Lowden-Dawes-Watson group at the tone of the president’s message, all indicate a merry convention fight. Would Join “March” St. Paul, Minn., May 26. - (U.R) — Thousands of Minnesota farmers and agricultural leaders would join iu the proposed “march of farmers" to tiie republican national convention at Kansas City to demand economic equality for agriculture, .1.

They regard a pledge on farm relief as more important than the tasks at hand,” Reed said. U. S.
