DICTATOR OF PEKIN FLEES; cinjs QUIET Peaceful Occupancy by Invading Nationalists Is Predicted. DEPARTURE DRAMATIC Ruler Rides Through Streets in Armored Car to Say Farewell. BY D. C. BESS United Press St?.ff Correspondent PEKIN, China, June 4.—This northern capital today calmly awaited new developments of the Chinese civil situation—probably the peaceful occupancy of the city by southern Nationalist troops. There have been few demonstrations since Chang Tso-Lin, dictator of affairs for the past five years, rode smilingly through the streets in an armored car Sunday, and started his retreat back to Manchuria. He left an interim government in charge and made arrangements for gendarmes to maintain order. Generals Chang Hsue Hliang and Yang Yu Ting, remaining of the northern forces that Chang Tso-Lin controlled, have decided to maintain their armies at a point thirty miles south of Pekin. This, it is undei'stood, is an effort to create peace between the Nationalist armies and the northern people. Chang Tso-Lin’s departure from the capital he had ruled for five years was as dramatic as has been his unsuccessful defense of the city. For hours he remained quiet. as to the time of his leave-taking. Then he issued a circular pointing out that he has assumed control to save the state. However, military operations had become intolerable and he had decided to leave the city with his troops. Shortly thereafter, as bonds played and troops saluted, Chang Tso-Lin took his departure. Chang’s Train Bombed By United Press MUKDEN, China, June 4.—Manchuria soldiers were concentrated within the walled city today after an attempt had been made on the life of Chang Tso Lin, retiring dictator of the north China government, by bombing his special train. Chang and several of his aids were injured. Several guards were killed. The injury to the Manchurian war lord was said not to be serious. He was injured in the forehead. Two nationalist spies were shot and killed by Japanese soldiers, who helped in restoring order to the panic stricken city. Among the injured were the minister of agriculture, Governor Wu Chun Sheng, Governor of Heilun Kiang province; and the Japanese military adviser, Major Giga. / Machine gunners started firing at random soon after the explosion. There was some fighting between the northern guards. Dynamiting of the train carrying the manchurian war Lord—a special train chartered to bring Chang in retreat from Pekin —occurred at 5:30 a. m. today in one of the suburbs of the city near the Lao to Kao railroad bridge. At the junction of the southern manchurian and the Pekin-Mukden railroads. Chang’s Ally Quits Till United Press SHANGHAI, June 4.—Sun ChuanFang, Chang Tso-Lin’s principal ally in the civil war, followed the example of his chief today and resigned command of the Shantung and Chihli armies. Sun’s decision left only Chang Chung-Chung remaining of the three principal northern leaders and Chang’s army had been reported previously as routed and fleeing to safety. Sun announced he would withdraw from his headquarters at Tientsin. Foreign forces at Tientsin are occupying defensive positions bordering the foreign quarters. Many Chinese are seeking refuge in the quarters, depending upon the foreign troops to guard them against looting.

Sessions Continue Tuesday “After the catastrophe of a fatherless child the future of the mother depends so much upon mental conditions and strength or weakness in withstanding social criticism that the problems of the homes and other agencies in dealing with these things are to a great extent the problems of mental hygiene.” Mrs. A.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘Old Targets 9 Men, 50, Should Go to Wars, Not Youths of Nation, ‘Grads’ Told. By United Press WASHINGTON. June 4.—Protection of youth against destruction in war, by having only men over 50 enlist in armies, is proposed by Chancellor Lucius C. Clark of American University here. Dr. Clark told a university graduating class there the country’s hope lies in “flaming youth,” and that men of his own age would make better targets for the enemy than would 21-year-old soldiers. While he was speaking thus, graduating naval cadets at nearby Annapolis, Md., were being told by their chaplain, Capt. Sydney K. Evans, that theirs was the honor of “guaranteeing our country’s freedom while she sets her own house in order.” Evans pleaded for continued international peace efforts. He said the United States, as a creditor nation, was accused abroad of many things, including possession of a "treaty mania.” Dr. Clark, defending “flaming youth,” said he was glad “youth is not what it used to be.” “We want youth physically attractive, emotionally uncertain and intellectually intrepid,” he asserted. 200 TO CONVENTION Special Train Leaves Sunday With Hoosicr Delegates.

J., June 4.—Hope that their final days of life may be spent in financial ease was given today to the five diseased wracked young women who are suing the United States Radium Corporation for $1,250,000 because of injuries from contact with a radium compound. Federal Judge William Clark offered them the hope after a conference in his chamhbers here between attorneys for the corporation and the plaintiffs. The former is acting as a mediator, hoping to effect a settlement so the women may not die before the suit is brought into court. A settlement probably will be made this afternoon, said Judge Clark. Judge Clark intimated that an agreement had been reached upon by attorneys for both sides, and that the formal signing of the papers was all that remained to complete negotiations. “I can make no formal statement at this time,” Judge Cilark told the United Press, “but in all probability the radium suit will be a closed chapter at 2 o’clock this afternoon.” “I want to make it clear that the SIO,OOO in cash which each of the five women will receive means SIO,OOO free and clear. Then there will be a S6OO a year pension and $6,000 a year for medical expenses. There will also be $2,000 in cash to pay past medical bills.” HEADS CITY PASTORS Dr. Leonard C.

BARE COLORADO PROPAGANDA IN POWERJNQUIRY Documents Show Heavy ‘Educational’ Program of Utilties. BY CECIL OWEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 4.—Documents on exhibit today in the Federal Trade Commision’s power inquiry presented a graphic picture of how Colorado utilities spread propaganda favorable to their interests in schools, colleges and newspapers. The story of Colorado has kindred chapters in other States. Employes of Colorado utilities are judged on their ability to "spTead the gospel” among the general public, an unsigned letter taken from files of the Rocky Mountain Committee on Public Utilities information showed. Two schools to train utility employes as public speakers are maintained by Denver and Pueblo, Colo., utilities, testimony of George E. Lewis, manager of the committee, disclosed. The women’s committee of the Rocky Mountain division of the National Electric Light Association is also an active factor in the utilities campaign to “enlighten the public and mold the public mind,” evidence revealed. Women employes have spoken in schools and produced playlets boosting the industry and extolling uttilities stock as an investment. Municipal ownership was shown in innumerable letters to be the chief object of attack in utilities literature and speeches. Frequent articles against such projects and against Boulder Dam and Muscle Shoals are sent editors, libraries, schools and officials who receive the committee’s bulletin.
