RIVAL BANDITS IN CHINA WAGE WAR TO FINISH Country in Reign of Terror as Robbers Battle for Supremacy. BY I>. U. BESS. United Press Staff Correspondent PEPING, China, May 22.—A war of extermination between rival groups of fierce Chinese bandits, some of which have existed as units for generations, is being fought in northern Shantung province, it was reported her* today. These band;* -, who for years hr.ve been preying on the inhabitants of the district, robbing, stealing, murdering and never sparing those who have been wounded in battle, are as backward in their tactics as they are cruel, fighting with long knives attached to six-foot poles, possessing no modern firearms nor knowing anything of their use. Following the rebellion headed by the notorious Chang Tsung-Chang the entire district of the province has gone through a reign of terror. Men have been turned loose upon helpless towns and villages, looting and murdering. Recent surveys showed that sixty villages have been destroyed, the bandits burning what they could not carry away. Chang had no army when he came into northern Shantung, but he hired all the independent robber bands he c ild. The chief towns of the province hired other robber bands for protection. The robbers, thus set against each other, have fought a series of terrific battles. Many of these robber bands believe they are proof against bullets, and go through mysterious rites before entering a battle. When some of their number are killed, the rest declared that the victims died because they failed to perform their mystic incantations properly. Rebels Suffer Defeat Bv tnitr'l r ■ - HONG KONG. May 22—The Kwangsi rebels suffered a heavy defea in the north river region, according to reports reaching here from Canton today. The Cantonese troops, it was claimed, captured 5,000 prisoners and much ammunition and military equipment.

Temple avenue from Washington street to Michigan street was improved with a meicadam pavement 26 years ago, and the section between New York street and Michigan street was surfaced with asphalt a year ago. A rolled stone (macadam) base makes an excellent foundation for an asphalt pavement. A number of the best asphalt pavements in Indianapolis were laid on macadam base years ago.
