"-"- i v.-v. v. , 1U V LliVaC WUlUa ncio uaiu 10 or a dozen years ago to denote radical Innovations. If there were in the United States a party that believed in sound conservatism, the speeches In which Beveridge
made his appeal to the voters of Indi- j ana would make a worthy platform for such a party.- 1 One of the most effective of his . pleas condemned the "army of governQ ment agents, and government spies, who go up and down the country, harassing business." Another object of his attack was the "huge bureacracies of federal employees that have been built up through the combined actions of radicals and cowardly politicians." Beveridge's speech were more conservative than the present practices of the Republican party are. His analysis of the present system of taxation and of its deleterious effects on national prosperity was one of the soundest and most thorough arguments that have been made on any public question in or out of congress during the present year. Opposed Blocs. At a time when a "farm bloc" holds the balance of power in a Republican senate and contributes about the only
compact leadership the senate has, Beveridge had the courage to say he opposes all "blocs" and believed in oldfashioned constitutional government. Beveridge, since he terminated his previous service in the senate, has had 10 years in which to study con stitutional government. The experi ence of writing his four-volume history of Chief Justice Marshall, and his times, is alone such an education in American constitutional government as few other men in public life have had. Beveridge in the senate if he wins in the November election will be closer to Harding's ideas than ? the bulk of the present 'senate is. Would Support Harding Harding was fond of New, and on .a personal basis undoubtedly regrets his . defeat. But, as a party leader. Hard ing will get better support from Beveridge than he gets from the present Republican senators as a group. On taxation and most domestic sub jects Harding's thought and Bever idge's are close together. It is true that in the field of foreign relations Beveridge may prove cautious in a period when Harding's policy is likely to lie In the direction of closer contact with European affairs. Beveridge. although he was out of office at the time, was more nearly the pioneer in the fight against the league of nations than some of those who got the credit for official leadership. This step of Beveridge's towards return, to public life is distinctly news and good news. He has a disciplined mind and the will to work. When he was in the senate before he was an outstanding figure. In the coming senate he would be even more so, for the competition is less than when he had to stand comparison with men like Frye, Hanna, Aldrich, Dolliver, the elder Hale, Morgan, Daniels and the like. Still Has Hurdle Of course, Beveridge has a hurdle to take before he 6its in the senate. The contest between him and the Democrat, Ralston, in November, will be a real fight In that fight Bevtridge undoubtedly can get more Democratic votes, more independent votes and more votes that would otherwise go Democratic, than New possibly could have obtained. Beveridge, in fact, is by far the strongest man the Indiana Republicans could have put up. There will be mutterings that some of the old guard Republicans, in their disap pointment about New's defeat, will knife Beveridge. But when the time

As to Senator New, it is not only Harding who, for personal reasons, will regret his defeat. Everybody else in Washington, Republican or Democrat, will have the same keen feelm? of regret for one who was generally liked for his loyalty, his modesty and other qualities he had in his person " t relations and admired for his t-ov i common sense and teamwork In lie affairs. f.r j DAUGHERTY ANSV.7 " !

The truce is operative from 4 o'clock this afternoon until four p. m , Monday with a view to giving both sections of the army an immediate opportunity to discuss a basis for army unification. The provisions of the truce are: Clause 1. All operations except ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL TO BUILD AUDITORIUM FOR RECREATION HALL Plans for building an auditorium for recreational purposes at St. Paul's Episcopal church, will be drawn immediately, according to the Rev. G. G. Burbanck, rector, following the action taken by parish members Wednesday night in accepting the gift of $6,000 from Mrs. Jeannette G. Leeds, member of the parish. The gift was received and anexpression of thanks giv en by a standing vote. I The Rev. Burbanck said Thursday in discussing the proposed addition to the parish house: "In accordance with the policy common to the Episcopal church, the parish house will be modernized so as to include features which are now a part of the program of every normal parish in the Episcopal church. A parj ish house has always been considered as an adjunct to ine worsnip ana aoctrine of the church in providing Innocent and helpful recreation for its young people and for the community. . Need Realized "Although the parish has had a finely constructed house for 30 years, it has lacked certain features which made for efficiency. Realizing this need, Mrs. Leeds made her gift."

The document is signed by Owen O'Duffy and Rian Lynch, the chiefs of staff of the rival forces. DUBLIN. May 4. A meeting of representatives of the differing factions in the Irish republican army has been arranged for today with the 'object of agreeing to a truce, it was announced this morning by Commandant General McKeown, of the regular army. The meeting will be held in the Mansion house. The great body of Irishmen in favor or peace today were awaiting the resuns of yesterday s remarkable action of the Dail Eireann in ordering the op-j posing sides in the Irish republican I army immediately to cease their hos-1 tilities and arrange a true The unexpected accession to the movement of Eamon DeValera, republican leader gave hope that peace really might be in the offering. In his speech Mr. DeValera made the significant statement that "if advantage is taken our opportunity we can have a government in this countrv which will be a credit to the country and restore ! tne reputation we had five or six months ago." Just what bearing this may have on the arrangements for an election remains to be seen. A peace committee consisting of five representatives each of the provisional government and the dissidents was appointed by the Dail to put the resolution into effect. THOUSANDS TO TAKE PART IN BIG PARADE OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS A mammoth parade in which thousands of Wayne county Sunday school children are expected to take part, floats arranged by different classes and depicting various phases of Sunday school work, and a child's chorus of a thousand voices, led by Homer Rodeheaver, are features of the special Children's Week celebration to be conducted in Richmond Saturday under the auspices of the county Sunday school authorities. Meeting at 12:30 o'clock on Fourth street, where the parade will be formed, the procession, headed by the American Legion band, will turn Into Main street and proceed through the center of the city to the Billy Sunday tabernacle, the use of which has been donated for the afternoon.

(Bv Associated Press) AMOY. China. May 4 General Chen Chiung-Min has broken with Sun Yat Sen, president of the southern Chinese government, resigning the governorship of Kwantung, according to advices from Canton. PEKING, China, May 4. President Hau Shih-Chang made another effort xoaay to ena Hostilities between the armies of General Chang Tso-Lin, military governor of Mukden, and General Wu Psi-Fu, militarv leader of central China, who are fighting for tne control of Peking. President Hsu, after a meeting of the cabinet, sent tetegrams to both generals appealing to tnem to conslaer the welfare of China and end the civil war. The telegrams called attention to the three notes handed to the Chinese government by the foreign representatives here, protesting against the fighting in the vicinity of Peking and warning of the serious cpnseuences to enma snouic roreigners Euuer from the hostilities Urges War Endl. "As the diplomatic body has given three warnings to the government regarding the present war," the communication read, "the rival leaders f-hould set aside their personal differences and strive to live up to the expectations of the powers. As both leaders favor unification of the north and south .they should suspend their war at once and discuss with the government the proceedure of negotiations." The cabinet at its session also discussed the financial situation of the government. It was disclosed that the total resources of the Peking administration are now about 150,000 silver dollars monthly a sum scarcely sufficient to pay the expenses of the city of Peking. The teachers of eight government universites appealed for payment of their back salaries due for many months. The government replied that the war had cut off its revenues, and payment was impossible as long as the hostilities continued. The teachers decided to continue work. Owing to the hostilities, almost all the plans regarding China made at the Washington conference have been suspended. The Chinese official appointed to take over the British naval base at Wei-Hai-Wei has suggested a postponement of the date of assumption, and the Chinese commission which was expected to meet a similar Japanese body to arrange for the restitution of Shantung, has also deferred the meeting. Likewise, all the international comUllSOJUIia WHICH VICIC dl 1 HlgtU !

EXPECT SOVIET TO ACCEPT ALLIED PROGRAM;
FRANCE TO SUPPORT BULLETIN GENOA. May 4. By the Associated Press, Russian The Soviet repre sentatives here announced today that the terms of the allied note to Russia had been telegraphed to Moscow, says the Exchange Telegraph, which adds: "It is stated that possibly Premier Lenine will accept, demanding simultaneously full recognition." GENOA, May 4. Soviet Russia's delegates are expected to accept in general the reconstruction program framed by the powers, although inter posing suggestions regarding its details. The main sources of objection by the Russians are the failure to include recognition of the Soviet government and the much discussed article regarding restoration of private property owned by foreigners in Russia, or the compensation of the owners. Other points of interest likely to be raised concern the suppression of revolutionary propaganda by the Bolsheviki, and th eabsence of any offer of direct government loans to Russia. To Support Belgium. "France's decision to support the opposition of Belgium to the private property clause of the memorandum sent the Russians was announced today by the French delegation here, on receipt of official information from Paris. It was added that Vice-Premier Barthou, head of the delegation, would hasten his return to Genoa, arriving here Saturday. This announcement is believed to mean that France, like Belgium, will WILL INSTALL TRAFFIC GUIDE AT 8TH, MAIN; BUS LINE DISCUSSED Discussion of a proposal to place a stop and go traffic sign at the intersection of Eighth and Main streets, confirmation of two improvement resolutions, and hearing of a proposal to grant a franchise to a concern which I would install a set of busses in the city for passenger service, occupied the time of the board of works Thursday morning. The improvement resolutions confirmed were for the improving of North D street from North Twelfth to Thirteenth; and the making of a cement roadway in the alley between E and F streets, from North Twentythird to Tewnty-fourth streets. The board decided to install one of the traffic guides, offered by a Kokomo firm, on 30 days' trial. The guide is made to sell at $50 and will be placed at the intersection of Eighth and Main streets. D. C.

The French cabinet this afternoon approved the text of the proposed non-aggression pact, under consideration at Genoa with the reservation that it must not be interpreted as withdrawing from France any rights she has under treaties. The ministers spent the entire morning session of the cabinet in studying the text of the pact, originally proposed by Prime Minister Lloyd J George, and brought to Paris by M. tion at Genoa, It was deemed necessary to make reservations regarding the rights of France to make use of the prerogatives conferred by the treaty of Versailles for the military occupation of Germany territory as a penalty for non-fulfillment of tne treaty. With this reservation the pact was unanimously approved. The form in which the reservation will be presented at Genoa was expected to be decided upon at another meeting of the cabinet this afternoon.

Leaders Analyze Victory-
Forecast Realignment or Forces Watson Followers Deny Knifing New. OLD BREACH HEALED (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, May 4. -With the. defeat for renomination of Senator Harry S. New conceded by the senator himself, election officials today centered efforts on getting a complete vote showing the exact margin of former Senator Albert J. Beveridge's victory at the Republican nomination and upon closing up the vote cast in Tuesday's primaries for other candidates. Mr. Beveridge's majority rose v. 18,768 on the face of belated count returns that reached here before noon. For 3,223 of the 3,382 precincts in ths state. Mr. Beveridge had a total Tots of 187,421 against 168,653 for Senator New. Returns were complete for 82 of the 92 counties in Indiana. . In the wake of Beveridge's victory much gossip developed in Republican circles forecasting a rellgnment ot forces within, the party. The defeat of Senator New generally was regarded as favoring an increase of power in Republican politics to Senator James E. Watson, Mr. New's mate in congress. Some lieutenants in the new organization complained that the Watson forces knifed Senator New, asserting that the chief work of the Watson followers in the primaries was directed to gain votes for their own state organization. Deny Assertions Followers of Senator Watson, however, denied these assertions, declaring they did all in their power for Sen ator New and in explanation for the New defeat attributed it to discontent among farmers and workers. Senator New failed to carry several cities by the big majorities that had been predicted for him during the campaign and the unemployment situation was regarded by political leaders as having hurt Mr. New who asked renomination as an endorsement of the Harding administration. An analysis of the county returns made by New supporters, who accused members of Senator Watson's organi zation of failing to give full support to Mr. New showed that a vast majority of the counties carried by Watson in 1916 in contesting against New for the senatorial nomination had given a majority for Beveridge. Rush county, the home of Senator Watson, gave Beveridge a majority of 623 votes. In the ninth congressional district, the home of Watson's political manager, John Owens, a majority of the votes favored. Beveridge, only three of the eight counties going to New, and these by sraller margins than had been expected by New managers. Remarkable Comeback In both of the old political parties leaders were of the opinion that by his victory Mr. Beveridge had achieved a remarkable political comeback. Ten years ago he lead the Progressive party as its candidate for governor, the election resulting in a Democratic victory with the Republican candidates running third. Three-fourths of the counties where Beveridge won over his Republican opponents in 1912 gave him handsome majorities in his contest with Senator New, who succeeded in carrying the other one-fourth. - No open reference to the party split of 10 years ago was made in the NewBeveridge senatorial campaign, and in a formal statement expressing gratitude for the nomination, Mr. Beveridge said that by the result "factions and feuds are burled forever In Indiana." Mr. New's statement was that he took off his hat to the winner and he added "I never give alibis or excuses. My friends don't need them and my enemies would not accept them. So far as I am concerned this ends it," Forecast United Support The effect within Republican ranks of any bitterness engendered by the senatorial contest remains to be seen, Jbut party laders declared that Mr. Beveridge would have their united support in the November eleetion. Samuel M. Ralston, the Democratic senatorial nominee, said he had not outlined any program for the fall camnaitrn hut riemnrrfltic lfariprs Tirvro inperity features, and some discussion being directed to the Harding administration policy in the country's foreign relations.

NO RUSSIAN ENVOY TO U, S SAYS BORAH tJv Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 4 Rights of Bakahmeteff, last accredited Russian ambassador to the United States, to diplomatic privileges and immunitr, were discussed at length in the senate today by Senator Borah, who declared the state department "never had had credentials" properly accrediting Mr. Bakahmeteff to the American government. Senator Borah, Republican, Utah,, challenged the state department to show him the credentials, "if they exist." and added that it was "inconceivable" that a man can be ambassador without a government." "Mr. Bakahmeteffs government," he asserted, "disappeared five years ago and none had yet taken its place so far as recognition by the United States is concerned." .
