WASHINGTON, May 6. With the!

These senators will be the permanent successors, until the ends of their terms, at least of Penrose and Knox. But it is not in these senatorial c hoices that the largest Interest in the Pennsylvania primaries lies. The big fight m Pennsylvania is on the governorship, and the chief reason for Its interest lies in the fact that Gifford

Tenor Leaves for Qimate Change to Regain Health

(By Associated Press.) PEKING, May 6. Sweeping governmental changes followed today the success of General We Pei-Fu in winning the military mastery at Peking. President Hsu Shih-Chang issued a mandate dismissing Premier Liang Shih-Ti and ordering his arrest. Prime Minister Chang Hu and Minister of Communication Yeh Kung-Oho also were dismissed and their arrest was ordered. General Chang Tso-Lin the Manchu leader defeated by Wu Pei-Fu In the campaign just ended, is dismissed from his office of instOctor general of Manchuria. Premier Liang Shih-Yi, who is now in TienTsin where he has been on

leave for several months, is charged with conniving with Chang Tso-Lin to promote civil war.

Pinchot is a candidate. Pinchot is run- j in Indiana. The federal director of

opoKane, wasn., unaer aaie ui Aym 22, reports labor conditions throughout the state as showing gradual improvement Farm help is in demand, with a slight shortage. There is an

ning for the Republican nomination for governor on an anti-organization basis. The Republican organization in the state wobbled a good deal in the early stages of the fight and made several abortive and. in the judgment of politicians, seriously blundering moves. At one time there were as many as five organization candidates for the nomination. In due course, however, the organl zation pulled itself together and showed enough power of discipline to eliminate all but one, so that the fight is now a square one between Pinchot and the organization candidate. Alter.

Pinchot's Support. I

While it is correct to describe the fight as one of organization candidate versus anti-organization candidate, it is also a fact that a large and powerful wing of what used to be the Republican organization is now in a state of disaffection, and under the leadership of one of the most powerful of the old organization chieftains, is supporting Pinchot. It. Is because Pinchot will have the hulk of the old Roosevelt votes in Pennsylvania, the old Progressive vote, and the vote of Republicans with a tendency toward independence, plus a considerable portion of what was not long ago an integral part of the organization it is because of this that

Tinchot is believed to have a chance'

of winning far beyond what would normally be the case in a state where the organization ordinarily manages things so successfully as it commonly

themselves together and have agreed !

upon one man, McSparran, who is universally described as the best they rould have chosen. Because of this, the Democrats- believe that they may hav some chance to elect their candidate for governor in November. This is in the nature pf things a very long chance. It has- been 30 years since the Democrats elected a governor in Pennsylvania. As regards the Pennsylvania senatorships. it is generally conceded, even by the Democrats themselves, that the men who get the Republican nomination also will carry the election and will be the successors of Knox and Penrose. As regards one of the senatorshins, the one fro mthe western end of the tate. this situation also has simplified

itself to the point where there is but one candidate a comparatively young lawver named Reed, who is a member of the same law firm of which the late Senator Knox was the head. Reed Capable. Reed certainly will be one of the next senators from Pennsylvania, and everybody, including the Democratic leaders, concede that while he is a comparatively young man, he has great ability, and has it in him to bulk as large in the senate, after he has had experience, as any of the well

known Pennsylvania senators of the past. As regards the other senatorship, there are two candidates: One is George Wharton Pepper, who was appointed last January to take the place of Penrose until the end of the present session. Against Pepper there is

one candidate, a representative of rail

road labor, named William J. Burke. Burke is now one of the congressmen at-large from Pennsylvania. He is

an effective campaigner and

Under date of April 29 the federal director for Kansas reports that weather conditions are unfavorable, retarding Industrial upward movement, but that the prospects are very encouraging. Building Activity "There has been a large absorption of labor in Baltimore, Md. Great building activity is going on at that point. Kentucky has not shown much

change in activity in the past month. The west north-central district, comprising the states of Minnesota, Iowa,

Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, all are entering upon an era of considerable actual shortage of experienced farm help."

NEW YORK,' May 6 April broke all previous records for the amount of. construction started according to the F. W. Dodge company. There was

an increase in every important class of construction projects, even in industrial plants which have been the

last group to pick up. . j

Building contracts in the middle-Atlantic states (eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia and the Carolinas) amounted to f 48,663,000 which was an increase of nine percent

over the preceding month and of 78 percent over April, 1921. Last month's totl included $20,299,000 for residences; $9,598,000 for publice works and utilities; $6,980,000 for business buildings, and $6,409,000 for educational buildings. In western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee,

they were $46,478,000. This figure was 23 percent greater than that of the previous month and 10 percent greater than the total for April 1, 1921. Contracts awarded in the central west (comprising Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri

and portions of eastern Kansas and Nebraska) were $90,023,000 the largest monthly total for this district since April, 1920.' Last month's total was six percent ahead of the previous month and 20 percent ahead of the corresponding month of last year. In Minnesota, the Dakotas and northern Michigan, building contracts were $71,986,000. This total was 20 percent under the preceding month and four percent over that of April, 1921.

TIENTSIN, May 6. General Wu Pei-Fu, victor in the civil war which now appears to be at an end, is. reported to be at Huangstun, on the Peking-Tientsin railway about ten

miles south of the capital, where ho went yesterday afternoon from Fengtai. The retreat of General Chang TsoLin's forces appears to be nearly at its end, except on the Tientsin-Pukow line where It is estimated from 30,000 to 40 000 men still remain in the vicinity of Machang. Orders for these men to evacuate have been received accordig to Chinese reports. PEKING, May 6. China's civil war appears to have ended with the flight of General Chang Tso-Iin toward Mukden, and the recognition by the Peking government of General Wu Pei-Fu as master of the military situation. Chang Tso-Lin, who brought 100,000 troops south of the great wall is believed to have abandoned any idea of offering organized resistance. His

flight was hurried. He had preceded to Loafa along the Peking-Tien-Tsin railway with a view to directing operations around the capital when he learned of the defeat there and fled, leaving hi -disorganized -troops to follow as best they could. Half of Chang's army is roaming the country between Peking and TienTsin, all trying to reach the latter place or a" point northward on the Mukden railroad: A message received from Tien Tsin by official channels last night said thousands of soldiers were observed outside the city on their way east. , Capture Difficult. The military, attaches here learn that Wu Pei-Fu sent a force to attempt and disarm the retreating army, but it is not believed possible to capture many of the widely scattered troops. The Peking gendarmerie disarmed 11,000 of Chang Tso-Lin's soldiers outside the city walls. Wu Pei-Fu is said to have paid each of the men ten dollars for the expenses of his trip home. Peking, after witnessing battles

just outside its walls for the last five days remains free of the presence of large bodies of troops from either side. No foreigner was hurt while inside the walls and the property of foreigners was reported as respected. An accurate estimate of the casual

WILL RETAIN DIRECT PRIMARY SYSTEM

RE-ELECT GOMSTOGK

CHAIRMAN OF WAYNE COUNTY REPUBLICANS

PAMADim aevts bitreau WASHINGTON, May 6. One of the questions which will be voted upon at the primary election in Main next month which is of national interest is

whether that state shall retain the direct primary system. Both the Republican and Democratic parties in Maine have declared in their platforms as favoring the re-establishment of the nominating conventions. In political circles in Washington

there appears to be a decided sentiment against the direct primaries. It is not confined to any particular political group, either, as it has spread rapidly since the recent airing of the Newberry scandal resulting from the Michigan primary election two years ago.

In New York state the primary elec

tion already is a thing of the past. The legislature in that state, after a long investigation, has revised the election laws and this year candidates for state offices and for United States

senator will be nominated at conven

tions, for the first time since 1912. Minnesota Scheme

Minnesota has recently develop id a

scheme of county delegate conventions which practically determine the candidates to be voted upon later at a state-wide primary election, which is, in reality, nothing more than a referendum of party action. It is regarded as a 6tep which will eventually lead

to a complete elimination of the primary. It is recalled that two years ago the question of rescinding the primary nominating election law in Indiana was raised. The plan met with considerable favor, also considerable opposition, and in the end the legislature passed it up. In the recent primary election in Indiana only a small percentage of the registered Republican and Democratic vote was cast, but the expense to the state was as great oa thnnch a "full vntp had been nolled.

one vote over Lewis c. Niewoehner. The vote stood: Comstock, 33; Niewoehner, 32. Sixty-five of the 66 precinct committeemen of Wayne county were represented, some by proxies. Three ballots were taken, the first two being thrown out because of the fact that 66 ballots were cast while only 65 votes

ihe defeated candidate, made a motion that Comstock be declared the unanimous choice. The motion prevailed. Elmer Cruli, of Hagerstown, was elected vice-chairman; Carl Meyers, of Richmond, secretary, and H. Shuman Jones, of Richmond, was reelected treasurer.

TIEN TSIN, May 6. Chang TsoLin's defeat is fast becoming a debacle. Hords of Fengtien soldiers are passing through Tien Tsin some clinging to the ontsides of the overcrowded

railway cars and motor trucK ana rilling all available space on the locomotives. Gen. Chang Tso-Lin left his headquarters at Chunliangcheng presumably for Mukden early today. . Among the refugees are elements of the 28 division from Langfang who have not been in action. This is

thought to indicate that the 2Sth division across the Hun river has been left to its fate. The troops passing through Tien Tsin are orderly, and are being supplied with tea or water by the local police. Tonight is expected to be the critical period of tle rout and British volunteers were mobilized this afternoon for the protection of the foreign colony.

legislation until he can study the vari

ous plans proposed.

Chairman McCumber and Senators

Curtis and Watson, of the finance

committee, with Senator Lodge, of

Massachusetts, the Republican leader, were closeted with the executive for more than an hour. They explained in detail the McCumber bonus plan, which is very similar to the house measure, and also outlined the Smoot insurance plan. The senators said the president had expressed no opinion, and that they did

most of the talking. President Harding asked about the sales tax which he previously had recommended and was told that this form of tax could not be put through congress. Asked whether in their judgment the president would approve the McCumber plan, the senators said Mr. Harding had given no indication of his intention. One of the senators said he thought it was about "fifty-fifty."

WICHITA FALLS, Tex., May 6 J. W. McCormick, chief of police here

less than a month, today was the cynosure of all eyes for yesterday he matched speed on the draw with D. M. (Bud) Ballew, one of the remaining typical old-time peace officers of the southwest, a man with at least eight notches on his gun and known for his adroit handling of a six-shooter, and Ballew died with his boots on. Just as he repeatedly predicted he would. ' Ballew's old style, single action .45 was only half drawn from its holster when his body fell with five steel

jacketed bullets fired from a newer model firearm by a man trained for years in the Texas Rangers. Ballew, until a few weeks ago a deputy sheriff of Carter county, Okla., gunfighter extraordinary and in private life a wealthy stockman, came to Wichita Falls to act as judge in the annual Southwestern Round-up. , For a score of years or more Oklahoma and Texas had known him in his peacable moments as a daring, fearless guardian of the law, van

quisher in man to man pistol duels of more than half a dozen truly western bad men. i .

Reverted to Type. In his cups, Ballew reverted to the type extant in the pre-statehood days, when the "territory" harbored only a comparatively few well-meaning citizens, and who found the laxer laws there more in keeping with their temperaments. Driflking, Ballew was seized with an uncontrolable desire to flourish his shooting irons, shout Indian war whoops and send volley after volley of shots splitting the air as fast as he could work his thumb on the hammers. Chief McCormick yesterday feared such an outbreak, he said. Within the past fortnight Ballew on two occasions had shot up small Oklahoma towns in broad daylight. Word came to the chief that Ballew was drinking and might start trouble. The officer went to a soft drink parlor, observed Ballew, and, tapping him

on the shoulder, charged him with drunkenness and demanded his pistol. Ballew turned half about with the

remark: "Hell, you're out o' luck.

(By Associated Press) GENOA, May 6. The most critical stage of the international economic conference was reached today, arising through the differences in the ranks of the allies', delegates on the memorandum of Russia and through tho attitude of the Russians themselves, it was declared this afternoon by an official Italian spokesman. "This crisis," he said, . "is more grave than the one the conference sustained after the signing of the Rus-so-German treaty at Rapallo on Easter Sunday. The conference between Foreign Ministers Schanzer of Italy and Jaspar of Belgium created however, a good Impression. There are difficulties, but they are not insurmountable." Bad Impression The Russians, on the other hand, created a distinctly bad impression

of the conference at the Villa de Albertes with Sir Laming Worthington Evans and Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great Britain last evening. They (the Russians) asked billions and billions of gold francs, and they did not ask them in the form of credii in which they can buy goods, but in cash in gold. Russia's reply to the allies memorandum expected to be ready Sunday or Monday will be a distinctly conciliatory document, not intended to break off negotiations Foreign Minister Tchitcherin said today. It will, however, he declared, firmly state Russia's inability to comply with the terms offered.

GENOA, May 6. Whether the meeting today between M. Barthou and Mr. Lloyd George the chief French and British delegates would open the way for liquidation of the vital issues remaining before the conference was the question animating all Genoa today. M. Barthou telegraphed that he wished to see the British prime minister as soon as possible after his arrival from Paris. The main point of difference between the delegations concerns the property clause of the allied memorandum to the Russians. What M. Barthou freshly instructed Premier Poincare would have to say to Lloyd George on this point was of greatest interest and the possibility of adjusting this difference aroused apprehension. This especially in view of the report from source that Lloyd George is determined the Russian memorandum shall stand and will probably return to London at once if it is not accepted by France and Belgium as framed. Other Questions Other questions for discussion are the non-aggressive pact proposed by Mr. Lloyd George and possibly Ger

(By Associated Press) BRUSSELS, May 6. Belgian forces in Germany are being reinforced. Two thousand men, their staff of officers and 1,100 horses are to leave for the occupied area today and Monday. The measure is due to the recent series of frequent aggressions in which. Belgian soldiers have been victims. The latest of these affairs occurred at Homberg, near Essen, on Thursday, when two German civilians wounded Belgian Lieut. Bronne with revolvers.
