Indianapolis, Ind, January THE
fight against the further domination
of the Democratic party by Thomas
Taggart has more than a very pro-
nounced form with the arrival here
today of the new state central COM
mittee and the city is alive with poll
ticians who have come to take a hand
in the contest for chairman.
Northern Indiana contributes some
of it's best politicians who are making
the fight for j. Kerry Risk of the ninth
district. The opposition to Taggart
appeared to have concentrated on
him. His supporters claim that there
are now six districts pledged. to him
and that he is certain of at least one
more giving him a majority OF one
in the organization of the committee.
The Taggart men are counting on
eight votes for O'Brien but the con-
servatives who have watched the con-
test without taking active part are on
the opinion that the fight is not yet
won by either side and that the result
is in doubt. Risk and O'Brien have
the two largest followirgs among the
committeeman but there is senti-
ment that may cause a deadlock to-
morrow and force the committee to go
outside of them for chairman.

Certain foreign advisers Of the
Chinese government strongly counseled
the representatives of the allied gov

treaty negotiated at Pekin following
the Boxer rebellion of 1900
The provision prohibits the importa-
tion of arms and munitions of war into
China. The Chinese statesmen opposed
the prohibition because ii was plain
Is an insult TO Chinese sovereignty.
Those fOTei guers who were familiar
with Chinese ways argued against the
prohibition. because they knew that
the Chinese government would then
proceed to me- nufacture arms and am
munition in Chinese territory. This
possibility. most Of the foreign dicta-
tors of that term Of peace. have lived
TO see materialize.
A military observer. whose recent
tour through China gave him a clear
ins ght into Chinese preparation for
war. said today:
The Chinese Government now has
two arsenals one in Pekin and another
in one of the southern seaports. that
