After the standpat Republicans
fought side by side with the Democrats

Republicans asking for great deal
of credulity on the part of the Pro-

by which the reactionary Republicans
could vote the Republican ticket where
standpatters were nominated under the
harmony program and in cases where
Progressives were nominated, still
maintain their Democratic alliance and
get their share of the patronage and

SHOT DOWN IN STREET
Five Bullets Into Body of "Squealer''
in New York City.

New York, April 29.-Su=pected of
"squealing'' to the district attorney
Jerry MAZDA, known as Jerry the
Lunchman," met his appointed death
on Forty-first street, near Broadway
early today. He was shot down by
gangsters who sent five bullets into
his body. The shooting occurred only
a couple of blocks away from the scene
of the murder of Herman Rosenthal
last July, but the gunner had less luck
than the Rosenthal murder crew. Five
policemen who were in the immediate
vicinity and heard the shots, pounc-
ed upon five men, whom they accused
of the killing.
The police allege that the men they
caught are members of the Paul KEEL
ly'' band of gangsters. of which Jerry
was an adherent. They say Jerry had
recently fallen under suspicion, how
ever. and that he was thought to be
revealing the gangs secrets to Dis
trict Attorney Whitman.
None of the men caught was armed
but witnesses said they cav them
throw revo1vers away and three of the
guns were found in a garbage can
nearby.

RUP TURE in CHINA
No Signs of Peace Between
Cabinet and Senate.
Look for Methods of Intrigue
and Bribery.

Picking, April 29.-The rupture is
widening between the Chinese cabinet
and the senate regarding the loan of
S125,00O,000 to be issued by Great
Britain, France, Germany, Russia and
Japan The minister has plead illness
and refused to appear before the leg
1slators to explain the signature of the
contract for the loan.
Several provincial assemblies and
governors whose support has been
withheld already from the Picking gov
eminent, especially the southern prov.
inces, have become so hostile that they
are likely to form separate union
until an acceptable president of the
republic has been elected. 1t is re-
1ably reported that DIR. Sun Yet Sen,
who is a member of the Kwo Ming
Tang, Or Democratic party, has an
nounced publicly that Provisional Pres
ident Yuan Shi Kai will not be elected
president.
The majority of foreign observers
here express the belief in like manner
with the bankers and legations of
Great Britain, France, Germany, Rus
STA and Japan, that Yuan Shi Kai is
the greatest element of strength in the
country and will succeed in bringing
about a dictatorship, which they de-
clare is alone possible for China. 1t
is believed in these quarters that his
methods will consist of intrigue and
bribery and not in the employment OF
force.
The opposition, however, it Is pointed
out, is enormous as is indicated by the
great majority of the party in the SEN
ate which was elected by the provis
ional assemblies. 1t is therefore said
in these circles that although Yuan
Shi Kai may succeed. In dominating
the situation it is unlikely that he will
be able to institute reforms or estab-
lish progressive era while retaining
his power by force

Hutchinson. Kan, April 29.-Neither
County AttornDy E. T. Foote nor Her
bert Ramsey, his assistant, are ex-
pressing any symptoms of joy over the
fact that they are soon to be divorce
proctors of Reno county.
While the cost of divorcing has adj
vanced with the new law, the county
attorney and his assistant will lose on
account of the provision in the law
that both, being divorce proctors, are
not allowed to file petitions for di-
vorce.
When the law goes into effect $40
will be added to the cost of divorces
However, the proctor does not get
all of this excess fare to the road of
single blessedness. True, he gets a
portion of it, but according to Her.
bert Ramsey, assistant county attor-
ney, the greater part of the additional
ten iron men goes to the clerk of the
district court
Many persons who now have petit
lions for divorce pending before Dis
trict Judge F. F. Prigg, are urging
their attorneys to rush the cases 50
they will not have to pay the extra
SO and abide by the time clause.

Swayze VS.. Attorney General ON La

Oscar Swayze, county clerk, will disre-
gard the warning of Attorney General
John s. Dawson, and will make his rec
ords of liquor shipments, as provided for
under the Mahin bill passed by the last
legislature, public property. He will
open them to anyone he says, who may
wish to see them.
Dawson held that that part of the law
providing that the records be kept open is
null and void, and advised county clerks
to disregard it. Swayze says he might as
well disregard any other law as that one,
and declares he will comply with the
Kansas law strictly.
The names of consignees of liquor must
be filed with the county clerk, according
to law, every 80 days by the railroads.
The law goes into effect with the publica-
ton of the statute books, perhaps tomor-
row.
