Five Factions Try
 to Govern This
 Chinese Province

Shanghai, May 11.-Szechuens most populous of China's provinces with extensive and varied resour- ces and almost unlimited areas of soil of the greatest productivity is bandit ridden and is torn with the strifies of five opposing governing factions that seemingly are beyond the control of the Canton govern ment to which Szechuen is suppos- ed toS pay allegiance. This is the re- port brought to Shanghai by foreign CTS who have recently been travel ing in the province.
 The country along all the main highways, according to these reports, is overrun with bands of armed out laws and it is only possible for the foreigners to travel these by-ways in any degree of safety by first buy ing protection and immunity from molestation from bandit leaders who control the various areas. When the traveller asks for an armed guard this is provided-for a consid- eration. This guard must be chang ed when the traveller enters the area controlled by another military of ficials.
 By following this procedure, trav- elers from the province say, the way farer is ordinarily safe, but it hap pens sometimes that the spheres of control of the leaders overlap and travellers who have bought protection in one area are at times attacked by bandits whose leaders have not been appeased.
 The consideration required to pro- vide guard for a traveller is not particularly heavy Jas it is said to be about 50 cents a day per guard. Ordinarily travellers who do fall in- to the hands of outlaws do not sui fer bodily harm, but it is not un- common for native servants to be murdered ana cases exist in which foreigners have been taken and held for ransom.
 Chengtu, capital of the province of Szechuen, is reached by a journey of about 2,500 miles up the Yangtsze river from Shanghai to Hankow and Ichang, thence thru the famed Yang tsze gorges to Chunking and finally by sedan chair ride of from 10 to IA days thru the high mountains of the country that lies between Chunk ing and Cchengtu.

One Cent is All
 She Gets for Car

Akron, O., May s.--Miss Etta Me- Coy gets one cent for her automobile. Some time ago Miss Mccoy loaned her $500 car to a friend in Ken lucky. The friend purchased some whiskey in West Virginia and put up a bill of sale on the car as security. On the way back the whiskey was stolen.
 John Duvkin, chief-of-police of Ak ron, acting under orders from the municipal court, confiscated the car It was turned over to the original owner of the whiskey.
 Miss Mccoy then sued the police chief. She had no papers to prove her ownership of the machine and got a verdict of cent. t4
 Chief Durkin wonders why he has to pay so much as that toward re- placing the car. "It isn't the moneyp he says, "so much as the principle"

DEMAND FOR BAIL IS
SET FOR THURSDAY

A writ of habeas corpus was direct
ed at Sheriff Warren G. Davis of

county recently. The writ was
made returnable at 10 O'CLOCK next

the discretion of the trial judge to
refuse to grant bail.

the campaign as he had urged.
During the debate another dem

out in opposition to the presidents
position on the treaty issue. Mr..

Lodge reservations, expressed be-
lief that the San Francisco plat
fern would not follow the presi-
dents wishes.
Senator Pomerene, democrat,
Ohio, is the only speaker scheduled

Washington, May 13,--Congress
was asked today to help the rail-
roads overcome the freight conges-
ton so as to keep production

AS a means of enabling the roads
to provide equipment, shortage of

tains of freight piled high at the
principal gateways in the east and
middle west, the senate interstate
commerce committee approved an
amendment to the transportation
act under which the railroads
would be given fifteen years in
stead of five to pay back advances
under the $500, 100000 revolving
fund.
Railroad officials said this would
help, but they pointed out that the
immediate trouble called for heroic
measures to relieve congestion and
that the carriers. for instance. re-
quired 226,000 cars to reach nor
NAL.
While most of the roads were
swamped with freight at junction
points and big gateways, American

shown by reports received from all
sections. Complaints still came
from shippers, however, and the
car service committee of the as

movement, endeavored to allocate
equipment to sections and indus
tries in greatest need.
There was no embargo on the
movement of coal, livestock and
perishables, and these commodi-
ties had a preferential rating and
right of way next to passenger
train service. which thus far has
not been affected. Government
agencies in touch with the trans

effort to help relieve the situation,
admittedly bad, but not quite so
bad as q week or ten days ago.
