Caspian sea, last month with the frag-

Denekin's soldiers offered to join

CARRIES CALIFORNIA
Johnson Defeats Hoover In Pri-
mary Ballot.
No Majority For Any One Candidate
In Indiana Which Means Unin-
structed Delegation.

San Francisco-Delegates pledged
to support Senator Hiram W. John
son for the presidential nomination at
the Republican national convention
maintained their early lead over the
group pledged to the candidacy of
Herbert Hoover according to late re-
turns from presidential preference
primary in California.
On the basis Of returns throughout
the state, Johnson will lead Hoover by
126,OOO votes, if the same ratio is
maintained.
Ralph P. Merit, campaign manager
for Hoover, has conceded the election
of the Senator Johnson group of dele
gates.
Like good sportsmen, we concede
the victory and congratulate the win
ner," he said.
"The issue represented by Hoover
will continue to command the atten-
tion Of the country and eventually of
the Republican convention" Merritt
the presidency"
The Johnson managers assert that
the sweep by Johnson eliminates
Hoover as a contender in the fight fo1
the nomination at Chicago, and an
nounce that they will send an organ
ization into Oregon to stage the John
son fight in the primaries there.
Wood Ahead In Indiana.
Indianapolis General Leon
ard Wood had lead of more than
1000 votes in the contest for the In
diana Republican presidential prefer
ence vote when 1882 out of 1887 pre-
cihcts in the statewide primary had
been tabulated.
These returns were gathered from
50 of the 80 counties in the state
Senator Hiram Johnson of California
was running second, with Governo,
LoWden of Illinois third and Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio fourth
Unless one of the candidates oh
tains a majority of the votes cast
which on the face Of the early returns
seems improbable, Indiana's delega
tion to the Republican national con
vention in Chicago will go without in
structions, unless instructed by the
state convention. The delegates tt
the national convention will be chose1
at the state convention.

FAR EAST ATHLETES
TO ENTER OLYMPlCS
Big Sporting Boom Now On in
Various Oriental Countries.
Interest in American Games In China
Has Caused Demand for Native
Amateur Athletic Association
Skating Popular.

Athletes from China, Japan, the
Philippines and other far Eastern
countries may be contenders for hon
ors at the seventh Olympiad, to be
held at Antwerp next August, and for
a certainty will be formidable con-
tenders at succeeding Olympiads, so
keen has become the interest fostered
by the Y. M. G. A. in these countries.
In China, particularly, the interest in
American athletics has caused a de-
mand to come from all parts of this
great new republic for native ma
tional amateur athletic association.
R. A. Leake, physical director for
the "Y" at Foochow, China, reports
that "the need for this has grown
during the last few years, owing to in
tersectional athletics and China's par
ticipation in the far Eastern Olym-
pics, held at Manila. On the occasion
of the assembling Of the Chinese team
Of more than one hundred picked men
at Manila, it was decided to make a.
start toward organizing federation.
A committee was appointed to draft
and present such a constitution and
bylaws. This has been done, and it
has been distributed for correction and
criticism. The completion Of the or
ganization certainly will be effected
during the coming year."
A great rivalry in American ath-
letics has sprung up between China
and Japan since the Chinese athletes
outpointed the Japanese in the far
Eastern Olympics last summer, al
though the meet was won by the Phil
ippine islanders.
Skating and skiing have become pop
ular in Japan, and, although that coun-
try is called the Land Of the Cherry
Blossoms, parts Of it have heavy falls
of snow and several weeks Of splendid
ice each winter. China has taken the
hint from Japan, and an Oriental
Johnnie Nilsson may appear on sport
program in the not distant future. The
American swing and the American
"pep" are rapidly being acquired by
the far Eastern athletes, who are get
ting down to a real training basis.
Baseball, football, and basketball, in
addition to track and field sports, are
rapidly growing in popularity in many
parts of China. John Bradshaw, physi-
cal director of the "Y'' at Annoy, China,
writes: "The basketball league has
! proved a splendid success. Large
crowds have attended the games and
| a great deal of interest has been
shown, so that even the middle schools
have taken up this sport"
| poland looks to the United State
for financial aid," says dispatch, an
the natural remark is that everybod
Is doing it.

Poles.
Bolsheviki Fighting stubbornIy.
The bolsheviki are entrenching in
the hills on the west bank of the
Dnieper in a great semi-circle with
their backs against Kiev, the Ukra-
nian capital, according to information
from the front. The fight for possess
sion of Kiev is at its height, raging
day and night along the line through
the valleys and rivers
Both sides are using artillery, but
Kiev has not yet been bombarded by
the Poles. 1t is reported the Poles,
who are within % miles of Kiev, are
making effective use of armored trains,
armored automobiles and other mod
ern equipment.
Disorder and confusion prevail in
Kiev, according to reports received
here. The dispatches, however, are
contradictory, some stating that the
bolsheviki are evacuating Kiev, while
others say that General Miezeckow is
making extensive preparations to de.
ifend Kiev.

DENIED ADMISSION TO U. S.
Escaped Harem Girl Faces Probable
Death Ii Returned.

New York-Because she could not
read, Anna Sherbetjian, young Ar
menian woman at Ellis Island was or
dered deported to Turkey where she
may face death for her escape from
a harem there to come to the United
States to an unseen prospective bride
groom.
Hamppirsoun Terekelyian, a wealthy
Philadelphia merchant, appeared at
the Island to claim her as his bride,
only to learn that she could not enter
the country. A prosperous rug dealer
of Cambridge Mass, had arranged to
have Anna come here to marry Tere-
kelyian. His wife had come from the
same harem from which Anna had
escaped, he said. Rich Armenians
are planning to appeal the case.
