scribes Crime Waue Akin To Treason

CHICAGO. Nay II. ~ Describing
crime conditions in Chicago as "a
reign of terror and "akin to treason
in time of war;" Judges Kickhana
Scanlan and Joseph Davis refused to
release on writs of habeas corpus any
of the 164 labor leaders, union nlem-
bers and gunmen held by the police
tonight in connection with the slay-
ing Of two patrolmen yesterday at
the elimination Of a series OF labor
bombings.
In refusing to honor writs for sew
eral labor leaders seized in spectac-
ular police raids yesterday. the two
judges expressed their horror at the
murders, bombings and general law
lessness which have marked opposi-
ton to the Landis wage award in
the building trades.
I'VE are in a state Of anarchy that
approaches in intensity the condition
that existed during the HaymarlSet
anarchist riots declared Judge
Scanlan in the criminal court.
THE whole function OF govern
ment seems to be broken down." said
Judge Davis in the supreme court.
IF the men were q part of con-
spiracy to take human life, they are
as guilty as those who fired the guns
and threw the bombs. They should
be convicted and hanged
In repeating his declaration of war
against the ''hoodluns and ex-con-
yicts who go about posing as leaders
of labor Charles Fitzmorris, chief
of police, pointed to the crime record
of the past "a hours. That should
prove to Chicago. that the siuggers
and thugs who were rounded yes
terday in raids on union offices are
responsible for the nightly outbursts
of crime.v he said.
with the fellows in Jail, there was
not enough crime last night to staitle
a town Of $4,000 people. and the only
crime in the day was a jewelry store
robbery that looks now like fake"
In the meantime flat deniais of any
knowledge of lawlessness were made
by several of those held. Fred Nader,
president of the building trades coun-
Gil, declared his innocence and Of
fered a reward of $1,000 for any in
formation leading to the arrest and
conviction Of the slayers Of the two

General Chang To
Make Final Stand
South Of Old Wall
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ


TIENTSIN. May IL. - Although
formally dismissed from the military
governorship of Manchuria, General
Chang Tso-Lin, defeated near Pc
king last week by the forces of his
military rival, General WI Pei-Fu,
apparently intends to attempt a final
stand at Luanchow. about 65 miles
south of the Great Wall on the Muk-
den railroad.
The Manchu general is still trans
porting troops from Mukden to that
point and his generals are sending
truculent messages from Kaipins,
saying they will treat as enemies any
foreign troops that may accompany
Chih-Li forces to that region. Chih-
Ii troops are now detraining just this
side of Tangshan, 20 miles northeast
of Tientsin. and are reported to be
preparing for an enveloping move
ment against Kaiping.
The American missionaries at
Chang-Li were ordered to withdraw
today. The situation at Mukden was
reported quiet yesterday evening but
the news of the mandate dismissing
Chang Tso-Lin apparently had not
been received.

was to have been 20 round bout
for the light heavyweight cham
pionship o, tie world. held by Car

drove a snarp right to the point Of
Lewis jaw. The EngIishman top-
pied over backward and lay notion
less on the floor until the referee
counted 1e. Then Carpenter picked
up his fallen opponent and aided in
carrying him TO his corner.
The spectators We're slow TO re-
alize what had occurred but when
finally they comprehended that the
battle was over and Lewis was de-
feated there arose a storm of booes
and cries of foul from all parts of
the vast audience which drowned out
the comparatively little applause that
Carpenter was receiving from his
partisans.
From the sound of the gong to the
end of the referees count, , minutes
and Is seconds intervened. Carpen-
tier weighed 1T5 pounds. the light
heavyweight limit, while Lewis tipped
the scale. at 157 pounds with his
clothes on when the fighters weighed
in this afternoon. Jack Dempsey,
the worlds heavyweight champion,
was the first man after Francois
Descamps to congratulate Carpen-
tier after the knockout Carpenter
left the ring and proceeded 70 his
dressing room through lanes of hiss
ing and booing fight fans.
The great Olympic aInpitheater
held a record breaking crowd for the
battle had attracted widespread at
tention. Hundreds of handsomely
gowned women were among the spec
tators and evinced keen disappoint-
ment at the quick work made of the
British favorite by the Frenchman.
Among others present were the Duke
of York and Prince Henry, who were
seated at the ringside.
Jack Dempsey was applauded. as
he entered the arena and was shown
to seat near the royal personages,
to whom he was later introduced.
He chatted with them for a moment.

fiercely; Palmer forcibly pried them
apart again and then administered a
caution to both.
Lewis continued the aggressor. He
got in two lefts on Carpenter and
the crowd madly cheered him. Car

Lewis forced the Frenchman TO a
corner and there was a rapid eX-

DUBLIN. May 1.-THE reports
from the various participants in the
Dali Eireann peace conference today
revealed break on fundamentals.
The Republicans will not agree TO a
settlement of the situation on any
terms which involve their admission
that the Anglo Irish treaty is accep-
table to the people or that its en-
dorsement by the Dali Eireann has
altered the situation.
There was an almost complete
agreement in the Dali for an adjourn
ment for a week in order to allow
the peace committee to try again to
smooth over the difficulties.
The attempt at army unification
also has failed thus far, and pending
the settlement of the political situ-
alton. it is not intended to further
pursue the unification negotiations.
Nothing definite has been settled
even concerning the truce now in ex-
istence. but it probably will continue
in force. 1t has been agreed between
the politicians to suspend all public
meetings until this question is
threshed out, probably Wednesday.

FROM HEAVY

Rocky Mountain States

In Years; Two South Da-
kota Towns Under Flood
rRepublican a. p. Leased Wirel

DENVER, May 11.-Storms that
swept the Rocky Mountain states
wednesday night and virtually all
day Thursday apparently had sub
sided tonight. From Wyoming and
Colorado points which had passed
through what was declared to have
been one of the worst spring bllz-
yards in years, came reports of lower
temperatures, moderated winds and
a cessation of the snowfall which
had given rise to apprehension on
the part of fruit and sheep growers;
At Cheyenne, the storm had abated
almost completely. To the east,
west and south of that place COM
parativelv little damage had been
done to telegraph and telephone lines.
The Union Pacific railway traffic
was delayed only a few hours.
The severe sleet and rain storm
which virtually isolated Sheridan,
wyoming. had subsidized late tonight
and only a cold wind was blowing.
Communication with eastern points
was completely severed by the storm,
however, which lasted more than 80
hours. No trains had arrived since
early Thursday morning. Telegraph
wires are reported down along the
Burlington railroad and wind which
is said to have reached a. velocity of
so miles an hour, accompanied by
rain. carried away telegraph and
telephone poles. The total precipi-
tation of nearly two inches is con-
sidered a boon by ranchers and far
mers.
With the exception of the San
Juan region Colorado missed the
heaviest part of the storm according
to reports received here. Durango
experienced freezing temperature
Wednesday and early Thursday.
Comparatively little damage was re-
ported on the western slope. The
Denver and Rio Grande Western
railway reported snow on all noun
tain passes.
