WASHINGTON. April 29-Checked

Harding the "Children's Crusade y

today on behalf of LA war violators
now serving prison terms, got little
encouragement from Attorney Gen.
eral Daughterty as to recommends
tion for executive clemency, and
We're uncertain tonight of their next
move.
There was some talk that Mrs.
Kate Richards O'Hare and other
leaders in the American civil liberties
union, the organization in charge OF
the crusade, would attend the presi-
dents church tomorrow with their
charges in the hope he would hear
their appeal.
There is some disposition on the
part Of the leaders to send some Of
the children back home, but keep a
party of about Is here until we get
action"
Some of the bedraggled tots al
ready are tired.
Arriving in Washington early this
morning the party. composed mostly
OF children under IL or 13 years of
age. reached the White House gates
shortly before IL o'clock, to be told
that there was little FEASIBILITY that
the president would see them. The
police stationed at the gates in
formed them of the regulations
against carrying banners inside the
grounds and the placards were left
outside.
Before their arrival Secretary
Christian announced to newspaper
men that the president would not see
the crusaders but that they would be
given every consideration by Attor-
ney General Daughterty."
A ray of hope for at least one
mother and her son loomed when Mr..
Daugherty was reached almost inn
mediately after leaving the White
House. Mr.. Christian. who consented
to see a small delegation from the
party, composed of Mrs. O'Hare and
Miss Mary G.. Fendall, we'll known
locally in social work, had explained
that proper procedure would be TO
see the attorney general and that he
would make an appointment for
them. The attorney general. after
listening to the appeal made by Mrs.
OHare. announced he was opposed
to a general amnesty" but would take
up leach case individually when APP
plication is made. and give careful
consideration on its merits"

The governor said that he could
not express the depth OF feeling he
experienced IN accepting the monu-
ment in behalf of the people of the

to the splendid sentiment that went
with the gift.

he continuet., have the people OF the

For many years they have been In

returning to their old homes or else

"The gIubstake days are gone and
the opening of the wonderful high
way marks this change. But even the
permanent residents had to find q
great dea o. courage and nerve be-
fore they could make UP their minds
to go ahead with the work which
cost nearly s, .0OO, 600" Nerve in par
ticular was needed, and in this con-
nection the governor told q story OF
an engineer who was a member Of
the survey party five years ago.
Seeing the almost impenetrable
rocks and the terrible difficulties
which would have to be overcome if
the road was to be built, he ex-
claimed, You may be able to 20 on

BAIT TLE FOR
MASTERY Of
CHINA OPENS
After Months OF Prepara-
ton Rival Factions En-
gage In Battle For Con-
troll OF Internal Affairs
TRepubIIcan A. P. Leased WlreI

PEKING, April 30.-Civil war il
China, started Saturday with heavy
cannonading in the neighborins
country of Peking. The armies OF
General Chang Tsao-Lin, military
governor of Manchuria, and General
Wu Pei-Fu, military leader of China
who is contesting for the mastery OF
China's internal affairs, opened fire
along a wide front.
As near as it is possible to esti-
mate, the front extends from Ma
chang, Paetingfu, on the Peking
Hankow railroad, thence northward
to Changsintien, IL miles southwest
of Peking.
The hostilities are said to have
been due to an ultimatum from Cen
eral WI Pei Flu giving Chang Tso-
Lin "a hours to evacuate Feking and
withdraw his troops from Mukden.
The ultimatum was ignored.
Hostilties were opened at Machang
with artillery. Almost simultaneous
" cannonading began at Changsin-
tien. WI Pei-Fu, who controls the
Peking- -Hankow railroad lines, is
transporting troops from the Yangtze
with a. view to turning Chang Tso-
Lin's west wing, located at Chang
sintien. 1t is believed that WI Pei
Flu designs to drive Chang Tso-Lins
forces from about Peking.
The fighting near Changsintien
centered around the river crossing
known as the Marco Polo bridge
Picking was awakened at dawn by the
sound of cannonading, which con-
tinued throughout the day. Foreign
residents who mounted the city wall
could hear the firing distinctly. From
the western hills outside the city
where many summer homes are To-
Gated, the fighting at Changsintien
was witnessed by numerous civilians.
Most of the foreigners returned to
the city on the advice of the lega-
tions. They were also advised to dis
play their national flags and this was
done particularly by the Americans.
One hundred and fifty American
bIuejackets and marines have arrived
to reinforce the legation. The total
number of guards at all the legations
is about 1000.
Advices from Using Tao and Shan
tung report that the Japanese are re-
inforcing their guards along the
Shantung railway; these had recent
" been reereased in number as
result OF the Washington conference.
The American consul at Marking re-
ports that two Chinese cruisers in
sympathy with WI Pei-Fu have de-
parted from Chefoo and are proceed
ing for Shan Haikuan near the great
wall for the purpose of destroying
the railroad to Mukden, thus cutting
Chang Tso-Lin's rear.
The admiral of the Chinese fleet
has notified the government that it
is his purpose to support General WI
Pei-Fu.
Evidence of the feeling of the Chi
nese in the outlying districts was
observable in Peking last night when
thousands of natives entered the
western and southern gates carrying
their valuables to safety. All kinds
of vehicles came in loaded with goods
and accompanied by women and chill
dren. Inside the gates the Chinese
transported their money and jewelry
to the banks. The firing appeared
to diminish when darkness fell.
