Present Pumps Will Not Be
 Disturbed

According to a statement issued by Superintendent of office Patrick J. Flanagan this morning owners of curb gasoline pumps will not be required to move these back eighteen feet to com ply with the new ruling issued by Commissioner of Motor Vehicles R. B. Stoeckel, but there will be no new licenses issued for the installing of such pumps. The law as interpreted by Superintendent Flanagan is to act more a check to the installing of these new pumps than to force the present owners of such pumps to move them.
 Several of the larger oil compan- panies thinking the law would require all pumps removed had bought most of the desirable tracts in the city for oil stations. according to a list of transfers issued today. Some of the plots mentioned were:
 Corner West and John streets to the Standard Oil company; corner Wall and Water streets, to the Atlantic Re- fining company and the old Sterling Hotel triangle, at Crescent avenue and Sterling street to the Gulf Re- fning company.

More Cunboats
 Are Expected Europe
Forces Drawing from South, Pressing Hard on Frontier-Artillery Fire Heavy During , Night.

Peking, May 1-(By the A. P.)-The battle for the posses sion of Picking was still contin- uing this morning with the ad- vantage apparently going to the forces of General Wu Pei-Fu, driving toward the capital from the south.
 Advices from the center of the fighting, 12 miles south west of the city, were that General Wu was forcing the soldiers of General Chang Tso- Lin from Changsintien, and that the tide of battle was rolling eastward toward the southern walls of Picking.
 Firing Intense.
 Artillery firing in the sector south of Peking became more intense to- ward midnight, and a small part of General Chang Tso-Lins army re- Peking. General Wu Pei-F.u's forces appeared to be developing their flank ing movements on Changs right wing, while the latter's troops were defend ing the Marco Polo bridge across the Hun river commanding the approach to Peking.
 inc pOftuSeSe ministers, here who is dean of the diplomatic corps filed protest asserting that this was a violation of the 1902 protocol. He said unless the line was opened immediate ly the allies would be compelled to guard the railroad.
 The protocol provides for uninter- rupted traffic between Picking and Shanhaikuan, which is the northeast terminus of the great wall.
 Fighting around Peking has dimin- ished a result of retirement of Chang TsO Lin's army from the inn mediate vicinity. Chinese inhabitants said today the wounded and dead found outside the walls of the city inicated the fiercest fighting that had taken place in recent Chinese history.
 It develops today that General Feng Yuh Slang, the christian gen. erations in the battle of Changsintien, employed effective tactics. He with drew south Of Chan gsintien for the purpose of drawing Chang Tso-Lins forces away from their positions. When they pursued, the christian gem erals soldiers turned and delivered heavy fire causing 15,00O! of Chang Tso-Lin's men to scatter into the hills. Feng Yuh Slang followed up this re- treat. took a bridge and crossed the river. Wu Pei-Fu's plan is thought to be to drive the manchurian general toward Tien Tsin.
 Three Chinese cruisers are reported to have arrived at Shanhadkuan aim ing to cut off Chang Tso-Lin's rear.
 The powers reported here are watching events closely. A French gunboat has arrived off Taku, and an Italian gunboat is expected.

New Figure At Conference Is
 Italian Priest

Genoa, May 1-CBy A. PA new figure stands out on the skyline of the Genoa conference. He is the Rev. Father Luigi Sturzo, leader of the Italian cabinet party, and his views, despite the fact that he has no official standing in the conference, are receiving closest attention from the leaders of the various delegations.
 Father Sturzo favors establishment of a kind of European federation, based on the principles of brotherly love, conciliation and cooperation, and he plans to visit the United States later to preach his ideals there.
 On Saturday night the Catholic leader was a dinner guest of the British prime minister, MT. Lloyd George, and since his arrival in Ge- noa he has also conferred with Frank A. Vanderlip, American bank CT; lunched with Chancellor Wirth and Dr. Athenau of the German dele gation, dined with the Italian foreign minister. M. Schanzer. and held lengthy conferences with Premier Bratiano of Rumania and the dele gates of Jugo-Slavia. Belgium and Holland In all these leaders he has apparently had listeners eager for his views on the necessity of a political internationale, based on internationa. aspirations much loftier and broader than anything the world has Ynt seen -

No Outbreaks Or "Red'' Seen
 By Officials
A ttorney t General a 1 Daugherty Is of Opin- ion that After War Animosities Are Dying Out = Not So Many Causes for Distur- bances Which Were Likely to Occur When War Hatreds Were Stirred Up.

Washington, May 1.-The United States government saw no Red in May Day celebra- lions today.
 All kinds of 'bomb plots" were secuted by Attorney Gen. eral Daugherty and other off clals of the Department of Jus tice were of the opinion that the day would pass unevent- fully and without disorders.
 The approach of May Day brought usual reports that extremists would attempt demonstrations of violence but the Attorney General assisted by William J. Burns, ciief of the Bureau or Investigation, made a preliminary survey and reached the conclusion that no outbreaks were in prospect
 Reports to the Department of Jus t1ce Indicated that although the coun- try is seriously disturbed with strike troubles. the labor dispute are taking @ peaceful course. From coal mining regions, Federal officials report that the operators and striking miners are Iat i,a;.h rom an agreement but that neither side is attempting tactics which would justify intervention by government authorities. On the con trary, latest advfces indicated that the two sides in the strike controversy are working around to the point where preliminary conferences are believed possible.
 Unlike other May days for several years past, members of the cabinet and other high government officials were without mailed threats of per sonal violence. This method of
 warning ofhcialdom of moves against their lives or property was a common occurrence in previous years

Wakenaan WiLL Not Issue Warrants For Arrest or
 UnDUccinated Children

Fairfield citizens are up in arms over the edict of Town Health Officer Laurence Poole in ordering all un- vaccinated children to keep within the Bacon Wakeman said today that Dr. Poole had exceeded his authority in ordering all un-vaccinated children from the streets of the town. He said that the health officer had the power to keep un-vaccinated children from school but did not have the power to keep them from the public streets until he proves that the dis ease prevalent in Fairfield is small
 -Dr. Poole has warned townspeople that he will cause the arrest of any child found on the streets who has not received vaccine" said Judge Wakeman. but I shall refuse to is sue a warrant for the arrest of any child until I am convinced that the sickness in Fairfield is smallpox I thorities that the malady here is not smallpox but chickenpox- On this is- sue I will not cause the arrest of any un-vaccinated school child found on Fairfields streets
 Judge SWakeman contends that the health officer has gone far beyond his jurisdiction in ordering all children to be kept at home if they refuse vac cine He further declared that he was willing to cooperate with the officer If he used rational means to control the sickness He also said that the action was highly injurious to the town.
 Other citizens are highly indignant over the-action taken to control the so-called smallpox epidemic And Health Officer Poole will stand by his guns. it is said, and will enforce his rules
 It is probable that within a day a test case will be made to try the true metal Of the edict.
