To RecOnvene First
Chinese Parliament

vsluorcs.doa "llPsoVTOETAOlN
Peking Proposals that the first
Parliament of the Chinese Republic be
reconvened as step toward unifcation
of the North and South have devel-
oped two interesting questions. One
of them is whether sufficient of the
original members could be found after
lapse of five years. The other ques-
ton is whether President Hsu Shin
Chang could continue as head of the
Picking government if the members Of
Parliament reassembled.
The parliament has had an eventful
history. Convoked in Peking in 1913
it was Dissolved by the late Yuan Shin
kai after it became impossible to OBJ
tain a quorum. The parliament was
reconvened after Yuan Shih-kai's
death, but was again dissolved by the
northern militarists in 1917. Since
then the members have had a wander
ing existence, although wherever they
met, they claimed to be the sole re-
Dositories of constitutional govern
ment. Driven out of Canton, they made
their way towards Yuannan, only to
be driven into another and successive
provinces by the acts of various arm
les. The stragglers drifted back to
Canton where 222 members, out Of the
original $40, cast 213 votes in April,
1921, for the election of Sun Vat Sen
as "president Of the Chinese Republic"

HOLDS PARDON IS
VERY PREMATURE
State Board of Control Will Take No
Steps to Release Milwaukee
Police officer.
fBy Associated Press Leased Wire.)

tBy Associated Press Leased WIRE
Madison.-The state board of control
today decided that it had no jurisdic-
ton over the case of Otto Meyer, form
er Milwaukee policeman, serving a five
year sentence for conviction on a
charge of larceny. Meyer, the board
has been informed, is now out of prison
on a writ of habeas corpus, following
issuance of an order by Gov. Blaine
directing that he be paroled. Wiscon-
sin statute provides that a prisoner
may not be paroled until ne has served
at least one-half of his sentence. It
is the contention of the board of con-
troll that Meyer, who mas served but
one year of his fve-year sentence, can
not be released by it without violating
this statutory provision, despite the
governors order An order of the gov
ernor committing the sentence of Mey-
err SC that he might be paroled, or
court order directing his parole, would
solve the problem, according to the
board of control.

Ex-Mayor Predicts
Ultimate Freedom
Ex-Mayor Carter HI. Harrison of Chi
cago Says it is Mistake to
Refuse Fillipinos.

Manila, 2. 1. - "The great majority
of Americans have always believed
that it was mistake to have come to
the Philippines and thus become en-
tangled in politics in the Far East.
When Admiral Dewey landed in Ma
Mia after sinking the Spanish fleet off
,Cayite- there was a large majority in
the United States definitely opposed to
assuming control over the islands, and
believe it is safe to say that this
majority has materially increased with
the years." said Ex-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison prior to his departure for
the United States aboard the Wenat-
chez after brief visit in Manila.
Mr.. Harrison was asked his views
ament the possibility of the Filipinos
obtaining absolute independence. He
replied, "For many years the people
Of the Philippines have been clamor-
ing for independence, and, if they in
sist upon their demands, the American
people Will stand by their promises and
see that they obtain their freedom.
The main reason is that America and
Americans have become weary of the
repeated pleas for independence, and
it is only question of time until the
United States will accede to the de-
mands."

proclamation issued by the Irish army
insurgents who are holding the four

resistance now being offeredas is but

American Women
In the Argentine
(By United Press)

Buenos Aires Over 100000 pesos
in the past five years have passed
through the hands of little group of
American women living in Argentina,
known as the Patriotic Society of Am
erican Women,
This sum has been raised through
various social enterprises and has been
devoted first to war work and later to
local charities, so that now numerous
worthy memorials bear the name of the
group.
A certain degree of national pride
has characterized the projects and
cover the top" that slogan long since
worn out in the United States, still
lives in the spirit of the Patriotic So
ciety's endeavors. Last year its finan-
cial force was put behind the Nc
Laughlin memorial scholarship, by
means of which one deserving poor
child each~year is now being provided
with an education and all personal
needs at Mercedes orphanage. The
fund bears the name of one of the
city's most prominent Americans, the
late DR.. Mclaughlin, formerly pastor
of the American church. In addition
to this the society gave donations of
800 pesos each to such enterprises as
the Young Women's Christian associa.
ton, the Boca Mission, the British and
American Benevolent society, the Brit
ish hospital and host of others.
This years work involved raising a
fund sufficient to support a visiting
nurse and eventually found an Ameri-
can nursing home.
2 There are as a rule no more than
5000 Americans in the Argentine and
the membership of the Patriotic soci-
ETY. averages around $50.

SEVEN ARE KILLED
in EASTERN WRECK
Seven Persons Killed and Scores In
jured When Passenger Train is
Wrecked in East.
tBy Associated Press Leased Wire,

Atlantic City, n. J. - At least five
persons were killed and about seventy
five others injured, half of them seri-
ously early today when Camden-At-
lantic City express train left the rails
at " slow Junction, thirty-seven
miles from here and rolled down an
embankment The actual number of
dead will not be dzknown until the
wreckage is thoroughly searched.
There were reports that nearly twenty
persons were killed but the company
announced only FIVE.
Most of the injured we're brought to
a hospital in this city.
The wreck occurred at the point
where trains for all seashore points
south of Atlantic City turn to the
south at the junction.
Reports were that switch had been
set for Cap May train, but for some
reason the express from Camden
came along first.
The train left Camden at 11:40
last night, carrying eighty-nine pas
sengers in five. day coaches and a par
Tor car. The express was running at
high speed when it reached the curve
and its momentum caused it to leave
the rails, turn over on its left side, and
fall down an embankment.
The locomotive and the first day
coach which was empty turned on their
side. The parlor car catapulted ahead
and landed upside down on the engine
and the next four cars, all day
coaches, turned over on their side.
An electric light pole was snapped
off by the wreckage and turned the
scene into darkness.
By daylight the dead with the ex-
ception of Engineer Westcott, had
been removed and all the injured had
been sent away.

JAPAN GIVESSANCTION

Privy Council Adopts Treaties Made
at the Disarmament Conference

Toxic = The privy council passed
the naval treaty adopted at the Wash

it today to the prince regent for rati-
fication.
The councils approval included the
provision against poison gas and the
clause restricting submarines.
Vicount Ito, reporting for the coun-
ellis investigation committee, said the
committee found the ratio of ships
apportioned to Japan disadvantageous
to the empire and requested the gov
eminent to use greater care in the
future.
The committee however found that
the Japanese delegates at Washing
ton were not at fault in failing to
make better terms. From a spirit of
respect for the Washington confer
ence in it's desire to maintain the
world peace, the committee recon-
mended ratification without amend
ment.

SHEARER ENTERS
ASSEMBLY RACE
Friends of Conrad Shear
err Place Him in Race
for Assemblyman.
PETITIONS OUT TODAY

Political interest in Kenosha today
conferred in the fact that petitions
were taken out placing Conrad Shear
er, former alderman and now a mem
Der of the Board of Park commission
ers, in the race for the Republican
nomination for assemblyman in the
first district. Friends of Mr.. Shearer
have been urging him to make the
race for several weeks; on Thursday
afternoon these friends took out nom
nation papers placing him in the race
and these were in circulation this
morning. He has been urgently re-
quested by his friends to make the race
and has finally agreed that he will not
withdraw his name in the event that
he is placed on the ticket.
He has long been identified with the
Republican party in Kenosha county
and is widely known in its circles. He
has served the city as an alderman and
as president of the council and has
always held the high esteem of his
constituents. He is also widely known
throughout the state and his wide
knowledge of state conditions is given
as especially qualifying him to become
one of the lawmakers of the<state.
Vincent May Also Run.
Mr.. Shearer is the first to be en-
tered in the race for the Republican
nomination in the first district. No
statement has been secured from NAL
colin D. Farr, the present assembly
man as to whether he will again be
a candidate.
Kenosha county will have two assem-
blymen under the new re-districting of
the state. In the second district Dahl
Vincent, who once served as assembly
man, and Willis C. Epson, both of
Kenosha county, are expected to be
candidates for the Republican nomina-
ton.
Expect Rauen in Sheriff Race.
The announcement of the candidacy
of Mr.. Shearer as assemblyman jdi-
vided interest in the political circles
with speculation as to whether or not
Sheriff Rauen would be candidate to
succeed himself under the new ruling
handed down by the attorney general.
With other sheriffs of the state an
nouncing themselves as candidates, it
is believed that the present sheriff will
soon make some announcement regard
ing his candidacy. 1t seems altogether
possible now that he may succeed him
self legally if he cares to make the
race.
There was also some talk regarding
others entering the race fer district
attorney, but each of these mentioned
declared that he had not yet de-
termined whether or not he would
enter the race.
