FORTY KILLED IN RIOTS

Hongkong, May 31.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press Forty persons were
killed and more than 100 wounded in
the recent fighting on the island Of
Macao, which resulted in the declara-
tion of martial law. Macao is a Por
tuguese concession, and the trouble
is said to have arisen when Chinese
women were insulted by the African
police employed by the Portuguese
After the arrest of several Chinese a
general strike was called by the Chi
nese guilds and the shops were closed.
Demonstrations against the Portu-
guese then began and it was in the
attempts of the police to put down
these disturbances that the casualties
resulted.

UP TO MATHILDE
TO MAKE CHOICE
OF HER PARENTS
Prospective Marriage To Swiss
Riding Master Involved
In the Decision

Chicago. May 31.-Mathilde McCor-
mick was back in Chicago today to
choose finally between her parents.
The II year old girl planned to go
into probate court where Edith Rookie
Teller Mccormick her divorced moth
er. last week reopened the guardian
ship proceedings in which the girls
,ather. Harold f. Mccormick was
tentatively named guardian.
In the final selection of guardian
today Mathilde has at stake the mat
ter of approval of her contemplated
marriage to Max Oser, Swiss horse
man. who was her riding master dur
ing her school days at Zurich.
The choice of her father, titulaI
head of the machinery company bear
ing his name, will bring approval OF
marriage to a man twice her age.
Choice of her mother would cause
disarproval of her wedding.
Before returning to Chicago she
was halted at the pier preparing for
voyage to Switzerland in company
with Julia Mangold, Oser's former Sc
oretary who had been Mathilde's
guest.
The II year old granddaughter OF
John ID. Rockefeller, Sr., refused tC
discuss her romance or the guardian
ship proceedings but took an automo
bile ride with her father who me-
her at the train.
Indications here today were thai
Mathilde would cast her lot with hel
father and permit society to specu
late for awhile longer whether thu
betrothal to Oser would eliminate il
the marriage or the break in the en-
gagement through convenient denia
of the nuptials by her guardian. Th'
Swiss law requires consent of par
ents or guardian to the marriage o
girl of Miss McCormick's ageH
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic
came the rumors that Max was pre-
pairing for a speedy trip across th'
Atlantic to Chicago.
1t was limited at today that th'
court might designate some other pei
son than her parents for the guard
ianship.

MILLIONS NEAR
STARVATION IN
STRICKEN CHINA

Shanghai. China. May 31.-By the
Associated Press million people
out of a population of 27OOO'OO0 in
the province of Human, are starving
and hundreds of thousands are GER
tain to die before midsummer. accord
ing to estimates of mission workers
there.
Literally thousands have fallen, nev
er to rise in the fields and by the
roadsides. The bodies of the dead
are stripped by the emanciated sur
vivors and the pitiful rags that cloth
ed the corpses sold for the few brass
coins they may bring with which to
buy handful of rice.
One missionary of the Augustinian
order writing from Yuanshow. said:
This afternoon l called on a once
prosperous family and found them
eating. Each had a bowl of boiled
grass and in each bowl was a few
grains of rice. The rice in all bowls
of the entire family would not fill
tablespoon. 1t breaks my heart
to see this peope dying with no pos
sible help, as the funds we have re-
ceived were sufficient to aid only a
very limited number"
In the famine belt the last dreadful
resort of the starving-cannibali
is being practiced according to Ma
Ling-Yi, former minister of educa-
ticn at Peking. Girl children are
given away on the mere promise that
they will be fed and boys are sold
at from 20 to 30 cents each.

SENATE REPORT
SOLDIER BONUS
IS FAVORABLE
Senator McCumber VIII
Now Endeavor To Get
Action By Congress,
Although the Tariff
Bill May Cause Some
Further Delay

Washington. May 31.-The common
ly known McCumber soldier bonus
plan was ordered favorably reported
today by the Senate finance commit
tee. The vote was 9 to H.
The active date OF the bill was
changed from next October l to Jan
uary l, 1923, after Senator Walsh,
Democrat, Massachusetts. told the
committee it would take six months
to get the bonus machinery in opera
tion.
Senator Mclean broke the tie that
has existed among the Republican
members on the vote to report the
McCumber plan. which is the house
bill with some amendments includ-
ing elimination of the land settle
ment or reclamation project.
Several of the majority members
of the committee gave notice to
Chairman McCumber tnat they would
oppose laying aside the tariff bill for
senate confederation Of the bonus
at any time this year.
Senator McCumber replied that he
intenGed to get as prompt considera-
tioE OF the bonus bill as could be
worked out, but did not state whether
the tariff measure would be laid to
one side or not. 1t was reported
that the Republican leaders hoped to
work out some plan by which the
bonus measure could be expedited
without seriously delaying the tar
iff bill.
Senator Simmons, ranking Demo
cratic members announced on behalf
of the three Democrats present, that
they voted to report out the McCum-
Der bill only to get action promptly
and not because they favored the
measure.
The Democratic leader expressed
the opinion that the McCumber bill
would be of little benefit to the for
mer service men and said that the
minority reserved the right to offer
substitute bill in the senate, or
an amendment to the McCumber
Plan.
The Smoot plan, providing for paid
up insurance in lieu of all other forms
of compensation. was defeated by a
vote of s to 8. the three Democrats
present-Simmons, Walsh and Gerry.

porting the Smoot proposal were:

sen. Calder and Dillingham;. Republi-
cans voting against it were: McCum-
ber Curtis. Watson, Sutherland and
