NORTH AND SOUTH
 OF CHINA JOINING
Negotiations for Peace Are Now
 Under Way

Picking, Mag .26.--(By Associated rress) -Gen. Wu Pei-Fu in control of Picking following his recent victory over Gen. Chang Tso-Lin has opened direct negotiations with Sun Yat Sen, head of the southern government at Canton. This movement it is believed,
 has brought nearer the unification of the north and south which have been separated almost continuously since
 the formation of the republic ten years ago.
 Dr. Sun is understood to have indi-
 cated his willingness to abandon the southern government and unite the
 country on two conditions; first that
 the parliament instituted in the first year of the republic be assembled and second, that Hsu Shin Chang, president of the Picking government resign In favor of a chief executive to be elected by the parliament In oth- CT words, Dr. Sun desires that both the Picking and Canton governments be superseded by a regime represent ing the entire coutnry.
 Advices received by the foreign le- gations here from Canton. the Yang tze valley and other points in the in- terior say that the country was never in a better mood for the restoration of order Public demonstrations are being held, the speakers demanding that the. burden of the upkeep of vast AL ..~- civic commercial organizations are de- scribing the bankrupt condition of the country, declaring that now is the time to act is China ever intends to get on her feet and emphasizing the hopes expressed by the powers at the Washington conference.

Observation-Disclosures Of COpiah
county are facing arduous labor in
their efforts to positively identify the
charred and mutilated body of a WON
an found last Tuesday in dense woods
near Dentyille, although the finding
Of a keyring in the ashes of the fire
gave rise to the belief that the Victim
was possibly Ada Deuer, Of Warsaw :,
Texas. The metal tag, attached TO the
keyring found, bore this name and ad-
dress. but thus far no further evil
dence to support this theory has been
received by the officials. No word has
yet been received from the Texas
town regarding this woman
Other clews, connecting other WON
en- with the case, have been disCov-
cred. However, authorities are at
tempting to trace several women to
learn If they were still alive.
One theory being worked upon deals
with the same party of magazine
agents-iour women and three men
Of which Miss Deuer was supposed
to have been a member. This theory
is that the murdered woman was not
Miss Deuer, but another member OF
the party. This theory, however,
makes it essential that Miss Deuer bs
located.
A second theory deals with another
woman, who was seen in this city
In the company OF Il man in a ChevrO,

couple spent the night in the public
camping grounds here. The man was
! apparently about so years OF age, and
the couple seemed well supplied with
a camping outfit, This man is being
traced. 1t has been determined that
this nan left Ha2lehurst by the road
along which the charred and INITIATED
body was found.
Still a third theory deals with a mar
who some time ago attacked a girl at
Canton. Miss. Tho gin. was rescued by
a negro at that time, the negro be
ing rewarded with a large sum of
money, COpiah authorities now think
that this same mar may have been

Two Thousand Persons in Court House
When Deputies and Former Jailer
Are Wounded in Shooting
Episode.

Ardmore, Okla.-Another dramatic
scene familiar to the western settlers
of a quarter of a century ago, stirred
Ardmore, when five men, two of them
former deputies under the ousted sher.
If, Buck" Garrett, were wounded
during a shooting affray in the county
attorneys office in the court house
here.
Mere than 1000 persons we're in the
district court room, offices and corri.
doris, when the first shot was fired.
The crowd almost doubled within d
few minutes.
Bud Ballew, chief deputy under for
mer Sheriff Garrett, was shot through
the right leg.
Bill Whitson, another Of CARROTS
deputies, was shot in the left arm and
bones fractured.
Deputy Sheriff Robert P. Short was
shot in the left arm and cut by broken
glass.
Deputy Sheriff Cowles was wounded
in the body, how serious has not yet
been determined.
E. j. Bird, jailer under Garrett, was
shot in the left hand and suffered lac
e~rations from broken glass.
The trouble is said to have started
In a personal encounter between Tick
Inspector W. P. (Skeet) Martin and
Acting Sheriff Ewing C. London in the
office of County Attorney Mathers.
The crowd had been attracted to the
building by the meeting Of the county
commissioners, who were to select a

jury last Friday. London Is a promi.
ment man and has been bitterly op.

distant relative Of London, opposed
London's appointment. He is said tc
have entered the office of the county

RESIGNS TO

ON MARCH l..
TOO MUCH WORK, REASON

Yearly-EasiIy the Best
Known Federal Judge.

Chicago,-Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands has resigned from the federal
bench. He sent his resignation for
ward to President Harding by mail,
asking to be relieved of his duties
on March /. Then in his chambers
in the federal building judge issued a
26-word statement explaining his act.
The resignation was net entirely a
surprise. Ever since the judge &C.
cepted the position as commissioner
of organized baseball, nearly two
years ago he has been the storm CEN
ter of several congressional protests.
1t was charged repeatedly that his
duties as baseball commissioner would
interfere with his duties on the fed
eral bench where he has won fame.
After Is months he has become con-
WINGED that the holding of both jobs
Is too arduous for one man.
"There are not sufficient hours in
the day for all these activities" mis-
simple statement said. Therefore, |
have forwarded my resignation to the
president to take effect March l.
Judge Lands accepted the position
Of the "czar of baseball" carrying
with is a salary of 100000 a year and
expenses, after 1t had been offered
him by the unanimous action of the
owners OF the IL major league base
bal clubs. His appointment came at
a time when the baseball world was
shaken by the expulsion Of eight Chi
cago White Sox players on charges
of throwing" the 1919 world series
to Cincinnati. The magnates realized
that a strong nan was needed to re-
store public confidence.
The onslaught which the judge
knew would come, was not long in
Undertaking.. Impeachment proceed
ings were started at Washington, I'm
perturbed, however, the judge went
his way, administering his duties on
the bench in the winter time, while
he gave much of the summer months
to the baseball world. Attacks In
| Congress failed.
In the resignation Of Judge Lands
the federal bench has lost its best
known member. Though his manner
of administering justice hes made
him many enemies among the politi-
clans, the lawyers and the criminals,
it has made him countless friends
among the ordinary citizens.
Appointed to the federal bench on
March %, 1905, by the late President
Theodore Roosevelt, he first gained
| fame two years lates when he heard
the case against the Standard on
| Company and fined it 500. 900, 900 for
rebating. Later he exposed numerous
corrupt rings cf blackmailers, bank
rupts, loan sharks and stock swim
dlers. His unique manner in dealing
with those cases, taking an active
part in questioning witnesses, made
his courtroom the best known in the
United States.
