SHANGHAI. September 26-The
battle front west of here where arm
les of rival military governors are
fehting for possession of Shanghai
was quiet this morning The lines
along the front were unchanged, but
there were indications that the in
vading Kiangsu forces were reinforc-
ing their front near Tai Lake for an
offensive against the Chekiang army
in that region.
An authentic source today reported
that Gen. Sun Chuan-fang. military
governor of Fukien Province, allied
with the Peking government, and
kiangsu invading forces had arrived
at Zakow, near Hangchow, 1lO miles
south of Shanghai. on Thursday at
l am.
The Fukien military governor s
army did not enter Hangchow. but

REMUS, WHEN FREE,
AGAIN FACES TRIAL
Five Additional Dry Charges to Be
Pressed Against Boot
leg King

Department of Justice officials an
nounced today they intended to hold
five indictments pending against
George Remus, Ohio bootleg king,
who recently repudiated his testi-
mony before the Daugherty commit
tee, and try them when he com
pletes his two-year prison sentence
in the Atlanta Federal penitentiary.
Indictments against Remus are
pending in St. Louis, southern In
diana and Cincinnati, but the de-
partment has authorized the United
States attorney at Cincinnati to dis
miss two counts of an Indictment on
which he was tried and convicted.
The dismissal of the two Columbus
counts was authorized, according to
officials because they were part of
the original indictment upon which
Remus was convicted and from which
he received the maximum penalty for
violation of the prohibition act and
conspiracy. The department, it was
added, did not think it necessary to
go over the same ground there again.
Charges in the two indictments in
Cincinnati, the one in southern In
diana and the two in St Louis were
said by Attorney General Stone to
bring out fresh evidence, and in event
of other trials there would be no
question of the Governments right to
prosecute.

AUSTRALIA OPPOSES.
Minister Says League ENJOYS Can
not Bind Nation.

MELBOURNE. Australia. September
26.-The Australian delegates to the
League of Nations have no authority
to bind the commonwealth in con-
nection with the draft protocol on
security and arbitration now under
discussion before the League of Ma
tions assembly at Geneva, G. F.
Pearce, minister for home and terri
tories, declared yesterday in the
Senate. Australia would not be COM
mitted to any agreement until Parli-
ament had had an opportunity to
discuss the question.
Mr.. Pearce said that the informa-
tion in the governments possession
indicated clearly that it was not pro-
posed under the draft protocol to
make naval and military action
obligatory on any nation and that the
council of the league might only
make recommendations.

the denomination Of Gov. Smith and
his associate elective officers. Not in
many years has a State Democratic
convention been so free from con-
tests.
Senator William T. Byrne was
selected to place the name of Gov.
Smith in nomination. The Governor
was prepared to go before the dele
gates and accept Immediately, a de-
parture in Democratic procedure. Or
dinarily acceptance speeches have not
been made until some time after the
convention.
Selection of presidential electors and
the adoption of routine resolutions
completed the program. The names
of the electors were submitted to the
various county delegations last night
for their approval.
Gov. Smith has indicated that he
will wage an active campaign for
reelection, making speeches in all
sections of the State. This program
is likely to interfere with his speak
ing tours in other states on behalf of
John w. Davis. Some of his close
friends said it probably would be nee
essary for the Governor to cancel his
speaking engagements in all States
except New England.

Lives and Property After Warning
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PEkING. September 26.-Gen. WI
Pei-fu. military chief of the Peking
government, today issued a procla-
nation declaring that the fullest pro-
lection would be afforded the lives
and property of foreigners.
The foreign legations at Peking yes
terday sent memoranda to the Chine Sc
foreign office and to Gen. Chang TSo-
lin,- war lord of Manchuria, declar-
ing that if foreign lives are lost or
if the property of foreigners is de-
stroyed the Chinese authorities re-
Sponsible will be held to account. The
warning was sent in view OF the
bombing Of the border town of Shan
haikwan by a Manchu air squadron
and because of reports that Gen.
Chang was planning an air raid on
Peking.
Proclamation declaring the Man
churian military director, Chang
Tso-lin, a bandit and a traitor and
Offering reward to any one who will
turn him over to the government
was issued today at the headquarters
of Wu Pei-fu, commander of the
central government armies proceed
ing against the Manchurian chief.
The chinese foreign Office has
lodged a protest with the Russian
ambassador here against the report
ed signing of an agreement by Rus
sia with Gen. Chang Tso-lin. the
Manchurian leader. now engaged in a
war with the Peking government.
According to reports received by
the foreign office, Gen. Chang was
accorded recognition in exchange for
pledge to Russia that he would not
interfere with the operation of the
Chinese Eastern Railway. which was
built by Russia during the czariSt
regime. Under an agreement between
the Pcking government and Russia
made last May China is to purchase
the road, owned largely by foreign
stockholders, at price TO be fixed
later.
Gen. Chang refused to recognize
the Peking agreement. but, under
pressure of Soviet interference from
the north, was reported to have made
separate agreement respecting the
road.
The Chinese foreign Office reminds
the Russian government in its pro-
test that Gen. Chang is in open re-
bellion against the central govern
ment of China and the Peking au-
thorities will not recognize any
agreement made with HIM.

The officials Of the Treasury De-
partment express much qualification at
the manner in which the employees OF
the bureau and the collectors offices
assailed the task. No order for over
time work was issued, yet in many
offices throughout the country en-
ployes relinquished their vacations
through the hot Summer months and
voluntarily worked at night without

they might serve the taxpaying pub

Paying tribute to the employees who
so served. the statement concludes:

nothing else can, the efficiency and
loyalty of the employees of the Treas

task takes it's place among the big
accomplishments of the Government

to hook his approach shots in the

With the exception of the seventh
