CHINESE ARMIES
PLAN REVOLT TO
GUST REACTION
WI and Chang Face a
Strong Opposition
Especial to The Daily worksr)

PEKING, June 6.-Imperialist diplo-
matte circles are alarmed at what they
term is a fplot" by the Chinese to
gain control of China by overthrow
ing the Chinese militarist agents of
foreign rule, Chang Tso-lin and WI
Pei-fu, thru a mutiny in the latter's
forces combined with an assault from
the south.
It is claimed that the refusal Of
General Chin Yu-nao, subordinate
of WI, to attack the Kuominchun ina.
tionaD army that is holding its own
west of Peking and is approaching
the capitol, was part of plan by the
independence movement. Chin, it is
claimed, was to join the Kuominchun
instead of giving battle to it at the
Nankow pass.
This action was to be--and may yet
be-concurrent with an advance by
the troops Of Sun Chuan-fang, govern
or of Kiangsu province, concentrated
at Hsuchow, into Shantung province,
all joining with the Kuominchun in
an an attempt to retake both Pek-
ing and Tientsin and confine Chang
Tso-lin to Manchuria and WI Pei-fu

Mckinley then called the clerk into

pointed. Immediately Lynch appoint

as an attempt to combat the

THOSE WHO AID :.
ALIENS TO Be
DEpORTED ALSO
New Law an Attack on
Protective Bodies

WASHINGTON, June 8. - (FP) -
Favorable report has been ordered
by the house committee on immigra-
ton for new draft of the Holiday
bill, which is substituted for the Hol.
aday bill reported by that committee
on April 26 This new bill eliminates
certain clauses. relating to deporta-
ton of alien seamen, thereby satis-
flying the objections OF Secretary OF
Labor Davis.
It is, however, more objectional to
the Intl Seamen's Union Of Amer
ica than was the first bill since a
guaranty that excluded alien seamen
shall not be deprived of earned wages
II placed in hospitals for temporary
treatment has been stricken from the
original bill Andrew Furuseth, for
the seamen. urged upon the commit
tee the protecting Of American sea-
men against a forced competition by
foreign seamen dumped IN American
ports
To Deport nohenders."
The significant feature Of this Hola-
day measure is Its provision that an
alien may be deported at any time
after entry If convicted more than
once of offences for which. in each of
two instances, he has been sentenced
to one or more years of imprison-
ment These offenses must have
been committed after the enactment
of this bill, and deportation must be
secured within three years after ex-
piration OF the second term of i'm
prisonment-
Only less drastic are the provisions
that an alien may be deported for
having. within ten years after entry,
committed an offense for which he
is sentenced TO one year of imprison-
ment and that an alien may be de-
ported for having, within ten years
after entry, committed a series Of Of
fenses for which the aggregate terms
of Imprisonment given him have to-
tailed Is months or more.
Deport All Their Friends.
Other provisions are for the depor-
tation of any alien, who may will
fully harbor or conceal, or attempt
to harbor or conceal, any alien liable
to deportation, "if the secretary of
labor, after hearing, finds that he is
an undesirable resident of the United
States; also for the deportation of
any alien who willfully "aids or as
sists in any way any alien unlawfully
to enter the United States" These
last two classes of deportations apply
to aliens who may have been in this
country any number of years.
There appears only a slight chance
that this bill will pass the house this
summer, but it will be on the calen-
dar for possible action in the short
term beginning in December.
