CHINA AGAIN
HER
GOV E r NM E N t
fRv nisnntch A. r. Wlral

PBKING, May IA new govern
ment was set up in Peking today,
reconstruction of the cabinet Of Dr.
w. w. Yen, which functioned in late
1924 before Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang
became a dominant figure in the cap
ital. The new cabinet announced the
presidency vacant by virtue of the
resignation of President Tsao Kun on
May L. and that it would assume the
functions of the chief executive.
Although the new regime is with
out the status of ruling cabinet, 1t
ia understood that it will operate as
the executive with the consent of the
military factions in actual control of
the situation. Chief among the mill
tary authorities concerned are Mar
shal WI Pei-Fu. leader Of the old
Chihli party; Marshal Chang Tso-Lin'
dictator of Manchuria, and General LII
Ching-Lin, risen to power through his
command of the Manchurian-Shant
levfes whose pressure caused the
withdrawal of the national armies
from the capital.
Dir. Yen has assumed for the time
being the posts Of premier and for
eign minister although the name or
Alfred SEE has been announced as for
eign minister. DR.. v. X. Wellington
Koo, former minister to Great Brit
tin and the United States, becomes
minister of finance The Yen regime
represents a compromise between the
political views of Marshals WI and
Chang, and it is likely that several
shifts will be made later to conform
to changing political situation.
There has been little effort by the
/ victorious allies to pursue the retreat
| ing national armies beyond Napkow
Pass northwest of Peking. The ma
tional armies are believed to be badly
provisioned, and it begins to look like
it was part of the allies strategy to
starye them out rather than fight

BISHOP, Calf, May 1S.-For the
second time within less than two
years the Los Angeles aqueduct.
feeder for the Los angeles water
supply from owens valley was dyna-
mited early today.
The blast was set at a point in
the water line about so miles south
of Bishop.
The explosion today was in the
open cement line canal and hole
about ten feet in width was torn
in the bottom of the ditch. The
water was turned off and repairs
started.
While the entire community ex-
citedly discussed this latest develop
ment in the water war between the
not a single person could be found
who will admit knowing who lit
the fuse.
The situation is the same as that
which existed here May 81, 1924, the
date of the former dynamiting and
for which no arrests were made.
Todays crisis was the third high
light in the feud between the valley
and the city. The first came with
the dynamiting of May, 1924 On
November is of the same year came
the second when a large party of
Owens valley residents seized the
Alabama gates of the water line and
turned the water out of the aqueduct
into the desert as a second protest
against Los Angeles methods of
acquiring water rights in the dis
trict.
One of the most recent develop
ments in the activities of the owens
valley people was@the formation Of
Ia reparation committee for the pur-
pose of bringing suit against the
city of Los Angeles for damages.
meeting was held here April 20
at which it was announced that more
than SO per cent of the property in
Bishop was Signed up with the rep
arations committee and that the com
mittee would close it's books June

tically 100 pers cent of the property
would be signed up at that time and
then suit filed against Los Angeles.

tBy Dispatch A. P. wire)


LONDON, May 1S.-Great Britain
woke up today to find the rosy hopes
of last night completely dashed
partly, it would seem, through ols-
content of the strikers at the way
the strike had been called Off, nut
more through the disposition OF many
Of the big employers, to insist on On
making new agreements with the
workers before permitting Resumption
of work. 1t is even asserted tnat
some of the big railways and otnef
concerns contemplated enforcing
reduction in wages, though, accoro'nE
to the statement of Premier BALDWIN
in the house of commons, VINO warned
the nation to be suspicious OF propa-
ganda and misleading rumors, solne
of these reports, especially regarding
railways, were unfounded. One big
railway group tonight officially de-
MED the rumors that they intended 70
raduce wages or otherwise penalize
the men.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
general strike has been called OIL II
in reality still persists in as great
force as before. The miners never
have consented to resume, and be-
cause of the attitude of the employers
and by reason of other circumstances
the two big industries-the railway
men and transportation workers-.are
ordered to remain out until further
Instructions. The situation IN the
newspaper field is without change'
most of the papers still issuing In
skeleton form. No agreement has yet
baen reached by the railway mana
gars and executives of the railway
nnion on the question of re-emploJ :
ment. A conference on this suoJec.
adjourned without declston ana WIZ
be resumed tomorrow.
| The miners executives after con-
ferring for an hour today went 70
downing street and were Gloseteo
with Premier Baldwin for consider
able time. The members of the eN-
acutive committee returned to head
o,arters and refused to divulge any
| thing. but it was officially announced
that there had been genera ois-
| cussion of the situation. No mention
was made of any possible plans loi
adjusting the dispute between Uhe
miners and mine owners which pre-
cipitated the general strike.
Premier BALDWIN, in the house o.
commons made strong appeal foi
conciliation and avoidance of vindict'
iveness. and reiterated his intention
to fulfill all his promises One of tn'

WASHINGTON May 13.-Farm re-

the house today as one stumbling
block after another developed in it's
path. 1t was held up three hours be-
given right Of way an hour and half
was spent in disposing of the first
of eighteen amendments to be offered
to the Haugen price stabilization bill
by it's sponsors.

predicted it might be late next week

paved for submission as substitutes

first amendment acted on today ap-
proved by a viva voce vote, would
Ireauire the consent of a substantial
number of farm organizations before
the proposed price stabilization scheme
could be applied to any farm crop.
The amendment and the II others
drafted by friends of the bill are
designed to eliminate features OBJ
