northern part of the state will be
able to drive for 800 miles along the

progressing splendidly on other
parts, with plans nearly all in hand

OPIUM SMUGGLERS

London, April 8.-A former United
States District Attorney, Leonard
Husar, and other prominent Ameri-
cans IN Shanghai are involved in an
opium smuggling scandal and exert
influence powerful enough to throttle
action In congress, according to the
Manchester Guardian of March 20.
Husar has been indicted on the
charge that he destroyed evidence.
About a year ago an American
by the name of Woodward was charg-
ed In the Consular court at Bushire.
Persia, with smuggling opium from
Persia into China. He was found
guilty and gave bond that in the fu-
ture he would desist from opium traf-
fic.
Destroys the Evidence
woodward returned to Shanghai
and shortly afterwards the Consulate
at Bushlre was closed. The papers
relating to the Woodward case went
to Shanghai.
Leonard Husar, then American Dis
trlct Attorney, requested authority to
look over the papers, which were giv-
en- him and for which he gave a re-
ceipt.
When, some months ago, Husar's
term expired, it was discovered that
the Woodward case papers were
missing. Meanwhile information has
been filed against Husar in the court
at Shanghai and he is said to be at
liberty on $4,000 bail.

were taken prisoner when the build
ing was seized.
Shanghai, April 13.-Internal trou-
BILE has developed in the Cantonese
ranks. This probably is due to lib
eral use of British gold. Gen. Ching
Kai-Shek has broken with the Ma
tionallst government at Hankow, ov-
er labor policies, and has set out
on definite policy to suppress the
radical element of the Koumintang,
or Cantonese political organization
Chang Kai-Shek is in command of
the Cantonese forces at Shanghai
where he fears being succeeded by
another general. In order to fore
stall this he has set up another gov
ernment at Shanghai and made one
of his generals, his foreign minister
who has been recognized by the pow
ers and who is treating with them
independent of the Hankow govern
ment.
As a result of Gen. Kai-sheks
efforts to suppress the left wing and
labor union element of the Koumin-
tang, the labor leaders here called a
general strike.
The labor leaders ordered the work
ers to leave their posts as a protest
against Sen-Chang's actions in order
ing raids yesterday on labor union
halls. Labor leaders said the call was
needed Immediately by $4,000 work
ers, and they expected many others
would join the movement shortly. To
days dispatches say 100000 men are
out on strike, rendering another 1OO,-
900 idle and holding up the loading
of ships.
1t was made clear by the labor or
ganizatiOns that the strike was not
aimed at foreigners but was due to
the intra-party struggle. There was
much disorder following the strike.
Southern Forces Reversed
The Northern Chinese troops, who
turned suddenly a few days ago
against the Cantonese, appeared to-
day to be following up their sue
cesses. An official report was re-
ceived that they had entered Pukow,
on the northern bank of the Yangtze
river opposite Marking. Further
east the forces of Gen. Sun Chuan-
Tong, original defender of Shanghai,
has stopped the advance of the Ma
