TROOPS RISING
IN NORTH 6lVA;
More Forces Landed BY
japanese

SHANGHAI, June 7.-Reports of
outbreaks of thousands of soldiers in
Shantung and the evacuated parts
of Chihli province are giving rise to
the belief that the forces of the Kuo-
mintang generals may not be able to
retain the territory which its success
against the northern war-lord has
opened to its armies. Differences are
also arising among the Kuomintang
generals.
Four thousand soldiers are report
ed to have taken affairs into their
own hands in one section of Shantung
alone and are occupying the villages.
Disturbances in which smaller forces
are involved are reported from vari-
Gus sections of the former northern
territory.

COMMUNISTS IN
ELECTION FIGHTS
Many States Begin An
Active Campaign

Active preparations for the launch
ing of the Workers (Communist)
Party election campaign are now TAX
ing place in a score of states through
out the country according to inform
alton released yesterday at the ma
tional headquarters of the Party.
In addition field organizers from
the national headquarters will be sent
out into a number of states where
special work is necessary.
Ella Reeve Bloor, veteran cam
paigner and Party worker, center of
a hundred struggles in behalf of the
workers of the country, will be sent
out on a national tour very shortly,
it is understood. "Mother" Bloor is
charter member of the Workers
(Communist) Party.
Field organizers will be sent into
Maine and New Hampshire and one
into Montana. In Milwaukee the Wis
eonsin campaign will be officially
launched with a large labor picnic. A
large attendance is expected. A rep
resentative of the national campaign
committee will be present from Chi
cago.
A hot preliminary battle is now
taking place in Oklahoma under the
leadership of Senator Stanley Clark
where the fight centers around the
task of getting the Party on the bal
lot. The close division of forces be-
tween the republican and democratic
machines in this state makes both old
groups particularly opposed to the en-
trance of working class political
party in the race.

LAWYERS CHARGE:

Charging that an attempt is being
made by Tammany Hall officials to
hide higheI-pps in graft, attorneys

McGee, on trial in the Bronx for forg-
cry and grand larceny in the street
cleaning scandals, yesterday showed
that subordinate officials were being
made the "goats" for superior Off
GERS in various Tammany depart
ments.
Without attempting unduly to prove
the innocence of their clients, attor-
ney Samuel Goldstein and Charles B.
Mclaughlin, summing up for the de-
fense, deliberately charged that those
at the head of the finance and other
departments were involved in the
graft scandal.
Attorney Goldstein in summing up
decla&ed further:
"Fof your information, l will tell
you that the assistant district attor-
neys prosecuting this case, Mr.. Ryan
and Mr.. Bonaparth are ambitious to
become judges. In this case some
body is being protected"
Judges, according to the common
practice both within the democratic
and republican organizations are
forced to pay between ten and twen-
ty-five thousand dollars for the priv
ilege of being nominated by the ma
chine.
1t is not believed that the district
attorney will sue Goldstein for libel
inasmuch as the facts charged are
not difficult to prove.
The Tammany graft total in the
street cleaning department alone has
been estimated at 100000, 900.

wing forces in the Jewish unions here,
managed to hold a mass meeting
Wednesday in Manhattan Opera

Nineteen months after the expul-
sion of the militant leadership of the
New York Joint Board from the In

own admission).

Comrades:
Yesterday we told you that the hope of keeping
our revolutionary daily paper alive depends abso-
lutely upon receiving total of $4,000 before
Saturday, June 16, and that at least S5 900 of this
must be had not later than TONORROW-Satur-
day, June 9.
We said that the rate at which the money was
coming in would have to be doubled 1t has been in
creased but it has not been doubled. We are in
danger of falling short by about 81 800 of the mini
mum amount required tomorrow.

1,2s5,927 DEATHS IN UNITED
STATES DURING 1926

The annual report of vital statis-
tics just issued by the U. S. Census
Bureau, covering revised figures for
1926, show total of 1,2S5,927 reg
istered deaths in the United States,
compared with 1,219,019 deaths
from all causes in 1925. OF the
1926 deaths, 2O,S91 were automobile
deaths. The 1926 death rate was
1922 per 100000, compared with l.
1872 deaths per 100000 in 1925.
Figures compiled by the American
Motorists Association show that
deaths due to automobile accidents
rank 10th on the list of causes. Such
accidents, excluding those killed in
collisions between railroad and
street cars in which automobiles
were involved, totaled 1851. This
was an increase of 1,240 persons
killed in automobile accidents over
the previous year. The death rate
in automobile accidents in 1926 was
179 per 100000, compared with the
death rate in 1925 of II. per 100000
A total of 1856 motorists were
killed in collisions between auto
mobiles and locomotives in 1926,
compared with 1886 killed in 1925
at grade crossings, the revised fig
ures show. The rate per 100000 in
such accidents was 1.5 compared
with IL in 1925.

In street car accidents in 1926, in
which automobiles figured, AGA were
killed, compared with 498 in 1925,
the death rate being A per 100000
compared with IS per 100000 in
1925. In airplane and motorcycle
accidents, revised figures show, l.
5O7 persons were killed in 1926,
compared with 1,71S killed in 1925,
the death rate per 100000 being Ia
in 1926 and IL in 1925.
Commenting on the rising number
of fatalities, as reflected by the fig
ures, President J. Borton Weeks,
head of the Association, declared
that while the figures present a pic
ture of an increased number of ac-
cidents, that an analysis shows that
the death rate from automobile
causes was about the same in 1926
as it was in 1925. This he points
out, is due to the fact that during
1927 a total of 100000 cars and
trucks were manufactured bringing
the total registration in the United
States, as of January 1, up to 3d.
$4,000.
The picture as presented, now
ever, of 2O,S91 men, women, and
children being killed through the
instrumentality of the automobile,
during 1926, is not a pleasing one
and is one that should warn the
motorists of his duty, to exercise
higher degree of caution" Mr..
Weeks said. THE fault, it must be
said, in complete truthfulness, is not
entirely that of the motorists. There
are many contributing factors, and
fortunately many of these, such as
the elimination of grade crossings,
the installation of traffic signs, sig
nails and the widening of high
ways, are remedial. In the last
analysis, however, the toll of human
life through the instrumentality of
the automobile depends almost en-
