Pedestrian Should
Have $3.50 Break

Seventy per cent Of all traffic
fatalities result from collisions be-
tween motor vehicles and pedes-
trians," say Walter p. Chrysler,
president Of the Chrysler corpora
ton. It follows that any helpful
plan to segregate motor vehicular
and pedestrian traffic must neces-
sarily command attention. Today
we have motor vehicular control.
The movements of passenger cars,
trucks and buses are regulated in
most communities by electric lights,
hand semaphores operated by traf-
fic officers, and by signals given
by traffic policemen. But in most
cities we haven't much in the way
Of pedestrian control.
II have often thought that
pedestrian control is probably an
unfortunate expression. It seems
to carry with it the idea that some
one is trying to deprive the pedes-
TRAN Of some Of his rights. The
plain truth is that the advocate OF
pedestrian control simply wishes ia
get into the PEDESTRIANS mind that
traffic rules, regulations and signals
are equally % much for his safety
and convenience Is they are for the
nlotorist.
American cities can well afford
to study the experience Of Los An.
geles, which has learned that
pedestrian control is, like practic.
ally every other safety measure, 9
matter Of education. As pointed out
by E. B. Lefferts, manager OF the
public safety section Of the Auto
mobile club Of Southern California

possible the third time to pass it

time, in addition to pedestrian regu-
lation, the entire traffic ordinance

Picking, May 7.--fF-Japanese
warships were distributed through
out Chinese waters and additional
troops were on their way to rein
force embattled comrades in Tslnan
TODAY as the Chinese observed "hu-
initiation day" !.
The thirteenth anniversary OF
Japan's ultimatum Of u demands
took on a more somber and threat
ening aspect than even before. An
nually the day has been the occa-
sion of anti-Japanesc demonstra-
tions. Massacre and fighting in
Tsinan today had brought about
what was considered the gravest
Chino-Japanese crisis since the 1918
demands. 1t was feared that. in Ma
tionalist territory at least, race
hatred might flare and be the spark
to set the train Of powder off.
Shanghai advices told Of arrange
ments for an extensive boycott Of
Japanese goods and resignation Of
Chinese employed by Japanese.
All Japanese women were taken
on board ships at Ichang, on the
Yangtze river in the provinces Of
Hupeh. At Marking, the scene of
the violent disorder Of March, last,
the women were concentrated at the
waterfront in readiness for embark
alton if this was thought advisable.
Similar preparations were made at
Chinkiang, a little below Marking.
and at Kiukiang in Kiangsi prov
ince.
To reinforce the Yangtze river
patrol an additional destroyer divi-
sion was ordered to Shanghai.
While the Japanese garrison at Tsi-
nan has been reinforced to a total
of more than 1000 men, an addi-
tional 2,7OO troops were steaming
from Manchuria to Tsingtao where
they will land with Tsinan as their
destination.
Anxiety in Peking
In Picking there was anxiety lest
Japan seize the present occasion to
resume military and economic
domination Of the province of Shan
tung. 1t was asked whether Japan
would turn back the calendar to
1914 when the soldiers of the Mix
ado seized Shantung from Germany
and with it the Shantung railway
and occupied Kiachow. AS sequel
to the Washington conference the
province was handed back to China
but now China's payments on a 40,-
100000 yen ($20,0O0,O0O) bond is
sue by which retrocession Of the
railway was purchased have been in
default for nearly two years. This,
it was thought, might strengthen
the hands Of those who advocate re-
establishment of he staus which ex-
listed before the Washington confer
ence.
Assurances of the safety of Amer
ican, British and German commune
ties at Tsinan limited the issue to
Japan and Nationalist China. The
rifles at Esinan have been silent
since Friday and General Chang
Kai-Shek, Nationalist commander
in-chief, is discredited and the unity
of his command broken.
The revolutionary drive toward
Picking has halted, perhaps for
months, perhaps permanently. In
the meantime the position Of the
northern armies grows stronger.

TENNESSEE FOR HOOVER
 IN SPITE OF ATTACK

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May s. The Tennessee Republican State Convention today instructed. it's four delegates at large and the delegates named from her ten Congressional districts to vote for Secretary Herbert Hoover as long as there is reasonable hope that he might receive the Republican Presidential nominaton at Kansas City.
 The instruction was voted in spite of one-man revolt that was short lived. Fred Bouk att tackled Secretary Hoover viciously on the grounds that he is more English than American, that he fixed the price of wheat to the detriment of the American farm CTS, that he endorsed President Wilson's call for Democratic Congress during the war, that he ran for President in the Democratic primary in Michigan in 1920 and that he supported President Wilson's demand that the United States enter the League of Nations.

SOUTH CHINA MAKES
 FRIENDS WITH BRITISH

Cecil came to Canton, the Union Jack was the order of the day, and in turn the local flagmakers r-aped their harvest, sewing ma c ines hummed day and night be- fore the British chief arrived, and even the paintmakers' shops felt the strain. Anti-foreign slogans were scrubbed from walls and the "peace on earth" phrase took it's place. Those who failed to fly the Union Jack were fined five dol lars.
 When Sir Cecil arrived Chi nese gunboat boomed out salute of 17 guns and a celestial band in scarlet and sky blue uniforms, smothered all noises in God Save the King"
 After two days of birds nest soup, fatted calf and sharks fins feasts Sir Cecil was taken for a launch ride along the Canton wa terfront, this event closing his visit to, Canton. Ahead of the of ficial launch was another bearing Chinese band, which played 'The End of Perfect Day"
 Since the British Govern')r's de- parture rumors of ten million dollar loan from Hongkong to the Canton government have been rife.

 CANTON, China, May 3-"Peace on earth, good will toward our British neighbors at Hongkong,' is now the government sanctioned slogan of South China.
 Since General Lii Chai-sum, head of the Cantonese government, and Sir Cecil Clement, governor of British Hongkong, exchanged vis- its several weeks ago, relations between the two governments have been more cordial than at any time during the past five years, reports from both British and Chinese sources agree.
 General Iii went to Hongkong and was the guest of the British Governor, and then Sir Cecil came to Canton as the guest of General Ii. The peace on earth" slogan was decreed by the Chinese au- thorities.
 Several humorous incidents oc- cured during. the exchange of visits of the two officials. When General Li went to Hongkong, HoLgkong Chinese flew the Chi nese nationalist flag for the first time. As a result the Hongkong flagmakers worked overtime sup plying the demand. When Sir

TRENTON, N. J., May 3-Her. bert Hoover, secretary 1i com. merce, is the only entrant in New Jerseys presidential preference primary on May 15.
 On the Democralic side, Cover. nor Alfred E. Smith. while not of ficially seeking endorsement, has the support of many delegate can didates.
 The battles of Jersey politicians. the red fire, oratory and bands, however. have little to do with the forthcoming presidential pref erence primary. The preference vote has been largely forgotten in the hot fights for nomination, on the same date, of candidates for state office.
 Few of the delegate candidates for delegate face contests, and the primary itself is merely an ex- pression of preference, not binding upon ueleSdteS.
 Thirty-four Democrats seek the 32 places to which New Jersey is entitled in the Houston conven- tion, while Al Republicans want the 31 places apportioned Jersey. men at Kansas City.
 Of the Democratic candidates 13 are recorded for Smith and many of the rest favor the governor of New York.
 Senator Edward I. Edwards, Gov. A. Harry Moore and three representatives, Mary T. Norton Paul J. Moore, and o. l.. Auf der Heide, will be members of the Democratic delegation.
 U. s. Senator Walter D. Edge heads the list of seven Republican candidates for delegates-at-large pledged to Hoover. A lone con tender for place on this slate is pledged to Charles G. Dawes.
 Fourteen of the Al Republican candidates are pledged to Hoover, eight are for President Coolidge first and Hoover second, six are for Frank o. Lowden and one for Senator Edge.
 While little excitement prevails over the selection of delegates to the political conventions, four. sided contest for the Republican nomination for governor and a fiye-sided contest for the Republi can nomination for United States senator has stirred the state. The senatorial quest is for the seal now held by Senator Edwards.
 Not since 1916, when guberna torial and presidential elections also coincided. has New Jersey elected Republican governor. Among the senatorial candidates are Joseph Frelinghuysen, former senator. and Hamilton F. Kean, former national committeeman. Senator Edge has given his sup port to Edward c. Stokes, former governor. One woman, Mrs. Lil- Han s. Feickert, is in the race on a dry platform. All others favor a referendum for modification of the prohibition law. There are no contests for Democratic nom nations for senator or governor
