Amid tumultuous parliamentary

BADLY TROUNCE
SOUTHERN ARMY
Northern Leader Claims
Peking Safe From Ma

PEKING. May 26.-Marshal
Chang Tso-Lin today announced the
Nationalist threat against Peking
had ended after the Southern army
had been defeated decisively by his
Northern troops below Paoting- Flu.
Chang claimed sweeping victories III
the center section of the circular
battle front surrounding the North
ern capital and said these victories
had checked definitely the Ma
tionalist advance.
Chang announcement ended un-
confirmed rumors in the capital
that the Northern forces were re-
treating along the entire front cX-
cept for the Nankou Pass area.
All advices here, however, indi-
Gated there had been an engagement
of major proportions, although de-
tails were lacking.
The Southern army advanced in
two sections-one headed by
Chang Kai-Shek and the other by
Feng Yu-Hsiang-and circled the
Cdplldl III Il Instance VI DtlN tNil L-c
and 175 miles. Chang sent his men
to a similar sem-circular front to
protect all approaches to the capi-
tai, the ultimate goal of the Ma
tionalists.
If Chang's announcement today
was correct, it was conceded that
the strength of the Northern forces
was far greater than many observ-
ers had believed.
Many though it likely that Chang
would withdraw quietly from Pek-
ing and return to his own province
of Manchuria.
WASHINGTON, May 26,-Japan
replied today to the American anti
war proposals, agreeing to partici-
pate in negotiations for such a
treaty.
The reply was an acceptance OF
the American draft.
The japanese pointed out that
| their rights of self defense and their
commitments under existing inter
national agreements must be pro-
tected in any pact they sign bu'
! suggested that these provisions neg
not be written into the treaty.

Bold Statement Charges
Women Spread SIander
in Letter.
Smiths Statement. Page 1al
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
limited Press Stan Cnrresnnndent

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 13.-Gov-
ernor Alfred E. Smith will punctu-
ate his campaign sharply hence
forth by bringing into the open
such whispered reports as the ore
that he was "disgustingly intoxi-
Gated" at the Syracuse State fair
recently. which he had branded to-
day as Gle" in a detailed refuta-
ton.
This first formal recognition Of
the whispering campaign" is ex~
pected to be followed in a day or
two by another involving a report
similar to that allegedly begun by
a Syracuse woman, Mrs. Florence
Sanford, while he probably will dis
cuss others from the stump during
his campaign.
He has decided to follow the ex-
ample of other Democratic cam
paigners, including his running
mate, Senator Joseph I. Robinson
of Arkansas, though it has been
his own method in State campaigns
in the past.
The first incident ramiied over
two States, New York and West
Virginia, and has a varied cast of
characters, including two women.
In running it down, Governor Smith
employed the methods of the head
of a detective agency, with reports
to him and long distance telephone
conversations.
Smiths statement was captioned
Mailing a lie in the whispering
campaign"
The statement dealt with a letter
Mrs. H. D. Sanford, Syracuse, is
said to have written 20 Mrs. Will
liam L. Bauer. Parkersburg, w. Va
which caused comment at a card
party in the West Virginia city that
Governor Smith was so intoxicated
at the State fair at Syracuse, N.
Y. that he had to be assisted to
rise when he made a speech.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Secre-
tary of Treasury Mellon has re-
ported to President Coolidge that
the business situation in the United
States is "very satisfactory"
Mellon said today he had advised
the President that the general busi-
ness outlook is encouraging with
out boomings, and appears to be
fundamentally sound"
"It is not true that a campaign
year Is a bad business year." Mellon
said. 1.-THE country as a whole is
prosperous but there are still some
spotty industries such as coal and
textile.
"There Is nothing unfavorable on
the horizon to agriculture and the
year 1928 Should be a good one for
farmers.
"Of course there are farmers who
make money every year and others
who never show profit.
"As far as I can see into the fu-
ture there is no sign of business
slump or depression.

chased from an Indianapolis mer-
chant.
Michael J. Glenn declared that
he first heard of the car he later
sold to the Indianapolis merchant
from a man who said his name was
Frank Moore, last March. He met
him in the Claypool lobby.
The man said he was registered
at the Washington, that he he had
been a bootlegger, and had split
with partner. They had owned
the Lincoln coupe together, but title
was in Moore's name, Glenn said.
The reputed bootlegger asked
Glenn to take the car off his hands,
saying he would sell it for $4,000
and keep all the proceeds, thereby
getting even with his partner.
Glenn said he could not afford so
expensive a car, but he saw a bar
gain for his friend, the merchant.

quently sell their cars cheaply, he
said, so he did not suspect the own
ership.
MeTcnanI Is wary
The ex-policeman said he ap-
p~oached the merchant, but the
merchant was afraid he might get
mixed up with bootleggers and de-
clined the bargain.
Glenn said he went to the State
motor license bureau and asked to
see the papers A clerk searched
the files and found that the New
York State certificate of title upon
which Moore had been granted an
Indiana title was missing.
Glenn said he returned in a few
days and was told again the paper
still were out of the file. So he
went to State Policeman Joseph
Shinn, a friend, and asked him
about it,
Assured Title Was o. X.
He said Shinn assured him that
if the Indiana bureau had issued a
title, the title must be clear in New
York and that he would be safe in
buying the car.
He said he investigated Indian
apolis police records to see if such
car was reported stolen and found
nothing against it.
Then he bought the car himself,
went to the merchant, and finally
induced him to take the bargain.
The next he heard of the car was
when he was notified that the au-
thorities had taken it away from
the merchant, Glenn said.
Laffey was the sixth person ar
rested in the investigation of the

SKEEN GUILTY

SENTENCE is DELAYED

Carl Skeen was found guilty of
r1anslaughter in the death of Mrs.
Pearl Jarboe, "a, of 614 E. North
ST., in a verdict read in Criminal
Court today.
The jury returned sealed YER
dict late Wednesday and Judge
James A. Collins opened it this
morning.
skeen, %, of 416 jefferson Ave-,
faces a two to twenty-one year
prison term.
Defense Attorney Earl Cox OBJ
tanned delay in formal sentenc-
ing of the youth, to permit deci-
sion as to whether the case will be
appealed. Sentence was set for
Sept. %.
Guilty on One Count
The verdict found Skeen guilty of
the first count of the indictment,
which charged that Mrs. Jarboe
leaped from Skeen's moving automo-
bile because of fear for her chastity
and life.
Other counts of the indictment on
which Skeen was tried charged that
he pushed her from the machine at
Colorado Ave. and Sixteenth st. in
June.
Skeen closed his eyes and seemed
shocked when the verdict was read.
His wife, to whom he has been mar
ried six years, and his mother and
father and other members of his
family were with him in court.
They consoled him and conferred
on advisability of an appeal before
he was taken back to jail.
Deliberate Three Hours
The jury received the case at $50
D. m. Wednesday and deliberated
until 9:30 p. m, when they returned
4 the sealed verdict and left the
courthouse.
For four hours they had listened
to closing arguments by defense and
State attorneys.
Although not stressing the degree
of guilt, whether first or second de-
gree murder, voluntary or involun-
tary nanslaughter, Judson L. Stark,
chief deputy prosecutor, made an
impreSsioned plea for guilty ver-
dict.
He painted Skeen as a drunken
nbertine, with police record for
driving an automobile while intoxi-
Gated, who was violating the law
by disregarding an order forbidding
him to drive at all.
Called Innocent Woman
He termed Mrs. Jarboe an in
nocent woman who had entered
Skeens car to be taken to doctors
office, but who found herself being
taken into the country at terrific
speed and who may have preferred
death rather than disgrace and the
danger of continuing the trip to its
conclusion.
Quite another picture of the hap
penings we're presented to the
jurymen by Earl Cox, defense
counsel He declared that the story
told by Skeen from the witness
stand was straightforward ac-
count and that the young man had
made every effort to save the
woman, who leaped from the ma
chine in a fit of drunken despond-
ency.
Flight Due to Panic
The fight from the scene and
later from the city by Skeen, who
was apprehended in Denver, he at
tributed to panic caused from fear.
The woman had been "out for a
- good time" and entered the car with
AGhat idea, he said.
Other attorneys in the case were
Paul L. Rhoadarmer, deputy prose-
cutor, and Thomas G. Whalon, de-
Tense.
