EEENG ] CHALLENGE
IS ACCEPTED BY
CHANG KAI-SHEK
Nationalist Leader Will
Take To Field Against
Christian General
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press Staff Correspondent)

SHANGHAI, China, May %. U.D
Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, head of the
national government of China, ac-
copied today the challenge of war
made by Gen. Feng Yu-Hsiang, the
"Christian general. -
The Marking government dismiss
ed Feng from the Kuomintang, or
high council of the party, deprived
him of all offices and empowered the
state council to subjugate him forth
with.
The decision was tantamount to a
formal declaration of war by Chang
against his former aide.
With the guage thrown down and
accepted, the possibilities of major
conflict with the life of the new cen
tral government at stake were enor-
nous.
Feng Yu-Hsiang has a large army
at his disposal and has been con
centrating his forces for days at
Chengchow, a railroad junction in the
province of Honan, south of the Vel
low river.
Feng, after destroying railroads
and bridges and solidifying his
position, announced himself as com
mander in chief of the opposition
party and yesterday notified the
foreign powers of his intention of
" exterminating the regime of
Chang Kai-Shek. He asked the
powers to remain neutral and prom
ised that foreign lives and property
would be protected.
Faced with the menace Of Feng
Yu-Hsiang from the west, the Nan
king government also was kept
busy in the south, where the
Kwangsi rebels had made great
gains and formed serious menace
to Canton.

Little Chum.
FOUGHT OVER IRON
Court Imposes Term Of
Fifteen Years In Re-
fOrmatOry.

PAINTSVILLE, KY, MAJ %.
U.H5;-Six year old Carl Mahan, son
of a taxicab chauffeur, was found
guilty of manslaughter IN common
wealth court here today and was
sentenced to spend the next Is
years in the state reformatory.
The boy was convicted of killing
Cecil Won Hoose, an eight year old
playmate, in quarrel over a piece
of old scrap iron.
The Van Hoose lad was killed
Saturday while parents Of both
boys were away from home.
Carl and Cecil were great chums
until they started fighting over the
old iron. Tiny fists flew fast and
furious, then Carl thought of
way to ''get even."
"I'll get dad s gun and blow
your head off, he told Cecil, ac-
cording to testimony.
He ran into the house and a NOM
ent later ran out dragging his faith
er's shotgun. The boy managed to
raise the muzzle and pulled the
trigger.
Seventeen pellets later were
found in Cecil's body.
Carl was released in custody of
his parents, under $500 bail, pend
ing appeal.
Sits on Fathers Knee
A jury was empanelled this morn
ing and the six year old defendant
was brought into court.
Carl sat on his fathers knee, un-
aware that his fate hung in the
balance, while the story of the kill
ing was being related.
He smiled bashfully when court
attaches or his attorney joked with
him.
The jury retired after the noon re-
cess and reached the verdict on the
first ballot.
Cecil 5 father is a mechanic.
No enmity has existed between the
two families and when the adults
returned home and learned of the
killing they held a conference and
decided "to let the law take it's
course"

BY Norris and Others.

WASHINGTON, May 23. Up
Senator Robert NJ. LaFoliettc of
Wisconsin today deficd the senate
to prevent him from telling his
constituents how he voted in exc
cutivc sessions. Larollette declared
IN Il speech the obligations of n
senator to the people who elect him
were greater than the senate rules
and that he would welcome a test
of the issue with the senate.
LaFollette's speech protested
vigorously the action Of the senate
rules committee in seeking to sus-
pend the United Press from the
senate floor for publishing two
secret roll calls. He also criticized
the committee for subpocning Paul
X. Mallon, United Press corrcspou-
dent, to testify next Monday in
executive session in an effort to
make him divulge the source of the
rolls.

whether they gave out the roll.
While the senate sat in ra.Dt at

WAS based upon that Of his "illus-
trious predecessor who was his
father, the senior LaFollette.
WASHINGTON, May 23.W.P A
move was started in the senate to-
day TO overthrow all actions of the
rules committee in connection with
The publication by the United Press
of secret roll callsl by which the
senate confirmed nominations of
former Secretary of Interior Roy O.
West, and United States Customs
Judge Irvine l.. Lenroot.
Senator George w. Norris, Re-
publican, Nebraska, made a point of
order to Vice President Curtis that
the rules committee was without au-
thority to introduce resolutions and
therefore without authority to sub
poena Paul II. Mallon, chief of the
capitol staff of the United Press,
who has been ordered to appear be-
fore the committee Monday.
Norris contends the rules commit
tee must get authority by major
ity of the senate before it can pro
ceed in the secrecy investigation
which it already has launched.
The Nebraska senator did not
press his point Immediately out of
courtesy to another senator who was
discussing another subject at the
time, but Curtis will be called to
rule upon it later. If Norris posi-
tion is upheld new action by the
rules committee against the United
Press and MCllon in banning them
from the senate floor will be re-
guired. =,
