CHINESE VILLAGE
WIPED OFF MAP
BY HUGE FORCE

PEIPING, China, April g.. UH-
The tragic tale of the destruction
of an entire village ~ western Hon.
an was told in letter from an Ann
erican missionary received here.
More than $500 persons were made
homeless by the ruthless looting of
the soldiers, who, enraged at the at
tempts of the villagers to retain
their independence, sacked the little
town of Yang Pc.
During the past few years, Honan
has been overrun with bandits, but
Yang s wall saved the city at
least 100 times. Sometimes bandit
gangs larger than the entire popu-
lation of the town attacked the
place, but Yang Po' people trained
themselves in the art of self de-
fcnse, and did lot of harm to
bandits.
A few weeks ago one of Feng Yu-
Hsiang' s subordinate GENERALS
moved into the country near Yang
Po. He sent out orders that every
surrounding town must pay heavily
toward the upkeep or ms troops.
The order came as blow to Yang
Po, because the city did not want
protection, -
The general was angry when the
town elders sent back word that
they could not undertake to supply
his soldiers with food and fuel and
money. He sent back harsh de-
mand for double the amount he had
asked in the beginning.
When Yang Po people again re-
fused, the general ordered an at
tack, His forces were larger and
better organized than any bandit
gang the town defenders had faced.
The battle ragged for days, and 500
OF the attacking troops were killed
and many others wounded.
Eventually, however, the troops
broke into the town. Discipline
vanished, and they rushed about
looting, killing and setting fire to
houses and shops.

CHICAGO, April 9. Wp) - Ruth
Hanna Mccormick, born to political
purple, today became the first
woman ever to be nominated for the
United States senate by major
party.
Illinois, which furnished the first
Republican President, signified its
choice for the G. o. p. senatorial
nomination in unmistakable figures
yesterday, casting aside its veteran
Senator Charles S. Deneen for the
dynamic daughter of Mark Hanna.
Today it appeared the final re-
suits of the primary, the first ma

istercd her husband, Senator Medill
Mccormick, six years ago.
Senator Deneen, hitherto unde-
featcd in 3S years of public service,
retired to his home early today
without making a statement or con
ceding the defeat.
Mrs. Mccormick. seasoned by years
of politics since the days of Pres
ident Mckinley, took her victory
calmly but there was no mistaking
the joy it brought.
Her ever ready smile flashed as
she got returns from the United
Press wire in her headquarters. At
her side in Palmer House suite sat
a friend of long standing and tried
devotion, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Longworth, also born to politica
purple and credited with as much
behind the scenes in politics as Mrs
Mccormick is with the footligh'
variety.
Incomplete returns gave Dcnecr
a lead in 80 counties and Mrs. Me
Cormick lead in 81. The DenceI
counties largely were those in tn,
