Indian Fighter Rode Steed In Inaugural Storm, Died
 In Month

army officer, that led to the death of President Harrison's grand father, Gen William Henry Harri- ton. 48 years before.
 March 4, 1841, dawned raw and cold. Despite the weather, General Harrison, then 6S, insisted on rid ing horseback to the capitol to be inaugurated.
 Bareheaded, that hardy warrior stood on an open stand and ad- dressed the crowds for an hour and a half. That night he attended three inauguration balls and danc- ed. with the ladies at every one.
 On his prancing white stallion the old general must have made Q gallant and commanding figure, az evidenced from this paragraph in a story in the National Intelligen- cer of March 5, 1841:
 'The ladies. everywhere, from windows on each side of Pennsyl- vania avenue, waved their hand kerchiefs in token of their kind feelings and General Harrison re- turned their smiles and greetings with repeated bows"
 One month after he entered the White House, General Harrison was dead, Q victim of pneumonia. The old warrior was the first presi- dent to die in office in more than 50 years of it's existance.
 Behind the Harrison family-as behind the Adams and Roosevelt familites-lies a historic lineage, extending back to the early days of the nation. The generals father was Benjamin Harrison, signer of the declaration of independence and a descendant of one of Crom- wells colonels who had once signed the death warrant of king.
 Born of an aristocratic family in Virginia in 1773, William Henry Harrison first decided to become

Talichiatung, Jehol, Feb 2S.- (UP)-Japanese troops faced one of the most severe tests of their advance to-day in the mountain passes of the eastern Jehol border.
 Chinese defenders were en- trenched behind strong enbattle- ments estimated to be from 20 to 40 miles long. So formidable was their position that observers be- lieved only by the most cunning military strategy and fierce fight ing could they be dislodged.
 The defenders included both regulars and irregulars. One of the crack attachments was Tsai- Kais framed Cantonese 18th route army which defended Shanghai last year. Thoroughly drilled and equipped, Tsai's troops were en- trenched for a last-ditch fight.
 A frontal attack by the Japanese was expected to be supported by a flank movement of troops advanc- ing from Chaoyang, Johol town that fell after fierce fighting last week. Simultaneously, column of soldiers was on the march from Kailu, to the north, mopping up guerilla stragglers, remnants of Chinese irregulars routed yester- day.
 1t was a thrilling sight to watch the Japanese while they prepared to storm the Chinese strongholds. In a three mile procession, the Nippon troops moved into this vil- lage at the foot of the mountain ramparts. They came in trucks from Suichung. Each soldier car ...& IL showed nervousness.
 The troops here were in com mand of Major Kobayashi, jolly to help me overcome my transpor- for me to proceed aboard a mili- tary train to Peipain, thence by army truck to the Chaoyang front.
 He invited me to dine with him in his billets. There we chatted about the campaign. Before left he promised to rejoin me in Chengteh-fu, capital city of Jehol province.
 why not make it Peiping?" asked.
 Kobayashi laughed heartily.
 By converging their various armies upon Chengteh-fu, the Jap- anese appeared to have decided on eventually sealing all the portals of the great wall.
 The Japanese, with their su- perior equipment. chose the most favorable time of the year to at- tack. Although the backbone of the winter is broken. rivers in this section are frozen to e depth of four and five feet, supporting the heaviest or motorized equipment. Most of the snow has melted from the bleak, desolate plains.

 Hugh Lavery to be renamed judge in Bridgeport-Senator David Goldstein, president pro tenn or the senate, declared that in voting mo" on the resolution he was not casting aspersions upon Judge Law cry, but was merely following out democratic principals. He said that in this respect he spoke for his fel- low democratic senators from Bridgeport = Conley and Kane. Senator Bergin then took the floor and said that the dem- ocartic senators were not find- ing fault with the character and integrity of the candidates named in the various resolutions but were acting upon principle in opposing the list.

When old General William Henry Harrison, then 6S. defied a near-blizzard to ride 6 prancing white horse at the head of his inaugural procession to the capitol in 1S41 he never fully re- covered from the exposure and died in the White House of pneu- monia month later.
 Forty-eight years later, his granson, Benjamin Harrison, might have suffered a similar fate on his Inaugural day-for a cold. biting rain was falling-but Grover Cleve- land, the retiring president, held an umbrella over his head during their ride from the White House to the capitol in an open carriage.
 Like the Adamses and the Roosevelts, the Harrison family has supplied the United States with two presidents. In the long parade of the nations history it's contri- buttons bridge the gap between the powdered-wig era of John and John Quincy Adams and the mod ern era of Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 William Tyler Page, veteran former clerk of the house of rep resentatives during his 50 years in Washington witnessed the inaugu- ration of the second Harrison when he was 21-year-old assist ant file clerk in congress in 1889. He describes it colorfully.
 e'The weather on Benjamin Har- rison's inauguration day was the worst I ever saw says MT Page. All the night of March 3 a north- east storm beat upon Washington.
 When morning dawned the decorations on Pennsylvania ave- nue were soaked and 8 cold rain was falling.
 But President-elect Harrison and President Cleveland decided that the historic costumes of inaug- uration day must be observed. They left the White House in an open carriage and rode down Pennsyl- vania avenue in the rain, huddled together unler a robe, Mir Cleve- land holding an umbrella over their heads
 T witnessed this inauguration from doorway of the capitol, where I sought shelter from the rain, I didn't see much except lot of umbrellas. Thousands in the crowds in front of the inaug- ura3 stand were soaked to the skin, but they stood it out. After the ceremony. President Harrison and ex-President Cleveland reviewed the inaugural parade"

the enemy and they are ours." He was elected to congress and the senate and later was appointed minister to Colombia by President John Quincy Adams, but the Jack son administration swept him out of public office.
 His enemies sneered at him as a man more fitted to occupy a log cabin than the White House and that helped elect him. He capital ized this in a direct plea to the common people with his elebrated ''Log Cabin and Hard Cider" cam paign in which he made a log cab- in the symbol of his candidacy.
 When Benjamin Harrison, his grandson, ran for president a half century later, cortoonists carica- tured him as a little man almost lost to sight under "grandfather's hat" As a lawyer in Indianapolis he had joined the Union army, be- came a general and marched with Sherman to the sea. He returned to win election to the senate and then suffer defeat for reelection. He left Washington describing himself as "a dead duck" and was going away from the presidency when it caught up to him. When Blaine refused the republican nom- ination in 1888 he cabled from Scotland, "Take Harrison" The convention did.
 His administration was merely an intermission between the two administrations of Grover Cleve- land, democrat, who both preseded and succeeded him. He was a pow erful orator but cold and aloof personality.
 He ended his term in 1893, died in 1901 at the age of 67.

Lieut. John Hoffman, head of the special investigation bureau of De- troit police. said that Liebold was in his small coupe when last seen.
 All Detroit police, and all posts of the Michigan state police were supplied with descriptions of the missing man and his machine, Hoffman said.
 Fraley said the request for aid was made by man who identified himself as a Ford official, but whose name Is being withheld.
 At the Liebold home 1t was said that nothing was known of the dis appearance, and all callers were referred to the Ford Motor Co.
 Liebold was known to have been assisting Edsel B. Ford, son of the motor car manufacturer, in the re- organization plans of the First Ma tional bank and the Guardian Ma tional Bank of Commerce, for whose rehabilitation the Fords in- vested millions.
 He has been secretary to the Dearborn manufacturer for 20 years, and was mentioned as a prospective director of one of the two new banks.
 Liebold sat in the banking con- ferences with Ford Sunday, and worked with Edsel Ford most of yesterday. In recent years, Liebold, an authority on antique and Col onial history, has devoted much of his times to the development of Ford's Greenfield village.
 Mrs Liebold could not be reached at the Liebold home.

 Tokio, Feb 28.-(UP)-The Chi nese front line, extending from Kailu through Peipiao to Chao- yang, has been completely smashed, dispatches from the front said to- day.
 Chinese forces defending the line were scattered and demoralized. and the Japanese army is engaged in mopping up the last points of resistance, the reports said.
 The Japanese main army is now converging in general sweeping movement against the Chinese sec- ond line of defense, which extends from Linhsi through Chinfeng to Lingyuan.
 The Nipponese cavalry, operating in the northern sector, was report ed "already far ahead of its sched- ule." A breathing spell is ex- pected for several days, the com- manding officers reported, to per- init wagon trains with munitions and supplies to catch up with the fighting forces.
 The main attack on the second line of Chinese defenders of Cheng- tehfu may be expected before the end of the week. This line extends roughly 100 kilometers from the northeast to southwest, running through Chengtehfu.
 The Japanese columns are con- tinually splitting from the main body, which makes an accurate check on their operations difficult.

\ Peiping, Feb 28.-(UP)-A Jap- anese force of 4,0OO men has left Shanhaikwan to reinforce the at- lacking army operating against Chengtehfu and the southern Jehol sector, according to military in- formation received at the Chinese headquarters to-day.
 A force of only 500 Nipponese has been left to guard the city at the extremity of the great wall.
 Peiping was calm to-day, but q spirit of unrest has attacked the Chinese residents, who are digging themselves into "bomb- proof" dug outs in their backyards. Amuse- ment places are desterted and trade is at a standstill.
 Motor trucks and mule carts have been communicated by the military authorities, and considera- tion was being given to civilians petitions for the construction of Q system of trenches along the city walls, with dugouts for protection against expected air raids.
 With the 4,0OO additional troops dispatched from Shanhaikwan, the Japanese forces operating in Jehol province have been brought to ap- proximately 35,O00, including four and a half divisions and two cav airy brigades.
 Opposed to them are perhaps 50,OO0 Chinese, who can be de- scribed as linen under arms. A majority of them are under the di- rect command of the Chinese high military staff. Another force of 15,0 ,00O is directed by Governor Tang Yu-Lin of Jehol, and perhaps 15,- 900 more are operating as irregu- lars, responsible to nobody and hardly classed as soldiers. The lat ter are centering their activities in the Kailu district.
 The Japanese army Is function ing as four great units two in the north including a cavalry brigade under General Mogi and the sixth division under General Sakamoto, and two in the south, both includ- ing troops of the seventh and eighth Japanese divisions. Accurate figures on the size of the respective fighting forces are difficult to obtain because there are no accredited foreign military attaches with the two armies. The latest bulletins from Jehol said that the Chinese were holding their positions all along the long front, and that the Japanese had been unable to make any ad- vances in the past AS hours.
