Other reports indicated that
conditions approaching anarchy
prevail at San Sebastian, summer
capital of Spain. Two British
destroyerS were sent there on the
appeal of Sir H. G. Chiffon, Brit

Battle Described
Entrance TO Spain becomes in
creasingly difficult as I travel
back and forth between the rebel
front and the French frontier to
file dispatches.
Last night, looking down from
the hills on the Spanish side of
beautiful San Sebastian, l saw
battle for this hotly contested
resort in which American Ambas-
Sador Claude G.. Bowers and men,
bers of his staff are refugees.
-Four thousand Navarro yolun-
teers splashed across the river
toward town, wearing their red
and yellow-Royalist-arm bands,
with pictures of the Virgin Mary
imprinted on them.
Then the artillery resounded.
The sound showed the guns were
three inch field pieces. Fighting
continued all evening. The rebels
started shelling from the hills
while a government cruiser bonn
barded the rebels in the Loyola
barracks, and a rebel airplane
bombed the fuel depot at Pasaje,
nearby fishing port"

The Kansas Governor Is not dis
cussing campaign issues. except in =
general way, in his few addresses OF
the pre-convention race. However, he
puts the farm problem In the FORE

deal with 1t If he becomes the presi-

and his friends will have q farm pro-
gram to present for inclusion in the

lieve that a great deal of work al

it is completed it will be as satisfy
ing to the farmers. or perhaps more
so, as the farm program of the
Roosevelt administration. Other prob
lens and issues which he places right
alongside of the farm problem are
social security ard relief, waste in
Government expenditure and bureau
cracy.
Landon has made only two speeches
and has been interviewed once on the
radio in the pre-convention cam
paign. His best friends do not claim
he has all the graces of an orator.
Certainly he does not have q Har-
ward accent. But he speaks plain
American, and his delivery is sincere
and earnest. heard him address
the opening meeting of the American
Medical Association in Kansas City
Tuesday. When he rose to speak to
the audience of $4,000, including ply
sicians from every State in the Un-
ion, Landon was given a spontaneous
ovation. For the time being, at least,
the convention had more interest in
the Kansas Governor than it had in
a new cure for colds. Landon han
died himself naturally and what he
had to say was easily heard and
effective. He seemed entirely at home
with a big crowd.
One More Speech.
One more speech, at least, he is
to make before the national conven-
tion opens. Monday the Kansas Gov
ernor will go to the little town of
Attica, Kans.. to deliver a commence
ment day address. He Is keeping a
promise made more than a year ago
to Pat" Crowell, a claSsmate of the
Governor. Crowell was tackle and
captain of the foot ball team at the
University OF Kansas. He has a son
graduating at the Attica High School
this year. and when Landon was re-
elected Governor in 1884 Crowell ex-
tracted, without any difficulty, prom
ise from his old friend to talk to the
boys and girls on their graduation
The address will deal with the prob
lens of youth and will be broadcast
over a national hook-up.
When the Landon boom for Presi-
dent got under way last year, the
first thing said of him was that he
had given his State a business and
economical administration; that he
kept the Kansas budget in balance

penditureS had been running hog wild

is given the credit for putting Kansas
on a solid financial footing.
Limitations Flexible.
Landon's plan provides q flexible
system Of limitations upon the levies
which may be made to raise funds for
the municipalities of the State, and
the municipal officers are required
by law to budget this limited revenue
to the most necessary functions of gov
ernment. In order to prevent i'm
proper use of funds and eliminate
the incurring of current indebtedness,
municipalities are not allowed to in

about how it should be spent.
Rejects Burden Theory.
Landon tackled the financial prob
lens of Kansas from two angles. He
cut expenditures and made q drive
to collect taxes that were due and
not being collected. In both meas
ures he has been successful. During
a speech he made in May, 1885. on
the public school problems of Kan
sas, he took occasion to say: I'm
fortunately we are too much inclined
to view our tax problem in a mega
tive way. We so often think that

after q vote OF the taxpayers or per-
mission from the tax commission.
The scheme works.
Trained as a lawyer. Landon went
into a bank when he left college and
few years later into the business OF
drilling oil wells and producing oil.
He is recognized as a good business
man. He has made money. He
makes q good bargain, whether he
is dealing with his own money or
with the money of the State. His
friends say that since he is careful

he can be relied upon to be careful
of Uncle Sans. While Gov. Landon
is a foe to waste, he is by no means
a foe to relief for the destitute and
unemployed. He realizes that as long

Gov. Landon likes people. That Is
probably one reason people like him.
He is q prodigious worker. In a po-
litical campaign he works like bea-
yer. and If he Is nominated for the
presidency he may be expected to put

CelebrOn Defeats
Topnotch Welter
Unimpressive in N. Y. Debut
Despite K. o.

By United Press
NEW YORK, April 14.-Billy Ce-
lebron of Rockford, ILL.,. today
claimed the right to a crack at
Barney Ross welterweight crown
by virtue of his technical knockout
victory last night over Cleto Loca-
tell of Italy at st. Nicholas Pal
ace.
However, it is doubtful if Ross or
any big time promoter will recog-
nize Celebron's claim, despite the
fact that he had Locatelli's left
brow bleeding so badly in the tenth
that Referee Artie McGovern halt
ed the bout. Also, despite the fact
that Billy's claim is backed up by
both the Illinois and New York box
ing commissions.
In his New York debut he was so
unimpressive that few of the 5000
fans would concede him a chance
against Ross.
Fighting his first scheduled Is
rounder, Illinois No. / challenger
came back from the verge of a
Knockout in the sixth round to win
in the tenth over Locatelli, 'yho had
been named top contender by the
New York fistic fathers.

another choice up until the time the
car is ready to qualify, but the
chauffeur" who participates in the
elimination test must start the
mount in the race.
A DIVERSE circumstances whetted
l. n Kelly's appetite for victory last
year. On his first attempt to quail
fly he broke all two-man records in
negotiating the Is miles, averaging
nearly 122 miles an hour, but he
consumed too much gasoline and the
test was marked out.
Allowed three attempts, Petillo
threw a rod through the side of his
motor on his second trial and it
seemed that all of his efforts were
linked. New parts had to be shipped
by plane from California and, work.
ing day and night, the crippled
charger finally was rolled on the
track late in the afternoon of the
final qualifying day and Petillo
nosed into one of the back rows in
the lineup of 33 cars.
Kelly lost little time in working
toward the front and was running
in eighth place in 25 laps. In 70
laps he had taken the lead, which he
held with the exception of couple
of temporary surrenders occasioned
by necessary pit stops.
DABE STAPP, an early bird for
- trials at the Speedway, made
preparations today for another test
run on the renovated 500 mile brick
work.
The Los Angeles veteran took
100-mile spin in his Gil Pirrung Spe-
cial yesterday and turned in an an
proximate average of ITO miles an
hour. His fastest lap was clicked
at 1874. Keeping check on gaso-
line used, Stapp found he averaged
better than IL miles a gallon. Babes
car, front wheel drive, was piloted
into second place by Wilbur Shaw
last year.

In the American League, the
Detroit Tigers, who won the 1885
World Series, are picked to capture
their third straight pennant. The
Chicago Cubs. who won the Ma
tional flag last year with a record
breaking streak of 81 consecutive
victories, are favored to repeat also.
None of last years tail-enders
seem due to move out of the second
division, but they are certain to
make the going rough for the men,
bers of the upper brackets.
Red Sox Bolstered
The National League race, as was
the case last year, again shapes up
as a three-club affair among the
New York Giants, ST. Louis Cardin-
ais and Chicago Cubs.
The Detroit Tigers are expected
to encounter sitter competition
this year. The Boston Red Sox,
who finished fourth in 1884, are
greatly improved as a result of
owner Tom Yawkey's costly pur-
chaSeS.
The New York Yankees, with Joe
DiMaggie, the years prize rookie,
expected to add more power at bat,
will be strong. And the Cleveland
Indians, with one of the best pitch
ing stats in the major league, are
determined to do better than they
did year ago.
Cleveland Real Contender
The Clevelanders were the most
talked-of team when the 1885 race
started. Managerial trouble, it was
said, caused so much strife that the
Indians were unable to play their
best When Steve O'Neill took over
the job near the end of last season
from Walter Johnson, the club be-
gan to move.
A change in inter- sectional sched-
ules, the first in the history of the
majors, also is expected to tighten
up the races. In past years, each
club made only three road trips,
playing two four game series and
ore three-game set with each OPP
ponent away from home. This year
each club will make four swings, on
a 1882 basis.
The change was made mostly to
draw more customers. Owners.
figuring that four appearances by
the same club in as many days was
too much, decided to spread the
schedule out.
More Trying for Pitchers
The new schedule will work some
thing of hardship on pitching
stats. Under the 4-4-3 layout,
spot" pitchers sometimes could be
used twice during the same series.
Under the new setup spot" pitchers
who work well against certain
teams will be under something of a
handicap.
Both the Tigers and Cubs will
stand virtually pat on the lineups
which won pennants last year. Only
major addition to the ranks of the
Tigers is Outfielder AL Simmons,
who was bought from the Chicago
White SoX, where he had a disas-
trous year at bat.
The Cardinals, with the Dean
brothers again set to carry the
brunt of the pitching, stack up
about the same as last year. The
pitching staff will be strengthened
by addition of Leroy Parmelee, who
was procured in a trade with the
Giants.
The Giants, who led in the
stretch for the past two years only
to fold up, will be a mixture of
veterans and newcomers.
