under a punishing fire from pursu- ing Japanese infantry and planes.
 Chinese sources asserted that 800 Chinese were killed in the Lang Fang battle, in which Japanese war planes bombed @ Chinese barracks.
 The Japanese withdrawal demand apparently was much more sweeping than previous demands, and call culated to prove so humiliating that even if authorities ordered the troops to go, the troops themselves might elect to make a hopeless stand against the Japanese war machine, preferring death to dis honor.
 Six thousand Japanese troops, in five special trains, passed through Tientsin today on their way to the Peiping front.
 Object Lesson
 The Japanese, 1t was understood told General Sung that the bar racks of the Chinese 38th division at Langfang was bombed, during the battle there, as an object les- son.
 Japanese authorities made ar- engagements to warn foreign embas- sies, 1t was said, in event they de- cided to bomb all barracks in the Peiping neighborhood.
 Chinese sources said that the Japanese attitude was "unreason- ably strong" and were most pessi- mistic, fearing serious developments.
 Peiping authorities, fearing that fighting on a serious scale was im- minent, closed the gates of the an- cient capital this morning.

The leaders death followed by little more than e week the dispute over e mayoralty nominee which left Tammany Hall split wide open.
 With the endorsement of former Gov. Alfred F. Smith, Dooling an- nounced he would support U. S., Senator Royal s. Copeland for the Tammany nomination. The four county leaders, favoring "New Deal" candidate, indorsed Grover Whalen, former police commission CT.
 Dooling refused to withdraw his support of Copeland and placed his hail leadership at stake, In close vote the deputy leaders backed Copeland and Dooling, but the Queens, Kings county, Bronx and Richmond leaders announced they would stick with Whalen.
 The split in Tammany had roper cuSsions In the candidacy of fusion Mayor F. H. LaGuardia for another four-year term. The county demo- cratic leaders, seeding from the Manha tan -Tammany forces, insist cd that LaGuardia could be beaten for reelection only by 0 candidate known to favor New Deal policies,
 Such e candidacy they offered in Whalen, the city's suave, mous- tached official greeter" during the administration of former Mayor James J. Walker.
 Preferred Copeland
 The Dooling Smith forces, how ever. preferred Copeland, anti-New Deal democrat, and threw behind him at least twe-thirds of Tam manyS voting strength. Dooling contended that "insurgent" move ments In Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens would develop and contrib. ute to support of the Copeland tic. ket. Copeland himself invited re-

publican support, pointing out that because of opposition to President Roosevelt 1t would not be too incon- sistent for the republicans to make him their nominee, too.
 Frank V. Kelly, Kings county democratic leader, scoffed at reports of insurgent movements in his dis tricts and the other county leaders were similarly confident of Whalen strength outside Manhattan.
 LaGuardia supporters, among them progressive republicans and some New Deal democrats, hoped to take advantage of the intra-mural Tammany fight to strengthen the cause of fusion.
 What effect Dooling's death would have on La duardia's chances Of reelection was not immediately plain. Some observers felt that it might result in 0 sentimental re- alignment that would heal the breach. Others believed 1t would further disorganize the halls lead- ership.
 Ills Father Was Leader
 James J. Dooling started his ca- reer in Tammany Hall when his father, Peter J. Dooling, was leader of the fifth district, in which the son was born.
 Young Jimmy" organized a Boys Democratic League" and subsequently,, as an attorney, spent as much time getting the voters out to the polls as he did getting clients out of jail, his friends put 1t.
 He was born In Q three-story red brick house at 460 West 43rd street and still lives there. He attended Holy Cross academy as Q boy and, after high school, went to Fordham university where he studied psy- cology and philosophy.
 In World War
 When the United States entered the World war Dooling joined the 35lst field artillery and spent seven months in France, where he learned the language.
 He re-entered Fordham and sub- sequently joined the faculty, teach- ing Latin, Greek and mathematics.
 He studied law on the side and in 1920 was admitted to the bar. Ills fathers health began to fail and while Pa coached me from the Sidelines" the son took over the or- ganization work in the fifth.
 Tn 1928 Dooling took the only public job he ever had, that of dep- uty public administrator at 5000 year. He spent nine years in the post.
 Succeeded Father
 When his father died in 1881 Dooling took over the fifth district leadership. Three years later John P. Curry, then Tammany leader, angered him by taking away from Dooling Q minor piece of patronage a supreme court clerkship which the young district leader had candidate for.
 The soft-spoken Jimmy became e fighter over night. By July, 1884, he had Curry's scalp and his job.
 When the 26 Tammany leaders elected Dooling their chief in 1884 as part of a campaign to give the Hall a new deal" he was only q, one of the youngest men even to assume the mantle worn by the Tweeds, CrokerS and Murphys.

New York, July 26-(UP)-The international executive board of the American Newspaper Guild today authorized a referendum on CIO af- filiation and other actions taken at the guilds recent St. Louis conven- ton, provided that the questions to be presented were properly drafted and capable of application" and within the spirit" of the original motions.
 The board voted to limit the ref erendum to guild members as of June 1. Both votes were unanimous.
 In limiting the referendum, the executive board barred business of- flee workers and others who have joined the guild since the St. Louis convention opened membership to them. The question of broadening the membership base will be includ- ed in the referendum.
 Other Problems
 Other questions involve a stand in favor of 8 farmer-labor party, support of the loyalists in Spain, larger WPA appropriations, sup- port of President Roosevelt's su- preme court reorganization program and restoration of a guild vice-pres- ident for wire services.
 The boards stipulation that the questions must be properly drafted followed requests from the Colum- bus, O., guild and the Washington guild to be permitted to rephrase them so as to propose positive acc tons either confirming or nullifying the actions taken at the convention, instead of merely reopening the is- sues. The board announced that committees of the Columbus and Washington guilds would hold sic multaneous meetings today to re- phrase the questions properly

Philadelphia, July 26-(UP)-The governor of Pennsylvania demanded an apology from the mayor of Phil adelphia today, upon which the mayor demanded one from the gov- ernor.
 Gov. George H. Earle was miffed by Mayor S. Davis Wilson's charge that telephone-tapping tactics of a legislative committee inquiring into Philadelphia court procedure was an administration maneuver ito ruin me-.
 Mayor Wilson was angered by the governors demand for an apology.
 The telephone alleged to have been tapped was that of Louis W. Wilgarde. secretary to the mayor. State Sen. Frank W. Ruth said the tapping was warranted" and that public hearings. scheduled for this week, would develop disclosures sup- porting his assertion.

slashes will cost the city approxi- mately $l66,500 next year.
 During the past few years restor- ations had been made until the salaries paid city employees are now within five per cent of their pre- depression status. The announce ment today brings the salaries back on a par with the figures of salaries before any slashes were made dur ing the depression.
 Tn an interview with The Demo- crat today, Mayor Hayes stated, T am happy to state that the emer- gency necessitating reductions, in my opinion, no longer exists.
 The restoration of salary was made by Mayor Hayes, after con- sultation with Comptroller Daniel J. Leary, as to the financial status of the city.
 Complete Interview
 Mayor Hayes complete interview was as follows:
 "On July 9th you called on me and stated that The Democrat had been receiving many inquiries as to the restoration of the remaining five per cent of the voluntary contribu- tions of salary made by city em- ployes. As I was about to leave for a vacation at the time, I promised you that l would ask the Comptrol- Ter to advise me as to what we could properly do in this regard.
 "On my return on Friday last, the Comptroller reported that he had carefully considered the question and that the city's revenue has ma terially increased during the year. This increase has been due to larger of taxes, both on the cur rent and back tax lists, together with additional revenue from other sources which will more than equal the amounts estimated in the bud get.
 Only Fair To Restore Pay
 Under these conditions, 1t seems only fair to restore to the employees of the city the remaining portion of the salary which they 50 cheerfully donated during the darkest period of the depression. Because of increased cost of living and in view of the steady advance in wages paid by manufacturing and industrial con- cerns, 1t is unfair to ask our em- ployes to continue their sacrifice now that conditions have so great ly improved.
 T am happy to stste, therefore, that the emergency which necessi- tated these reductions in my opin- ion, no longer exists: and that, be- ginning August 1st, all employees of the city who receive less than $3,500 per year will thereafter receive their full pay without deduction. Those receiving more than $3,500 per year will have the restoration of their pay made not later than January 1, 1888.
 T cannot close this interview without asking you to express once more, through your columns, the gratitude which every citizen feels to all who so willingly gave up a share of their income (for some time as much as twenty per cenD to the re- lief of their less fortunate fellows during the depression just passed"

 Board of Aldermen
 As part of the Ideal" the inde- pendents will be permitted to name one or two members on the board of aldermen and board of educa- ton. Whether any of the present members of the two boards will be dropped" regardless of their ambi- tons to run again is a question which Chairman J. Warren Upson of the republican town committee will answer tonight. He is reported as having complete control of the delegates and in Q position to deal with the independents as he deems best For some time 1t was thought that MT. Upson would accept the mayoralty nomination himself, but of late weeks he has remained silent on his own ambitions. He can either accept or dictate the nomination, which is rare privilege in local political history.
 Independent c. o. r.
 An explosion" which may lead to the formation of an Independent republican ticket Is expected If the delegates attempt to drop Aldermen George Kingston, Patrick Perriello or William Kolbeck. They wish to run again, but If necessary they may be forced to retire In favor of inde- pendent democrats. This unusual" situation is also unique in local po- lltical history.
 The democrats will hold their pri- fnaries and conventions late in Aug. ust. It was expected that Senator Culhane would contest Mayor Frank Hayes for the nomination in an offi- cial primary fight but the fact that the Independents and republicans have decided to name him as their leader eliminates the necessity of tilt for the nomination.
 Doubt of Miss Egan
 If Miss Egan voluntarily with draws from the democratic ticket there Is expected to be wild scramble for the nomination to sue- eeed her. It was announced two weeks ago that If Miss Egan desired the nomintaion she would receive 1t, but even her most enthusiastic friends do not expect that her name will appear on three tickets--the re- publican, the Independent democrats and the official democrats, which would make her nomination unani- nous and her election 6 sure thing.

RETENTION OF

BEING URGED
Present Program Calls For Dis
continuance Of 80 On
April First

A Subcommittee of the Steering
Committee Of the House of Represen-
tatives, consisting of the following
Members, Congressman Jed johnson
of Oklahoma, T. Alan Goldsborough
Maryland, Clarence Cannon, of Mis-
souri,, Frances E. Walter, of Pennsyl-
vania and Hardin ]. Peterson, of Flor
ida, called on President Roosevelt this
week and urged retention of C. C. c.
Camps.
The present program is to discOn-
tinue 80 camps on April 1 and 600 a
little later. The Committee pointed
out to the President that the C. c. G.
Camp agency of the New Deal has the
general approval of the entire coun-
try, that the results had been out
standing, both in the work accomplish
ed and the great increase in the NOR
ale of those who were in the Camps
1t was further pointed out that the
very rigid restriction that only those
who were on relief were permitted to
go into the camps should be relax
ed, so that borderline cases, or those
in need of employment but not on re-
lief rolls, should be admitted.
Congressman Goldsborough stated
that the interview was very satisfac-
tory, and that he is very hopeful the
number of camps will not be reduced.
Mr.. Goldsborough has also made a
personal plea to the membership of
the subcommittee of the Appropria-
lions Committee considering the an
nual appropriation for the Biological
Survey, to grant an increase in the
funds for the bureau that would en-
able the establishment of wildlife
school and demonstration station at
the University of Maryland it was
learned.
The matter was first brought to
the attention of Mr.. Goldsborough by
E. Lee LeCompte, Maryland State
Game Warden for the past fifteer
years, who is also vice-chairman OF
the committee on wildlife.
The subcommittee considering the
appropriations for the next fiscal yeal
for the biological survey is headed
by Representative Cannon dem.
Mo-. Mr.. Goldsborough said while
the members of the committee did moi
commit themselves, his request was
received cordially. Mr.. LeComptt
said such a station at the University
of Maryland would be of great bene
fit to the State.

holding a Worcester County warrant
for his arrest on the night of Feb
ruary %, 1895, accompanied by two
Virginia officers, took him from his
home and held him overnight in the
Jail here.
All four officers contended he had
gone of his own accord.
Officer Birmingham explained that
the warrant for Jones had been is
sued on the testimony of a Negro
woman who said Jones had paid her
rs cents to steal an accessory from
an automobile in Pocomoke City. The
Negro later admitted this was not
true, and Jones was released.
