Watson Defeats Hoover in
Indiana?Japan Is Fight
ing Chinese.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
INDIANA farmers Indicated last
week that they did not approve of
the Presidential candidacy of Herliert
Hoover. The vote of the rural dis
tricts In the Republican primary was
strong enough to give Senaftr James
EL Watson, favorite son, a majority
of something like 25,000 over the sec
retary of commerce, whose strength
was iqalnly In the cities and larger
towns; and the 33 Hoosier delegates
at Kansas City will vote for thd sen
ator at least on the first ballot AMI
Hooverites claimed the result' In In
diana was a severe blow to Hoover's
chances, bnt his supporters asserted
he really had won a victory by keep
ing Watson's majority down to com
paratively small figures.
Despite Senator Watson's protesta
tions that he Is In the race to win,
the politicians nearly all assume that
be is a stalking horse for Lowden or
Dawes, and the opinion is widespread
that the Indiana delegation, or many
of Its members, will shift to Dawes as
soon as the senator releases them,
though they may first give Lowden
a chance. G. Burt Thurman, the Wat
son campaign manager In the state,
said: "Indiana will be for Dawes or
Lowden or any other Republican,"
with significant empbasis on the word
Republican. Maryland Republicans
last Tuesday pledged their 19 dele
gates to Hoover.
Democrats of Indiana voted to send
their 30 delegates to Houston Instruct
ed to vote for Evans Woollen, the In
dianapolis banker whom Tom Taggart
brought forward. He was unopposed.
The Republicans renominated Senator
Robinson and the Democrats picked
Albert Stump for the senate. The
nominations for governor must be
made by the party conventions, for
no candidate on either side won a
clear majority.
Michigan's state Democratic conven
tion voted to Instruct the delegation
of 30 to vote as a unit for A1 Smith,
the opposition being easily squelched.
But the fight against the New Tork
governor Is not entirely abandoned,
for In Alabama the anti-Smith or ~un
Instructed delegation" faction captured
the majority of the state's delegates to
Houston. In Texas the bitter strug
gle to send an unlnstruhted delegation
tot the Republican convention seemed
likely to win.
SENATOR STEIWBR'S campaign
expenditures Investigation commit
tee has not brought out anything in
teresting so far except a small display
of temper by Herbert Hoover. He'
was subjected to a long examination
ns to promises, contributions and po
litical deals and managed to retain
control of himself, but when Senator
Barkley of Kentucky asked him wheth
er he had advised the manufacturers
of chinaware to raise the price of
china, be exploded, saying: '1 won
der, Mr. Chairman, If the committee
is not getting down to dealing with a
pretty small type of street slander."
From the other candidates for the
Presidential nomination the committee
extracted no Information In the least
sensational.
BOTH tbe house and senate accepted
the conference report on the flood
control bill after the measure had
been so altered that if would meet
with the approval of the President
Three Important revisions suggested
by Mr. Coolldge were made and It
was understood the bill would receive
executive approval, although tbe Pres
ident still dislikes some of Its pro
visions.
Tbe bill as It reached the President
authorises the expenditure of $325.
000.000 for the flood control project
but i according to President Coolldge
and Maj. Gen. Edgar J ail win, chief
of engineers, tbe actual minimum cost
win be at least $500,000,000. The bill
places final authority In the hands of
the President Actual construction
work would be In charge of the pres
ent Mississippi river commission under
the direction of the secretary of war
and the supervision of the chief of
engineers. ,* ,
While tiie bill declares for the re
tention of the principle of local con
tribution toward flood control projects,
local interests under the bill most fur
nish only sncli additional rights of
way as are needed forslevees on the
main channel of the Mississippi and
must maintain the flood control works
when completed. The federal govern
ment will bear the entire cort of con
struction of levees and other flood con
trol works and will furnish rights' of
way for levees along floodwnys and
spillways
FOK the first lime in history the sen
ate has assumed the prerogative of
ofFering udvice to the Supreme Conrt
of the United Sta'tes. By a vote of <6
to 31 It approved a resolution asking
that Donald C. Ktchberg of Chicago,
counsel for the national conference on
the valuation of American railways,
be allowed to Intervene In proceedings
before the court for the purpose of
making an oral argument and filing a
brief. The conference Rlchberg repre
sents was formed some yfears ago ,by
radical groups and is headed by Sen
ator Norrls of Nebraska, who intro
duced the extraordinary resolution.
The case in question is an appeal by
the railroads from a lower court's de
cision upholding the Interstate com
merce commission's ruling with re
spect to the determination of valua
tion for rate-making and recapture
purposes.
CHINA and Japan are actually at
war, though not officially, because
Japan Insists on giving military pro
tection to the Shantung railway and
to her nationals there. Protests of
both the Nationals and the Peking
government were unheeded and bloody
clashes between the Japanese and the
Southerners at Tslnan, capital of Shan
tung province, followed. There were
many casualties on both sides and the
fighting continues at tbe time of writ
ing. Each side blamed the other for
i the outbreak of hostilities, and each
accused the other of brutal outrages.
The Japanese commander In Shantung
established a neutral zone along the
railway and at latest reports had
driven the Southerners out of it. The
Tokyo government speedily prepared
and sent over heavy reinforcements
and dispatched additional warships.
Then Marshal Chang, dictator of north
China, Issned a proclamation ordering
all his forces to cease fighting the Na
tionalists, In order, evidently, that the
Chinese nation might employ Its com
bined strength In combating the Jap
anese aggression. In his pronunda
mento Chang Intimated his Intention
of soon retiring to Manchuria, stating
he was willing to be not Insistent re
garding national politics, and tie con
cluded with the statement that the
ship of state was sinking rapidly and
he -hoped the people would come to
their senses and save the country from
destruction.
Suggestions of mediation by the
United Slates have been made but are
useless, for Washington has said It
would not undertake to mediate unless
asked to do so by both sides, and
Japan says It will neither ask nor ac
cept mediation. Tbe unofficial govern
ment view In Tokyo is that Japan
does not consider tbe present situa
tion whr and that therefore the matter
can be settled diplomatically between
japan and China. All Americans In
the war zone are believed to be safe,
though some. Including Consul Price
at Tslnan, were under fire.
RUMANIA almost bad a revolution
last week, bat tbe government
nipped It In the bud. The peasants
fathered In vast throngs?two hun
dred thousand In Alba J alia and smaller
numbers In other places?and fortnu
lated demands (or a change of govern
ment and the end of the despotic
regime of Premier Bratlano. Some of
the leaders wished to have the hordes
march on Bucharest to enforce their
demands, but others dissented and
only a few thousands slhrted on the
trek to the capital and they aeon quit
At the gatherings the government had
stationed large detach menu of troops
which did net Interfere with the de
liberations but effectually squelched
all the ardor for militant action. Aa
Interesting feature of the affair was
tbe fact that Pflnce Carol. In England
with his female companion, plotted to
take advantage of the assemblage of
the peasants to gain possession of the
throne. He Intended to seod airplane#
over to ecatter messages to the peo
ple, and perhaps to By there himself.
Rot the British government discovered
the plan, frustrated It and ordered
Carol to leave the country. It was ru
mored he might come to the United
States. Leaders of the peasants' party
denied that they had any part In
Carol's scheme.
PREMIER MUSSOLINI. In an official
note to Secretary Kellogg, states
that Italy Is entirely willing to collab
orate with the United States In the
negotiation of a muitllaterftl anti-war
treaty. The State department officials,
however, do not like the dictator's sug
gestion that the United States should
participate in an Internatiohal Jurists*
conference which would discuss the
whole subject of outlawing- war. It Is
not believed Italy will press this point.
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JIL, has
made public two letters to Col.
Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the
board of the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana, in which be asked the latter
to resign his position because of the
revelation of Stewart's participation In
the Continental Trading ? company's
deals that were involved In the Tee
pot Dome lease scandal, ilr. Rocke
feller wrote Colonel Stewart that he
was calling upon him "tevmake good
the promise you voluntarily gave me
some weeks ago that you would resign
at my request" Stewart up to the
time of writing has declined to com
ment on the matter. Rockefeller is
a very large stockholder In the Stand
ard of Indiana, but It was,said in Wall
etreet that he might not be ahle to
enforce his demand for Stewart's res
ignation If the chairman decided to
resist. District Attorney Rover In
Washington submitted a transcript of
Stewart's testimony before the senate
Teapot Dome committee to the federal
grand Jury with a view to his indict
ment.

armored and bannered Fifteenth cen
tury and tbe rich centuries that went
before.
What Wlsby was to the Baltic In
the Thirteenth centnry A. D? Rhodes
was to the Mediterranean about 300
B. C. Owing to Its favorable location
on tbe great highway between Egypt
and Greece, tbe Island early rose to
commercial Importance. Its first set
tlers were tbe Dorians. The people
were thrifty and skHled In handi
work, and tbey soon bnllt up an ex
tensive fleet, whlcb not only enabled
them to gain Important possessions
along the adjacent coast of Carls, on
the mainland of Asia Minor, bat also
pat them in a position to become the
masters of tbe eastern Mediterranean
as well. There were Important schools
of philosophy, art and oratory, tbe
latter having been attended by Cicero
and Caesar.
With the advent of the Knight* of
?St. John an Interesting period began
for Rhodes. This order was founded
In Jerusalem lu tlie Eleventh century
and after many hardships finally
found a home at Rhodes, where It as
sumed the name of the Knights of
Rhodes. The power of ihe order was
also gradually extended over a large
number of the smaller neighboring
Islands, as well as the coast of the
mainland.
'As one's boat moves toward the
wharves, he sees a seaward-stretching
tongue of rubble surmounted by a
round fort which is the mole that
once sheltered the knights' fleet of
galleys and may have home, a thou
sand years earlier, the famous bronze
statue of Helios, known as the Colos
sus. one of the seven wonders of the
ancient world.
Earlier stilt, Rhodes, as a great sea
power, framed the first code of mari
time law. There was to be profit
sharing between captains and their
-crews, compensation for the widows
of lost mariners, penalties for wreck
plundering. So decreed those fore
runners of the hronas Helios. Its
very name suggests a heliograph s{a
! Hon, and perhaps the mirror which,
some writers aver, was set in its chest
flashed messages to relaying ships.
Earthquake overthrew the Colossus,
and centuries later Its remains were
Ignomlnlously auctioned off as 1,000
camel loads of scrap to a Jewish Junk
dealer.

Rhodes stood siege. When tbe Turks
made their second attack, they ar

employed lighted arrow* and Boating
bridges and prepared eight thousand
stakes for Impaling the defenders.
They lost one-third of their army.
But In 1522, six hundred knights and
a mere handful of soldiers, after main
taining an unparalleled defense of the
stronghold for six months against a
Meet of 300 ships and nearly a quar

honorable terms.
