BREACH BETWEEN
ANFU AND CHIHLI
FORGES GROWS
Foreign Military Commanders
Dispatch Train to Investi
. gate Situation Caused by
Hostilities.
Tien Tsin, China, July 17. (By
Tlie Associated Press.) The foreign
military commanders here arranged
Friday to dispatch a train during the
siternoon to Yangtsun, on the rail
way line to Feking, to investigate the
situation caused by the hostilities be
tween the Anfu and Chihli parties.
The Japanese, it is stated, are anx
iows to occupy the railway and pre
vent the transport of Chinese troops.
The effect of such a move, it is
pointed out, would be to save the
Anfu troops from attacks by t1c
t'hihli and Mauchurian armies, and
the other foreign military heads have
failed to agree with the Japanese in
the desire of the latter for intcr
terence. Railway i Blocked.
The Peking-Tien Tsin railway line
is blocked by troop trains between
Yangtsun, 30 mites northwest of Pe
king, and Lofa, 20 miles further up
the line.
Reports of the fighting received
here are of the most conflicting
character.
The train with the investigating
party left in the afternoon. It had
on board American, British, Japan
ese and French detachments.
Proceeding in the direction of
Yangtsun, it stopped at Peisang,
where the commander of the Chihli
forces was found. The commander
stated that he had been forced to
retreat by the insistence of the Japa
nese troops posted at Yangtsun thai
he remove his troops and guns to
a distance of two miles either side
of the railway, the effect of which
was to create a gap of four miles
in his front.
To avoid a Chino-Japancse inci
dent, he added, he was compelled to
tetreat to Peisang.
Find Troops at Yangtsun.
The train proceeded to Yangtsun,
where the Anfu troops and the Jap
anese detachment were found. The
Japanese commander, it is stated,
admitted giving the order told of
by the Chihli commander. The Jap
anese officer said the proximity of
the Chihli troops endangered his
post. He did not appear to con
sider the presence of the Anfu forces
in the same light.
The Chihli forces from Paotingfu,
it is announced in reports received
today, attacked the Anfu troops in
that region and drove them back ten
miles with heavy casualties.
An active recruiting movement oil
the part of the students is in pro
gress here. ,

LEADERS OF DRY
FORGES ARRIVE
FOR CONVENTION
Sentiment ' Strong for Bryan
As Presidential Nominee
. Expect Woman for Vice
President on Ticket.
Lincoln. Xeb., July 17., (Special.)
Although the national prohibition
convention will not be called to or
der until Wednesday; July 21, prom
inent members of tjie party have be
gun to arrive and it is expected that
there, will be about 700 or 800 in at
tendance, representing every state in
tbx union except three southern
states. '
Aaron S. Watkins of Illinois will
be they temporary chairman; VirgiJ
Hinshaw, national chairman, will ar
rive Tuesday and the national com
mittee will then hold its "first ses
sidn. There appeans to be an almost
unanimous feeling that William J.
Bryan will be the nominee for presi
dent, though that individual has''
given no public demonstration of his
ideas regarding the matter. However,
the idea is not unanimous. James
Gilbert Mason, who was' once a pro
hibition candidate for governor of
New Jersey, rather opposes the idea
of making Bryan the nominee. He
thinks there is a scheme on foot to
uopiinate Bryan, divide the solid
south and insure the election of Seu
ator Harding.
It is understood that should the
Bryan program not go through suc
cessfully that Henry Ford or Rich
ard, P. Hobsons might be placed at
the party head. There is also con
siderable sentiment favorable to a
woman as a candidate for vice presi
dent. Governor McKelvie will greet the
convention with the address of wel
come on Wednesday.

Good Prospects for Grain ,
In Valley County District
Ord, Xeb., July 17. (Special.)
A recent survey of the grain
district in Valley county shows a
very encouraging expectation for a
real crop this year. Especially is this
so in the sandhills of Garfield and

have already harvested their rye and
are working on their wheat. Corn
is exceptionally good in these dis
tricts, in some places even better

Detective Agency, who has" con
tinued to push his inquiry into the
mysterious murder, all agreed t4
day that clues, including new de
velopments recently received from
confidential sources, point to this
theory.
Information now possessed by
Miss Ballard indicates the girl, who
was killed, came to Omaha from
Toledo and was identified' with a
gang of local law-breakers, who after
the murder went to Detroit but re
turned to Council Bluftj where they
remained until a short time ago.
The road house in which the girl
was killed is on. East. Locust and is
in Iowa territory.
It is expected Iowa authorities will
be called in before the resumed in
vestigation is continued.
The road house formerly was
known as "Fatty's Place." It also
was operated at one time by Mayme
Kelly.
Miss Ballard some time ago made
a trip to Denver and Colorado, but
that prated merely to be a blind
clue.
Guy Hyers, chief state agent, said
yesterday he had been assisting Miss
Ballard for the last month, but that
his department had as yet. uncov
ered no information which would
shed any light on the identity of the
murdered girl or her slayers.

Yacht Race Called Off
Because of Light Winds
(Continued From Fag- On.)
destroyer Goldsborough, ofliciri!
press boat, placed Shamrock 400
yards ahead of Resolute, but 700
yards to leeward.
At 2:45 p. in. the steam yacht
Corsair, official guide boat, headed
for the first turning mark, apparently
to give the yachts the course as ar
ranged with the race committee.
(Shamrock Gains Speed.
Seen from Long Beach, when ap
proximately 15 miles distant, the rac
ing yachts appeared to be sailing
neck to neck.
At i.iii when tne yacnts were
nearing the first turn, they showed
little change in position from the
start, as viewed from Long Beach.
At 3 o'clock the yachts were still
holding the starboard tack which
they took on crossing the starting
line.
Resolute was more than half a
mile to windward of Shamrock and
less than half that distance eastern.
At 3:02 p. m. Resolute tacked to
port and headed for the mark, Sham
rock taking 30 seconds later, with
Resolute nc.'iily a mile ahead.
At 3:15 the wind hud increased io
six knots. Shamrock took in its
f. umber three baby jib topsail and
set a smaller one rather slowlv.
Resolute gained a trifle during the
hliit't.
The yachts picked up more breeze
while out at sea and at 3:20 were
moving along farily fast. Resolute
still maintained its distinct ad
vantage over its rival, and at this
time, barring accident, looked to be
winner as Shamrock had to allow it
six minutes and 40 seconds handi
cap. Resolute carried stay sails, jib.
No. 2 baby jib topsails, maiusaili
and club top sails. Shamrock car
ried main sails, club topsails, stay j
sails, jib and baby topsails. d
Shamrock was first to break awav-y.
to starboard at 3:21, followed at
once by Resolute. Shamrock held
it only three minutes when she came
about in port again being very slow
in slays. Resolute held on.
Resolute went about on the star
board tack at precisely 3:30 whila
the Lipton entry came about on
the port tack again splitting tacks
with the defender.
