- PEKIN. July 6. (By the Asso-
- elated Press.) Braids by Chinese
7-bandits in Manchuria and along the
Korean border have developed a se
3 rious problem.
, Torikichi Obata, Japanese m'n-
- ister to China has filed a protest
with the Chinese foreign office
1 against the attack by Chinese ban-
dits June 28. on the Japanese eon
" sulate at Toutaokow, near Chientao,
when part of the consulate was
"burned and two Japanese were
-: killed.
t Minister Obata has called China s
- attention to the fact that Japan re
T cently withdrew her troops from
that territory on condition that
China maintain order there.
i Protection, as Demanded.
I. He said that while Japan did not
Z intend to send her troops back into
the Chientao region, it would be
'.'forced to dispatch , constables to
' protect Japanese nationals unless
v the Pekin government provided
adequate policing force.
A movement has been started to
", elect General Wu Pei Fu president
t of China. General Wu, who is the
outstanding military figure of the
.L North has declared he would not
- accept the office. Advocates of the
r- plan declare that China needs a
strong man at the helm and that
r General Wu Is that man.
t Li Yiian-Hung announced' today
I that he had received assurances
ft from the majority of Cantonese
members of the old republican par-
liament that, they had withdrawn
v their support from Sun Tat-Sen and
f had decided to assist the Pekin gov-
- eminent.
. LI Heady to Quit.
w President Li said that, as a result
- of the assurances of support which
t he had received from the southern
T. legislators, he would sifmmon par-
liament to meet at the earliest date
on which a. quorum would be pos
j Bible when the first business wou;d
i be the selection of a president. He
i declared that he was holding office
j only provisionally, and that he was
ready to retire in favor of any other
leader chosen by parliament.
Despite General Wu Pei Fu's
t, reiterated statement that he wishes
f keep out of politics, the move
ment in favor of electing him to the
' presidency is strong among the
: members of the old republican par
liament, who are arriving daily in
f anticipation of an early summoning
of that body, into session for tba
; lirst time since 1917.
It is contended that Wu is the
logical leader to consumate the re-

Proposed Public Service Commis
sion '.Reform Fails.
Failure to obtain a sufficient num
ber of signatures to the petitions
calling Joy submission to the vot
ers of a proposed constitutional
amendment which "would make the
offices of state public service com
missioners appointive instead of
oiBctive. led to the abandonment oi
the plan yesterday to put the pro
posal on the November ballot.
The measure was being fathered
by' members of the Hptelmen's as
sociation. JJO paid solictors woe
employed, members of the associa
tion taking it on themselves to get
the signatures. Interest lagged ana

We left the work to memDers or

we were obliged to drop it when we
found that we could not present me

Whether the movement will be re
vived at some future date, Mr. Met
schan could not say.. According to
the petitions, which were in circu

POME CLEARS NINE
PREMIER DISPROVES CHARGE
OF CAUSING WAR.
Frantic Excitment Prevails on
Floor of Chamber of Depu-. .
ties After Debate.
BT FERDINAND TUOHY.
(Copyright, 1922. by the New York World.
Published by Arrangement.)
PARIS, July 6. (Special Cable.)
Amidst frantia excitement and with
the floor of the chamber of deputies
Invaded by scores of members, all
bent on embracing him, Viviani
cleared Premier Poincare of the
stigma long associated with the lat
ter 8 name by the French commun
ists, namely, that he had been re
sponsible for the war.
Only one deputy actually succeed
ed in kissing Viviani, but that was
Poincare himself, who rushed across
and implanted a resounding em
brace on either cheek of Viviani.
The. occasion was the debate de
manded by Poincare on the previous
day, as the sequel to a particularly
harsh attack on him by a commun
ist, Valiant Coutourier. The latter,
after recapitulating the familiar
tale that Poincare worked with a
view to the rupture of European
peace in 1914, referred to the now
famous picture of Poincare and Am
bassador Herrick, who were caught
by the photographer smiling in the
middle of the ceremony at Verdun
recently.
This smile is now discussed the
length and breadth of France, ex
perts having been consulted who
say the picture was touched up and
that Poincare and Herrick were not
smiling, but were screwing up their
faces before the rays of the sun.
However, in France trifling inci
dents often have big consequences.
So Poincare communists having al
ready circulated tens of thousands
of his "death smile" throughout the
country as incisive propaganda
insisted on going Into the whole
matter of war guilt.

COLUMBUS, O., July 6. President
Harding in an address here tonight
made a vigorous appeal for harmony
in the ranks of the republican party.
Too many who profess to be repub
licans, he declared, are attempting
to "attract attention to -themselves,
instead of working for the good of
their party and country.
The president said he did not care
to be st "soloist" but added that
someone had to act as director,
otherwise there would be no har
mony. He spoke at an open air ban

WHEAT HARVEST STARTS
PJenty of Labor Is Available for
Wasco County Farms.
THE DALLES, Or July 6. (Spe
cial.) With the cherry harvest
nearing completion Wasco county
is now turning' its attention to the
wheat, and harvesting has started
in close-in districs. it was an
nounced today by County Agent C.
W. Daigh.
The wheat harvest will be in full
blast next week. Last year's wheat
crop, which was estimated at
J.,500,000 bushels, will not be
equalled this year, due to various
reasons, among which was the dry
weather last year at planting time,
which caused thin stands in many
fields. '
Plenty of harvest labor 'has been
available to fill all calls up until
now, at the going wage of between
J2 and $3 a day.
About 25 cars of Wasco county
cherries have already been shipped
east, with five or six more cars to
go. This tonnage is not as great
as last year, due to the fact that
local canneries consumed a larger
share of the crop.
