SHANGHAI, April 21 (AP)
To the horrors of famine in the
6nt-e smiling province of Shan
tung has now been added the
ecourge of bitter warfare between
nationalist and northern armies
ith Us center steadily advancing
on Tsinan, populous capital of the
province.
Although authoritative reports
concerning the progress of the na-
IN iD
itionaliet drive toward Peking are
lacking, numerous dispatches from
I : both Chinese and foreign sources
i in Shantung indicate that the na-
Etionalists are continuing their ad
vance along the Tientsin-Pukow
i railway.
The nationalists assert that
their force hate surrounded and
' Isolated Tsianfu, 3 5 miles south
of Tsinan and the fall of the for
mer city appears imminent, the
northerners withdrawing toward
Tsinan. "
The dispatch of Japanese troops
to Shantung-ls greeted with the
bitterest resentment by Chinese
here, the Chinese declaring that
Japan is infringing on Chinese
BovereimtY. Protest - meetings
.! hare been held In Hankow, Shang-
f?nai and other southern clUea
while the Hankow native press is
advocating a boycott of Japanese
goods. ,t
The Nanking government has
handed the local Japanese consul
.general a strong protest against
the sending of Japanese troops to
Shantung and it is understood that
the Japanese have cent a special
courier to Nanking to explain
their action.
Growing out of the southerner's
advance, the nationalists state
that the greatest uneasiness ex
ists at Tsinan. The populace and
nationals of various countries are
Mlhing the city for Tientsin and
Tsingtao despite the arrival of
500 Japanese marines on April 20
from Tientsin.
Several local foreign firms rep

WORK TO 8TART OX NURSES'
HOME IX 60 DAYS
Board of Control Also Arranges
To Build Tuberculosis
Base Here
Work on the actual construc
tion of the new nurses' and em
ployes' home at the Oregon state
hospital will get under way in
about 60 days, it was announced
Saturday at the offices of the
state board of control. Prepara
tion of the site was started sev
eral days ago. The plans are now
being prepared.
The board of control sometime
ago decided to defer erection ot
the nurses' home because of the
unsatisfactory condition of the
state's finances. It later devel
oped, however, that unless some
action was taken to provide addi
tional housing accommodations at
the hospital the next legislature
would be requested to authorize a
large appropriation for a new
building.
Because of this situation mem
bers of the board decided that jr
would be more economical to erect
the nurses home than to attempt
construction of a new wing to the
main hospital. Reports received
by the board of control indicated
that upon completion of the.
nurses home approximately ICO
additional patients could be re
ceived at-the hospital.
Records in the offices of the
board of control show that both
the Oregon .state hospital in Salem
and the Eastern Oregon slate hos
pital at Pendleton will be crowded
to capacity within the next year
or IS months. It will then be
lecessary to consider construction
a new hospital, building either
:ti Salem or Pendleton.
The proposed nurses home will
cost approximately $130,000 and
will be strictly modern.
The board of control also has
decided to proceed with the con-
Dalles. There was appropriated
for the construction of this plant
$100,000. Plana for the struc
ture are now being prepared, and
actual building operation will get
under way before Joae 1. Unless
hindered by unsatisfactory weath
er eondltbns, the tuberculosis hos
pital should be ready for occu
pancy next fall.
Officials said there are now ap
proximately 75 tuberculosis pa
tients on the waiting 1st. Addi
tional units of the hospital prob
ably will be constructed as fast
as money is available under legis-

LAKE STE. AGNES, Que., Apr.
21 (AP) Departure of the
of the transatlantic monoplane
Bremen from ice bound Greenly
Island was still further delayed
when illness of Floyd Bennett pre
vented continuation today of New
York City s official relief expedi
tion. The giant Ford relief plane
piloted by Bennet and Bernt Bal
chen arrived tiei rrcm Detroit
yesterday and it had been planned
to fly it on to Greenly Island to
day with all necessary spare parts
and supplies for the Bremen.
But Bennett was running a fev-;
er this morning and it was decided
to delay the flight for a day in
hope that he would be sufficient
ly recovered tomorrow to con
tinue. If he should not be another
pilot may be substituted, possibly
C. A. Schiller who has already
made one trip to the island and
back.
Bennett and Balchen both left
sick beds to start on the relief ex
pedition and the long flight yes
terday through cold and bumpy
air did neither of them good. The
trip was very rough and all five
occupants of the plane showed
the strain when they arrived.
When the expedition does push

Just how long it might be af
ter the relief plane reaches Green

take-off remained largely a mat
ter of conjecture, some optimists
believed the repairs could be made
in a day and that the hop off
would be managed somehow in

that there might be considerable
delay in getting the Bremen into

veteran arctic1 explorer, and Leu

In a brief message to the De

the successful accomplishment of
the 2200-mile flight across the
Arctic ice pack in these words:
"Reached Spitzbergen after
twenty and one-half hours flying.
One stop five days account bad

Later it was learned the stop
was at Doedmansoeira (Dead
Man's Island) 25 miles from Sval-
bard, whence Wilkins sent out his
message. The message was dated
April 21 and timed .12:31 p. m.
It was Wilkins' third attempt
to span the arctic wastes anVt
word of Its successful culmination
came after fear had been ex
pressed that he was lost after hav

about plans for a take-off shortly.
Whether Captain Wilkins ac-

right a Waco plane of which the
local firm had three on hand.
The plane was assembled on the

young pilots started on what they
said was to be a "barnstormiae"
tour.
Both had taken a series of les

but the lessons had been covered
in the briefest time possible and
the youths could not boast much
flying experience when they left
Salem.
Since leaving the city, the fly
ers have had no end of trouble.
About a week ago, they bumped
the plane into an automobile
parked on the flying field at Olym
pia, Washington. The car was bad
ly damaged and the owner brought
suit against the plane owners.
The Olympla court in an opin
ion handed down yesterday declar
ed that cars should stay on the
road where they belong and found
in favor of the defendants.
As if to celebrate his court vic
tory, Kelsey went up in his plane
at Olympia yesterday afternoon,
and according to reports received
here, suddenly dropped 75 feet to
the ground. The plane lit on its
back and was demolished but
without serious injury to Kelsey
or his two passengers. Kelsey was
accompanied 'by Clarence Springer
and his eight year old son Jack,
all ot whom were but slightly In
jured. Kelsey circled the new Olympia
airport and was attempting to land
when the plane dropped without
warning, overturning Just before
it hit the ground. Kelsey was un
able to explain the accident.
Anyway, the Waco plane that
the local concern sold Kelsey. and
his companion hut a short while
ago is all wrecked.
Whether the two men had se
cured government pilot permits is
not known.
Kelsey's home is in Alturas,
California, and Lexague lives at
Olympia.

WASHINGTON. Apr. 21. i AP
With conflicting claims of the
strength they will be able to show
at the national convention in June,
the various presidential candidates
and their managers, both repub
lican and democratic, are pressing
their campaigns for delegates with
eyes turned to three important
state primaries just ahead in
Ohio, Indiana and California.
While admittedly none of tbe
three will prove a conclusive test,
the vote-getting ability of Herbert
Hoover will be shown in Ohio
Tuesday and in Indiana two weeki
later. Sandwiched in between, ea
May 1, the democratic primaries
in California will give a line
the strength of Governor Smith
who is in a three cornered contest
there with Senators Red and
Walsh.
The republican convention gets
underway at Kansas City seva
weeks from Tuesday. Two weeks
later. on June 2 tne demo
crats assemble at Houston. Te
date SS3 republican delegates have
been selected, 31 more than the
majority of S4S needed for a nom
ination. Democratic delegates chos
en thus far total 442 with nearly
300 more than that number nec
essary for a two thirds noziinatirg
majority.
On the face of delegates ac

lead among the republican .aspir
ants, with 233 instructed for hm

den, the runner-up has 175 on
the same basis. Managers for e--h
are claiming more than these to
tals from among the 112 delegates
whose preference has not been
publicly disclosed.
As for Smith he is far in the
lead among the democrats with
301 or 60 more than he polled n
