MWD FORCES WIN'
SIVIASHINGTRIUMPH
IN LDNESTAR STATE
Continued Victories Indicate!
Certain Success at Con
vention for Pre-eminent
Candidate
I a DALLAS, Texas, May s.—Addi-
* tional returns received from Sat
urday’s Democratic precinct conven
tions indicate a decisive victory for
Wfllia. Gibbs McAdoo, candidate
for the presidential nomination, in
next Tuesday’s county conventions
in Texas.
Returns from 922 of the 1,664
precincts in the state, give McAdoo
497 and Senator' Oscar W. Under
wood, 92. Delegates from 333 pre
cincts are uninstructed.
McAdoo leaders predicted they
would have a safe majority in the
•fate convention and the Texas dele
gates would be instructed to sup
port their candidate. At Underwood
headquarters it was announced that
the Underwood forces would muster
all their delegates at’ the county
conventions and carry the fight into
the state convention.
The larger counties of the state,
if they vote on the recommendations
Os the precinct voting, will instruct
delegates to the convention' to work
for a national delegation instructed
for McAdoo.
Joining of all forces opposed to
McAdoo both in the county Demo
cratic conventions and state con
vention May 27 was predicted by
W. E. Lea, Texas manager for Un
derwood.
“Statements by the McAdoo lead
ers are very misleading,” he said.
“They are talking of precincts, not
delegates.
“It will not/ be until the delegates
are elected tomorrow that an ade
quate estimate can be obtained and
my word to the uninstructed and
Underwood forces against McAdoo is
not to be desived by claims of vic
tory on the part of the McAdoo
leaders who are hoping to bring the
uninstructed into the bandwagon by
overwhelming claims.”
President Coolidge was indorsed as
the Republican nominee for president
anti R. B. Creager, of Brownsville,
as the nominee for vice president, in
the Republican precinct conventions
held in Texas Saturday, C. S. Bailey,
director of the Republican organiza
tion. announced today. President
Coolidge and Creager were indorsed
by every precinct, he said. Repub
lican county conventions will be held
tomorrow.
MORE THAN 300 DELEGATES
NOW UNDER M’ADOO FLAG
CHICAGO May 4Z-Of 122 dele
gates selected in Massachusetts,
Ohio, Washington and North Caro
lina, 68, or more than one half, are
for William G. McAdoo for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
David Ladd Rockwell, national Mc-
Adoo manager, said tn a statement
last night. The total delegates now
marching under the McAdoo banner
arc more than 300, he said, adding
that in every state but one, 1 he Mc-
Adoo forces “won substantial vic
tories.” -
“As only sixteen stales have so
far selected delegates,” the state
ment said, "McAdoo’s position is
pre-eminent.”
Referring to the statements of
lome newspapers that the contest
in the national convention will be
between McAdoo and Governor Al
Smith, of New York, the statement
said such a contest “is notice to the
great rank and file of the Demo
cratic party that the contest new is
just what we have all along
•Jaiyied: between the progressive
in the Democratic party be-
W™ he candidacy of McAdoo, and
me reactionary forces of the Demo
cratic party under the control of the
bosses.”
The statement predicted the ulti
mate. success of the "progressive
forces,” adding that the. nomination ■
of a progressive at the New York ’
convention only will prevent a third ’
party movement.

CUBAN PRESIDENT
ARMES IT SCENE
OF REBEL REVOLT
Appeal for Arms Is Made by
Havana to U. S.—Uprising
Declared Local Rebels
Defeated in First Skirmish
HAVANA. Cuba, May 4.—(By the
Associated Press.) —President Zayas,
the first Cuban chief executive ever
to go to the scene of an armed re
volt, arrived safely late Saturday at
Cienfuegos, where, it was officially
explained, he desired to investigate
personally the anti-Zayas and anti
re-election outbreak by armed bands.
The president left Havana in the
morning on a special train with a
military guard. With him were Act
ing Secretary of War Betancourt,
Secretary of Interior Iturralde and
General Herrera, chief of staff.
Coincidentally with the president’s
departure canYe official announce
ment of several minor engagements
between loyal and rebel forces and
of the capture of nine rebels, includ
ing Solano Romero, who was a colo
nel in the Cuban war of independence
against Spain. Five other rebels
surrendered and ten rifles and
twelve horses were captured”by gov
ernment troops, but there is no word
of any casualties.
The entire island is quiet, except
in the rugged country around Cien
fuegos and Trinidad, in the southern
part of Santa Clara< province, the
war department stated today in its
first formal communique since the
outbreak started Tuesday.
Consuls Confirm Quiet
That the remainder of the island
is quiet, at least outwardly, was con.
firmed by information received from
the American consuls. Word that
quiet reigns also has been received
from a high official of the United
Railways of Atlanta.
Statement by Mario Garcia-Velez,
brother of General Carlos Garcia-Va
lez, that from 500 to 600 men are
in arms in the vicinity of Cienfuegos
were declared untrue by government
officials today, as was also the an
nouncement credited to Gustavo
Guiterrez, secretary of the VeferarP;
and Patriots’ association, at New
York, that a battle took place re
cently near Cienfuegos, each side
having about 200 men.
While information as to the exact
number of troops sent to the scene
of the operations is withheld, it is
said that Cuba has 10,000 men in
the standing army, including about
5,000 members of the rural guard,
which is a part of the army and is
used whenever necessary.
Arms Sought From U. S.
The governme'nt is negotiating
with Washington for the purchase
j of war material from the United
I States government, it was learned
l today, and at the palace it was said
i that airplanes were on the way here.
I No details were given out, but at
i the war department the information
I was vouchsafed that negotiations
; have been opened with private firms
; in the United States for the pur
; chase of airplanes. Cuba has about
| six or eight aviators who were train
j ed in the American army.
Announcement was made that
news dispatches from the scene of
the revolt as being supervised to
prevent misleading statements and
the disclosure of military secrets. By
I both the government side and Ma-
I rio Garcia-Velez the belief is held
I that Frederico Laredo Bru, a promi
; nent lawyer of Cienfuegos and vet
i eran of the Cuban war of independ-
I ence, is in command of the rebe
-1 lions forces around Cienfuegos.
' Senor Velez, who, with four other
members of the Veterans and Pa
triots’ association is in jail here,
made a statement today that the
) outbreak was not ordered by the
; heads of the organization as had
been charged, but was started by
the impatient members who grew
tired of delay in their campaign
against alleged, evils of th e Zayas
administration.
Visit of The Stork
To ‘l6-50’ Couple
Not to Check Trial
] NEW YORK, May 3.—Birth of a
i child to Mr. and Mrs. Burton S.
Tucker, the “16-50” couple, will have
“no effect whatever” on plans of
the state of New Jersey to prosecute
them for alleged violation of the
i state's marriage laws in connection
] with obtaining a marriage license,
i Prosecutor Aloysius MacMahon said
in Jersey City tonight.
“The Tuckers will be brought to
trial next fall, just as we had plan
ned.” MacMahon said.
News of the nh of a daug’a
to the 47-year-old wife of the 17-
| year-old Massachusetts boy leaked
i out today when irth certificate
) was discovered in Hempstead, Long
) Island.
I The child was born April .22, it
was learned, at the, home of a phy
, sici ,n in Baldwin. It is named Vin-
■ let. The mother’s age was given as
47 on the birth certificate, but Prose-
i cutor MacMahon says Mrs. Tucker’s
birth record in Gloucester. Mass.,
I shows she was born in 1575. which
' would make her 49 years old.
Tucker's marriage to the wealthy
widow, owner of a New York hotel,
' caused much comment last fail and
his father attempted to have it an
il nulled. The couple, however, resist
ed all efforts to part them and fled
to New Jersey when they became
’ the object of unwelcome publicity.
Later New Jersey authorities
started an investigation which led t<
charges against them for obtainir. :
a niarriagi license by misrepresenta
"i and they were indicted and re
leased on $5,000 bond.
They were to have been tried
March 21. but as result of an agree
'i rnent the trial was continued until
fall, owing to the delicate health of
■ Mrs. Tucker's daughter by a former
I marriage. She said the child had to
ibe taken to California. Later it was
■ ; learned the couple didn't go to Cali
; ’ fomia and a search was started for
| them t to be stopped when they
: hoard Mrs. Tucker was in a delicate
I condition.
The trial will go on in the fall.
PRESIDENT VETOES
BURSUM MEASURE
FORWAR PENSIONS
Proposes Too Great a Drain
on the Treasury) Message
Says lncrease Granted
as Late as 1920 %
WASHINGTON, May 4.—Exer
cising the veto power for the first
time, President Coolidge returned to
the senate Saturday, without his ap
proval, the Bursum-Fuller omnibus
pension bill.
The president, in doing so, inform
ed the senate that he objected pri
marily to the bill because it would
entail an ‘‘unwarranted expenditure
of the money of the taxpayers” at
a time when “the burden on the
taxpayers must not be increased
but decreased.”'
“The desire to do justice to the<
pensioners, however great their]
merit, must be attended by some I
solicitude to do justice to taxpay- ’
ers,” the executive said in his mes- :
sage. “The advantage of a class I
cannot be greater than the welfare I
of the nation.”
The president’s message reachedl
the senate soon after it convened
but was not taken up until late in ’
the day. After it had been read, ,
Senator Bursom, Republican,* New ]
Mexico, who, with Representative i
Fuller, Republican, Illinois, is author )
of the bill, moved that the matter
be laid on the table to be taken up
next Tuesday. Senator Bruce, Demo- j
crat, Maryland, proposed that the)
bill be taken up immediately, but
the presidin gofficer ruled that Sen
ator Bursum’s motion had prece
deuce.
Senator Bursum, pointing to the.
vote of fifty-one to ten by whicn
the senate passed the bill April 1,
declared the measure would be pass
ed over the president’s ’veto, but
Republican leaders, both in the sen
ate and house, express the belief
that the chief executive would be
sustained. The house approved the
measure without a record vote.
The measure had the indorsement
of veterans’ organizations, includ
ing the Grand Army of the Repub
lic and the United Spanish-Ameri
can War Veterans.
Headed by Carmi Thompson, of
Ohio, one of the Coolidge campaign
managers, a delegation of represen
tatives of veterans’ organizations
recently urged the president to ap
prove the bill.
Text of Veto Message
The veto message sent to the sen
ate by the president was as follows:
“I am returning herewith senate
bill five, ‘An act granting pensions
and increases of pensions to certain
soldiers and sailors of the Civil and
Mexican wars and to certain widows,
former widows, minor children and
helpless children of said soldiers and
sailors and to widows of the war of
1812, and to certain Indian war, vet
erans and widows, and to certain
Spanish war soldiers, and certain
maimed soldiers and for other pur
poses,’ without my approval.
“For the next fiscal year the ef
fect of this act will be to take an
additional $58,000,000 of the moneys
paid by the taxpayers of the nation
and add it to the pension checks of
the veterans of the wars front 1812
to 1902 and their widows and de
pendents. This is the effect for the
first year, but the burden upon the
taxpayers will continue for many
years to come. While impossible of
accurate estimation, the commission
er of pensions states that the pro
posed addition to the pension roll will
total approximately $242,000,000 for
the first five years and $415,000,000
for the first ten years.
“No conditions exist which justify
the imposition of this additional bur
den upon the taxpayers of the na
tion. All our pensions were revised,
and many liberal increases made no
longer ago than 1920.
Civil War Pensions
“Every survivor of the Civil war
draws SSO per month, and those in
need of regular aid and attendance,
which already include 41,000. draw
$72 per month. As others come to
need this, the law alreadv gives it to
them. The act also proposes to ex
tend the limits of the war period from
April 13, 18G5, to August 20, 1866,
so that those who enlisted during this
year and four months of peace now
become eligible for the same treat
ment as those who fought through
out the war. There are other ques
tionable provisions providing for the
pensioning of civilians and relating
to the pensioning of certain classes
of widows.
“But the main objection tn the
whole bill is the unwarranted ex,
penditure of the money of the tax
payers. It proposes to add more
than 25 per centum to the cost of the
pension rolls. It is estimated that
it would bring the total pension bill
of the country to a point higher than
ever, before reached, notwithstanding
that it is now nearly sixty years
jince the close of the Civil war. a
generous nation increased its pen
sions to well over a quarter of a bil
lion annually and has already be
stowed nearly $6,250,000,000 in pen
sions upon the survivors of that con
flict and their dependents.
“While there has been some de
crease in the annual expense, it is
now proposed, by horizontal increase,
to pay all survivors $72 each month,
without regard to age. to their physi
cal condition or financial condition.
With the other proposals a new high
record of cost would be established.
Need for Economy
“The need for economy in public
expenditures at the present time can
not be overestimated. I am for
economy. I am against every unnec
essary payment of the money of the
taxpayers. No public requirement at
the present time ranks with the ne
cessitv for the reduction of taxation.
This result cannot be secured unless
those in authority cease to pass laws
which increase the permanent cost
of government. The burden on the
taxpayers must not be increased: it
must be decreased. Every proposal
for legislation must be considered in
the light of this necessity. The cost
of commodities is diminishing Un
der such conditions the cost of gov
ernment ought not to be increasing.
“The welfare of the whole country
must be considered. The. desire to
do justice to pensioners, however
great their merit, must be attended
by some solicitude to do justice to
ta.xpaxeo. The advant 'e- nf a c lass
jeannot be greater than the welfare
of the nation.”

NIGHT SESSIONS IN
SENATE TO HURRY
LEGISLATIVE WORK
WASHINGTON, May s.—Farm re
lief legislation is to be given right
of way in the senate after the tax
and remaining appropriation bills
are out or the way, under a. decision
reached today ata conference of sen
ate Republicans.
In order to speed up the program
with a view to adjournment before
the Republican national convention
at Cleveland, it was decided to hold
night sessions beginning tomorrow.
The Mellon income tax rates came
in for only general discussion, and
there was no effort to put the con
ference on record with respect to
them. It was indicated that the
party leaders would endeavor to force
a vote first on the Mellon schedule,
and should the senate reject it, anoth
er conference probably will be called
to discuss a compromise.
The conference did not declare for
any particular farm relief plan, the
resolution adopted providing merely
that such legislation should have
’right of way later on. Friends of the
McNary-Haugen relief bill are pre
paring to press that measure, but
there is sharp division in the senate
as to just what form farm legislation
should take.
The present expectation is that the
tax bill can be disposed of by the
end of this week or early next week.
Five appropriation bills are yet to
be passed by the senate, but most of
the more important ones -have been
put through.
Senator Watson. Republican. In
diana. submitted to the senate today
a list of 8,555 bankers who had
filed indorsements of the Mellon sur
tax rates with the finance commit
tee. '

SENATORS PLAN CRIMINAL
COURT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
DAUGHERTY IN WASHINGTON
Resolution to Direct Prose
cution of Former Attorney
General Is Urged on Probe
Committee by Brookhart
WASHINGTON, May 4.—Former
I Attorney General Daugherty will be
the defendant in a criminal proceed
ing within week, if plans made Satur
night by Chairman Brookhart, of
the senate investigating committee,
are carried out by the senate.
'ork on a preliminary report to
the senate, and a resolution direct
ing Attorney General Stone to in
stitute criminal action against
Daugherty were started today at
| Brookhart’s direction. He expects ;
: I the report to be completed next
i week. Meanwhile, the committee
I will continue to- gather more evi
-1 deuce on the alleged laxity of Daugh
' erty as the government’s chief prose-
■ 1 cuting officer.
Move is Counter Stroke
Drookhart’s move is designed as
an effective counter stroke to
Daugherty’s efforts to end the in
vestigation of his administration of
the department of justice by an in
junction.
Brookhart said tonight that the
committee had a mass of documen
; tary evidence bearing on Daughertv.
‘ Jess Smith and Howard Bannington
I which would be placed into the rec-
L ord and included in the preliminary
| report to the senate. The report.
according to Brookhart, will deal <
particularly with Daugherty’s in-1
come tax returns for 1920, 1921 anil
1922. Brookhart said that evidence,
already adduced showed that Daugh- )
! ertv entered the attorney general’s ■
office $27,000 in debt and that he had ’
since made cash deposits amounting
to $75,000 in his brother’s bank and
I obtained shares of Wright-Martin
: Aircraft corporation stok valued at
I $60,000.

Wife of Billy Sunday
Badly Hurt by Auto;
Evangelist 111 Also
MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 3 "Ma”
Sunday, wife of Billy Sunday, was
seriously injured when she was
knocked down by an automobile
Friday, it was announced at Bap
tist hospital at noon today after an
X-ray examination.
The blow broke the right pelvic
bone and severely tore the ligaments
of the right leg, doctors announced.
Mrs. Sunday was taken to the hos
pital Saturday morning after a pain
ful night at her hotel.
Mrs. Sunday was hit when she
stepped from behind an automobile
into the street. The driver of the
automobile failed to see her in time
to avoid an accident. Mrs. Sunday,
as soon as she was sufficiently re
covered from the shock to speak,
was careful to exonerate the driver
ofi' the machine.
Billy Sunday suffered an acute
attack of nervous disorder Friday
night after the sermon. He was
unusually spirited in his sermon,
but showed plainly that he was at
high nervous tension. Instead of
being wet by perspiration, as is cus
tomary, Sunday was not perspiring
at all, and had two degrees of fever.
Two physicians stayed with him
two hours.

CORDOVA, Alaska, May 4—Search
for Major Frederick Martin, missing
leader of the American round-the
world airplane flight, last night re
solved into a dogged battle against
j cruel Arctic wastes and a fading
i hope.
But with the courage which is the J
essence of the romance of tnese al
most unknown spaces, searchers re
fused to accept defeat and merely
' pressed on the harder at each ap
! parent setback.
At midnight- Saturday Major Mar
tin and Sergeant Alva Harvey, his
mechanician, had been missing 85
hou rs.
They had practically no food
j with them when they roared away
from Chignik, hoping to reach
Dutch harbor in a few hours. They
faced chill, snow-laden winds and ».
I wild, almost uncharted countr.. (lot
ted with volcanoes and so forbidding
that only a few Indians inhabit it.
All the odds now seem against
' them. but hope has never been
■ abandoned.
Six Expeditions Out
Up to Saturday six separate expedi
• tions in small boats which have
I searched the coves and inlets of the
coast line along the Alaskan penin
: sula have returned home with no
j word of the missing plane.
The coast guard cutters, Algon
i quin and Haida, and the survey
' ship. Pioneer, have steamed over
most of the course Martin was ex
i pected to follow, but have found no
■ trace of him.
j The only word thus far has come
from a group of native Indians who
told of the great-winged "bird” hav
ing passed over their village at the
head of the Chignik lagoon.
It was headed towards the Behring
sea —the opposite side of the Alas
kan peninsula from Chignik —which
would indicate that Martin sougltr
shelter from adverse winds on the
other side of the volcanic range
which forms the peninsula's back
bone.
Sled Party Searching
Working on this theory, a dog sled
i party with Indian guards started at
daybreak today from Chignik to fol
i low o>er the snow the probable
inland course which Martin would
have taken. i
| This will Rad them to Lake CJlig
' nik, a large body of water, now prob
ably ice covered, in |he center of the
peninsula. There is some hope of
finding the message flyer there.
While the search for Major Mar
tin continued to occupy the main at
tention, word was awaited as to
whether Lieutenants Lowell Smith.
Erik Nelson and Leigh Wade, Mar
tin’s companion flyers, had succeed
ed in getting away from Dutch Har
bor in their efforts to continue the
flight around the world.
Last reports were that they plan
ned to hop off today for Nazan on
\ the Island of Atka and, if conditions
I were found favorable, to continu*
on without stop to Chiagoff, on th*
Island of Attu—a flight of 880 miles.
FRENCH FLIER TAKES LEAD
IN GLOBE CIRCLING FLIGHT
PARIS, May 3. —France took the
lead in long distance airplane ef
forts. of four -nations today when
Lieutenant Pelletier D’Oisy, in the
big Breguet plane in which he is at
tempting a flight from Paria to
Tokio, reached Agra, India, having
covered approximately one-half the
distance on his schedule.
D’Oisy took oft from Karachi at
6:45 a. m. and made the 800-mile
i flight to Agra without a stop, ar
i riving at *1:30 p. m. He expects to
j take off again tomorrow, probably
■ flying to Calcutta. ,
The leg was one of the most diffl
! cult on the schedule, the route lying
i over a barren desert where terrific
heat waves majie flying difficult.
The air ministry announced D’Oisy
made the flight without incident ex
i cept that heat caused the canvas cm
the upper planes of his machine to
split and that part of it was torn
away. The plane is being repaired at
Agra.
The ministry called attention to
the fact that during the flight
D'Oisy passed almost directly over
the town of Parlu, in the desert
where the British round-the-world
aviators commanded by Major
Stuart MacLaren are held up wait-
I ing for a new’ motor for their am-
I phibian machine.
