napped Americans, and other foreign¬
ers. held by the Suchovv bandits in

consequences unless troops surround¬
ing tlm brigands’ stronghold are with¬
drawn, according to a message sent

Doubt In Wa s liinqton
Washington, May 9.—Comment
here today oil the Chinese situation
revealed some doubt on the part of
some government officials as to the
ability of the Peking government to
effect the release of the Americans
and other foreigners taken prisoners
by Chinese bandits and ransom do¬
me nded.
II is pointed out that none of Min
ister Sclnirnian’s reports have shown
what motive inspired the brigands.
The first l-oport to be received here
was communicated by Minister See,
in person, to Secretary Hughes to¬
day, soon after his arrival in Wash¬
ington from China. The report said
that the Oiiinese government is
doing all in its power to effect ail
adjustment of the Situation. Secre
tar Hughes is understood to be grati¬
fied over the Chinese premises, but
reiterated that the American (prison¬
ers must re released.
Captives Almost Dead
Shanghai, May 9.—Fourteen for
owners, including* at least seven Am
eriians, held in the hills back of Idu
eheng by the Suchow train bandits,
are ‘almost dead” from lack of food
and clothing and exposure, according
iu a mo-T.Agc received here ■ today
from Lincheng.
The, telegram receive,! by the Asia
Development Company said:
“Captives almost dead from expos¬
itive, long marches, foodless and un¬
'clothed. Bandits willing to negoti
ate, but troops ordered to capture
them. Missionary women sent to
Tainafu. Those still held by the ban¬
dits include J. B. Powell, L. C. Sol¬
omon, Major Pinger and son; Major
Allen and son; William Smith, I.eon
Friedman, V. Binibce, Emile Gens
bureer, Theodore Sapbiers, Chevalier
'Mtts.so.
The above list names only twelve
captives. but a telegram received
from Max Friedman, at Lincheng,-,
brother of Leon, one of the prison¬
ers, says that fourteen still are in
the hands of the bandits ana that ne¬
gotiations are proceeding for their
release. Friedman’s telegram add
'
ed “the outlook is favorable.”
American 1 oils Experiences
Tientsin, May 9. J. P. Day, the
American who escaped from the Su
chow train bandits, revealed in an of
fiend statement to the American con
sul today .the ^disquieting probability
that the bandits, surrounded by sol
diet’s, had crept, from their fastness in
the hills under the cover of night and
had resumed their march into the in¬
terior with their foreign captives.
Day said that as he was leaving nfili
tary headquarters, scouts reported to
the Chinese general that the brigands
had escaped from their hiding places
on the mountains’ summits. This, in
Day’s opinion, indicated that they had
eight or nine hours’ start on their
pursuers.
Negligence of the soldiers in not
closely investing the bandit strong
field is reported here. If the kid
liapers got away, the difficulty of.
capturing them has boon increased
vastly, likewise the suffering of their
captives, i* as . ... . zl.-. the country ____ 1 is remote,
wild and thinly populated.
At present it is unknown whether
bandits turned east or west after
they is crossed the Shantung boundary.
l! fervently hoped that they will
not turn back toward Kweiteh, to join
th. bandits in Honan province led
by the notorious * I.oa Yang-Jen. ' ““ Mr.
j)ay also brought confirmation that
the bandits held R. W. Rowlatt, a
prominent British resident of Tient¬
sin. Mr. Rowlatt is manager of Reiss
& Company, merchants, and is be¬
lieved to have been married in San
Francisco about six months ago.
