of government troops
But'With Which Their First De¬
mands Were Met Has Caused
Negotiations to Become Prac¬
tically Ended.
(By Associated Press.)
Tientsin, China, May 11.—Ma¬
jor Roland Pinger, of the Unit¬
ed States Army, one of the cap¬
tives of the passengers of the Su
chow bandits’ train raid, has sent
a letter from the brigands’
stronghold urgently recommend¬
ing compliance with the outlaws'
terms.
Major Pinger implored that
government troops be withdrawn.
Delayed reports state that the
bandits refuse to treat with the
commander of the troops sur¬
rounding the stronghold because
the chieftain of the outlaw
army officers have a blood-thirs¬
ty commander as he is said to
have executed a brother of the
bandit chief.
Hope in One Direction
Peking, May 11.—Hope of
big the freedom of the captives held
by the Suchow bandits at present
seems to lie in only one direction.
It is stated that the matter now
lies in the results of the efforts of
Roy Anderson, an American of long
experience in Chinese politics and the
personal confidant of several impor¬
tant military leaders.
It is stated that Anderson will per¬
sonally visit the brigan,! leaders in
their stronghold and attempt to ne¬
gotiate with them. It was decided
here that the hasty acceptance by
the government of demands of the
bandits, and ordering the troops to
desist in their efforts, has blocked
rather than helped the release of the
captives. It is now realized that the
hasty move by the government has
made the bandits rather suspicious of
the sincerity of the government offi
cials and this will no doubt delay the
matter to some extent.
It has just become known that
a few days ago a very dramatic scene
was enacted at an official meeting of
the Chinese cabinet when J. B. de
Freitas, the Portuguese minister,
walked into the midst of the meet¬
ing, refused to accept a seat and de¬
manded that the Chinese ministers
vise to their feet and remain stand
ing while he spoke to them. De
Freitas is then reported to have de¬
livered an ultimatum for the release
of the foreign captives, declaring that
unless this was complied with dras
tic action by the other nations would
follow.
Schurman Expects Release
Shanghai, May 11.—United States
Minister Schurman said that he ex
pected to hear at any time that the
Suchow bandits had released all of
their captives.
Minister Schurman arrived here
last midnight with his wife and
niece. “The Chinese authorities, in
my opinion,” he said, “are doing ev
erything possible to secure the re
lease of the captives. The
ment of the foreign military forces
has never been even considered.
Chink Officials Promise
Washington, May 11.—The Chinese
government officials have promised
American Minister Schurman that
(they will consider a general policy for
the extermination of the bandits in
China as soon as the present situa
tion, growing out of the capture of
American and foreign citizens by bri¬
gands in Shantung have been adjust¬
ed.

PICRIC ACID PLANT
TO BE DEVELOPED
SAYS H. R. SAWTELL
There has been some speculation
recently as to what would be the ulti¬
mate disposition of the picric plant
which has just been purchased by
H. R. Sawtell, Atlanta capitalist,
from its former owners at auction
sale.
“I will set at rest all rumors as
to what will be done with the prop¬
erties which I have recently bought
near Brunswick, I am going to see to
it that they are developed, as
they should be. I am here now
for the purpose of seeing to that,
and if it i is necessary I am
going to take a trip through the East
and New England states and exploit
to manufacturing concerns just what
Brunswick has to offer in the way of
unexcelled facilities for plants qf
eery description,” said Mr. Sawtell.
Mr. Sawtell said that when he
bought the picric plant property lie
did not intend that it should be
ed. “1 have an aiblding faith in this
progressive city,” said he, “and I am
going to see that this plant is de¬
veloped a s it should be. It will not
fail into the hands of any ‘shark’ von
may rest assured.
Mr. Sawtell. and his son, are both
impreseed with the possibilities of
Brunswick and are as enthusiastic
over the city’s-future as any old time
citizen. In fact they are counted
among the .most progressive citizens
of Brunswick—if they do have their
mail forwarded from Atlanta.
