BRUNSWICK Has the lowest death rate of any city its size in the United States ....... VOLUME XXII. NO. 217. MAJOR FINGER URGES PAYING BRIGAND Has Sent Letter From Their Stronghold Recommending Compliance With Terms withdrawal 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 Major Pinger implored that government troops be withdrawn.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.
