PORTLAND MAN HELD 52 DAYS BY
 CH|NK BANDITS

PEkING. June 2 (by maiD Al though captive of Chinese bandits for ffty-two days, George A Kyle of Port land, Ore. chief engineer of an Amer, ican construction company, returned to Picking in good health and spirits The bandits treated me as well as might have been expected, he said. He was taken prisoner on March %.
 His release was brought about ton, represented on the spot by Dr. Charles D. Penney. assisted by F. C. Hitchcock. Mir. Kyle's immediate chief. chief. Both of the last-named were for weeks in Honan province working with the governor of the province and the military authorities in Kyles behalf
 No little credit Is due also to the activity of the Catholic mission. rep resentatives of which acted as inter medaries between the authorities and the bandits. It is said to have been largely through assurances given by priests of that mission that the bri- gands were brought to accept a guar antee offered by General Chang Shen and to surrender their captive.
 The bandits evidently regarded me as their best asset if 1t came to mak- ing terms with the authorities" said l MT. Kyle to a representative of the Associated Pess. They shared everything with me even their beds The rayages of the vermin was the most trying of my experiences and next to that was the never ending night marches across the country. Always when we stopped at villages they tried to keep my presence secret, and often they kept me awake so that I might not snore and give things away"
 "Only few of the younger mem- l bers of the bandits gang got rough now and then. They used to draw their fingers across their throats and presumably tell me in Chinese that 1 that was what was coming to me, 1 thought, of course. did not under stand what was said"
 During the retreat of the bandits one of them kept hold of my hand. I had one chance the first night to escape and neglected it. While the soldiers were still firing at us, the bandits and l made a run for it. There was washout in ravine. The bandits all got there ahead of me leaving me on the top of the ravine. The bullets were singing all around me. but if had stayed behind then | I probably would have escaped l hesitated and they discovered my ab- sence and the opportunity was gone. The same night did try to escape, but they caught me before could 1 get away"

July IA ceremony pecul- iarly Japanese. that of calming the spirit of the earth, which is supposed to date from the time of the first Emperor Jimmu Tenno was performed recently at the site of the shrine to be erected in memory of the late Elm peror Mutsuhito. It was conducted with Shinto ritual with elaborate ceremony. and was attended by the ministers of state and high officials.
 The significance of the ceremony. which is usually performed on a lesser

Changing Railroad Executives.

Mr.. McAdoo's latest step in removing railroad
presidents and putting in charge men of his Sc
lection will least help give government control
fair trial There have been whisperings rejecting
upon the sincerity Of the cooperation railroad
utives have been giving the federal director gen.
eraI There have been hints that they did not care
to see the transportation system of the country
operated by him at profit at least unless rates for
carrying freight and passengers materially in
creased. They wish, it has been said, to make
that the railroads will be handed back to private
hands after the and with rates high enough
to insure for prosperity such the business
has not recently known. If the advances
rates sufficiently to make a moderate profit now the
owners argue that they can increase the earnings
sufficiently to warrant expansion of capital when they
return to control.
The financial showing made since the government
took the roads tends to give such
plausbility. Whether they are true or not, how
ever, Mr. McAdoos course is justified on other
grounds. If he is be held for the show
ing made it is only fair that he be given aides who
will be responsible to him and who will execute
his orders. Naming his own leutenants will help
centralize authority. If any money is saved in
nection with the change so much the better At any
rate it will help insure fairer test of government
operation.
