RELEASE MINISTER
OF CHRIST CHURCH
DR.. A. K. Shelton Set Free
Through Efforts of the
American Legation.

PICKING, March 11.-Rev. DIR. A.
Shelton. a missionary Of the Disci-
piles Of Christ church, who was cap
tured in January at Laoya kuan,
near Yunnan-FU, was released
through the efforts of the Ameri
can legation and is proceeding un-
der escort TO Yunnan Flu, where he
IS due to arrive next Monday. He
is reported to be we'll.
simultaneously with adviCes OF
the release of Dr. Shelton came
news OF the capture by the same
band of bandits that had held DR..
Shelton, OF a British missionary
named Metcalfe belonging TO the
China Inland mission.
Captured Jan. ,.
DR.. Shelton and his wife and
daughters were on their way from
Batang to Yunnan-Fu and had
reached Refueng, less than so miles
from their destination when they
were captured Jan. 3. The Ameri-
cans had a small escort which gave
battle to the bandits with the re-
suit that several of the escort were
killed Mrs Shelton and the chill
dren were allowed TO proceed but
DR.. Shelton was held with the pur-
pose OF enforcing political demands
made by Yang Tien-Fu, the bandit
chief.
Demand Amnesty.
The bandit at first demanded am
nesty for himself and the release Of
his family, which was being held as
hostages at Yunnan-Fu and also
that he be appointed chief OF the
cOnstabulary of his district. Later
when terms had virtually been ar
ranged he stipulated that he should
be. allowed to levy taxes on his own
account.
No effort was made to exert mill
tary pressure against the bandit
because of fear of endangering the
life of the captive. The centra
government and the local governor
took active part in the negotiations
for DR. Skeletons release and the
French mission priest also assisted.
After several weeks Of fruitless eff
fort the American legation instruct
ed Col. Drisdale. the American mill
tary attache, who was on his way
from Saigon, Cochin, China, 10 Pc
king, to proceed TO Yunnan-Fu. He
arrived there and shortly afterwards
at his request the legation tele-
graphed him $4,000, presumably 70
meet the expense Of the release OF
DIR. Shelton.

SAMUEL GOMPERS
ENDORSES LEGION
Labor Leader Answers Query
Regarding Stand on
Organization.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March Is.
Personal endorsement Of the
American legion by Samuel Com
pers, president OF the American
Federation Of Labor. is contained in
a letter from Mr.. Gompers to r. B.
Wilkin, secretary OF the Union La
Dor council of Needles, Calf. ao-
cording to an article printed re-
Gently in the Needles Nugget, a copy
OF which has been received here.
The letter, it is stated. was written
in answer TO a question from Mr..
Wilkin, as to the attitude Of Mr..
GOmpers and the American Fedora
ton OF Labor toward the legion.
GOmper's Deter.
Mr.. Gomper's letter is quoted as
follows:
The American Federation of la
Dor has not made any declaration
regarding the American legion. but
speaking for myself / cannot see
any reason why ex-serVice men,
whether members OF organized la
Dor, or not members OF organized
labor. should not join the American
legion.
Discusses Degton.
When l was in New York City
recently Mr.. Franklin DOlier, ma
tional commander Of the American
legion. asked for a conference with
me, which, of course, readily
granted, at which we discussed gen
eral subject matter of the legion.
He very greatly deprecated that
acts and declarations of a few men,
members of the legion, speaking for
themselves and without authority 20
speak for the legion, should be &C
copied or considered as represent
ing the American legion and that
for which il stands. any more than
the organized labor movement
should be held responsible for any
overt act Of any one of its members.
His declaration TO me during the
conference as regards the attitude
of the American legion toward or
ganized labor was practically the
same as the statement which he
gave TO the press on January T."
DegiOn's Attitude.
The statement referred to ia then
quoted. II states that the legion's
attitude toward organized labor is
the same as its attitude toward "all
groups of American citizens who
are interested in a square deal for
all in the maintenance of law and
order"
