Indemnity for Chinese Bandit
Captiues Nearing 4 agreement

Amicable agreement on the indem-
nifty to be paid by the Chinese gov
ernment to the twenty-seven foreign
ers captured by Chinese bandits on
May G, and held prisoners for some
time, seems near, according to the
Associated Press.
The attitude of the United States
government in discountenancing any
inflated demands by nationals, seems
to have dominated the negotiations
by the diplomatic corps at Peking.
A figure suggested in the course of
the discussion of indemnity in Peking
was that each of the persons captured d
be paid $500 for each of the first
three days of captivity and 500 a
day for the remaining period.
The foreigners captured by the
bandits included eight Americans,
several of whom were held until June
IL when general release was effected
on an agreement between the bandit
leaders and the Chinese government.
On the basis of the suggested indem-
nifty payments, those who were not
released before June IL would re-
ceive approximately $4,000. ,.-.

of the indemnity negotiations was

SENTENCED TO JAIL
Given Ninety Days for Alleged Con.
temptuous Editorial
Matter.

BY the Associa ted Press.
LAS VEGAS, n. NJ, July 14.-Carl
c. Magee, editor of the Albuquerque
Tribune, was found guilty OF contempt
in District Judge B. ]. Leahy's court
here and sentenced to ninety days in
the county Jail on each of four cita-
tions, the sentences to run consecu-
lively, and. in addition. fined 81 and
costs on each of the seven counts in
the citations.
The Magee Publishing Company,
which issues the Tribune, was fined
$1,000 on each of three counts and
s1,050 on another, a total of S4,05O,
in the same connection.
The publishing company was CO.
defendant with Magee, cited to ap-
pear and show cause why it should
not be adjudged guilty of contempt
contemptuous editorials written by
Magee. The court found Magee and
the company equally guilty.
Magee. in his writings, had charged
that Judge Leahy's court and vari-
Gus county officials of San Miguel
county were Influenced by q political
machine. Shortly after Magee had
been found guilty of contempt he
was served with another contempt
citation based upon an editorial in
his paper. The new citation is re-
turnable July 21.
A group of Magee's influential po-
litical friends here met to determine
upon course of action. 1t is gen.

to indicate that the figures given
above finally had been agreed upon
and formally accepted by the Chinese
government. 1t is to be recalled. how
ever. that the Chinese government al
ready has made known it's willingness
to pay indemnity upon any basis
which the representatives of the for
eign powers decide as fair.
The attitude of the Washington
government throughout the negotia-
tions in Peking has been against any
inflated indemnity demands. Instruc-
tions to Minister Schurman are un-
derstood to have stressed the desire
that no undue advantage should be
taken of the Chinese government in
the circumstances.
To Weigh Each Case.
1t also has been made clear that
the case of each foreigner who was a
victim of the bandit outrage should
be weighed on its merits, particu-
larly with relation to any special
claims based on allegations of hard
ships suffered or financial losses or
physical ailments resulting from the
captivity.
1nasmuch as the indemnity figures
given above seem to have been gen.
orally regarded by the Peking diplo-
mats as fair, it is assumed here that
the other powers took the same posi-
ton, and that excessive claims which
might be submitted by various ma
tionals would not be found acceptable
by their governments.

Mrs. Creighton Acquitted of

NEWARK, N. j., July IA su-
preme court jury returned a verdict
Of not guilty against Mrs. Mary o.
f. Creighton last night, and for the
second time in three weeks. she was
acquitted of a charge of murder.
After standing as co-defendant with
her husband on a charge of poison
ing her nineteen-year- brother,
Charles Avery, and being acquitted
on June %, Mrs. Creighton was
placed on trial alone for the death
of Mrs. Annie Creighton, her mother
in-law.
AS in the first trial, the state
attempted to prove that Mrs. Creigh-
ton had benefited financially through
the death of her mother-in-law, and
that her death had occurred by pois-
oning. Expert testimony offered by
the defense was given to prove that
traces of poison found in the body
of Mrs. Creighton were not sufficient
to cause death.
After celebrating three and a hall
hours last night, a jury returned a
verdict of not guilty: A third indict-
ment is pending against Mrs. Creigh-
ton. 1t charges her with attempting
to obtain merchandise from a Newark
department store under false pre-

100000 SUIT LOST
by BANK |NST.LOU|S
Case Grew Out of Refinancing
of Tennessee Railroad,
in 1906.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, July 14-One of the
suits growing out of the attempt of St.
Louis capitalists to reorganize the
Tennessee Railroad Company in 1906
was decided yesterday in federal
court in favor of II. Clay Pierce. New
York capitalist, and formerly of st.
Louis. Special Master Joseph W.
Jamison holding that Mr. Pierce was
entitled to collect S1,067,446 from the
National Bank of Commerce. whose
er-claim of 100000 made against
Mr.. Pierce was disallowed
Based on Old Notes.
The suit decided yesterday was
| based on notes of the Tennessee Con-
struction Company, amounting to
100000, issued in favor of the bank
and secured by $750.000 in bonds of
the railroad and S25G.000 in bonds OF
the Nashville Terminal Association.
The collateral and interest were
guaranteed by Jacob L. Van Blarcom.
late president of the National Bank of
Commerce, and in addition the inter-
est payments were guaranteed by
Mr.. Pierce.
The bank later obtained a judgment
of 100000 against Mr.. Pierce. when
latter paid S419.000 of the Judgment
but declined to remit the full amount
until he had regained the collateral
by which the loan had been secured.
The bank, however. retained the Sc
curities collateral on a note of
100000 of the Tennessee Construc-
tion Company, for which, the records
showed, Mr.. Pierce had not been a
guarantor.
In New York Bank.
Mr.. Pierce then ascertained that
the s250,000 railroad bonds had been
turned over to the Chase National
Bank of New York and the suit de-
cided yesterday was instituted for
the recovery of the bonds as well as
$4,000 which, it was alleged. repre-
sented dividends from the Van Blar-
com estate which were to have been
applied to the 100000 notes. The suit
was filed March "a, 1920, in the
United States district court here. The
bank, in turn filed a suit on the
grounds that Mr.. Pierce was liable for
the 100000 borrowed by the con-
struction company and asked judg-
ment plus interest, amounting in all
to 100000.

sary to good citizenship. .E4
Ali of this was admitted by tho
union officials. but they asked what
they could do in the way of cOmpeIl-
ing their members to work for $l2 q
day when contractors geuera1ir
throughout the city were paying SIS
day for the same amount OF WORK.
An effort previously to have the men
come to work with the understanding
that they could work Sundays at 81
a day in order to enhance the weeks
pay failed because the men who got
double time on Sunday took day off
on Monday. During the war double
time work failed in the same WAY.
Everybody would work on Sunday
and few. If anybody. on Monday.
The suggestion was made that the
union officials might draft brick
, layers from the SIC jobs and compel
them to work on the schools at tho
unions own wage scale of $i9. It
was argued that this would not be
fair to the men with families; that
they should be permitted to make all
they could. Then another wartime
analogy came in. 1t was proposed to
draft the single men first. At last
however, the union leaders reported
that there was nothing in their con
stitution or bylaws which gave then
the right TO use compulsion on aur
man to work for the union scale when
he could get more than the scale. Of
course. it was against all the rules
they said, to work under the scale.
The trouble is caused by the build
ers, the union officials say. The en-
ployers started the SNOW balling" of
wages and II has gone on at such u
rate the union leaders themselves
don't know from day to day Just
