Brigands, Weakening,
Will Soon Free All
Prisoners, View Here

The Shantung brigands who have
held five Americans and nine other
foreigners prisoners for three weeks
in the mountains are weakening"
according to the opinions expressed
in official quarters here today.
T.. Washington's fears over the safety
of the prisoners have been largely
allayed, at any rate, and the belief
prevails here that they will soon be
released Most of the apprehension
felt here over the fate of those
held disappeared when the bandits
failed to carry out their militant
threats of shooting the prisoners
unless their demands were speedily
met

BOOTLEG THREATS CLOSE
DOORS TO LAW OFFICERS

ANDERSON. S. c., May 26.--
Bootleggers and moonshiners have
terrorized the '1ong cane section
of Oconee county to such an extent
that law-abiding citizens are afraid
even to extend hospitality to law
enforcement officers, Sheriff Moss
testified in Federal District Court
here.
Many persons, Sheriff Moss said,
are afraid to venture forth at
night, and persons suspected of per-
hitting officers to remain in their
homes, have been the targets for
shots from ambush. In some cases,
he added, men and women had been
forced to remain away from their
homes over night through fear that
the house would be shot up.

later were captured in southwestern
New Mexico by a troop of United
States cavalry, part of force of

sentenced to life Imprisonment. John

FEDERAL OFFICERS RAID
PHOENIX CHINATOWN

Federal officers descended on Chi
natown in Phoenix and raided several
houses, without finding narcotics, the
object of their search.
Evidences, however, that opium had
been recently used in at least one Of
the houses raided, came to light, the
officers said, with the discovery of
number of empty opium cans and
some smoking paraphernalia.
The officers entered each house in
the district with search warrant, and
every potential hiding place for cons
traband was subject to minute scru-
tiny. The opium smoking parapheT-
malta was confiscated.

ticipated in pitched battle at the
ranch of his father in the foothills of
the Graham mountains. In the fight
were killed Sheriff F. R. Mcbride and

OFFERS AWARDS FOR BEST
 COMMUNITY HEALTH WORK

New York, Aug. 10-As a result of a study of the health departments of S3 of the largest cities of the country, the American Public Health Association has announced its pur- pose to offer a series of awards in recognition of attainment and ad. vancement of community health serv- ice. The. status of the health work in different cities will be determined by personal surveys conducted by agents of the association. and the rating of each city will be based upon plan which will be pre- scented for consideration and adop- tion at the fifty-second annual meet. ing of the American Public Health Association, to be held in Boston October 8-11. This rating will take account of all health work which the city is doing, either through it's health department or local non off cial health organizations.
 The first series of awards will be made to cities of population of 100000 or over which show the most nearly adequate community health service as of January 1924.
 The development of the public health program has been so rapid in recent years that it is by no means easy for the city health officer to make sure that he is keeping upI with the procession, or that he is do ing the most important things first and doing them in the best way.

NEW YORK. Aug. 10-American wage-earners are now enjoying peri od of prosperity, greater even than the so-called peak period" of 1920, according to statement issued by the National Industrial Conference Board, which recently concluded a research into wages and the cost of living.

 The report, based on study of conditions in plants employing 6O0.- 900 workers, estimates the compara- tive excess of rising wages over ris- ing living costs as between IT and IS per cent greater in May, 1923, than in June. 1920, using July. 1914 the last pre-war month-as working basis.
 "The wage-earner was better off in May, 1923, than during the peak months of 1920" it observes in con clusion. Wages in May were fast approaching the peak levels while the cost of living was considerably below the peak and in consequencsi real earnings rose we'll above the former peak figures. zkis
