FIGHTING RENEWED
IN CHINESE BANDIT
LAIR IN MOUNTAINS
Mystery Attached to Re-
sumption of Battle; Captives
Describe Conditions.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TIENTSIN, May 25-Considerable
mystery is attached to heavy firing
heard about six miles north of Tsa-
ochwang last night in the direction
of the Paotzuku stronghold Of the
Suchow train bandits. according TO
advices received here.
1t is assumed that the brigands may
have encountered government troops
and are attempting to escape to the
hills in the rear of PaotZuku or that
more bandits have joined the outlaws
who are holding the foreign captives
in the mountains, and the combined
forces are attempting to break the
government Gordon which is sup
posed to have surrounded the noun
tain retreat. Another theory is that
the bandits were. fighting among
themselves.
Although messengers arriving from
Paotzuku informed the relief workers
at Tsaochwang that the captives had
been removed two miles farther Dack
in the mountains, letters received
from the bandit stronghold do not
mention the removal.
Demands Greater.
A letter sent out by John B. Pow
ell. Shanghai newspaper man, stated
that the bandits now demand that
the Chinese government enroll 10,oOo
of their number in the arm. This
would give them control of the south
ern part of the Shantung province.
In addition it was stated the bri-
gands ask a half years pay which
they claim as due for previous army
service.
A deputation of local gentry re-
turned to Tsaochwang from the Paot-
zuku stronghold with the information
that the bandits had agreed to send a
representa- under escort, together
with a paroled captive. to treat with
government officials for the release OF
the foreign prisoners.
Previous cable dispatches from
Shanghai stated that John b. Powell
had been paroled by the bandits TO
take part in new conferences for the
release of the captives.
Describes Mountain Lair.
A further description of the sum-
nit of Paotzuku mountain, where
several Americans have been held by
the Shantung bandits, was contained
in a communication today from Maj.
Roland w. Pinger to the Associated
Press.
Just how high the peak Is we are
unable to tell,' said Maj. Plnger. but
every morning fog and clouds are
seen hundreds of feet below us, with
mountain peaks sticking out here and
there. Paotzuku top consists of two
acres, pear-shaped, with a periphery
surrounded by a line of trenches and
dugouts Another line defends the
inner part. Water is stored in three
tanks, each of a thousand gallons,
and there are many jars which are
uncovered during rain. Food suffi-
cient to Withstand quite siege is
stored in the dugouts.
The only entrance to the top Is on
the west sideIAa sort of stairway out
of the rocks-and 1t is guarded by
three banditsl The prisoners are al
lowed to wander, but at night guards
sleep near them. The number of Chi
nese prisoners, l estimate, at forty
half of them children, aged from five
to twelve.
Several are but living skeletons,
probably from disease and not from
starvation. Their clothes indicate
that they are from good families.
Some have been in captivity for more

ONLY Il AUTO|STS
IN TRAFFIC NET"
Few Arrests Include Owner
of Car Tagged ''0ut of
Order; Gone for Tools"

With only seventeen arrests made
in the first precinct up to noon, the
motorists of Washington today dis
played spirit of cooperation in
cbeying the special traffic regulations
for the Shrine convention.
One policeman found a machine
parked on Z street, bearing this sign:
Out of order-gone for tools"
According to Capt. E. W. Browne.
the officer waited and when the
driver returned he had no difficulty
in driving the car to the station,
where he left $40 collateral.
The third and sixth precincts,
which cover sections of the no-park-
ing area. did not find any violations
this morning.
Scores of motorists left their ma
chimes tucked safely away in the ga
RACES this morning and stretched
their limbs as they reached for
straps on the street cars. Others who
live in far-distant suburbs drove to
the edge of the forbidden zone and
walked the remainder of the way to
their offices.
Motorists Watch Arrows.
Motorists driving through the
downtown section had to proceed
cautiously and keep their eyes peeled
for the arrows on the lamp-posts
which indicated the one-way streets.
Police officials expressed the belief
at noon that the results obtained this
morning were gratifying. considering
the drastic nature of the regulations
and the fact that scores of persons
have been accustomed day after day
to park in certain place.
The no-parking area is bounded
roughly. by 9Th and Goth, B and K
streets, and within that territory there
are more than score of one-way
streets.
The police, however, have tackled a
yellow arrow on practically every
lamp-post, and If you keep going in the
direction of the arrow you will not
come to collateral grief.

Serious damage was inflicted upon

water from the harbor, which holds
many barges loaded with coal ready
for the French to transport down
the Rhine.
Thousands of windows within a

The genii of modern machinery is
busy dragging to Washington from
the four corners of the United States
long strings of steel Pullman homes"
which are to. rear overnight Aladdin
cities housing from 10000 to 10000
Inhabitants each in Benning, Ecking-

of Shrine week.
When the sun sets one week from
today 1t will behold there nothing
more interesting than row after row
of newly laid steel rails. But the
next morning 1t will shine upon thriv-
ing cities, complete in every civic de-
tail from Fairgrounds and public
baths to well organized police and
fire departments. 1t will be, accord
ing to those who have seen the plans
in advance. the triumph of American
railroading.
Shriners from the south and south
west may set up house in the Pull
man car that brought them here and
call Alexandria home" during the
week of the convention. Similar ar
rangements have been made at Ben

man cities as comfortable and safe
as the best protected home in Wash
tngton.
500 I'm Alexandria.
In Alexandria alone 500 Pullman
homes" are to be parked. 1t is ex-
pected they will house close to 10000
men, women and children. New tracks
have been laid to accommodate the un-
precedented traffic and regular streets
have been laid out. There will be a
special police force and a modern fire
department to guard the visitors from
those dangers and every convenience
of home will be installed.
There Will be Fairgrounds for the
children when their parents think 1t
best not to bring them over to Wash
care for them in the absence of their
parents. Dining car restaurants will
run full blast day and night. There
the visitors may purchase anything
from a ham sandwich to welsh
rarebit from sun-up to sun-up. Shut
tie trains will run direct from the
Aladdin city to Union station and
the station at 7th street and Virginia

even be possible to buy necessary

ZOO Cars at lexington.
Another 700 cars of the Pennsyl-
vania and Baltimore and Ohio rail-
roads will occupy the yards at Eek
ington. 1t is expected that at least
40, 900 persons will spend at least part
of their time in them during the
Shrine convention. The Baltimore and
Ohio railroad has cleared out one of
it's huge warehouses there and turned
1t into an attractive and complete res
taurant for the benef1t of the visitors.
Just how many more cars will be d.
verted to Benning has not yet been
determined.
This plan will also relieve conges-
ton at Union station, where a capac-
ity crowd is expected to pass into the
city anyhow. No pains have been
spared by the terminal authorities,
however, to keep the crowds moving
in and out in an orderly fashion.
Special guards will be on duty day
and night and information booths will
be placed in different sections of the
big building, where strangers will be
given directions how to reach any
place or part of the city by the least
expensive and quickest route.

lives up to it's titles with startling

A thinker wrote 1.-THE Power of
a Lie" Johann Bojer, Norwegian play
wright and novelist, who expressed
his thoughts of deceit in the two fields
of the stage and the novel and then
sold the remarkable story to Univer-
sal for picturization. Charles Ken
yon, author of "Kindling," called by
the Drama League one Of Americas
five greatest plays, prepared the
screen scenario. George Archainbaud,
a gifted French director, guided the
filming.
1.-THE Power Of a Lie" is a bitter
denunciation of the little d~eceits, "the
white lies of evasion" as they are
sometimes called, which so many
people practice without realizing their
harm. "The Power of a Lie" is the
fearful power of a terrible dragon
that feeds from the follies of frivolous
speakers. 1t grows from every mis-
speech, profits by slips"
