Gus efforts to convince the SQUIRT that
the rebellion was not over and might
break out again but h court was
emphatic. and its decision hat a
state of war Zoe not exist and that
the government has no authority to
deny its citizens the privilege OF a
writ of habeas corpus.
Despite his decision. It is regarded
as unlikely that there will be any
general release of prisoners Is the
government. anticipating the courts
decision. has passed through almost
all the stages in the Dali and senate

the administration which up to this
time have been pursued on the basis
OF military necessity. The repub-
licans talk OF organizing a plebiscite

Many women believe they are weak

This is proven by the fact that when
many of these same women take or

ing symptoms quickly disappear and
they become strong, robust and

men are very much determined that
a clean sweep shall be made of all
poles from the square and the paved
street on West Peace Street. The es-
Inmates and plans have been made to
remove all light poles from these
streets to the alleys, and the remov-
al of these wires will necessitate the
installation Of white way posts on
these streets. Traffic lights will be
installed at the intersections.
Bids will be received at the next
meeting of the board for the con-
struction of modern reinforced
concrete highway bridge to replace
the bridge which recently collapsed

traffic Is going over a temporary
wooden bridge built to sustain only
about 5000 pounds.
The board of mayor and aldermen
are on the lookout for a first-class
sanitary inspector and mosquito man.
This work has been carried on three
years in Canton with very gratifying
results and the people are very in
sistent that this work shall be con-
tinued. The state board of health
has co-operated greatly in this work
and Canton has been cited as an ex-
emple of what could be done in the
way of mosquito eradication and ma
laria control.

PEk|NG WARNED
CHINA BANDITS
Movements Ordered Stopped
by Chinese Government
Act to Safeguard the
Prisoners

WASHINGTON, May l0.-The at
tack by Chinese troops or the ban
dts who captured Americans and
other foreigners and wrecked the
Shanghai-Peking express train in
Shantung, has been ordered stopped
by the Peking government.
State Department advioes today
from the American legation at Pek-
ing said the Peking authorities had
ordered the Chinese troops TO de
sist from measures against bandits
and adopt "pdcific means" which
would insure the liberation or the
prisoners without injury,
An official report also was received
confirming that Mrs. Seaton and Miss
Aud, American tourists. who had
been reported on the train wrecked
by the bandits were safe in PekinS.
Word that the Chinese troops
would stop firing upon the bandits
was received with a degree of graft
fcation by officials here who realized
that encounters between the military
and bandit forces were likely 20 re-
suit in injury to the prisoners. The
possibility of obtaining a release Of
the captives was believed to have
been improved by the substitution Of
pacific means,
Previous reports have indicated
that the bandits did not hesitate to
shield themselves by placing the
prisoners in the face Of direct fire.
These reports also said that the
foreigners faced dire consequences
unless the troops surrounding the
brigauds were withdrawn.
The Chinese ministry Of communi-
cations was said to have sent sup
plies of food and clothing and its
agents were attempting 10 distribute
them among the captives by using
natives in the districts where the
bandits have been located.
THE department has just received
information from the legation at
Peking," said a statement issued by
the State Department, TO the effect
that at an interview between the
counsellor of the legation and the
acting minister of foreign affairs on
the afternoon of May 9, the acting
minister OF foreign affairs stated that
