Fuller and w. Frank MCGEE, chief
partners in the collapsed firm, a
check-up made on gullible persons
who entrusted their cash to this
firm, showed they did not all come
from rural sections. In fact, most
of the victims were from cities.
New York and nearby States
furnished the majority of the 1000
700, furnished the second largest
number" said Chadbourne.
Elm Chicago there was a branch
office so it was easier to get
suckers there than in cities where
they had only an agent or solicitor
for the firm. Boston furnished
probably 900 more who fell for gilt.
tering promises of quick fortunes
to be made quickly by investing
with the Fuller concern. The vic

For Gods sake ask Washington
to act now. The bandits have
moved to an impregnable fortress.
There are no cooking utensils and
no bedding for sleeping purposes.
We are sleeping like pigs. The
way we are living here is a terrible
nightmare. We fear there will be
no releases for weeks and perhaps
months. Optimism is foolish.
Aged and sick Chinese captives are
being shot and l believe they would
not hesitate to shoot foreigners, If
the occasion arises. Four Chinese
were thrown over a precipice suf-
fering instant death"

to express indignation over the in
activity of the Picking government
and the foreign diplomats. Foreign
residents are urging more rapid

is delaying the negotiations. Ac-
cording to a report attributed to
Louis Brubere. one Of the prisoners
released to take message 20
Picking, the brigands have refused
to conduct further parleys with the
military authorities or foreign
diplomats at LinCheng.
Anti-foreign feeling is said to be
increasing among the Chinese.
Leaders in this movement are
elate0 over tne aOlllty or the
Picking government TO compel the
brigands to release foreign prison
ers.

international News Service.
Fifteen million American farm
ers have launched a drive through
their national farm organizations
TO force a reduction in railroad
freight rates before the next
harvest, Senator Haired (Rep.) Of
Oklahoma, "farm bloc" member,
declared today.
Cost Must Be SIashed.
Although good crops are assured
this year, Harreld said the farmers
cannot recuperate their recent losses
unless the cost of transporting
crops to market is slashed. The
drive for lower freight rates will be
centered on obtaining reductions be-
fore the next harvest begins.
"a continuation Of existing
freight rates for one more harvest
will completely bankrupt agricul-
ture," Harreld declared. 1.-THE only
hope Of American farmers is to OBJ.
tain lower freight rates before they
begin sending their crops to market.
If they fail in this drive, there will
be food shortages in many COM
munities this summer, as farm
products will stay on the farms"
/. C. C. Grants Hearing.
A special hearing has been
granted representatives of the farm
ers by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and their plea for
lower freight rates 10 now under
consideration. The farmers also
have appealed to President Harding
for support of their movement.
A specific request for restoration
Of pre-war freight rates on farm
products was made to the commits
sion. This slash. if granted, would
range from 80 to SO per cent. The
Commission was reported to have
received the request in a "sympa-
thetic" way.
II no relief is granted the farmers
before the next harvest, Harreld
announced the fight would be car
ried into the next Congress. Farm
bloc members will champion legis.
lation tending to consolidate roads
running through the agriculture
belt. in the hope Of obtaining re
duced rates by a reduction. of
operating expenses Of the roads.
VIII Refuse Shipments.
Fifteen million farmers are be-
hind this drive for lower freight
rates" Harreld declared. ':If, the
rates are not slashed, farmers will
not ship their products to market
this summer. Food will rot on
the farms while food shortage will
occur in spots throughout the ma
ton.
In most western States, everv-
body is prosperous except the
farmer. A great emigration is now
under way from the farms to the
cities. Freight rates are to blame.
for they represent the difference be-.
tween profit and loss to the farmer.
II the Interstate Commerce Com
mission fails to act before the
market movement starts, 1 shall
ask the next Congress to enact
remedial legislation. Personally,
shall favor consolidation Of the
roads,
If the fight over freight rates is
carried into the next Congress, it
will receive plenty of support from
independent Depublicans and Demo
Gratis. Senator LaFollette Rep) OF
Wisconsin, will lead one independ.
ent faction advocating lower rates
and Government control of the
roads while Senators Harrison of
Miss. and King Of Utah, will
lead Democrats supporting action to
compel reductions in existing rates.
