Canton Should Account for Two

PEKING, May 30.-While the Amer
lean and British legations and the
Chinese foreign offices are unable to
confirm reports Of the capture of two
British and two American mission
aries, who engaged in a rescue expe-
dition at Kwielin, a village in
Kwangsi province, where two other
missionaries had been reported killed
or captured by the lawless forces
holding Kweilin, the Chinese foreign
office upon receipt of reports from
the legations declared that the mat
ter solely rests with Canton and not
the Peking government.
Kweilin Is 500 miles south of Pc
king, in territory dominated by DR..
Sun Yat-Sen, and the information re-
ceived at Peking is meager and un-
American consulse at Canton.
Expedition Unauthorized.
The information coming from out
side sources to the legation is to
this effect:
The Rev. Rex Ray. member of
the Southern Baptist convention of
the foreign mission board, with head
quarters at Richmond. Va; DR.. H. G..
Miller Of the Christian and Mission
Revs. Jaffray and earn of London,
all from mission stations in the
| neighborhood Of Wuchow, Kwangsi
Province, hearing that their COL
gered through the bandits occupation
of the town, and the troops sefge on
the village had started unauthorized
upon a rescue expedition.
"They embarked for Kweilin in a
small boat and made their way up the
their craft near the village Of Tai
wang and after stripping the boat of
all valuables, sunk 1t and took the
| captured missionaries into the hills"
Canton is the nearest big city to
| the scene of the capture and the
American consul there, Chamberlain,
has been instructed to investigate the
authenticity of the reports and, If
| found true, to use his efforts to Sc
cure release OF the missionaries. AT
lean legations at Peking have ask ed
the Chinese foreign office to take
steps to protect all foreigners in the
vicinity Of the fighting.
| Ship Identity Unconhrmed.
| Meanwhile, the American legation
| is unable to confirm 'the report that
the ship used by the missionaries was
| the american nOSpltal snip ROanOKe
| The forces attacking Kweflin are led
by Gen. Shen Hun-Ying, former
tuchun of Kwangsi Province, who
! was driven out a year ago. Seven
missionaries are Quartered at. Kweilin,
| but their fate is uncertain, although
earlier reports declared that two had
been killed when Shen Hun-Ying
shelled the town.
All American and British consuls
in the interior have been instructed
to warn their nationals against max
ing any unauthorized excursions. The
Shanghai consulates are endeavorine
to keep In close communication with
Peking. r.

is held by some detectives working
on the case.
Three women and a man were TAX
en- in an apartment last night by de-
tectives who found a small portable
typewriter and a quantity of paper
similar to that on which the ransom
demand was written.
Four Deny All Guilt.
The arrests were made in connec-
tion with arrests in Indianapolis, Ind,
where occupants of an automobile
answering the description of the one
in which Franks is thought to have
been spirited away were held. Ali
professed ignorance Of the kidnapping.
They said the persons held in In
dianapolis had left here Thursday,
after receiving a. telephone message,
the nature of which they did not
know.
Scant light on the case was ex-
pected from Charles Heath, Chicago
druggist, reported dying from poison
in a Louisville, KY, hospital. Chi
cago detectives sent to the hospital
expected to question him because he
answered in a general way the hy-
pothetical description built up by in
vestigators of George Johnson" the
name signed to the ransom letter,
and because a letter signed with that
name had been sent to tho police
stating Johnson expected to commit
suicide. Numerous newspaper clip
pings relating to the Franks case
were found in Heath's pockets.
Heath was under surveillance here
after he attempted suicide three days
after the Franks boy disappeared,
but eluded officers.

The parrot, Mr.. Shaw said, learned
words and phrases distinctly at
first, but gradually modified them
so that eventually they became UNI
Ineligible to all except those who
heard the bird speak daily, and who.
because of the gradual nature Of
the change, did not notice the diff

talk" he declared was not con.
fined to parrots, and was an exam.
pie Of the decay in language among
human beings.
what you ought to aim at" he
said, "is to speak English that will
be ineligible to foreigners. 1t Is
not sufficient for US TO be intelli-
gible to one another, because we are
in the relation Of the family to the
