 SHOT BY SOCIALIST
Wadding From Cartridge Hits Fukuda-Radicals
 Rounded Up
By The Associated Press.


 Tokio, Sept 2.-Police today were rounding up known radicals of the city and endeavoring to connect oth- CT followers of the late sakae Osugi with the attack yesterday on General Masataro Kukuda.
 The revolver taken from Kyutaro Wada, who was arrested immediate ly after he had fired a shot at Gen eral Fukuda, contained one blank and five ball cartridges. Only the blank cartridge was fired. The wad- ding from the cartridge struck Gem eral Fukuda on the left shoulder blade and inflicted only a slight in- jury.
 Wada, known follower of Usigu, the socialist leader, who was killed by a police officer soon after the earthquake last year for delivering a radical address while Tokio was under martial law, was seized by police before he could fire a second shot.
 General Fukuda, who was com mander of the Tokio district while the city was under martial law, as- eumed responsibility for the act of his subordinate, Captain Amakasu, and presented his resignation. Cap tain Amakasu now is serving e three year prison sentence.
 After his arrest, Wada declared to the police that he intended to kill General Fukuda in revenge for Osuki's death, for which he believed him responsible. He was not aware that his first cartridge was a blank and thought he had at least mor- tally wounded the general. Material for making bombs was found on the prisoner.

 Keep Him Unconscious

Alexandria. Va, Sept. 2.--Minnie Wilcox and Edward Hansborough of Baltimore. both 19 years old, are held by police here on charges of attempted highway robbery.
 The plan failed, police say. The girl told them with a regretful shake of her bobbed hair. because of her inexperience, and John H.

 After engaging him in Washing ton last night to drive them to an address in Mount Vernon, Fisher re- ported, one of the male members of the trio left the car and came back shortly saying no one was there. They started back toward the capi- tai. When they reached Gum Spring, Va, he alleges he was strtck over the head and. dazed, ditched his car. Recovering quick ly, he related, he drew pistol and held Miss Wilcox and Hansborough until a passing motorist came to his aid. He brought them to Alex andria, turned them over to the po- Ice, had his scalp treated in hos pital, and went back to Gum Spring to hunt for the other man.
 Miss Wilcox, police assert. de- clared she planned the holdup and put all of her 100 pounds behind the blow that stunned the chauffeur, using an unloaded pistol which she threw away. Hansborough, how ever, is said to have denied that the girl struck the chauffeur. saying this was done br the missing man, a stranger to him. He and the girl are both former residents of Del Ray, Va.

Every Available Man Being Impressed - Shanghai Lacks Con- munication With h. terior.
By The Associated Press,

shanghai, Sept 2.-The hostilities in kiangsu and Chekiang provinces have caused the rival war lords of those provinces to realize the neces- sity Of raising armies large enough to last through the long and severe campaign which they apparently consider the situation will bring about, and everywhere in the af- fected areas policy of wholesale conscriptioR is being carried on, ac- cording to advices from the interior,
 Farmers, artisans, coolies-in fact, every man able to hold a gun, carry a bucket or burden of any sort are being pressed into service. The countryside therefore appears de- serted with the exception of old men. women and children.
 In this process the city of Nan king, Kiangsu, has been virtually cleaned out and the well-to-do classes are taking refuge in flight. Houses. furniture, implements, boats in fact everything possible to commandeer-have been taken by the troops, who exercise complete tyranny, the reports declare, wher- ever they go.
 Conflict May Be On
 Shanghai has been cut of from railway and telegraph communica- tion with the inland since morning, but it is impossible to confirm num- erous reports that major military conflict has begun.
 The Blue Express train for Picking left at midnight last night and is known to have arrived at ouinsan but whether 1t proceeded northward is not known, The Ranking express due here at ' o'clock this morning, has not been heard from. Railway officials are without authentic in- formation, but express belief that no fighting had occurred up to noon.
 One unconfrmed report was re- ceived that the bridge at Henli had been blown up.
 One train was started out this morning to go as far as Nansing to transport to Shenghai about a thousand refugees who had gathered there.
