PRESIDENT COMING
HOME THIS WEEK
Considers Returning Satur-
day to Capital Through
WadsWorth's Territory.

PAUL SMITHS, N. Y, September
13.-This is "goinG home week" at
the Summer White House. The
President and Mrs. Coolidge will break
camp either Friday night or Saturday,
returning to Washington on the same
special train that brought them to the
Adirondacks early in July.
Although the President has not in
dicated whether he will leave late
Friday, arriving in the National
Capital next morning. or make the
journey by daylight Saturday, it is
understood he is giving serious con-
sideration to the day trip which would
give thousands of people in New York
state cities an opportunity to greet
him. Such an arrangement, 1t is be-
lieved, would be acceptable to Re
publican leaders of this State where
Senator Wadsworth is candidate for
reelection.
SO far as has been indicated, the
President will take no part in the Fall
campaign, in either New York or
other States, but it is pointed out that
a daylight ride out of the mountains
and down the Mohawk and Hudson
River valleys into New Jersey would
take him through a populous part of
Senator Wadsworth's constituency.

MEXICAN BANDITS
K|DNAP AMERICAN
Tourist Believed Mistaken for
u. S. Embassy Secretary.
Others in Auto Robbed.

MEXICO CITY, September 13.-
Jacob Rosenthal, retired New YORK
City business man, who came to Mex
leo as a tourist, is held prisoner by
bandits who attacked an automobile
party 40 miles from Mexico City late
Yesterday afternoon.
Others in the party were JACK j.
Zahler. a prominent American resi-
dent of Mexico City, his wife, and
Joseph Ruff Mr.. Rosenthal's son-in-
law, who also is a resident OF the cap
ital
The party was returning from
Cuernyaca from a week end holiday,
when stopped by the bandits All
were robbed. and Mr.. Rosenthal, who
is more than 60 years old, was carried
off,
Mr.. Zahler today said he thought
the bandits intended to kidnap Ar
thur Lane, undersecretary of the
American Embassy, who also spent
the week end in Cuernavaca, and be-
lieves they stopped the wrong auto
mobile.
Cuernavaca is a pleasure resort very
popular with foreigners, who have felt
themselves safe from bandits so close
to the capital.
No Demand for Ransom.
Mr. Zahler is puzzled as to why the
bandits selected Mr.. Rosenthal for
capture, and doubly mystified by the
fact that they made no demand for
ransom. AS they were carrying off
Mr.. Rosenthal the bandits gave Mr..
Zahler a letter. saying: IF you keep
this quiet, nothing will happen to
him." but nothing was mentioned re-
garding a ransom.
Mr.. Zahler clings to the theory that
the bandits intended to seize some one
else, probably Secretary of the En-
bassy Lane.
The American charge d'affaires, II
F. Arthur Scheenfield, later today
made diplomatic representations tC
the Mexican foreign office, asking that
proper steps be taken for the release
Of Mr.. Rosenthal and the apprehension
and punishment Of the bandits.
Secretary Lane arrived safely from
Cuernavarca and experienced no diff
culties during the. journey. Embassy
circles do not believe the bandits
sought to capture Mr.. Lane or that
they were after any particular individ
ual, but merely wanted any foreigner
who appeared suitable for ransom pur
poses.

MAY AWAIT
DUCE'S ASSA|LANTS
MussoIini Likely to Call Extra
Session of Parliament to
Provide Penalty.
By the Associated Press.

ROME, September 13.-The assassin
who attempted the life of Premier
Mussolini Saturday by throwing a
bomb at his automobile as it was
passing the Pia Gate into the city
now is believed to be Gin Lucetti, 26,
a native of Avenza. Tuscany.
When seized at the scene of the
attempt he gave his name as Ermete
Giovannini and said he was born at
Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. He eX-
plains, the police say, that he gave
for his family.
According to the new account given
by the prisoner, he arrived In Rome
on August 2, took lodgings in a third
class hotel under a false name and
began patrolling the streets through
which he thought the premier might
pass.
Carried Bombs i'm Belt.
He constantly carried two bombs in
his belt, with q. piece of emery paper
strapped to his wrist, this to set In
operation the decorating apparatus on
the missiles.
The fact that the premier's car was
driven over different routes between
his office and residence baff1ed Lucetti
at first. Then he noticed that. what
ever route was chosen, the car al
ways passed the Pia Gate, and 1t
was there that he found his oppor-
tunity.
The prisoners personal character
istics are such that the police are not
inclined to take even his present
story at it's full face value and are
continuing their Investigations.
He is evidently a man of education
although a stonecutter by trade. His
family, at AvenZa, Is said to be fairly
well-to-do. Furthermore, he is a man
of exceptional natural intelligence,
and the police believe his present at
titude is one of assumed stupidity.
Lucetti is of medium height, DARK
and very robust. There are many
scars on his body, and tattooed across
his chest are the words: "Vlve la
Morte" Gong live death)
Lucetti fought in the war, serving
with Italy's choicest shock troops

France, residing successfully In Mar

Although the Rome police have
little information regarding his ante
cedents, he Is known in his native
village and all the French cities
where he lived as a dangerous an
archist.
The police now are busy investigat
ing whether in the period after his
arrival in Rome he entered into rela

us. ENVOY CONFERS
ON CHINESE ISSUES
Toxic Will Keep Hands Off in
War, Foreign Minister Tells
Macveagh at ParIey.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, September 13.-The United
States Ambassador, Charles Mac
Veagh, today called informally on
Baron Kijuro Shidehara, foreign min
lister. and inquired regarding Japan's
attitude toward China in the latter
country's troubled condition. 1t is un-
derstood that Baron Shidehara stated
that Japan does not contemplate any
Interference. except what may be
necessary for the protection of the
lives and property of her nationals.
The foreign minister declares that
Japan policy is virtually the same
as Americas, and hopes peace will
come out Of the present chaos.
It is assumed here that Ambassador
MacVeagh,, in his talk today with the
Japanese foreign minister, merely
went over informally the latest aspects
of the problem of China, so that the
Washington and Toxic governments
might be in a better position to CO.
operate in their treatment of the sit
uation.
For many years all the powers have
acted collectively in dealing with Chi
nese internal dissention, and it has
been the custom, particularly since the
Washington conference, TO excnange
information freely and advise together
regarding the steps to be taken.
If the present disturbances in
China are leading to any change in
the policy of the powers, there has
been no indication of it in Washing
ton. The foreign ships in Chinese
waters maintain close liaison in their
united efforts to protect foreign life
and property, but have been careful
not to interfere with the warning
factions except when international in
terests become involved.

LONDON MORE REASSURED.
Firing Continues at HankOw, But Not
at Foreigners.

LONDON, September 13 R).-The
Chinese situation is regarded as more
reassuring by British officials because
of the week end dispatches from the
troubled centers in the Orient. Cheng-
tu and Chung king are quiet, accord
ing to the British consuPs reports, and
a proclamation has been issued IN the
latter city declaring that British llVes
will be protected and their property
must be respected.
At Hankow, where the Cantonese
general, Tang -Sheng Chi, has arrived,
firing on foreign ships continues,
probably owing to the lack of dis
cipline. However, the foreigners in
the city, known as the Pittsburgh OF
China because of it's great Industrial
plants, are not considered in any
danger except from stray bullets.
Just what Chinese force holds Wu
Chang, across the river from Han
kow, is still part of the Chinese puzzle
as far as British information is con-
cerned During the last fortnight it
was several times reported the city
had been taken by the Cantonese
forces, but British dispatches now
say Wu Chang was still held by Wu
Pei-Fu's forces on Saturday, although
Wu himself was far to the north try
ing to round up the remnants of his
army defeated at Hankow. The same
British sources say the Chinese press
in Hankow blames Wu's supporter,
Yang-Sen, for the Wan-Hsien Incl
dent.

BRITISH SHIP FIRED ON.
Steamer Kiangwo Carrying Wounded
Sailors Target Last Thursday.

SHANGHAI, September 13 R.-
A delayed dispatch from Hankow,
dated last Friday, says the British
steamer Kiangwo, having on board
British sailors wounded in the recent
attack by Chinese troops at Wan
hsien, was heavily fired on last Thurs
day while passing Shanking and was
forced to return up the river. The
Kiangwo made another attempt to
pass Shanking Friday, but the fusil-
lade was so heavy she again returned
up the river. An American torpedo
boat destroyer afterward took off the
wounded from the Kiangwo and a
British gunboat eventually escorted
the steamer to a place of safety.
