RosENTHAL SLAIN

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 16. = Jacob
Rosenthal, an aged American was
stabbed to death by his bandit cap
tors on Wednesday night when the
troops closed in on them, authorltles
were informed today.
Having failed to receive the $4,000
ransom demanded and being hampered
in their flight by their aged captive,
the criminals killed him rather than
let him be rescued alive by the fed
eral troops with whom they weGe en-
gagged in a running fight after Il
ruse to trap the outlaws failed.
The tragedy occurred in wild
country less than 40 miles from Mex
leo City. The federal troops had
tracked down the bandit gang and
killed two of them when the pursuit
was halted by the recovery of Rosen-
thars body. Later the pursuit was
resumed.
Officials admitted in Mexico City
after news of the murder had reach
ed here that ransom had been de-
manded and that it was planned to
trap the bandits by pretending to
send the money. Soldiers were posted
to capture the bandits when they ap-
peared but the ruse failed.
RosenthaHs body bore many knife
wounds 1t was taken to 'Cuernavaca
by his son-in-law, Joseph Ruff and
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack j. Zahler.
1t will be brought to Mexico City
to wait the arrival of his wife who
now is on her way here from New
York The troops have been ordered
to redouble their efforts to extermi-
nate the bandits. The American Of
ficials are convinced that the Mex
ican government made every effort
possible to rescue Rosenthal and cap
ture the outlaws.

British naval party Of 40 men was first
attacked and lost half its personnel

several being at Hankow and Wu-
chang. These cities, on opposite shores,
are held respectively by the southern
and northern Chinese armies, engaged
