CHINESE BANDITS
 BECOMING MODERN
Adopt American Robber Methods
 and Get S@,0N

Shanghai, Mar. 8 dP-Makinc their biggest haul in recent years, robbers last night raided building in the international settlement and made of with about $50 .n00 in gold bars.
 The robbery was said 10 have been staged in what was termed Amer!can style Gunmen armed with automatic pistols held up the staff and forced the manager to open The safe. The contents were quickly transferred to waiting automobiles which sped away
 Raids By Police.
 No arrests were made. but the robbery was followed by q series of rapid quick raids by police. rThc police wore bullet proof clothes, which had been made for them dur ing the afternoon. They arrested a gang of ef kidnapers who are part "t larger band of tcrrorists. They also released seven year old Chi neso boy who was being held for a -N'.''Sllt VI -op,p'F Sla aU.HNU.)
 Emergency Is Over.
 The authorities of the internation- a settlement on Thursday consider d conditions 10 be so peaceful that 1Aey cancelled the state of emergen- cy which has been in force for ncar- ly year, since the days Of the na- tlonalist advance.
 Recently the settlement authorities declared War on handitry in Shang- hai in an effort to check q grow ing Wave of robberies, holdups. mur- ders and kidnapings.
 They placarded the international area with posters. mostly in Chinese, calling upon the public to assist the police in the arrest Of criminals. They asked for contributions to a special crime suppression fund" This fund reached about so5, ,06G and Was to be used 10 reward police offi- cers who performed mrritorious work ill the drive on bandits.
 Chinese residents of the settle ment. who are generally the chief sufferers from the outrages, fur nlshed the fund. The names of the donors Were kept secret in fear of bandit reprisals. Fear of vengeance closes avenues of valuable informa- ton to the police frequently and makes their task or running down the criminals difficult.
 Marines Spending Money.
 The 1,2o0 United States marines stationed here as the American con- tribution 10 the international defense force, are spending for souvenirs the sum or 1,275 Mexican dollars pre- sented to them by foreign residents Nho do not belong to any Of the 'big five" group of nations.
 The money is their share Of a fund these residents raised for the soldiers of the American. British. French, Japanese and Italian forces in appreciation of the prot ection re- ceived from them. IL was Christ mas fund, amounting in all to $lc,- GOO Mexican (half that in American money) but distribution of it among the five contingents has only lately been completed.

ROSENDAHL TELLS OF
 LONG AERIAL JAUNT
(Continued from First Page.)

Panama trip. It was the experience
 they gained by flying on weather
 reports.
 The weather bureau gave us splendid cooperation" Commander Rosendahl said. They gave us fre-
 quent reports and We were able to change our course on the strength of them. utilizing the best weather conditions between where we were and where we wanted 10 go. And we had all kinds of wealth. IT before We got through. When we left the temperature was six de- grees above zero. At Panama it was S6 degrees above. In between there was every variety of weather-sun and rain and sleet and snow. And clouds. especially clouds. "Over the Bahamas, for instance, the clouds were so thick that We flew lower than I ever had before or any long stretch. At times we were only about one ship-iength above the ground, but we had to come down to get out of the cloud banks.'
 There are no more long trips in prospect for the immediate future. lsosendahl said. This spring and through the summer, the comman- der expects. most of the time will be used for short training flights and experimentation on the field. Most of this experimentation will be in tho development of the mechanical ground crew"
 We'll the commander said, this trip didn't prove anything much. It wasn't expected to be any thing more than a training cruise.
 But it certainly was successful as
 tAat
 just as any ships crew does. They
 stood their regular watches, took
 heir regular sleep and in their Idle moments played cards or did what
 ever they liked. We had hot food all
 the time. There isn't anything un-
 usual in that way in making t trip
 py dirigible.
 But l want to say you cant ever put any mechanical contrivance
 3 board to take the place of the crew.
 Those men and their officers deserve praise for their work. Especially for
 he way they stood by while We were
 banding. Of course they knew there was danger, but they were thinking first of bringing in the ship"
 The commander was tired and
 there was still work to do. He got up land walked over to a desk in the
 headquarters office. The longest trip the Los Angeles had made since she Icrossed the ocean from Germany was ended and he was ready to go
 head with his report.

SCOUT
THIRD PARTY
TALK
BY GEORGE II. HOLMES
International News Service staff
COrreRpOndent


The Democratic Presidential situa-
ton. which is fast becoming sim
plified through Gov. All Smiths
steadily mounting roll of delegates,
may be still further clarified within
the next 48 hours.
Senator Thomas J. Walsh, back of
whose candidacy there has been
grouped the ultra-dry. antiTam
many bitter-enders against Smith,
is considering formally withdra wing
from the contest. 1t was reported
today that it would take the form
of message to his supporters in
Montana requesting them not to pre-
sent his name to the Houston con-
vention.
Since the California primary on
Tuesday. when he ran far behind
Smith and Senator Reed of Missouri,
Senator Walsh has been in consulta-
ton with his friends and sup.
porters.
A number of them have advised
him to withdraw while there is still
time to do so with dignity. Some
of the more bitter anti-Smith ad'
visers have not concurred in this,
and have urged him TO go on 10
the very end. but they have been
in the minority.
Candidacy Untenable
The candidacy of the Montana
cratic leaders to be in an IN
tenabIe position. As matters now
stand. Walsh is assured of but.
eight delegates at Houston, these
being from his own State. And it
is well known in Democratic quar-
ters that the Montana. delegation
was listed in the Smith camp before
Senator Walsh formally announced
his candidacy some weeks ago.
The apparent hopelesness OF
stacking eight delegates up against
Smiths total OF sac out OF the $50
thus far selected has impressed the
Senator himself and his friends.
II Senator Walsh does efface him
self from the picture, it will leave
Senator Reed the one outstanding
candidate against the New York
governor. However. Reed is not
much more acceptable to some of
the forces that have been behind
Walsh than is Governor Smith him.
self.
Reed will not withdraw under
any circumstances. He made that
plain in his message to Josephus
Daniels. the Raleigh publisher.
denying imputations that he would
have anything to do with a third
party movement.
II am Democrat. said Reed,
inferring that as a Democrat he
was willing to stand or fall by the
conventions verdict.
The talk of a. third party indie
pendent movement against Smith
had pretty well died out today, No
Influential party figure took it seri.
ously at any stage, and Reeds
quick disclaimer killed it entirely
save for the more. radical anti
Smith Democrats like Senator Heflin |
of Alabama and Senator Blease OF
South Carolina.
