CHINESE BANDITS
 ARE VERY CRUEL
nlke Methods Of Jesse James
 Seem Tame

AArbin. Aug. 10 (CP}-The 1ac- tics of North Manchurian bandits - Hunghudze bands-employed in a recent hosd-up of d passenger train on the Chinese Eastern railway would have made the methods of the American Jesse James gang ap- pear comparatively tame.
 Five passengers We're killed 12 wounded and between 30 and 4u led away for ransom while loot esti- mated at several hundred thousand dollars was taken.
 Ironically enough, on the day pre- ceding the hold-up, the administra- ton Of the railway heard a lengthy report that the Hunghudze were openly camping along railway lines and were terrorizing employees
 Occurs At I \. NJ.
 The hold-up occurred at a. m., when express train No. from Nladi- Nostok to Manchuri was working its way up steep incline between the Sarahedze and Gaolindze stations. Near the top. the first engine sud- denly toppled over an embankment the tracks had been unboltea. The slow speed at which the train had been proceeding prevented the re- mainlng cars from being wrecked.
 Occupying dominant positions on nearby hills, the bandits opened rifle fire. Meeting no resistance, they in saded the train
 Bandit Executed
 Half clad passengers were dragged from the cars and herded together in groups while their effects were searched. A young Russian woman who tried to shield her small son from leveled pistol was killed; Professor Anert, of soviet Russia, 1 who had given up all his belongings, 1 was shot through the legs for no | reason at all and a Russian railway man who tried to give first aid to a | wounded Chinese passenger received I bullet through the abdomen.
 In the baggage van, a mechanic ! from the train crew was forced to open a safe which contained month- I ly station receipts. While this was | m progress one of the bandits shot | at a Russian railway policeman who { was standing peacefully nearby. but | missed him and shot a fellow | bandit instead. He was executed on | the spot t The bandit chief. an eldely Chin- ese. draped in a black cloak and car ' Tylng light cane in his hand. direct . ed all the operations and took great . personal interest in the inspection of the loot.
 Meantime another bandit partv had ralded the next station building \ and destroyed telegraphic conlnuni- H eation, thus giving their fellow hold up men plenty of time to make q thorough job of it.
 Tied in Bundles
 The loot was tied in neat bundles and then from among the passcnecrs < some 30 or 40 were selected, who ! "'ther were better dressed or had i occupied first and second class ac- ' eominodations, were held for ran- A sem In addition they had to act as loot carriers.

Department Shaken
The police department is on the
verge OF a huge reorganization un-
der its new director, Major Lemuel
B. Schofield. who was formerly
Monaghan's first assistant district at
torney. He took the Office of director
Of public safety the first of this
month when Harry c. Davis, close
friend of Senator elect William S.
Ware, Philadelphia republican lead
er, was practically forced to resign.
He is in the post of executive chair
man of the republican city commit
tee. Davis was indicted into Office
yesterday with the applause of ward
leaders and politicians.
Nearly 100 policemen ranking as
high as assistant superintendent OF
police have been suspended and
some have been dismissed by the

years. Mummers celebrations have
been notorious for their liquor. But
this year, all was expected to be diff

PHILADELPHIA IS
NOW CLEANED UP
In -Four Months Gambling and
Vice Are Eliminated

Philadelphia, Dec. 1s.-(UP)-
Just four months ago today Judge
Edwin O. Lewis called the members
Of the august grand jury before him
and told them to investigate Phil
adelplhas underworld.
Now four months later the boot
Logging ring which shipped alcohol
as far west as Cincinnati and Chi
cago is broken. the gambling
"kings" have left. repeatedly for
Cuba and nearly 100 policemen have
been suspended as unfit to hold any
public Office"
Before the investigation started,
bootleggers trucks with gangsters
manning machine guns rumbled
through the streets. Some from the
coal regions of eastern Pennsylvania
brought beer to Philadelphia, while
the Quaker City supplied alcohol in
exchange.
Gambling was reported rampant
four months ago. Elaborate pal
aces" OF chance were numerous and
some of their owners have told
how they paid thousands of dollars
for protection from the police.
One man has told how he lost a
third OF million dollars in gambling.
Policemen allegedly accepted
money apparently without the
slightest concern. AS much as 81, 900
a week was paid to a police captain
for division among his associates in
the police ranks and his political
cohorts.
All Changed
Liquor is hard to obtain in Phila-
delphia. Some hundreds of speak
easies have closed: some forced to
close by the police, some closing up
OF their owners will. The beer
trucks from the upstate towns do
not disturb the sleep of Philadel-
phians living along the trunk high
ways. The alcohol industry has been
checked and rechecked by the fed
eral prohibition agents until now
they know where all alcohol goes to
the last drop.
Gamblers from Philadelphia NOV
ed over the Delaware river to
Gloucester. n. J. last week District
Attorney John Monaghan told news
paper reporters of the open
gambling in the New Jersey town
which 80 years ago had been a
center for gamblers and race track
followers. Within three days, the
hotel which had been the headquar-
tiers was locked. Civic pride had
come to the front and the lease on
the premises was not renewed.
Then this week came reports that
Selinsgrove, Pa, which had had a
few gamblers believed to have come
from Philadelphia, had turned them
out. The smaller gamblers here are
being literally driven from pillar to
post" and now find themselves with
few places to congregate.
The three alleged gambling kins"
Richard and Charles kaelker,
both prominent in local politics, and
their right hand man, Moses Vein
berg-are reported to have left the
country. supposedly for Havana,
Cuba. However, Monaghan is taking
no chances and the three are sought
