CHARLOTTE, N. c., September 10.
Exhibiting marks on their bodies as
proof that they had been spirited away
last night from Gastonia and beaten by
an anti-Communist mob, three men re-
turned to Charlotte this morning.
The men-Ben Wells, textile mill or
ganizer; c. M Lell and c. D. Saylors
Gastonia strikers-said they had been
taken to lonely spot in Cabarrus
County, 8 miles from Concord, N c.,
wro-e they had been lashed and then
left to find their way back to ciyiliza-
ton.
Mob Forms in GastOnia.
They were seized, they said, by the
mob, which formed In Gastonia yes
terday after the trial of the labor lead
ers and strikers charged with the muir
der of Police Chief o. F. Aderholt had
been declared a mistrial when a juror
became insane.
The mob not only made demon
stration in Gastonia, but also visited
Charlotte and Bessemer City, gathering
near the home of Tom P. Jimison, de-
fense attorney, in Charlotte.
According to the story told oy the
three men, they were carried TO the
lonely spot, about 80 miles from Char
lotte, and while they were being beaten
a group of opoSSum hunters passed
nearby, frightening the mob. The mop
Immediately dispersed, leaving the men
Wells says he was unconscious tor an

they notified police. They then caught
a train for Charlotte. Saylors said ne
could identify part Of the mob.
Full investigation of the activities OF
the Gastonia mob which last night
raided headquarters of the National
Textile Workers Union at Gastonia ana
Bessemer City and communist head
quarters in Charlotte was promised to-
day by John G. Carpenter, solicitor for
the Superior Court district composed OF
CASTOR and Mecklenburg Counties.
Investigation Promised.
MIR. Carpenter said that an investi-
CATION of actions of the crowd in Char
lotte likely would be made when the
special term of Mecklenburg Superior
Court convenes on September 80 to re-
sumo trial of 16 men and women ac-
cuSed of the murder OF Q. F. Aderholt,
chief of police of Gastonia. Unless a
special term of CASTOR Superior Court
is called, no investigation in CASTOR
County is possible until late in october.
The solicitor said that he was at
hospital where his wife is very Ill when
he heard of the occurrences at Gas
tonia. He went to police headquarters
and with a policeman named Austin
went to the union headquarters. There,
he said, he talked with number OF
persons, attempting to get names of
men implicated. He said that the chief
concern of those In the headquarters
was for some typewriters which, they
claim, the raiders took, and that he
asked that warrants be sworn out for
any one recognized as in the ra1d1ng
party.
Gov. o. Max Gardner, at Raleigh,
when advised of the occurrences and
the claims of the three men who were
kidnapped, declined to comment until he
had received reports from official
sources. He said that when he had re-
ceived official reports he might take
some action.

He reached a rate of 1888 miles an
hour on one run Of the course and
averaged 355.825 for four successive

Stainforth Goes 1868.
Flight Lieut.. G. H. Stainforth, who
preceded Orlebar with a Gloster-Napier

with mark OF 1868 miles an hour.
When the Official announcements fin

as at the rate of 1888, 1853, 1865 and
343.7 miles an hour. This gave him
an average of 355.825 for the four trials.

him an average of 1868 miles an hour

Being Needed.

Warm weather will wander away
from Washington after today, not to re-
turn for many days, it was officially
forecast at the Weather Bureau today.
In 48 hours the forecaster expects
the temperature in the Capital and vi

prospect of snow, sleet or ice skating
for several weeks, but advises that
there will be real need of light blankets,
heavier clothing and other necessities
for seasonal September weather shortly.
Old Sol, the weather man says, to-
day is getting in his last work of the
present torrid spell. Tomorrow, he
says, will be pleasant" with the tenn
perature getting down to normal figures
for the first time in many days, during
which time the Capital and the whole
Atlantic seaboard have sweltered. BY
Thursday the last traces of the hot
spell will be gone, he assures, and the
outlook from then on Is for below
normal temperatures.

Air Raids and Artillery

ROBBERS INFEST TOWNS
IN ISOLATED SECTIONS
Heavy Loss of Life and Property
Reported as Result of
Fighting.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, September 10.-Reuters
dispatches from Harbin, Manchuria,
today reported that complete anarch-
prevailed in Manchurian border TOW.
after widespread Russian air raids and
artillery bombardments. The town of
Pogranichnaya was said to be infested
with robbers, and marauders Of all
kinds were overrunning other isolated
border regions.
Although there have been no formal
declarations of war, Russian and
Chinese dispatches both today indicated
an apparent state of open hostility at
points on the Manchurian border.
Dispatches told of serious fighting in
progress intermittently since Thursday
OF last week, assuming considerable
proportion Sunday and Monday both at
Manchuli and at Progranichnaya, the
western and eastern termini of the
Chinese Eastern Railway.
Reports indicate a heavy loss of life
and of property as results of air raids
and bombings, heavy artillery fire and
accompanying blazeS. A Chinese report
that the fighting extending along the
entire Manchurian border was taken to
mean that clashes occurred between
garrisons at other points along the
1000 miles of frontier.
Chinese Oppose vigorously.
There was a tendency in some quar-
tiers to regard the fighting as the her
aided Russian offensive under Gen.
Blucher, new head of the Soviet Far
Eastern Army. Chinese soldiers, Chinese
dispatches indicated, opposed Russian
movements vigorously, and were said to
have recaptured Progranichnaya after
losing it earlier to the Soviet troops.
The frontier city suffered heavily by
fire in the bombardment.
AS in the past, Both Chinese and
Russians sought to lay the blame OF
aggression on the other army, each de-
scribing his own actions as defensive
and those of the other as offensive.
The Soviet government through the
German Ambassador protested both TO
the Nanking and Mukden governments
against what were described as unwar-
ranted attacks on Soviet territory by
Chinese and Russian White GUARDS.
The Soviet note warned the Chinese
that continuance of such attacks was
likely to incur the gravest consequences.
The note stated that Soviet troops
had been compelled to take firm re-
taliatory actions for the protection OF
the Siberian frontier and its peaceful
population. It was alleged that there
had been 19 new attacks by Chinese
and the White Guards for which the
Nanking and Mukden governments were
fully responsible.
