he turned they produced a revolver and
bound him. Then they gathered watches
and rings from the safe, which had
just been opened by Lazerovitz, into a
black bag and fed. Their confederate

his chest and fired. AS the wound did
not Immediately prove fatal. the bandit
then placed the gun to his right temple.
BopSt, realizing what the bandit was
going to do, yelled to him to stop, but
the man fired the shot into his temple,
dying instantly.

and watches was found beneath the
ice of the river about 500 yards above
where the bandit committed suicide, by
Louis Luber of Laurel, one of the posse.
Other jewelry is said to have been
found on Phillips when he was ar
rested later in the afternoon.

CHINESE BANDITS
BEAT2U.S. PRIESTS
Released After Eight Months,
They Bare Death Threats
and HardshipS.
BY the Associated Press.

by tnS Associated fTeSB.
HANKOW, China, January 29.-Two
American missionaries who recently
were released by a group of Chinese
bandits told narrowing tale of mis-
treatment and threats of death upon
arriving here.
The priests, Father James Lineham
and Father P. Laffan of the st. Column
bian Mission at Hanyang, Hupeh Prov
ince, were in captivity eight months
They were set free after prolonged
negotiations between the Marking gov
eminent and their captorS.
The outlaws were given immunity,
provided they joined the Chinese army
and gave up the two Americans and a
Spanish missionary, Father Fernandez,
whom they had held a shorter time
Previously the kidnapers had demanded
100000 ransom.
The American missionaries were in
bad physical condition and could do
little more than walk. In addition to
receiving severe beatings from their
captors they had suffered greatly from
malaria and dysentery. Father Fernandez
was in better health.
Several times the prisoners escaped
only to be brought back few hours
later Most of the time was spent in
the small mountain village of Lakow.
where they were given two trials. y
Finally they were prevailed to write to
their colleagues at the mission.
In their capture last April the Ameri-
can priests sacrificed themselves in
order that other members of the mis-
sion could escape. Learning of the ad-
vance of the bandits on Hanyang,
Father Lineham and Father Laffan
went out to meet them. They occupied
the attention of the outlaws until the
others at the mission, including several
Chinese nuns, were able to depart.

INDIA OPPOSES
REVISED STATUS
Gandhi Plays Leading Role
in Decision of Working
Committee.

BY the Associated Press.
ALLAHABAD, India, January 49,
Members of the Working Committee of
the An-India National Congress, spon-
scrs for the campaign of civil disobedi-
ence, revealed at an informal meeting
today that they were virtually opposed
to British offers of a revised constitu-
tional status for India.
This revised status was evolved sub
stantially at the late London round
table conference, and put into words at
the close by Prime Minister Macdonald,
who offered India an eventual dominion
status, qualified with reservations to
the British crown of authority in for
eign relations, finances and defense.
Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Ma
tionalist forces, who came here yester-
day from Bombay, played leading role
in today's meeting of the working COM
mitteemen, not all of whom have ar
rived here yet. Their informal decision
may postpone peace in India in
definitely.

SOVIET RAILWAYS
ARE IN BAD SHAPE
Stain Appeals for Co-opera-

and Trade Unions.

ny the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, January 29.-Seriousness
Of the Soviet Unions railway problem
was emphasized today with an appeal
Of Joseph Stain to the Communist
party and trade unions to help work out
the dilemma, and a government order
TO effect reorganization of the railways
not later than February 20.
M. Stains appeal is addressed to the
party and to all economic trade unions,
and calls upon them for complete CO.
operation in solving the problem. The
government order, signed by Vyachaslaff
Molotoff, new president of the Council
of CommisSars, calls upon the Council
of Labor and Defense TO undertake the
railway reorganization.
The appeal calls for raising OF the
wages of railway men, better 1000 ana
clothing and other necessities Tor them,
and for the construction during the
present fiscal year of 1923 locomotives.
against 612 in 1929, and $4,000 freight
cars, against 1900 in 1929.
It is suggested that in the reorganl-
zation of the railway management the
supply of engineers and skilled workers
be increased, and that efforts be made
toward better discipline, better work
and a general increase in efficiency OF
workers.
The plan which the Council of Labor
and Defense is ordered to provide Is
expected to total several billion rubles
expenditure, since the present equip
ment of the Soviet roads is generally
considered the worst in many years.

However, his version of Rachmani-
noff's I'm the Silence Of the Night"
which he had included on his pro-
gram by request, and "a Dream" by
Grieg, were done with great restraint
and tenderness and a velvetlike
quality which, perhaps, no tenor of
recent years would have been able to
improve on. And his share of the

extraordinary artistry, since he kept
well within the scope and range of
his partners voice.
Although one must admit that
little has as yet been heard from

though great things were being pre-
pared fop her, since, besides the dis
tinction of being included as soloist
at this concert she will be featured

WANT CONTROL OF ARMY.
Members of Congress Hold Ministers
Should Have Charge.


MADRAS, January 20 (P).-Two of
National Congress Working Committee
released from Jail Monday, Rajagoual
Achariar and Seethar Amaiyya, left
here for Allahabad today to confer with
Mahatma Gandhi and the two Pandits
Nehru.
Addressing a public meeting last
night, both said that they considered
it essential that foreign relations and
control of the army, which the new
British scheme for India reserves for
the Crown, should be transferred to
responsible ministers.
Some of the more moderate mem
bers of the working committee favored
the suspension of the present congress
activities, that is to say the civil dis
obedience campaign, so as to leave the
way open for further negotiations with
London, but the majority appeared to
feel that the premier's offer should be
rejected Summarily.
Must Control Expenditures.
These insist that the projected new
legislature must control all military
expenditures and the country's fiscal
policy as respects currency and ex-
change, and that unless an impartial
tribunal adjudges particular debt as
one raised to meet the national needs
such debt should be repudiated.
Radical members, including Gandhi
himself argue that the legislature must
have absolute control of recruiting en-
ployes for all branches of the Indian
government service.
Pending the recovery of Motilal Neh-
ru, who, next to Gandhi, is at the
head of the organization, a working
committee will not hold a full meeting
until Sunday. These informal CONVEX
sations, however, seem to make it in
creasingly clear that real peace in
India is still a remote prospect.
