W. organizer for the oil field workers of Montana and Wyoming. According to Sullivan’s statement, the meeting of local members of the red card organization which was held in the stockyards yesterday not with the idea of promoting a strike, but was for the purpose of inftuencing me: bers of the organization to keep away from bad whisky. One may presume that the stockyards was the scens of a temperance sermon, inasmuch the organizer spoke this morning with disfavor against the serving of drink thirsty pipe Ine workers or rs in “ther lines of the oil in the field. It seems that when the men get a few drinks they want to quit their job and go look- ing for a few more drinks. Sullivan admitted that a gang of men who carried cards walked out on one of the pipe line jobs the other day because the company had lo ¥- ered the wases 90 cents and had cut out Sunday work. These men went back, h Sullivan a’so stated that no one had a right to call a strike except the men who are work ing on the jobs Other sources that I. W.

Not only will suitable apologies be re- quired, but indemnity must be paid and those responsible must be pun ished if good relations between the two governments are to continue. In any case, the United States will insist that more effective steps be taken in the future to protect Ameri- cans who are in China on legitimate errands. The incident is regarded as more serious in view of the fact that it comes during negotiations for set- tlement of a controversy over an at- tack on another American, Charles Coltman, who was killed last fall by Chine soldiers. For this the government already has made and has indicated its willing: ay indemnity, but it is re garded as likely that the negotiations will be halted until the Chinese au- thorities have shown a willingness to meke adequate amends for the Btantung bandit raid.

Miss Daniels has the role of Bonita della Guerda, a beaut!- ful Spanish cafe dancer, while Mr. Nagel plays the leading masculine part, that of Peter Gordon. Mr. Nagel {is regarded as one of the sereen’s best young actors and his role in “Singed Wings” gives him ample opportunity to display his talent to the best advantage. The heavy role is played by Adolphe Menjou, one of the best players of ballroom and polished villain roles. Don Jose della Guerda, grandfather of Bonita, is played by Robert Brower. An old man, hardly able to walk with the aid of his cane and teased to exasperation by Emilio, a simple minded clown, Mr. Brower has created a character of great strength. Ernest Torrence has the part of Emilio, one of the strongest char: acterizations in the picture. Emilio is a clown in the cafe at which Bonita dances. He is simple minded but cunning nevertheless. He loves Bonita, who treats him kindly and thereby provokes a tragefy... The re- maining role, that of Eve Gordon the neglected wife of Bliss Gordon, is played by Mabel Trunelle.

The Tribune wishes to take this means of expressing its thanks and its sincerest gratitude to every con- testant In the lst for their part in making the big campaign the rousing success it has been. Starting out very slowly, indeed, for a time it looked like a dismal failure, the big campaign became faster and faster and more interesting until it became the most talked of subject, not alone in Casper, but in this entire state. It is doubted fr there was a home in the entire territory round about that was not vitally interested in the success of some of the candidates towards the home stretch. Votes lit- erally poured into the ballot box in the last few days and every individ- ual cand'date, regardless of his or her standing in the list, should feel mighty proud today of the hundreds and hundreds of friends who valiant- ly supported him or her through the election. The support that was given the different workers proved beyond question that each neighborhood and each community was represented in the election by one of its most popu- lar persons. Candidates Say “All Fair.” More than anything the manage- men of the election appreciates the expressions of the various candidates in the race, winners and losers, about the fairness and squareness of the entire election. It has been the con- stant aim of the management to con- duct the entire election on an abso- lutely unquestionable plan, to make it fair and square in every: detail to every one, And it is gratifying to the management to know that these efforts have been appreciated from the complimentary remarks and the expressions of everyone who visited the Tribune office election headquar- ters. All candidates who have made a cash report each week of the cam- paign will receive a commission. geht Se ia "BAVU? 15 SCREEN HIT WITH DYNAMIC MYSTERY ‘What can love do against the over: whelming power of mystery?

The Americans told a graphic tale of their experiences. The bandits, they sald, started firing upon the train before it was derailed, and swarmed about it, smashing the win- dows with their hatchets, when it was brought to a standstill. They then entered the cars and robbed the- passengers of valuables, visiting some of the coaches three times to be sure of missing nothing. One foreigners was killed but his identity was not known to the party |arriving here. It was nearly two hours after the train had been stopped that a warn- ing whistle was blown and the bandits decamped with their captives. A few of the foreigners escaped by hiding in the long grass but more than twenty were carried off, including six women. Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Pinger were left behind when it was found they were unable to keep up with the fast pace set by the bandits. Major Pinger and his wife kept in tcuch for a time by shouting to each other but, the voice of the major, who was ahead, grew fainter and finally ceased and his wife returned to the train with her younger son. It is estimated that about 115 pas- sengers were kidnaped, most of them in their night attire and without their baggage. They were forced to walk barefoot over the broken glass in the vicinity of the train and were hustled by their brutal guards over the rough country as the bandits fled in fear of pursuit. Soldiers arrived at the scene soon after the departure of the raiding party and the government ordered the tuchuns (military governors) of the neighboring provinces immediate- ly to take up the pursuit. A complete list of the kidnaped foreigners 1s not available here, but an American broker named Henley, an Italian lawyer Musso, and a num- ber of English women are believed to be among them. U. 8. PUBLISHER AMONG CAPTIVES. SAN DIEGO, Calif, May 7.—In private telegrams received here from Washington today, it was reported from China that Robert Scripps, the newspaper publisher, formerly of this city but now a resident of Washing- ton, had been captured by the Chinese bandits who seized the Shanghal- Peking express train on the Shantung border yesterday. It was said, how- ever, that the other members of the party aboard Mr. Scripps’ yacht were not on the train, He had left for the interior alone, according to the ‘DEATH THREATS MADE AGAINST MEN SEIZED IN ATTACK ON TRAIN Were his wife, his father, E. W. Scripps, and others whose names are not known here. The Scripps yacht, The Ohio, left here March 10 for the Orient. The yacht is believed to have remained at Shanghai while Robert Scripps went to Peking. BRITISHER KILLED, PEKING REPORTS. PEKNG, May 7.—(By The Asso- ciated Press.}—Reports trickling in here slowly today from the Shantung border at Lincheng where early yes- terday 1,000 bandits seized the Shang- hai-Peking - express train on the Tsinianfu-Fukow railway and took captive 150 of its passengers, indicate that one foreigner, a British subject named Rothman, was killed and that a number of Americans, probably all men, stil) stood in peril, at the mercy of the brigands, this afternoon. Troops were believed to be pur- suing the bandit army. Among the Americans reported held were Robert Scripps, the news: paper publisher; Major Pinger and two other officers of the American army, named Foland and Allen, all three in the Philippine service, four others whose names were given as Henly, Lee, Solomon and Levy. The passengers included 39 for- eigners, and ten of them escaped or were released. The outlaw horde, having derailed the forward part of the train by means of a broken track, fired a volley toward the coaches. Major Pinger’s two sons also were taken prisoner, but Mrs. Pinger escaped, The captives included J. L. Powell, editor of the Weekly Review at Shanghai, MISS ALDRICH ON TRIP AROUND WORLD. NEW YORK, May 7.—(By The As- sociated Press.}—The lure of travel took Miss Lucy Aldrich, sister of Mrs. John BD. Reckefeller, Jr., to China, where she was captured by bandits. She was circumnavigating the globe for the second time. Her brother, Winthrop Aldrich, a member of the Rockefeller’s firm of attorneys, said today he was glad to get the news of her release, as the Standard Oil company wire facilities had left him in ignorance, probably because its offices in China were close don Sundays. She loves to travel and was making the trip for the fun of it,” he said. Miss Aldrich took with her as com- panion Miss Minnie McFadden, of Providence, R. I., and a maid. Both have been released. Miss Aldrich, daughter of the late Senator Nelcon W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, noted tariff maker, is wealthy in her own right. TOLEDO, Ohio, May 7-——Mrs. Neg- ley D. Cochran, wife of the former editor of the Toledo News Bee re ceived word from headquarters of the Seriips-Howard newspaper syndicate today that Mr. Cochran and daughter Dorothy are among those held cap- tive by Chinese in Shantung, China. The communication said at all |members of the party of EB. W. Scripps, who set out early in March for a tour of the Orient on the Scripps-Howard newspaper syndicat held by the Chinese soldiers who cap- tured the Americans with the purpose of holding them until the Chinese government pays them back wages due them. ‘The last word Mrs. Cochran ro- cetved until advised today of the cap- ture of members of the family was received a week ago and said that the party had left Japan and arrived in Shanghai. First reports from the Scripps- Howard syndicate today said that Robert Scripps, son of E. W. Scripps, was the only one held captive. QUINCY, Ill, May 7—John B. Powell, the newspaper publisher of Shanghai, China, announced among those captured by Chinese bandits on the Shantung border, is a former resi- dent of Quincy, and began his news- paper career here as a reporter for the Quincy Whig some 20 years ago.
