CAGE TEN. of AQ) BUCCANEERS JAIL SHIP FOR 24 HOURS AFTER SEIZURE AT SER Foreigners Included in Scores Terrorized by Bandits in Looting of The Steamer Taishun. HONGKONG, May 14.— (By The Associated Press.) European passengers were among ‘those terrorized and robbed when the Chinese steamer Taishun was seized near Swatow Saturday bh pirates, who, disguised as passengers, powered the crew, eailed the ship for nearly 24 hours, at night without lights, and finally left her yesterday at the mouth of a smal! creek, trans ferring to a junk loot valued at $60,000. The Taishun, which was bound from Hongkong for Shangha!, re. turned to Hongkong yesterday after- noon. The chief officer, wounded in the forearm by a pirate, was taken to a hospital. Most of the sengers had lost all thelr money and personal effects. ‘The vessel's cargo, a valu able one, was not disturbed. The steamer, which registers 2,000 tons, left Hongkong with more than 109 passengers. The pirate passen- gers numbered about 40. When a point near Swatow was reached, the buccaneers, having spread out into empl parties, as prearranged, worked suddenly and systematically. Soon they had the ship at their mercy. They rushed the armory, obtaining all the equipment there. The crew Was taken by surprise. The caiptain and the officers and the European passengers were locked up together in the captain's cabin where they Were compelled to remain until the pirates left the ship. A large number wengers, panic into the hold, over. of ‘Chinese pas. stricken, were herded after they had been searched and their valuables stolen The pirates had no ifficulty in handling the ship. Steaming all night in complete darkness, they reached the small creek that was their rendezv about 100 miles from Watow, yesterday morning. A junk slipped alongside; the loot was lowered into it; the pirates vanished LAUGHTER REIGNS WHEN | COLUMBIA OPENS BILL With but one exception yesterdny the popular Columbia was packed to overflowing and many were turned| away .at the regular evening perfor- mances.

LONDON, May 14.—(By The Asso- ciated Press)—What purports to be a summary of the Russian note to Great Britain is printed under @ Moscow date line today by the Daily Herald, the labor newspaper. The article says that the Soviet govern- ment’s reply praposes a conference of plenipotentiaries to discuss not only Lord Curzon’s recent communication, but the whole problem of Anglo Russian relations with a view to establishing a general understanding. ‘The main theme of the note, says the article, is that the Russians have equal grounds of complaint. Russia has always wished, and Great Britain has always declined, to discuss the relations between the two countries. The note contends, says the Herald, that many of Lord Curzon's charges are based on documents supplied by secret service agents, which are al ways of doubtful authenticity Russia has many such which she could cite against Great Britain, Dealing separately with the British charges, the Moscow government says they are either fabrication or falulfications. It deciares its willing: | ness to ablde by the decision of the proposed conference with regard to |the three mile lmit. The article asserts, and adds that as an evidence of good will Russia has released all British trawlers. ‘The note {s sald to admit that the replies to the protest against the Butchkavitch execution was unusyal TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR SALE—Rocking chatr, dining: room chairs, dressing table and chair, chiffonier and dresser; Ibrary |table, three rugs, two beds, single and double, refrigerator; two-burner oll stove and oven; ol! heater, 925 8.
