SOVIET RAILWAYS ARE IN BAD SHAPE Stalin Appeals for Co-opera- tion to Communist Party and Trade Unions. By the Assoctated Press. MOSCOW, January 29.—Seriousness of the Soviet Union's railway problem was emphasized today with an appeal of Joseph Stalin 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. Stalin’s 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 Vyachaslafl Molotoff, new president of the Council of Commissars, calls upon the Council of Labor and Defense to undertake the rallway reorganization. d The appeal calls for raising of the wages of railway men, better food and clothing and other necessities for them, and for the construction during the present fiscal year of 1,028 locomotives, : against 612 in 1929, and 60,000 freight cars, against 17,000 in 1929. 1t'is suggested that in the reorgani- 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.

ALLAHABAD, India, January 29.— Members of the Working Committee of the All-India National Congress, spon- sci's 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 wifh reservations to the British crown of authority in for- eign relations, finances and defense. Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Na- tionalist forces, who came here yester- day from Bombay, played a 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. WANT CONTROL OF ARMY. Members of Congress Hold Ministers ShoulMd Have Charge. MADRAS, January 29 (#).—Two of National Congress Working Committec released from jail Monday, Rajagoval Acharlar 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 transterred 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, 5o 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 a particular debt as one raised to meet the national needs such a debt should be repudiated. Radical members, including Gandhi himself, argue that the legislature must have absolute control of recruiting em- 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 ld a full meeting until Sunday. These informal conver- sations, however, seem to make it in- | creasingly clear that real peace in India is still a remote prospect. REPRESENTATIVE SUES FOR ABSOLUTE DIVORCE Thompson of Fifth Ohio Claims Second Wife Menaced Health by Constant Nagging. DEFIANCE, Ohio, January 29.—Rep- resentative Charles J. Thompson, 68, of the fifth Ohio district, yesterday filed suit for absolute divorce frogn his sec- ond wife, Katherine A. Howe Thomp- son, who has asked a limited divorce in the District of Columbia. The veteran legislator charged that by constant nagging and scolding his wife has serfously menaced his health, “which she knew to be impaired at the | time of marriage.” She also has sought to have him disinherit children by his first marriage and bequeath all his { Property to her, his petition adds. He recently advertised in a Washing- ton newspaper that he would be re- sponsible only for debts incurred by himself, Thompson averred, because “she threatened to ruin me financially by running up bills.” Papers in his wife's action for lim- resentative Thompson said.

Several valuable coins were stolen from the apartment of Altize Manney, 1740 M street, by a jimmy thief yester- day, according to a r:port made to police of the third precinct. Manney told officers he could place no valuation on the coins, which were highly-prized pieces in his ccllection. The loot included two Maximilian gold | coins dated 1860, several South Ameri- can gold coins over a century old, and two old American pznnie: Do this at the first sign of a cold.

Mistol CHINESE BANDITS BEAT2U.S. PRIESTS Released After Eight Months, They Bare Death Threats and Hardships. By the Associated Press. HANKOW, China, January 29.—Two American missionaries who recently were released by a group of Chinese bandits told a harrowing tale of mis- treatment and threats of death upon arriving here. “The priests, Father James Lineham and Father P. Laffan of the St. Colum- bian Mission at Hanyang, Hupeh Prov- { | ince, were in captivity eight months. They were set free after prolonged negotiations between the Nanking gov- ernment 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 $100,000 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 a few hours later. Most of the time was spent in the small mountain village of Lakow, where they were given two “trials.” 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. D. C, THURSDAY POLICE TAKE FOUR INLAUREL HOLD-UP Two Women Arrested in Jew- elry Robbery—O0One Bandit Kills Self. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. LAUREL, Md, January 329.—Two of Maryland authorities and a third man is dead of self-inflicted bullet wounds as the culmination of a daring daylight hold-up of the Laurel Jewelry Co. here shortly before noon vesterday All persons involved in the crime are now believed arrcsted following the capture of the third man in a Balti- more lunch room late last night. The loot, consisting of watches and rings, valued at approximately $1,500, was recovered shortly after the robbery. L. R. Taylor, 30, of Topeka, Kans, and formerly of Howard County, Md., is the dead bandit. He committed suicide by firing one shot into his breast over the heart and another in the right temple when cornered by State Police- man G. E. Bopst on the banks of the Patux=nt River a few minutes after the hold-up. Taylor's father is said to be well known in Topeka, where he is said to conduct a nursery. Held By Authorities, Those held by Maryland authorities are Thomas A. Phillips, 30, of Indian- apolis, Ind.; Paul M. Taylor of Wash- ington; Alpie Olsen, reputed woman friend of Phillips, and Mrs. L. R. Tay- lor, wife of the robber who committed suicide. Phillips and Taylor are charged with the hold-up and the two women with investigation in connec- tion with other allegedly stolen goods which were found when they were taken into custody. Failure of the robbery was laid to Paul Taylor, no relation of the slain robber, who has admitted, according to police, that he drove the small bakery truck which fled the scene. Taylor, who police believe has no criminal record, apparently became alarmed while his two confederates were in the store mak- ing the hold-up and fled in the truck, leaving the other two bandits in the lerch. Paul” Taylor's wife is said to conduct a bakery on Connecticut ave- nue near Legation street northwest in W;.shllngmn. aul Taylor was captured by Corpl. John W. Kreiss of the Laurelysubstn:- tion of Maryland State Police in a Bal- timore lunch room late last night scarcely five minutes after the man is said to have telephoned his wife in Washington asking her to meet him with money and clothing. Washington police had intercepted the call and notified Maryland authorities. Corpl. Kreiss was accompanied by Policemen A. W. Plummer and G. E. Bopst when the arrest was made. Captured by Deputy Sheriff. Thomas A. Phillips, 30, who was cap- tured by Deputy Sheriff Thomas H. Garrison of Prince Georges County about three hours after the hold-up, is believed to be the last man alive of the notorious Whittemore and Reid gangs of highwaymen. Phillips was captured at an inn on the Baltimore Boulevard in Howard County when he returned to the two women, who were also arrested. L. E. Dutrow of county police was with Garrison when the ar- rest was made. The two women were turned over to the sheriff of Howard County by Gar- rison, along with other loot, said to have been in their possession, and are now in jail at Ellicott City, Md. Phillips and Taylor are in jail at Upper Mari- boro, Md. - The body of L. R. Taylor, the bandit, who committed suicide, is at Laurel, where an inquest is scheduled for tonight, W. L. Armstrong, who operates a store next to that of the Laurel Jewelry Co., noticed that something was wrong shortly after the two men entered the store yesterday before noon and tele- phoned the Laurel substation of Mary- land police. Confederate Flees. Sol Lazerovitz, proprietor of the jewelry store, told police that L. R. Taylor and Phillips entered the store From the Front Row Reviews and News of Wasl’x;ngton‘s Theaters. Ruth Draper Winning Success at Belasco. ROM the main floor of the Shubert-Belasco last evening it was possible to observe in all three balconies of the au- ditorium rows upon rows of eager and delighted auditors as Ruth Draper repeatgd in Washing- ton the success she achieved in New York, with a stage presentation which places emphasis on clever dramatic pieces interpreted by one of the most talented figures on the stage. Her change of program also attracted equally large numbers to the orchestra seats, clearly demon- strating that the worthwhile in stage entertainment has not lost its universal appeal. Miss Draper announced in the course of the evening that, because of a large number of letters received from the public, she was responding to the desire that two features of the opening performance should be repeated, and she gave once more the intensely amusing sketch, “Opening a Bazaar,” which reveals her comic talent at its best, and she also gave the group of character ketches under the general titl “Three Women and Mr. Clifford. Miss Draper's form of entertain- ment takes added importance through the fact that she is an author as well as an actor, and that she has, through her own pen, con- tributed to the repertoire that she presents. New selections were “The Italian Lesson,” the lively story of a wor:: of busy social and domestic_exist- ence; a dialect piece, “In County Kerry,” reflecting her own contact with a vigorous feminine type of distinctive mental qualities, and “In a Railroad Station on the Western Plains,” involving the ever-popular experiences of the rail workers in a wreck and revealing Miss Draper's emotional powers in an impressive way. Other changes of program will be made during the week. D.C.C. LUMBAGO ?

ESTERDAY'S musicale at the Mayflower, Mrs. Lawrence ‘Townsend's fifty-first, was notable, probably, for the largest and most distin: guished of these morning audiences —with Mrs. Hoover and two other “first ladies,” Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Taft, among the listeners — as | well as twoart- ists, one of whom is way up among the great and the other getting there. It was Metro- politan Opera day all right at the Mayflower, Beniamino Gigli, tenor, and Aida Doninelli, sopra- no, having come over from the Thirty - ninth Street Opera House for the concert. Mr. Gigli, whose slightest vocal gesture is anticipated by a deathlike calm in his audience, no matter in what place or clime, yesterday treated thosz present to some more of his miraculous song renderings. He seemed, however, not in such good voice as at his previous recital here a few weeks ago, as thoug perhaps a cold was pinching his throat, or an early-morning tightness had not Beniamine Gisll. Reviews and News of Capital's Programs. as yet quite limbered him up to his finest abilities. However, his version of Rachmani- noff’s “In 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 “Aida” duet was further proof of his extraordinary artistry, since he kept well within the scope and range of his partner’s voice. Although one must admit that little has as yet:been heard from Miss Doninelli as far as the Metro- politan is concerned, it seems as 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 this Sunday night on the air in the Atwater Kent hour. Miss Doni- nelli's voice is not as strong as it might be, nor as sure, but it has a lightness and a grace to it and an ability to grade from the greater to the lesser moments that make it ex- tremely pleasant to hear. She, furthermore, exhibited no signs of nervousness at being partnered with 50 very great a name as Gigli’s, and saug the duet probably as nicely as it ever has been sung with him. Mrs. Townsend has announced that for her final musicale of the season, next Wednesday, Rosa Pon- selle, soprano, and Beatrice Harri- son, cellist, will be the artists. E. de 8. M. and asked to look at a watch. When 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 fled. Their confederate in a truck outside the store had be- come frightened and had driven off. The other two bandits took to the swamps back of Laurel. A posse, headed by State Policemen A. W. Plummer and G. E. Bopst, was quickly formed, and Bapst came upon L. R. Taylor just as he was about to slide down the banks of the Patuxent River. On the approach of the officer ‘Taylor drew a revolver and put it to 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. The black bag containing the rings 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 afterncon.
