‘\FRIDTHELD GIRL IN HOUNTAIN FORT EHis Child Tells of Her Sulforings While Captive 8imla, British Indla, April 27, — (By Assgoclated Press)—The story of the sufferings of Molly Ellis, youthful daughter of the British commander at Kohat, while in the hands of Afridi tribesmen after she had seen them kil her mother in the early morning of April 14, is told in despatches from Peshawar, where she is resting under the care of her father and Mrs, Etarr, the woman physiclan who played a large part in her rescue, After thelr murderous raid, the kidnappers fled to the hills above Kohat, half driving, half carrying their captive up the steep rocky paths. Throughout the following day she could see the searchers passing in au- tomnobiles below her. Her only pro- tection (rol: the severe cold of the hills was a coat helonging to a brutal Afridi, named Shahazada, the man who killed heér mother. The next four days were a night. mare of alternating traveling and hid- ing, with the girl in an ever growing state of exhaustion from her physical efforts and the apparently hopeless outlook. Her feet were lacerated from tramping over the stony tracks and once in the course of the terrible journey she fell fainting at the top of a snow covered mountain pass, upon which Bhahazada lost patience and drew his dagger to kill her, be- ing restrained only by his companions. After six days of traveling they reached her captors’ home in the Tirah country. Meanwhile a search by friandly tribesmen was in progress under the direction of Kuli Kahn, a native officlal, who on April 20, rcached Kanki Bazaar, the home of a famous and influential Mullah, or Mohammedan religious leader, named .Mahmud Akhundzeda, where after “ much pressure, he ascertained that the captive was held in a mountain fortress ecight miles away. Kull Kahn “managed to have conveyed to the girl ‘a parcel of comforts and a letter of . encouragement, and in return learned that she was being reasonably treat- ed by the women of the tribesmen, Mrs. Starr at this time was near Kanki Bazaar under a native escort. having arrived after adventures Which seemed to threaten her mis- n with failure, and the Mullah, arently fearing trouble, sent a r to her party ordering them to n back. This letter was ignored, and the party reached Kanki. Shortly afterward Kull Khan in- duccd the Mulah to bring about the transfer of the captive girl to the Mullah's house, where she was event- ually taken, being carrled over the shoulder of one of the tribesmen. The meeting between the girl and Mrs. Starr was a joyous one, hut the dan- ger was not ended, for while they talked the abductors stood around menacingly, insisting that Molly was still their captive, Presently the captors learned that a purty of Afridi friendly to the I'Grll-’ izh had arvrived at their village and were attacking it whereupon Shaha- zada seized Mrs, Starr and hustled her from the room threatening both | her and Miss Ellis. The Mulluh be-; came enraged at this insult to the sa- cred rights of hospitality under hisj roof and publicly cursed Shahazada and hi Tows. In this dramatic fashion the bal- ance tilted to the side of the rescuers and the surrender of the captive was gpeedily arranged, The tribesmen's demands for a ransom and pardon were andoned and on Tuesday of this week Kuli Khan and the other rescucrs started with the girl on the journey to Peshawar, where there wasg a joyous reynion between Molly and her father, - 15 Men Hold Up Guards, Steal Whiskey Shipment Louisville, April 27.—Fifteen men held up guards at the W.

Woods for smoking cigarettes at a “frat” dance in Wash- ington. Inquiry into charges of drinking by certain members of the faculty may be made, it is under- stood. Dr. Woods, however, denied charges of members of the faculty drinking. The two suspended girls are said to have engaged an attorney in Rock- ville, Md., to institute mandamus pro- ceedings for reinstatement. “If this is correct,” sald Dr. Woods, “the two girls will not be reinstated as long as T am at the head of the university, While T am here I intend to run it and not permiit it to be run by lawyers and outside influences.” According to Dr. Woods several meetings have been held by the stu- dent body of the university since the girls were suspended in regard to re- vising the rules, which prohibit the co-eds from smoking in the university, on the campus or at any function un- der the supervision of the university. I'ifteen of the 125 students have given their moral support to the girls sus- pended and the balance are backing the action of the university, said Dr. Wood. .

Winter, president of the General FFederation of Wom- en's clubs, believed in giving the gov- ernment a chance to do what it could to remedy the situation. Mrs. Brown who named the slogan also urges a rigid “no candy" diet. Kills Himself on Wife’s Grave, Says Bank Is O.
