AMERICANS' PLUCK SAVED THEIR LIVES (By Edna Lee Booker) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) SHANGHAI, May 31.—The bravery of the Americans and other foreigners held captive by the Paot-Zukin bandits saved their lives and brought about the release of two of their number. This was revealed by W. Smith, British subject, who arrived at Lincheng on his way to Peking today. Tuesday morning the bandit chieftain announced to the prisoners that they must die because of the failure of the Chinese troops to withdraw. The Chinese captives fell upon their knees and begged for their lives while the foreigners laughed and started to sing popular camp ditties. The bandits were seized with consternation at this display of unconcern. They could not understand how men could place such a low value upon their lives. Hasty conferences were held and decision reached not to put the foreigners to death and instead Smith and Major Robert Allen, U. S. A., were unconditionally released late Wednesday. "Of course I am glad to be released," said Smith after a hearty meal and a few hours sleep at the relief station at Tsao Chwang. "but I was sorry to leave the other captives. They all exhibited the finest and truest spirit I have ever met with in all my experiences. "Our imprisonment the first few days was terrible but after that the hardships were greatly relieved through the great work of the American Red Cross expedition for which the captives are unable to find words to express their gratitude." Major Allen, as quickly as transportation was available, left for Tien Tsin for a reunion with his wife and son who were among the original captives but who were later released.

Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, May 31.—The Pennsylvania Railroad's open defiance of the railroad labor board and the fact that the board apparently has accepted this defiance in meekness and humility, was regarded in Washington today as constituting the board's death warrant. Altho the Pennsylvania's recent disregard of the board's orders is now more than a week old, the board has taken no steps to brand officials of the Pennsylvania system as "outlaws" as was done to shopmen last summer, nor has there been any appeal for public support of the board in punishing Samuel Rea or his road. The conviction that the Railroad Labor Board has been an unsuccessful experiment is held not only by labor leaders and railroad officials but also by high administration officials. CONSIDER ARREST IN DOUBLE MURDER NEW BRUNSWICK N. J., May 31. The double murder of Rev. Dr. Ed Hall, protestant Episcopal clergyman and Mrs. James Mills, took a new grip on public interest today when it was learned that the authorities are considering an arrest. The suspect is a man who was questioned at length in the early part of the investigation, but was eliminated after setting up an alibi. County detectives refused to reveal his identity. The bodies of Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills were found on a lonely farm near New Brunswick on September 17 last. Both had been shot and the throats cut. Love letters written by the clergyman to Mrs. Mills were scattered nearby. ROB MESSENGER (By International News Service) CHICAGO, May 31.—Three automobile bands today kidnapped Chas.

Staff Correspondent) (Copyright, 1923, by I. N. S.) WASHINGTON, May 31. —America is safe from aerial invasion. While the nation has watched in amazement the spectacular and phenomenal post-war development of aviation, other branches of the army and navy have not remained idle. Working quietly, but efficiently, the coast artillery, the ordinance department, the chemical warfare service, and corresponding branches of the navy have evolved a system of defense against the very development which will render American seacoasts and cities impregnable to attack by air. Anti-warcraft development has kept pace, step by step, with the rise of aviation since the war and there is no great improvement in the airplane as an offensive weapon that has not been matched and offset by defensive strategy. Outstanding among the latest additions to anti-aircraft defense and hitherto undisclosed, are: Anti-aircraft gun firing a shell 4.7 inches in diameter with a velocity more than two times greater than the French 75 mm used during the war. A 37 mm. (1.1-2 inch) machine gun now in the course of completion. A .50 calibre machine gun, the outgrowth of the .30 calibre gun used during the war. A tracer bullet visible to the naked eye to a height of 7000 feet. A sounder capable of warning against on-coming airplanes, giving their direction and location with most exacting accuracy. A plan of safeguarding important points, such as canal locks, arsenals etc., against bombing by the use of huge nets carried into position by balloons which is now in the course of completion. A gas defensive to be used should any other nation be "so barbaric" as to resort to that forbidden weapon of war. All the foregoing developments either have been fully and successfully tested or have been developed to a point where success appears to be assured. YORBA LINDA, May 31. —(Sp.) —Mr. and Mrs. C. R.

To-day, the man who builds a- comparatively obscure trade, is now a tremendous business, composed of men of the highest caliber. Therein lies the inspiration which created the Sanitary Development League. To-day, the man who builds a home selects his own plumbing. In doing so, he uses his individual taste and at the same time saves a substantial sum, which would otherwise go to a builder or contractor. He adds this saving to the purchase price and buys better plumbing. Be sure your plumber is a member of the Sanitary Development League of Southern California.
