They were com mitted to Jail technically as ship wrecked crew of a foreign craft, to be held for the immlgrantlon authori ties. Federal authorities gave orders at the Jail that they were to be allow ed no communication with the out side, even with newspapers men. Coast guard officers believe the ship that rammed the sloop was an other rum runner, pulling alongside for the purpose of taking over the sloop's cargo. Seen In silhouette in the glare of the cutter's powerful searchlights, the steamer was said by coast guard officers to bear a striking resemblance to the Istar, flagship of the rum fleet, which dis appeared from off the coast May 25.

CHINESE THROWN TO DEATH FROM MOUNTAIN CLIFF ON AC COUNT OF 6HORTAGE OF ' . FOOD. Prisoners' Feet Were Bound Together Before Being Hurled to , Death. Shanghai. Shortage of food in the bandits' stronghold at Paotzuku be fore the kidnapping of a number of foreigners from the Shanghai-Peking express May 6, caused the brigands to throw 80 Chinese prisoners to death from one of the mountain cliffs, ac cording to Information received from Father William i Lenfers, German priest who has made several trips to the outlaw headquarters. The information from Father Len fers, which came in a letter from the prelate at Llncheng, declared that the prisoners feet were bound and each was labelled with his name and Iden tification before being hurled to death. One of the prisoners, a woman, was thrown over with her child in her arms.

"One Christian Chinese who al ready had paid $1,800 for the re lease of his son, took delivery of the corpse." Father Lenfers wrote, add ing: "Many pallbearers still are climbing the mountain. "The only way to maintain peace here Is to enlist the bandits and keep them In this territory for years as a police force, since they alen are 'familiar with the Inaccessible mountain fastnesses and trails. If they are withdrawn, lesser bandits will band together and cause a simi lar situation In the future." Father Lenfers denies tha,t troops were in league with the outlaws.
