WAS HELD BY BANDITS h FOR FIFTY-TWO DAYS George A. Kyle, American Engi¬ neer, Relates Experience Among Chinese Highwaymen. Cotrespondenc? of the Associated Press. PEKING, May 20..Although captive of Chinese bandits for fifty-two days, George A. Kyle of Portland, Ore., chief engineer of an American con- struction company, returned to Peking in good health and spirits. "The ban- aits treated me as well as might have been exnected," he said. He was. taken prisoner on March 25. His release was brought about through efforts of the American lega- tion. represented on the spot by Dr. Charles D. Tenney, assisted by F. C. Hitchcock, Mr. Kyle's immediate chief. Both of the last named were for weeks in Honan province working with the governor of the province and the military authorities of the province in Kyle's behalf. Catholic Mission Intermediary. No little credit is due also to the activity of the Catholic mission, rep¬ resentatives of which acted as inter- mediaries between the authorities and the bandits. It is said to have been largely through assurances given by priests of that mission that the brigands were brought to accept a guarantee offered by Gen. Chang Shen and to surrender their captive. "The bandits evidently regarded me as their best asset if it came to mak¬ ing terms with the authorities," said Mr. Kyle to a representative of the Associated Press. "They shared everything with me. even their beds. The ravages of the vermin was the most trying of my experiences and next to that was the never ending night marches across country. Always when we stopped in villages they tried to keep my presence a secret, and often they kept me awake so that I mierht not snore and 'give things away/ , L Get "Rough," Now and Then. "Only a few of the younger members of the bandits* gang got rough now and then. They used to draw their fingers across their throats and pre¬ sumably tell me in Chinese that that was what was coming to me, though I, of course, did not understand what they said. "During the retreat of the bandits one of them kept hold of my hand. I had one chance the first night to escape, but neglected it. While the soldiers were still firing on us the bandits and I made a run for it. There was a washout in a ravine. The ban¬ dits all got there ahead of me. leav¬ ing me on the top of this ravine. The bullets were singing all ai^&und me. but if I had stayed behind then I probably would have escaped. I hesi¬ tated and they discovered my absence and the opportunity was gone. The same night I did try to escape, but they caught me before I could get .way." ALEXANDRIA. Va., July 6..Wil¬ liam Adams, colored, thirty-seven years old, whose home is in Rich¬ mond, Va., this morning shot and killed William Coleman, colored. The shooting took place in a mess hall at Camp Humphreys, where both were employed. Adams was subse¬ quently arrested In this city by Chief Goods and Policemen Power and Massie. Adams says he fired when, while seated at the breakfast table, a col- ored man threw a molasses jug at him. Reports from camp are to the effect that Adams shot at another man and the shot killed Coleman. Coleman was about twenty-one years old and lived in Fredericks¬ burg. The body was brought here and taken to Demaine's mortuary chapel. Adams will be taken to Fair¬ fax county for trial.

Get "Rough," Now and Then."Only a few of the younger members

of the bandits* gang got rough now

and then. They used to draw theirfingers across their throats and pre¬sumably tell me in Chinese that thatwas what was coming to me, thoughI, of course, did not understand whatthey said."During the retreat of the bandits

one of them kept hold of my hand.I had one chance the first night toescape, but neglected it. While thesoldiers were still firing on us thebandits and I made a run for it.
