[United Press.)
Peping-Peping police officials! are alarmed by the appearance here of a number of kidnapping gangs, who are believed to have come from! the vicinity of Shanghai.
Shanghai has been troubled by daring kidnappers for some years, but the foreign and Chinese police thers have pursued them so vigor ously in recent weeks that it is feared some of the gangs have trans- ferred their attentions to the north.
Dan O'Brien, hobo philosopher and veteran of world trails, has announced his candidacy dor the office of Mayor of New York City. Like the other candidates, he ai

At the stile, peering through our glasses in a straight line for the third post in the op- posité fance across the plough, we look to see if Widow Plover, is on her mest.

Dan's True Alm,
All of which more completely ex pressed Dan O'Brien's aim than did the 3 planks in his platform.
That is the reason that after a life- time of wandering he is willing to sacrifice the freedom of the road, the jungles and singing rails where ho bears a title "King," to confine his efforts to a single city; he would exchange the signa ture Dan O'Brien, Rex" that appears on his poems, for the simple cognomen of Mayor Dan O'Brien.
His cause would entail a sacri- fice, he said, but a pleasant one, in spite of the fact that he would! have to forsake the life that in-. spired his lines:-
I am the symbol of the soul of

A Daring Outrage.
The most daring of recent kid- nappings here was that of Mr. Yang Berlin. A political gentlemen in a Cheag, former Chinese Minister in
motor-car, called at Mr. Yong's residence one evening, presented the card of general Ma Chung Ying, Generál a desired to see Mr. Yang an army, corps commander, and said
at his hotel.
Mr. Yang, suspreting nothing, entered the motor-ear, and disap peared. Shortly afterwards, his family received letter, stating that he was held for ransom, and would be released for $250.000 gold.

Several bandit leaders in the vicinity of Peping have kidnapped the children of wealthy residents of nearby towns recently, and have asked and obtained ransom. Smaller! towns have been afflicted by such gangs in the past, but their pre- sence in Peping itself is sufficiently. unusual to attract much attention.
