Peking Students in Arms

Minister of Education Disliked

Peking, Jan. 18.

A group of students of the Law Academy yesterday demonstrated outside the House. Interviewed by the Chairman's secretary, the students explained that they desired to protest against the election of Mr. Peng Yun-yi as Minister of Education because he had recommended Mr. Liu Yen as Dean of the Law College. The secretary arranged that the students should send in a written statement of their views.

Mr. Tsai Yuan-pei has resigned on the grounds that he_ finds it impossible to work under Mr. Peng Yun-yi, owing to the latter's interference in judicial affairs.—Reuter.
