14 Members Kidnapped

OUTRAGE ON KIANGSU ASSEMBLY — MUCH PUBLIC INDIGNATION

Much space has been utilized in the Chinese press in connexion with the recent raid on the Kiangsu Provincial Assembly at Nanking from which 14 members were carried off.

The Peking Government has or dered Mr. Chi Yao-ling, the Civil Governor of Kiangsu, to make a thorough investigation and to punish the culprits severely.

A movement is afoot here in Shanghai to move the Assembly we Shanghai, Pootung, or Soochow, whether with any prospect of success is uncertain. The Pootung Club has wired to the members of the Assembly stating that if they come to Shanghai, the government of the province will be administered just the same and the members will not be subjected to any insults or ill-treatment such as they have just gone through. The Kiangsu Education Association suggests removal to Soochow.
