Peking, Mar. 8.
The murderer of the messenger of the Bank of China committed suicide yesterday, on the eve of his arrest by a detective, after shooting a gendarme.—Reuter. latter delegates were paid and they were granted allowances of $40 a month from the Bolshevist propaganda funds for their mainten. ance while in Shanghai. To keep up the enthusiasm of all hands and to attract to the conference the followers of the more reputable Korean patriots who have hitherto eschewed communism, the promise of huge "campaign funds'? was dangled before the delegates. The, whole affair now seems to have been such a dismal failure from the Red point of view that tha petty allowance of $40 a head per month was recently stopped without warning. This means that scores of unfortunate "delegates" from remote parts of Siberia are stranded in Shanghai as guests of the community.
