Delhi, October 16.
There were amazing scenes in Bombay yesterday. Five thousand armed police made a dramatic early morning raid on Congress organisations throughout the city, under the new ordinance against unlawful associations. Forty buildings were raided where seditious activities occurred. Seventy were arrested at Congress Headquarters, including tw’enty-five boys. The Congress flag flying over the buildings was hauled down and the Union Jack hoisted instead.
Up to a late hour last night two hundred had been arrested and tried at Byculla gaol and sentenced to terms varying from two to three months, but the leaders were sentenced to six months. Crowds which watched the raids were dispersed by police charges. THE NEW VICEROY The Marquess of Lothian, named as successor to Lord Irwin as Viceroy of India, is better known as the 'Hon. Philip Kerr, who succeeded to the title on the death of the tenth Marquess in March last. The present Marquess was editor of “The Round Table” from 1910 to 1916, and secretary to Mr. Lloyd George from 1916 to 1921.
