JAPANESE CRIMES
MURDERS AND ROBBERIES. .Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received December 10, 10.30 a.m.) KOBE, December 8. The November ceremonies came to a climax with the police extremely nervous. Searches and arrests are prevailing and lese majeste charges numerous. It is now repotred that in November there were fifty murders in Tokio and suburbs, besides eight by burglars. There were hundreds of armed burglaries, many woundings and other crimes, proportionately, while arrests were few. Political crime, however, still monopolises the attention of the authorities. There was serious trouble at the Lokkaido Imperial University, where a thousand students rioted, destroying property, beating officials and professors, following the President’s reports to the Minister of Education, who reported to the Cabinet that, although ostensibly a protest against the dismissal of one of the students, the riots were really deep-rooted radicalism among the students.
