RIVALS SHOT AT MAH-JONG PARTY
CHINESE TREACHERY. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. SHANGHAI, Jan. 13. Details of the Mukden assassinations indicating their treacherous nature, have been received, but they are somewhat contradictory. It seems that the slain generals were invited to a mahjong party by Ohang Hsueh Liang. The latter excused himself, and a party of soldiers shortly entered and fired volleys at the guests. Yang Yu Ting received ten bullets in the head. Chang Yin Huai attempted to reply with, a revolver, but was likewise perforated. It is believed that the real cause of the young Dictators murderous conduct was jelousy because of Yang Yu Ting’s growing power. Reports of an alleged anti-Governmc.nt conspiracy were merely camouflage.
