TRIALS IN PEKIN.
JAPANESE OFFICIALS NOT SATISFIED. BRITISH REPRESENTATION IN TOKIO. (Received Tuesday, 7.50 p.m.) LONDON, July 7. "The Times” Tokio correspondent says Sir Robert Clive has made strong representations to the Foreign Office regarding the attitude of Japanese officials in Pekin during the investigation of charges against Privates Hunt and Cooke. He also explained the British judicial procedure, with which Mr. Horihouchi, Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, was unfamiliar. The Foreign Office spokesman says Japanese officials in Pekin consider the investigation unsatisfactory owing to the prosecutor asking leading questions tending to exculpate the accused. They also state that some of the evidence was disregarded.
