CHINESE RIOTING
(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph .-^Copyright.) (Received this day at 8 a.m.) SHANGHAI, May 30. Despite a mandate from Nanking ordering a peaceful celebration on 30th May the anniversary of the shooting of 1925. Chinese agitators have been inflaming the masses for weeks past. Special police, defence forces and volunteers are standing by but certain sections of Chinese got out of hand today and stoned tramcars and foreigners motor-cars. Sporadic rioting continuing proved to be wholly the maclination of Communists.
Chinese Republican’s “Daily News” was stormed and the office windows and editor’s car wrecked and interior partitions destroyed. Shun Pao, the biggest of Chinese journals facade was completely wrecked. There were hundreds of arrests and the city is flooded with anti-foreign pamphlets.
