AGITATOR MOBBED BY.
AUDIENCE.
last night at about half past eight A very ugly incident took place
in Bonham Strand when a Chinese agitator was mobbed by his audi- ence. He was so badly mauled that he had to be sent to the Govern- ment Civil Hospital for treatment.
According to an bye-witness, it appeared that this man carried a white banner with Chinese charno- ters on it. He perched himself on a piece of stone and etarted telling the men who had gathered around him what the Japanese had done to China. He urged that every true | son of China "should stand up and wage war against Japanese mili tarism.
His oration was most fiery and while he harped" on the anti-Japan-" ese chord, his audience were alten-.- tive, and accorded the speaker some applause. It would have been well for him had he ended thers, but he had something more to say which his listeners refused to put up with.

The listeners held their breath and waited for the orator to continue. This man went on to describe.

Without much ado the audience set upon the orator. They kicked and beat him mercilessly, and things looked very black for him until a Shantung constable came on the scene. There was such a large crowd gathered. that it was impossible for the constable to distinguish theate tackers from spectators. The moby however, went away quietly and no arresta were made. "The orator was badly injured and had to be taken to the Government Civil Hospital in an ambulance.
The injured man gave his name sug as Hu and it is believed that he is. a leading member of the Chiness. Beamen's Union.
