FINDINGS:
Harbin, Oct. 21. Strong criticisms of the Chinese police for failing to in- tervene when bandits murdered Mr. C. T. Woodruff, wife of the chief, accountant of the B. A. T. Company, were made yesterday by the British Consul General, Mr. C. F. Garstin, C.M.G., when he called on General Chin Jung- kui, the Chief of Police in con- nexion with outrage.

MUKDEN, OCT. 21. NERVOUS, FATIGUED AND FEVERISH FROM A SEVERE COLD, MRS. MURIEL PAWLEY, WHO WAS RELEASED WITH MR. CHARLES CORKRAN YESTERDAY MORNING AFTER SIX WEEKS IN THE HANDS OF BANDITS, WILL HAVE TO GO INTO HOSPITAL WHERE IT IS EXPECTED SHE WILL BE REQUIRED TO STAY FROM TWO TO THREE WEEKS.
There is reason to believe that Mrs. Pawley's ill- ness, combined with the persuasion of the Japanese negotiator, Captain Kawahito, moved the bandit chief- tain to release the captives as Mrs. Pawley's death might have brought doom upon his head.
Warm is the praise for Captain Nawahito, who is an officer in the gendarmerie of the Kwantung Army, and whose desperate efforts succeeded in securing the release of the captives when it seemed possible that the negotiations might break down. Captain Kawahito personally escorted Mrs. Pawley and Mr. Corkran to Newchwang from Panshan.-Reuter.
