The hearing of the Nakayama murder case which occurred last November opened yesterday afternoon at Shanghai On the excuse of guarding against possible demonstrations, a Japanese landing party monoeuvred in the Hongkew district and erected barbed wire barricades and gand-bag emplacements there from. four o'clock yesterday morning. This caused some, apprehension to Shanghai residents.

Near the Japanese barracks a Chinese woman was wounded by a bullet from a rife.... It is learned that the shot was seriden- tally discharged by a Japanese bluejacket. The ballet went through the window of the house of the woman and wounded her. At 3.30 pm, three Chinese were taken into custody by Jap- anese marines near North Szechueń Road, the reason for their arrest not being known,
