JAPANESE SEIZE HIGH OFFICIAL
PEIPING AMAZED AT DETENTION
SEQUEL TO MURDER OF LUANTUNG OFFICER
Peiping, Aug. 6.
Mr. Tao Shang-min, Counsellor of the Peiping Political Council, who failed to return to his home after calling at the office of the Japanese Military Attache yesterday to discuss the Luanchow murder, is believed to be detained in the compound of the Japanese Legation.
On report states that on Chinese official enquiries being made, a member of the Military Attache's staff explained that Mr. Tao, is being detained, "but is being treated well and is helping to solve the problem of Liu Tsu-chow's murder."
General amazement is expressed at the Japanese action in detaining a high Chinese official, especially as the detention appears to have been done by a minor Japanese official. Major Takahashi, the Military Attache, is at present absent in Shansi, but is expected, back to-night.
