added:

|JAPS ACCUSED OF
| BURNING KOREANS
Or. Floyd W. TOmpkins Enters
Stout Protest
HAS AMERICAN WITNESSES
Declares outraees We're Committed In
Period Following Quake And Were
suppressed-AmerIean
Witnesses.

Washington.-Charges that 800
Koreans were massacred and To-
600 were imprisoned by the jap
anese during the period following
the recent earthquake are con
tained in a protest fled with Sec
retary of State Hughes by DR..
Floyd W. Tompkins as president
of the Friends of Korea in
America.
DR.. Tompkins alleges that Japanese
officials issued orders directing that
as many Koreans as possible be killed.
The protest quotes an eyewitness In
support of the charges that 250 Ko-
reans were bound hand and foot, COW
cred with oil and burned alive.
Similar substantistion is quoted in
support Of another allegation that
eight Koreans were bayonetted to
death in the presence of party Of
American motorists. who we're then
forced at pistol point to drive their
automobile over the mutilated bodies.
Captain Hedstrom, an American cit
izen, assistant dock superintendent Of
Yokohama. is quoted as authority for
the charge that the Koreans were
burned alive. The automobile party
which witnessed the bayoneting Of the
eight Koreans, according to DR..
Tompkins, was composed Of w. H.
Stevens. his wife. his sister-in-law,
Miss Ethel Wainwright, and George
Ross, Of New York City.
Referring to developments following
the earthquake, DIR. Tompkins' protest
reads, in part:
1T will be remembered that, as soon
as communication had been estab-
lished after the earthquake and while
communication was still under the
control OF Japan, Japanese propagan-
dists. who were anti-Koreans, did not
hesitate to take advantage Of even
that catastrophe to untustly and with
out foundation accuse Koreans OF loot
ing. poisoning wells, incendiarism, and
! all the crime Of the ees-,adar. and that
Japan clamped down her censorship
and refused to allow any other reports
to come through. This proved inef
fective, however, because foreign wit
nesses of the attack. were SO outraged
at the attempt to besmirch the Ko-
reans that methods were devised for
getting the truth to the world in spite
of Japan's censorship.
Eventually the Japanese Govern
ment became convinced that truth
will out and lifted the censorship SO
far as to admit the falsity of the first
reports and concede that Koreans had
been murdered and interned. Yet we
saw no promise of punishment for OF.
tenders. or Of redress OF any kind"
DR.. Tompkins recalls that, following
the example Of the United States In
1882, IA nations made formal treaties
with Korea for her assistance and
protection" Despite these treaties, he
asserts, "a people once proud to call
themselves Korean citizens are now
reduced to people without a country.
with no one to speak in their behalf. .
This reduction. Dr. TompkIns. alleges,
is chargeabIe to Japan.
