ROUNDING UP REDS
THROUGHOUT EMPIRE.

TOKYO, Dec. 28.-A wide pc
lice. roundup of anarchists IND
communists is under way in Tokyo,
following the Sensational attempt to
assassinate Crown Prince Hirohi1
to, prince regent and ruler of ia
pan.
Hirohita, idol of the Japanses peo-
pie, escaped unscathed when a
youth named Namba fired on the
automobile in which the regent was
proceeding to the diet.
Members of the japanese cabi-
net have presented their joint resi-
nation as a mark of their humilia-
ton over the-attempt on Hirohito's
life, but it is expected that the re-
gent will refuse to permit them TO
quit office.
Tokyo newspapers Thursday after
noon did not carry any stories Of
the attack, the news presumably
having been suppressed, but word
that Hirohito's life was in peril had
spread through the city, and feeling
against the communist and anarch-
list groups is at fever pitch.
