A DIPLOMAT BUSY
CHINE8E MINISTER CONDUCTING
INVESTIGATION
THINKS HIS BROTHER INSULTED
Immigration Inspectors Are Asked to
Explain the Detention of Consul
After Facts Causing Clerks Arrest
Consular Employe Who Killed Him
self May Cause Some Friction
WASHINGTON The Chinese min
ister is awaiting the return to Wash
ington of Secretary Hay when he
will file an official protest against the
treatment accorded his brother Lang
Hsun consul general to the Philip
pines and a party of women who ac
companied him by the immigration
inspector at San Francisco on their
arrival at that city lecently
N Although the inspector was in
structed to facilitate their landing
they were detained for some time
finally being permitted to land after
the minister had made representa
tions to the state department
The immigration officials claim that
their action in the matter was en
tirely justified in view of the fact
that only two ot the party had pass
ports which served as a means of
identification as the lav in such cases
requires Further they say there
were three members of the party
whose names had not been previous
ly furnished as entitled to the cour
tesies of the port These were Mrs
Chang Choh Fan wife of the Chinese
consul at Honolulu her daughter and
a maid The Chinese minister sub
sequently to giving advices concern
ig the intended arrival of his brother
and the two women at San Francisco
asked the state department to facili
tate the landing of the others at
Honolulu The immigration bureau of
ficials claim that inasmuch as other
Chinese arrived on the same steamer
it was necessary for the ministers
brother and his entire party to be
Identified and say that on this being
done they immediately were shown
every courtesy and their landing facil
itated
The Chinese minister does not in
tend to drop the matter of the arrest
of Tom Kim Yung the Chinese con
sular clerk at San Francisco which
is said to have been the direct cause
of the young mans suicide until he
is fully satisfied that the whole af
fair has been probed to the bottom
Should the investigation which the
secretary of the Chinese legation
who was sent to San Francisco and
who vill report in person to the min
ister is now making confirm the in
formation already received here that
the arrest of Tom Kim Yung by the
San Francisco policeman was unpro
voked the minister will make a vigor
ous protest to the state department
Relatives of Tom Kim Yung have
emploved an attorney and he is as
sisting in the investigation
