Hicks Murder Inquiry Ordered Amid China Case
Special to The Northwestern from Washington March 20 Congress man Davidson has appealed to President Taft and the state department for Bert Hicks murdered by Chinese pirates on the Canton river. The department will arrange a shipment through Hongkong to Oshkosh if no obstacles arise. Bert Hicks, a noted teacher in the mines, faced river piracy and local corruption along the Canton, with punitive expeditions repeatedly failing to curb the depredations. The American consul is instructed to investigate and secure justice, though success appears unlikely amid local officials and clan connivance.
