For the theft of a plank of wood. from an open timber yard at Can- ton Road a Chinese, who was arrest- ed by an Indian Sub-Inspector, was at Kowloon Magistracy to-day sentenced to 14 days' jail. A similar sentence was meted out to another Chinese, a cook to the Wing Yick firm of building contractors, who pleaded guilty to stealing two cattles of salt fish.
It was not until a few hours bad elapsed that the police thought it advisable to charge a man, who was caught trying to push 81 feet of unused electric wiring under an gate at the Kowloon Docks, with unlawful possession. Mr. T. S. Saturday sent Whyte-Smith on
the culprit to prison for one month.

Electoral reform could not be carried in all probability until late next year. The Observer points out that the prolongation of the Government's tenure of office would mean that the Prime Minister would preside over the forthcoming Imperial Confer- ence and over the Indian Conference next Autumn.
The Simon Report
There would be a vital gain to public interests in that national politics would not be thrown into the melting pot immediately after the publication of the Simon Commis-, sion's report.
The Sunday Times also says that an understanding has been reached whereby, if the Government is able to carry the Coal Bill, it will lend a sympathetic ear to Liberal griev ances in regard to the electoral system. It points out that with the passage of the Coal Bill, the con- tentious part of the Government's programme for the session should be practically out of the way- British Wireless Service.
