His suggested alternatives were:
1. Death penalty for "first degree" murders; and
2 Imprisonment for murders committed under such emotional: stress as jealousy 6r despair. Dr. Methven said:
If capital punishment were abolished many tallaves would arm themselves and ill in order to reduce the chance of arrest. They would argue that a sen- tence of imprisonment must fol- low arrest for theft; murder' would merely increase the length | of auch imprisonment.

A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
LOCAL NEWS, CHINESE NEWS. and all the NEWS. The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
A literally "burning" question-that of the increased number of fires in the Colony during 1929, as compared with previous years,-was, referred to at the Hong Kong Fire Insurance Company meeting held during the week. As a result, it was said, the year had been a lean one' for fire insurance companies, and the current year's outturn would probably show a decrease. However, there had lately been a slight improvement shown, and there was ground for optimism as to the future. The proceedings are fully re- ported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
A sensational seizure of poison gas and dum-dum bullets, shipped by Nanking to Yunnan for use in a campaign against Kwangsi, was made in Haiphong. It is understood that the matter will be brought before the League of Nations by the Governor of Indo-China. The full and exclusive story of the affair appears in the current OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
Startlingly frank criticisms of British commercial air services, and particularly the Imperial Airways, are con- tained in the course of an exclusive interview with the pilot of Mr. Van Lear Black's Fokker round-the-world 'plane. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL reproduces the interview in full.
The sensational escape of Mr. Hul Hau-yak and a friend from the hands of pirates who captured them aboard the Deli Maru last September, and their dramatic arrival in Hong Kong, is also chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, which, in addition, carries a full story of the trial of two men for conspiracy with the pirates in negotiations to eflect the ransom of the captives, which trial was concluded at the Criminal Sessions only a few days before Mr. Hul's dramatic return.
The growth of educational facilities in the Colony, in- cluding the only complete account of the opening of the new home of the St. Stephen's College at Stanley, and also the presentation of prizes at St. Paul's College and the Central British School, also appear in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
Sports reports contributed by experts, including the Second Extra Race Meeting, the final of the Sunday Herald Football Cup, and the University Sports, are a feature of the new issue of the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL also deals with the latest developments in the Northern situation, and the growing threat of war in this froubled area.......
There is no phase of the life of the Colony or of China that does not receive attention in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL- the weekly paper that YOU MUST ORDER NOW.
Letters to relatives and friends înļ lix, and Canada testify to the keen other parts of the world frequently pleasure and interest ile weekly fail to be written even by the most arrival brings.
