BRITISH NAVAL PLANS,
London, Yesterday.
In the Supreme Court this morning before Sir Joseph In the House of Commons, ask- Kemp, K.C., Wong Lam-fong, exe-ed whether his attention had been cutrix of the will of the late Mr. called to Italy's new naval pro- Lee Hysan, sought to recover the gramme to build 29 warships, Mr. sum of $6,000 from Lai Pak-hoi,
Plaintiff was represented by Mr. F. C. Jenkin, instructed by Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist, but the de- fendant was not present.
The money was said to have been lent to the defendant by the late Mr. Lee Hysan.
As Mr. Jenkin proceeded to give particulrs of the claim, His Lordship discovered that there was an error in the summons, in regard to the returning date. The bailiff, Mr. W. H. C. Bouchier, was called to give an explanation to Mr. Jenkin. After conversing with counsel, it was decided that the case could not be gone on with.
The case was accordingly ad- journed sine die, and in the mean- time a fresh writ will be served,
he contracted with Lee Wing- ho, who was introduced to him by Mok Kam-shuen, to instal water pipes in some new houses, Nos. 490 tá 500 Shanghai Street. The price for the work was agreed on at $390, and in January Kwong received $100 from Lee on account.
The work having been completed, Kwong called on Lee at 14, Tseung Sau Street, West, yesterday, to col- lect the balance of $296 due to him on the job. To his surprise, Lee produced a receipt made in his (Kwong's) name, and told him that he had paid the balance to Mok on January 22, on production of the receipt purporting to have been signed by Kwong. Mok is al- leged to have disappeared.

Mr. A. V. Alexander.
Alexander, First Lord, replied that the Admiralty were aware of the proposed Italian pro- gramme. It was usual for a coun- try's naval requirements to be considered every Spring, so there was nothing unusual in the an- nouncement.
The intimation of this pro- gramme was not specially given at the London Naval Conference. Our own programme was under consideration, but he was unable to say what it would be.-Reuter.
TIRED OF LIFE?
Two cases of alleged attempt taj commit suicide occupied the atten- tion of the Police yesterday after- neon. A woman was concerned in each case.
The first was Chiu Man-ying (22), married, staying in room 48) at the Tai Ting boarding house, Connaught Road Central. She was found unconscious in her room yes- terday afternoon suffering from opium poisoning, alleged to have been self administered. The mana-, ger of the boarding house sum- moned the Police, who removed her to the Government Civil Hospital. The woman's condition is not con. sidered serious."
The other would-be suicide was Chan Siu (45), married, of 18, Kwei Heung Street, second floor, West Point. She was alleged to have jumped into the harbour from the seawall in Connaught Road, near the Tung On wharf. Rescue was effected by a boatman named Chan Kau, and Chinese Revenue Officer Wong.Kan. The Police took her to the Government Civil Hospi- tal suffering from the effects of im- mersion. Her life is not in danger.
