A serious complaint by the Chinese Customs as to the alarming growth of smuggling from Hong Kong to Kwang- Lung ports is reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. The Customs add that unless some improvement in the situa- tion can be effected, steps must be taken to tighten up the preventive system on vessels sailing out of Hong Kong.
The gruesome murder of a Buddhist priest in Kowloon, and the vital importance of two teeth found in the man's flat, form the subject of an interesting trial, which is fully reported in the‘OVERLAND CHINA MÄIL. În the course of cross-examination, Mr. Jenkia, who appears for the defence, made some startling suggestions of laxity in Police methods. Defalcations to a very considerable extent, by the late secretary of the Humphreys Estate and Finance Company, Ltd., were referred to at the annual meeting of shareholders. A sunt of $135,000, it was said, had been set aside to a special reserve for defalcations, besides an ez gracia payment of $15,000 by the Directors of the Managing Company. A full account appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
Confusion and comment arising out of the change-over from manual to automatie telephones was general during the first day or two's working of the new system. The dif- ficulties met with by the Telephone Company are tersely dealt with in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
In Northern China, Yen Hsi-shan, the "mystery man " has at last definitely thrown in his lot with Feng Yu-hsiang and Wang Ching-wei. The three have issued a manifesto in which Wang is appointed head of a new "government" to be established in Peking, with Yen as his chief co-adjutant, and Feng as the military leader. Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, at Nanking, is reported to be planning an extensive campaign to put down this movement. Full dispatches appear in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
OVERLAND CHINA MAIL sport experts, as usual, con- tribute special features, this week's issue containing a full account of the opening of the local lawn bowls season, and also descriptions and results of the Hong Kong Military Areas, St. Joseph's College, and Sacred Heart School sports, besides the usual tennis, cricket, and football articles.
