KIDNAPPED CHILD DISCOVERED Reported Missing Six
Years Ago..
MAXIMUM FINE FOR CULPIT
"The purpose of the legisla tion is precisely to prevent peo ple from kidnapping children and taking them to the country to sell to people like you. By your action you have encouraged kid- nappers to take girl up to the country." said Mr. E. . Wyang Jones at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning when imposing the maximum fine of $250 on Chan Chung-shng of No. 167 Sai Yeung Choi Street. for keeping 18-year-old Chan Yau-pak. an girl, as an unregistered mui tsai. Inspector II. W. Fraser. of the S.C.A., stated that the par- ents of Chan Yau-fuk, came to the S.C.A. ami reported that; their daughter, who had been kidnapped six years ago. was in | the Colony.
fle also stated that the girl the country had been taken to
by two women, who took her from village in village trying to sell her. Eventually Chan Chung-shing paid $300 for her. and had kept her ever since to do the house work, paying her no wages.
The defendant said that he bought the girl three years ago, but did not intend to keep her as a mui tsai. and had brought her to Hong Kong only last year.
According to the girl, however, she had been brought to Hong Kong four years ago.
Defendant then said that he did not believe that the child's alleged parents were really her parents.

letter Sir, I have received, u from & planist, Harold Scott, who has been touring India for the past two years giving lecture- recitals u halls, clubs, schools and hotels and on the wireless. He arrives in Hong Kong on Sep- tomber 3, and intends to give, some concerts here..
Although I personally have not heard of this artist, his critiques, London and taken from various provincial, Scottish and Contin- ental papers, show that his per- formances are of a high order.
I considered that some arrange- ments should be mado before Mr. Scott's arrival and have there- fore reserved. the Helena May Institute for a recital to be given by him on Friday, September 7 lat 9.15 p.m. The cost of the tic
kets will probably be $2 and $1. plus tax. It is a long time since) a distinguished artist visited the Colony, and I hope that music-' lovers will book the date and en- deavour to accord him full sup port.
Arrangements have also been made for him to play from ZBW
on September 4, and he is to give Peninsula Hotel
a recital at the
on the 9th.
any If there are
élubs or schools here who would care to invite him to give one of his edu- cational lecture-recitals, they could communicate with me. From all accounts, his recitals are of interest even to people who do not profess to be very musical, Having travelled so long in India, Harold Scott is under no delu- sions as to monoy-making possi- bilities in the Far East; his fee) would be reasonable. in fact he would be content with a propor- tion of the receipts, whatever they

ASPRO
THOUSANDS have testified to the efficacy of 'ASPRO,' and thousands more have proved by use that ‘ASPRO' definitely soothes away the excruciating pains of Lumbago, Sciatica, Neuralgia, Headaches, etc. It quickly stops the pain. There is no waiting or delay; furthermore, 'ASPRO' is safe, and it does not harm the heart, digestion, or stomach. It can be taken by anyone, anywhere, at any time, and the reason why "ASPRO' has such a large number of uses in every home is because, after ingestion in the system, it is an internal antiseptic-an anti-pyretic or fever reducer an anti-periodic-a powerful germicide, and a definite solvent of Uric Acid.
Let your slogan be:-
