The mee against the notor Li Chun-lel has attracted so much attention that a compa- rison with an notion that is similar in many respects is not only interesting, but in: structive. The protagonista in the case which wo chall describe are: Kin Gen sang, President of the Guild of Associated Shippers, and a member of the Committean of the Door of Hope and the Sizza Relago; Koo Taing (alins Mre. Kin), one of his wires; and an actor named Kaa Tai-yuan, who died in prison at Soochow some years ago. Though it cannot be asserted that Mr Kin is-concerned in the prosecution of Li Chen-lai, we may say that he has shown great interest in the procedings. He visited Mr, Pao Y, the Magistrate, just before the last hearing he was present during the sitting, and
