TREES AND SHRUBS.
CERTAIN AREAS TO BE PRESERVED.'
51
TRESPASSERS WILL BE
PROSECUTED.
The Attorney-General, at the meeting of the Legislative Council yesterday afternoon, moved, the first reading of "An Ordinance to enable certain areas to be declared prohibited areas with a view to the protection of afforestation opera- tions.
[
ין
He said: The Botanical and Ferestry Department have been greatly hampered in their opera tions by the "destruction of trees which they have planted. That des. truction occurs in two ways. In the first place very young trees are often cut down carelessly by per. sons who are cutting grass on the hill-side. In the second place older trees are very often deliberately cut down in order that the wond may be sold. At present it is perfectly easy for a man who goes out an the hill side deliberately to cat down and steni trees of this kind to cease his catting operations when he sees the Forest Guard approach- ing. He hides his saw or axe, and perhaps lights a cigarette and sits down and he is perfectly safe. He waits until the Forest Guard has passed, and then he resumes his cutting and stealing. The present Bill proposes to tackle this problem The from a new point of view. proposal is that certain deficite, carefully selected areas should be declared prohibited areas and it "should be an offence not merely to cut trees in such areas but an affence to be found in those areas.
The areas will be carefully selected by the Governor-in-Council, the boundaries will be clearly marked and there will be no excuse for any one straying into those areas in advertently. It will be made quite clear that the area is one that should not be entered. The prohibition against entry into these areas will be absolute so that not only will
persons who wish to cut" wood or grass be prohibited from entering, but also shooting parties and picnic parties will, for the general good, have "to keep out of these areas as well. It is the intention at the moment merely to make a beginning, by declaring prohibited a certain area on the hill-side be tween Tai Tam harbour on the
Members are specially reminded that Part II. of the Musketry Course will be fred on Sunday, West and Big Wave Bay and Shek September 11th, and it is hoped that all will make a point of at- tending on that date in order that future training can be devoted to Machine Gun Instruction..

JADE TEMPTS -ROBBER.

INDIAN WATCHMAN NON-

A Chinese robber who was tempt- ed by jade ornaments displayed in the window show case of Messra. Kwong Sang, at Ice House Street, and removed jade objets d'art to. boldly smashed the window pane the value of 8130.
The window contained many valu ale jade ornaments, but appar entiy the thief was in a hurry to get away, with the result that a good, many things in the window were left untouched.

Kwong Sang is situated next to the Anderson Music Store and when at 8 am, "yesterday, the shop jodi wes to open the mises he found the window show pre case had been smashed with a piece of rock wrapped around with noise. He indignantly inquired of an Indian police constable on duty there what are you doing here and what has happened to shop,"

The Indian was unable to say anything beyond what was obvious his being there, he explained that from the anashed window. As for the watchman at Alexandra Build- ing told him that a shop window had been broken into, and that something had happened which required looking into.
CRIME IN THE COLONY.
POLICE REPORT FOR 182.
intendent of Police for 1928 abows The report of the Captain Super- that the total number of cases re- ported to the Police during the year 1926 was 20,048 As against 3,965 oz 19.4 per cent. The aver 16,753 in 1923, being an increase of age for the last five years is 16.30.
Crime connected with politica affairs, however, showed a big de crence. Aigators appears to have found Hong Kong an unremunera tive field for, their activities. A large number of Chinese who obey. ed the strike and boycott call of June 1996 drifted back to Hong Kong during 1920. Consequent un- employment was partly responsible for the increase in crime over 105 figures. Another factor in the in- crease as the resumption of com- munications in October, which gave increased facilities for the ingress and egress of criminals domiciled in Chhese territory,
Property Stolen and Recovered.
The estimated value of property stolen during the ycar WAA $484,382.53 as against $584,378.63 in 1823. a decreasa... of $100,196,06 or 20.0 per cent,
The average for the last five years' is 8611,568.38.
The value of property recovered during the year was $53,339.30 or M per cent of the value of the pro- perty stolen, as against 885,022.09 or 8.9 per cent, of the property stolen in 1995, an increase of 2.1
cent in the ratio between the property stoler and property re covered.
KING EDWARD AND HIS INDIAN SUBJECTS.
A etatement in the House of Commons that servants of the Crown are not permitted to speak of inhabitants of India as "natives" recalls the fact that this is not only a modern concession, but that it required the active protest of King Edward, as Prince of Wales, to stop a much more objectionable
practice.
More than once during his Indian our of 1876 he called the attention of the home authorities to the rude and rough manner” in which political officers approached Indian princes, and he addressed to Lord Salisbury at the India Office a very emphatic minute on the disgrace- ful habit of officers: in the Queen's service speaking of the inhabitants of India, mapy of them sprung from the great races, és 'niggers.'"
