The car, at the time, was being driven not by the proper driver, Wong Chuen, but by another man named Ah Wong, who was one of the two killed on the spot.
Dangerous Driving.
The facts relative to the crash are being investigated by the Traffic Department; but sufficient has been disclosed to suggest that: at the time of the mishap the car) was being driven at a dangerous speed. It contained A party, engaged on a joy-ride, which had started out from the pleasure quarter at West Point.
Leaving Shektongsul after the restaurants had closed down, the party set out in the car some time after 3 a.m. The body of the machine was occupied by four men and Sung, Fung-sam, a sing- song girl, while on the driver's seat and sitting beside each other were Wong Chuen, the licensed driver of the car, and Ah Wong, an acquaintance, who is said to be also a licensed driver in private employ.
No mechanism, it is stated, is involved in this latest case, the third of a series of accidents since operations commenced on the building.
The first accident which was caused through the collapse of a derrick, resulted in three deaths and two other workmen being seriously injured.
The second
case occurred only last Wednes- day, when the victim was a girder fitter, who lost his footing through the snapping of a girder binder and was seriously hurt after drop ping from the fourth storey.

GERMANY'S UNHEALED WOUND IN POLAND.
گو
Berlin, Aug. 10. Lively discussions at Warsaw, and possibly even diplomatic incident, are likely to follow the speech of Dr. Treviranus, the former Minister of the Occupied Regions, in which he discussed in an outspoken manner the question of Germany's eastern frontiers.
Speaking at a demonstration to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the plebiscite of East Prussia (in which ninety per cent. of the inhabitants" expressed a desire to remain in Germany), Dr. Treviranus referred to the Vistula region of Poland as an unhealed wound in Germany's eastern flank. On the tour around the island, He said the future of Poland the car first headed for Shaukiwan. could only be assured if Germany Coming back from Repulse Bay on and Poland were not kept in a the return to the city, the car had state of perpetual unrest by un passed the listel and was proceed- just frontiers. ing along the straight stretch of Dr. Treviranus added, "Our eyes level roadway skirting the golf see with grief the land which "course when the mishap occurred. to-day is lost to us, but one day i may be rewon.
