THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY,
IF PEOPLE WERE
AS NATIONS ARE
BY W. BRUCE HUTCHISON IN THE VICTORIA. (B.C.) TIMES
You may grow a little impatient at times with the world's stutesmen, but you must admit that: they can put a wonderful face on futility and failure. If ordinary people were to behave lo the fashion of the great life would be indeed re- powers, markable If the people out our way, for example, were to conduct themselves like the leading untions at the present Juncture in history, you would pick up the paper zome day and read a report of the Sannich Police Court about like this:
George Pudbury whs charged in Sannich Police Court to-day with wilfully damaging the property of Mrs. Alfred Noggins of West Saanich Rond. Witnesses testified that Pud-, bury had walked into "Mire. Noggins" | chicken pen lust Tuesday night, killed seven of her Rhode Island roosters and take them home with him; nt- ter setting fire to the hen house.
Pudbury explained to Magistrate Hull that he had been forced to this nction purely in self defence. He
said he had happened to be in Mrs. Noggins chicken pen at midnight Tuesday, while out strolling in the moonlight, and had been viciously attacked by a Rhode Island Red roos- ler. In order to defend himself had been necessary not only to till the rooster, but six others as an ex- ampie, and to burn the hen house so that there would be no recurrence af the assault upon his person.
CO-OPERATION
"Ah I'm trying to do. Yer Honour." Pudbury said to the magistrate, "is to be neighbourly with Mrs. Noggins and to co-operate with her. For years I've bin tryin' to co-operate with her, Yer Honour, but she won't! co-operate, 1 thought I would just teach her a lesson In co-operation. That there is the only reason I killed the roosters and burned down the hen house. It was just good old fashioned neighbourliness, what mucun,"
I
Pudbury complained vigorously against the treatment accorded him by Mrs. Noggins. Ile sald that he had been viciously attacked by her in a premeditated fashion after he had killed the roosters and burned the hen house. He said Mrs. Noggins had come out of her

STRANGE STORY OF JUNKMAN
Injections Forced On Crew By Japanese Seamen
An amazing story was told to the) Stanley police by Chan, Fook, one of eight members of the crew of n fishing junk, who reported that when his junk was in the Canton river delta, a Japanese destroyer, ordered him to slop and a party of about 15 seamen came aboard.
Chon declared that one by one the eight of them were held by the murines, while an offeer injected Huid into their neins from a hypoder- mie needle. They were then forced to swallow a strange tasting liquid.
Ordered into a small sumpan they began rowing for Hongkong; as they left, their junk was set on fire.

Purely in self-defence, he said, he had been forced to knock Mrs. Noggins down and tramp on her. "I just tramped on her a little," he said, "not much, you understand, but just enough so ns to defend myself." It was for- tanate, he said, that he happened to be wearing hob-nailed bools at the time.
FOR HER OWN GOOD Pudbury said he had found it necessary, In order to protect his in- terests, to take complete control of the Noggins' chicken pen and had put his son, Jim, in charge of it. He
wanted it understood, however, that
Jim, while operating the chicken farm, was doing it only for the Nog- Kins own good. "Jim is indepen-1 dent, what
mean to say," Pudbury testifled. "I have no control of him. He just gives me all the eggs, that's all. It's a neighbourly arrangement, ns you might say."
