Here there may be recreation I spaces for the poorer people; a fine road has been suggested; and many Improvements which will make this delightful town still more attractive both to the tourist and to the visi- tor from other parts of Malaya.

One is reminded when listening to a discussion about the details of thia proposed scheme of what has been done at Hong Kong.

HO! HO! HO!

AND A BATTLE FOR RUM.

New York, August 12, The British cargo steamer "An- sonia," which recently was seized with 7,000 cases of liquor aboard, became the scene of a veritable "movie" thriller, marked by a lively exchange of revolver and rifle shots.

Thirty policemen were guarding. the cargo, when motor truck-loads of bootleggera came to the wharf and attempted to seize the ship and cargo officers and all. The police offered a sharp resistance, chasing the trucks away and following them for a quarter of a mile, but when they returned to the dock they found that the ship had slipped the cables, tying it to the wharf, and was making a dash for the open

sea.

Luck, however, deserted the hardy rum-runners, for they had not gone two miles before they ran on to a sand bank, and the police

their prize recaptured

few minutes later.
