CABARET “ROW:”

U. S. SOLDIER CONVICTED OF

MANSLAUGHTER.

SEVEN YEARS' JAIL.

By the required two-thirds vote of all members present, the ballot, being taken in secret, the general] Court-Martial in Manila presided over by Brigadier General Luctus R. Holbrook on November 4 de cided against the charge of mur- der on which private James M. Brown, Medical Department, was "not guilty of the charge" of mur- der of Edward Van Ness, U. S. N., was arraigned, and handed down verdict of manslaughter. Brown was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment.

8

The Court's findings as read by the President proclaim that Brown was "not guilty of the charge" which, laid under the 92nd Article of War, specified murder as the offence and permit ted the death penalty, but "guilty of a violation of the 93rd Article of War," which provides punish- ment for manslaughter, among other offences. Brown was also found guilty of the specification under the original charge, with the exception of the words "with malice aforethought and with de- liberate intent."

After further deliberation, the Court, by the same majority, voted sentence which includes dishonourable discharge from the military service of the United States; forfeiture of all pay and allowances due or to become due, and confinement at hard labour at auch place as the reviewing authority may designate, for seven years.

FLOODS THREAT.

ANXIETY AT KUALA LUMPUR RELIEVED.

TWO RIVERS SUBSIDE.

Kuala Lumpur, Nov. 1. The Klang and Gombak rivers have subsided a good deal this morning. Anxiety as to flooding is temporarily relieved.

An earlier message stated:→→ With the daily downpour Kuala Lumpur people are at present in constant fear of being overtaken by floods..

There was heavy rain again during the night and the Klang and Gombok rivers have been ris- ing all day. By noon the water had reached the girders of all the bridges and a portion of Ampang Street was inundated..

At four o'clock to-day (October 31) the Kampong Attap bridge was under water while the M.V.I. headquarters, which is quite close by, was submerged to a height of about three feet.

SOVIET ACTIVITY.

PENETRATING SPHERE OF JOHN BULL.

TREATIES AIMED AT BRITAIN.

London, Nov. 3. Recent Soviet Russian efforts Britain's to penetrate Great sphere of influence in Persia have been brought to the fore as a re- in sult of three developments Russo-Feralar relations:-

1-Persia's cutting of Bri- tain's inter-Empire air route from Cairo to Karachi, which allegedly due to Russo-German' machinations.

2.--Conclusion of six Russo- Persian treaties of friends and non-aggression and commerce.

3--Appointment of two Ger mans and two Swiss to high ad- visory posts in Persians economic and finance departments to the exclusion of British.

Though Russia appears on the surface to be unconnected with these appointments, it is believed that she has a hand in them..

But other quarters are dispos ed to view the situation as more serious. It is noteworthy that the King of Afghanistan is due to visit London in December, but authoritative circles point out also that a visit to Paris and Ber- lin is projected, with probably Moscow as well, thus forestalling over-hasty conclusions as to the purpose of the visit.

It is generally believed that the conclusion of the recent Russo- Persian treaties is not connected with the current Turkish threats to Persia over the border bandit raida.-United Press.

This revived speculation on the point as to whether Henry L Stimson, former Secretary of War and recently President Coolidge's personal investigator in Nicara- gua, is the man whom the Ad- ministration has in mind for the Manila position..
