Mr Wentz laughed, stating that he was an imports and ex- ports men. He thought that it would not take much time to get one of these towers alongside a burning building-he had seen the firemen take less than two minates to bring their own equip ment alongside the King Edward.

The Coroner said that much of Mr. Wentz's subsequent remarks could not be included as evidence, but the jury would doubtless take full note of what he had said.

Mr. Wentz further referred to the locked grille at the bottom of the fire escape, which was the evidence of his own eyes.

Finally, Mr. Wentz explained that he had nothing to say against the personnel of the Fire Brigade. It was with their equip ment that he found fault, for he had always maintained that how-On ever good a mechanic raight be, he could not do much without proper tools.

Mr. King, replying to: the Coroner, said he did not wish to put any question with regard to the statements just made by wit- ness. He gathered, however, that Mr. Wentz complained of the de- lay in the arrival of the Fire

much without the proper tools.

Mr. King:

I am glad I am wrong. I understood that you complained that you were in the street before the Fire Brigade arrived.

Mr. Wentz: I was in Ice House- atreet, when the Brigade was in Des Voeux-road. I want to say, that Chief. Erooks, as I under- stand him to be that, helped me to recover my papers from my room before the flames drove me out entirely.

The Coroner: The jury desire me to say that they are glad that you have come forward to give your evidence. I don't think you really believe, for a moment that they wished to suppress any evid- ence. If so, I can assure you that it was entirely incorrect. I am very much obliged to you for coming into Court.

The incident then closed.

Coroner's Address After another short adjourn ment, the Coroner addressed the reassembled jury as follows:

"I do not propose to delay you with any detailed reference to the evidence tendered at this en- quiry, as you have had in your possession from the beginning copies of the ovidence handed to you daily, after each hearing.

Easter Week has been eventful in Hong Kong and China. The holidays began with war clouds hanging over Canton, bringing in them train the portent of trade dislocation. Other counsels prevailed and Canton now stands devoutly for peace.

Conditions in the Yangtsze Valley, Central China, are not so encouraging. But the worst that can be said is that deve: lopments are panning out much as expected, so that the civil war ought to finish early; and China will be able to proceed; with setting her house in order; and merchants, both Chin- ese and foreign, will be able to continue their business with- out further hindrance.

Disturbing news has come through from Fukien about interference with an establishment of the London Mission Society

Other than that, and the unrest in Shantung promontory, there is not much else to cause alarm. It is the duty of Hong Kong, therefore, to tell the world and Britain in parti- cular what the position is so that there need be no further hesitation. A good, sound way of describing the latest oc- currences is to send the "Overland China Mail.” with its news,

articles, comment and pictures -- pictures of local people and scenes. It is the only illustrated weekly budget of news published in Hong Kong, and it contains, all the "local" and "China"

news of the week.
