The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.

Because it struck the Colony on a Thursday, the typhoon is reported in this week's "Overland China Mail," the first weekly news budget published after the event. But because.. it is printed this week, the "Overland" contains a complete account, not only of the storm here, but also of the aftermath and its effect on other places. The full story will be eagerly read elsewhere as many people will desire to amplify their information (from the perusal of cursory cables) of what occurred.

Your folks in the Old Country, your friends outside Hong Kong, and your "pal" on Home leave will think it very thoughtful of you to post a copy or two to "let them know all about it.

Furthermore, there is much else of interest in the "Over- land." As usual, a large variety of items is covered, dealing with "local" events, of which there are so many of importance that it is difficult to single out a few for mention,

Then again, the Home papers have been Living prominence to incidents in Manchuria, in the dispute between China and Russia. The "Overland" contains all the informa- tive cables and articles obtainable about this latest war and it will be read studiously in both Europe and America.

The art supplement of the "China Mail" is given away free with the "Overland." Make sure of your requirements as the demand this week is already heavy.

In the whirl of a trying Hong Kong summer, letters to relatives and friends to other parts of the world frequently fail to be writtent even by the most ardent correspondents.

THE

MURDER OF P.C.

CHINESE COMMITTED FOR TRIAL AT SESSIONS

EXPLANATIONS OF AFFAIRS

J

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. T. S. Whyte-Smith concluded the prelimin- ary hearing, at the Kowloon Magis- tracy, of the case in which a Chinese named Lam Ling is charged with the murder of a Sikh constable named Sapooran Singh on a vacant piece of ground near Kung Chung market, Yau- mati, on July 10.

Accused's Injuries Evidence of an examination of the accased after his arrest was given by Dr. D. J. Valentine. He said that ac- cused had injuries on the left side of the head and abrasions on the face. In addition, there were four wounds on his hands and forearm. The wounds on the hands might have been inflicted by the two choppers found near the murdered Indian. Witness could give no theory as to the cause of the in-

ury on accused's head.

The

ease

concluded with formal evidence by Detective-Inspector Fallon, who described the position of the In- dian's budy, and identified articles of clothing found on the spot; whilst a Chinese interpreter attached to the Yaumati Police Station spoke of five questions put to accused before he was charged, by Chief Detective Inspector Reynolds regarding accused's where- abouts at the time of the murder.

Struggle With a Truncheon Accused was also asked to explain the cuts on his person. The reply was that the constable had sent accused te buy 30 cents of wine for him. When he returned, he accused the Indian of taking advantage of his wife, and the Indian hit him with his truncheon. Accused snatched the truncheon away, and when the indina pulled out his revolver, he also seatched it away. Then the Indian hit him three times with a chopper, which he (accused) finally also succeeded in wrenching from the Indian. Accused then went away. He did not know if the Indian was dead or alive when he left him. In reply to the actual charge, accused said that he did not know anything about

Accused was committed for trial at the next Criminal Sessions.

DIED IN JAIL

CHINESE WHO WAS JAILED FOR PIRACY

VICTIM OF LUNG TROUBLE

The death of a prizoner in Victoria ail was the subject of an inquiry at the Central Magistracy yesterday afternoon.

The

man, who was convicted of piracy, was sentericed to ten years' hard labour on October 13, 1922. On admission to jail, the prisoner was examined by Dr. Paterson who found that he was suffering from lung trou- ble.

On March 23, 1920, the prisoner's complaint became more generalised and he was placed in the prison hospital. Then. March 25, prisoner's condi- tion became so serious that the Gov- ernment was notified that the man i would not survive his sentence. After long consideration, it was decided that ¡prisoner would be as well off inside the

jail as outside..

Prisoner died at 6.25 pm., on Wed- nesday, and a post mortem examina-
