The first and second defendants stat. Jed that they were merely smokers and had nothing to do with the oplum at all, while the third man entered a plea of guilty to being in charge of the letivan.

Defendant's Discharged

On the revenue officer accepting the plens, the Arst two defendants were ac !cordingly discharged.

Mr. Whyte-Smith remarked 'that it Twas a long time since he had dealt with a divan case. Revenue Officer Tallon re- plied that in this case it was a big divan, and had large daily sales. As Ja result of the raid, 24 people were found smoking the drug, while 14 lamps [and pipes were picked up.

LOAN TRANSACTION

Money-lender Sues

Chauffeur.

Before His Honour the Puigne Judge (Mr. Justice J. E. Wood) at the Summary Court this morn- Ing, Sher Singh, a licensed money- lender, sued a Chinese chauffeur employed by the Hong Kong Hotel for the recovery of $50 on a pro- missory note.

Plaintiff averred that he ori ginally lent $100 to the defendant and, following the usual practice, a note for $200 was signed. Of this defendant had repaid the sum of $70. A new promissory note (again following the usual prac tice), for $60 was made out by the defendant for the outstanding bal- ance of $30. Defendant paid $5 on account agaist the loan, and plaintiff gave a receipt for $10.

this morning states:

formation has been received from the Foreign Minister of the Central Government requesting that British merchant vessels be warned against navigating the Upper West River, above Tong Hsien, which is about 30 miles

above Wuchow, for the period of two weeks, due to the outbreak of hostilities."

LOST PEOPLE

Tracing Them By Telephone

Canton, Yesterday. In view of the inadequacy of former methods of recovering persons reported lost, the Bureau of Public Safety has decided that the sub-bureau, under whose jurisdiction a person has been reported lost, should telephone ul the different sub-bureaux a descrip- tion and other details of the person, whilst policemen should be despatched immediately to make inquiry-Canton Į News Agency.

That was also in accordance with the usual practice.

That not was also signed in compli- ance with the usual practice and the exact amount due to the plain- tiff for Interests was $80. He paid $10 and not $5 as the plain- tiff alleged.

His Honour said he disbelieved defendant's story and gave judg ment for plaintiff for the amount of the claim; ordering isstalments of $4 a month begincing from March 1.

FOR SUBSIDIES

TREATY OBLIGATIONS

Rugby, Yesterday. The Premier was asked in the House of Commons whether he would introduce an immediate legia-) lation to stop the dumping of food products in this country below the cost of production in the countries of origin through the machinery of Government subsidies.

The Premier said that the Gov- national convention for the abolition ernment were parties to an inter|

of import and export prohibitions and restrictions. Action of the kind suggested would be in oppoal- tion to this. The question had been very seriously considered and the first obstacle to action of the class suggested were treaties and an agreement, which would have to be denounced. It certainly was a sub- ject that would have to be carefully) and thoroughly examined. The Government had come to the conclu- alon that the first place for raising it was at Geneva.-British Wireless Service..
