ARSENAL COMEBACK TOO LATE?
HUDDERSFIELD DEFEATED
NEWCASTLE'S RELAPSE AFTER
CUP FINAL,
RANGERS CAPTURE POINTS
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
London, Yesterday.
The Arsenal are on the road to success, but alas too late! To-day they defeated Huddersfield on foreign soil by the odd goal in three. Newcastle, the Cup holders, were forced to a draw on their own ground by the lowly-placed Black- pool, both sides scoring twice.
In the Scottish League the Rangers de- feated the Hamilton Academicals by the only goal scored to gain two points and to ensure their position as runners-up in the Scottish First Division. Clyde also gained a home victory over Queen's Park by a soli- tary goal.

Inquest Into Death of Coolie.
**WILFUL MURDER.”
The inquest, into the death of Taoi Yuen, a Cathedral coalie, who WBS killed Ba the result of a mysterious bomb explosion in the grounds of the St. John's Cathedral on the morning of March 30, was concluded before Mr. Schofield (28) Coroner) fn the Central Police Court this morning,
The Jury, comprising Messrs. L. A. Whipps (foreman) J. M. Sunley and Lo Kum-ying, returnedį a verdict of "Wilful murder against| some person or persons unknown."
The Coroner, in summing up; said the medical evidence went to show that the deceased may have picked it up while he was in a stop- ping position, and tried to open the "rolled cats" tin. The fragments found in the deceased's arm had not been reserved as they certainly should have been.
He continued "There is no evi- dence to show who brought the (bomb there, and it is very clear that| the death of the deceased was due to this bomb. No evidence either of who the bomb was intended for." After explaining the law on the subject, the Coroner concluded:-"I think, therefore, that the only verdict that you can arrive at the present state of the evidence is that death was due by wilful murder against some person

Dr. Pope added that if the sunny weather continued the epidemic would gradually disappear. Ex- cepting for the few European cases occurring at the earlier stage of the epidemic, the non-Chinese population have been immune. He thought that the last non-Chinese case was that of the late Mr. Manuk..
Most of the cases have been among the Chinese of the lower classes.
