UNLA FUL WIRELESS.

Six Men Face Charges of Maintaining Station.

CASE IN KOWLOON COURT.

Bail of $4,000 was fixed by Mr. Himsworth at Kowloon

Magistracy yesterday for each of the six men who were charged

with establishing, maintaining and working a telegraph station

without a Government licence, and possession of a combined

transmitter-receiver without a licence.

Mr. Peter H. Sin, representing the defendants, renewed

his application for bail. He said that the maximum fine for

the offences alleged to have been committed by his clients was

$1,000, and hoped his Worship would fix bail at that figure.

Mr. M.J. Abbott, Assistant Crown Solicitor, requested

that bail be of an adequate amount to ensure that the defendants

would appear in Court'. He anticipated that the case will be

taken summarily.

Li Yuk-Lan, 21, house boy, was discharged, as the

prosecution offered no evidence.

The defendants were Yuen Lap-kwan, 29, unemployed,

Tsui Pak-ming, 30 clerk, Chien Chi-fong, 23, secretary, Sum

Kim-chow, 30, clerk, Ting Yuk-yan, 35, clerk, and Chau Sze,

25, unemployed.

They were remanded for a week.
