Mr. D. Y. Perkins, senior partner in the Straits legal firm of Messrs. Drew and Napier, has recently retired from the Colony after a residence of 21 years. He had been an unofficial member of the Legislative Council of the Colony since 1918. In 1910 Mr. Perkins married, in Singapore, the second daughter of the late Sir John Anderson, then Governor of the Straits Settlements. In social circles both Mr. and Mrs. D. Y. Perkins have held a high place in the colony and they will be greatly missed.\n\nLiving costs in Tokyo, highest of any city in the world, are the real cause of the closing of the Rumanian Legation here this month, according to the Hochi. The Rumanian Minister, his First Secretary and Military Attaché have received instructions to close the Legation temporarily and are making preparations to sail for home within the next few weeks. According to the newspaper, the appropriation for the maintenance of a Legation in Tokyo felt justified by Rumania has not proved sufficient to meet present price levels.\n\nAccording to Japanese native papers, the officials of the Yokohama Dockyard Co. have decided to wait until the pinch of want drives the workmen who are now on strike back to their jobs. The officials seem confident that this will come about before long. The strikers are selling bread and groceries to raise strike funds and declare they are able to carry on the struggle for at least six months. All the repair works in the docks has been entrusted to other companies, with the exception of that on the Kaga and the Kamo, which is almost complete.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS\n\nThe British Legation Chapel in Peking was the scene of a pretty wedding on the 7th inst., when Mrs. Belcher, widow of the late Major F. P. Belcher, R.A.F., was married to Mr. E. C. Mieville, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Mieville of London. The bride was given away by Sir Beilby Alston, H. M. Minister, Lady Alston acting as proxy for her mother, and Mr. L. N. Mackinnon, of Tientsin, was best man. Following the ceremony, the guests assembled at Sir Beilby Alston's house to tender their congratulations. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Mieville left for Tientsin, where the first portion of the honeymoon is being spent.\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nThe Czecho-Slovak Republic has conferred on Temp. Lt.-Colonel John Ward, C.B., C.M.G., the Croix de Guerre.\n\nMr. Charles Henry Wailar, a visitor staying at the Peak Hotel, suddenly died on March 22nd from heart failure. The deceased arrived here last week from Bombay.\n\n\"Assaulting the police appears to be a favourite occupation now-a-days,\" said Mr. Lindsel, at the Magistracy, on March 21st, in sentencing a man to six weeks' imprisonment for an attack on a Chinese constable.\n\nIt is announced that Messrs. Dodwell & Co., Ltd., have been appointed agents of the London Liverpool & Globe Insurance Co., Ltd., for Hongkong and Canton, and that the present branch offices of the Company in Hongkong and Canton will be closed from 1st April.\n\nLt. Col. F. S. Penny, R.A.M.C., who, as a major, has recently been promoted to colonel. He served as an assistant-director of medical services in the late war, winning the C.M.G. and D.S.O., and had previous field service in South Africa.\n\n[March 5th, 1929.]\n\nFour armed men entered a house in Shanghai Street about 9.30 at night on March 22nd. Having driven the inmates into a cubicle, they robbed the house at their pleasure, stealing $59 worth of jewellery and $104 in cash.\n\nThere was quite a lively scene in Yau Ma Tei the other night, when a mob of Chinese surrounded the police station crying for vengeance upon an Indian constable.\n\nAs far as could be gathered, it was alleged that the constable, who was off duty, had assaulted a Chinese. Quiet was not restored until a considerable force of police had been marched to the scene by Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse and Mr. T. H. King. A baton charge dispersed the mob which numbered some hundreds.\n\nLady Stubbs opened a small bazaar held on March 20th in the Church Hall of St. Andrew's, Kowloon, in aid of the Mission Hospital at Yunnanfu and St. Dunstan's Home for Blinded Soldiers. H.E. Sir John Fowler, K.C.M.G., C.B., presided at the opening ceremony. Instructive missionary exhibits were on view and kinematograph films were shown during the evening also illustrative of missionary work. A large number of helpers contributed efforts to make the affair a success.\n\nMr. O. T. Breakspear, manager of the Publicity Bureau for South China, is leaving for Home by the City of Simla towards the end of the present month. The work of the Bureau will be carried on by Capt. A. G. McClay, who has recently arrived. During the past three years Mr. Breakspear has been the Hon. Corresponding Secretary for the Overseas Club in the Colony, and Mr. Eric Rice has consented to take over these duties in the meantime.\n\nUnder the title of labour organizations before the war, the Government Bureau of Economic Information publishes a list of 47 bodies. The workers who are so organized include labourers, cooks, employees of vegetable shops, printers, seamen, mechanics, warehouse coolies, girl hosiery makers, weavers, blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, laundrymen, tailors, barbers and shoemakers. The list also includes a ricksha coolies association, but a note explains that this has been organized by the managers of ricksha concerns and has no relation with the coolies at all.\n\nShanghai residents, and perhaps the Shanghai police, who were startled some weeks ago by the killing of a Korean in broad day in a public thoroughfare (says the Peking correspondent of the N.-C. Daily News) may be interested to know that the victim was not named Yang, as then reported, but was the more or less notorious Kim Lip, an agent of the Irkutsk bureau for the dissemination of Communist propaganda among Oriental peoples, who came to Peking last summer with Russian gold to the value of $400,000 and resided for some time at various road houses in the Western Hills.\n\nThe inevitable has happened. Costs are rising as a consequence of the strike. By advertisement this week the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., Ltd., and Holt's Wharf announce that from the 1st of next month the charges for landing, shipping and storing cargo will be increased by 10 per cent., owing to the increased cost of working and maintenance.\n\n56\n\nMr. William Yinson Lee, a prominent merchant of Sydney, arrived last week by the s.s. Arafura on a business trip to Hongkong and South China. During the recent visit of the Prince of Wales to Australia Mr. Yinson Lee had the honour of presenting the address of welcome from the Chinese community of all the States of the Commonwealth to His Royal Highness.\n\nThe health return for the week records 15 cases of plague (all Chinese excepting one Portuguese case). Eleven of the Chinese cases proved fatal. There were also three fatal cases of small-pox (Chinese); two non-fatal enteric and paratyphoid fever; and one non-fatal case of scarlet fever (British) and one of relapsing fever. Influenza accounted for two deaths during the week.\n\nA rice merchant was attacked by four men, whilst riding in his private ricksha on March 16th, and robbed of $146. The attack took place at the junction of Wilmer Street with Des Voeux Road. One of the men threw pepper in his victim's face, and the others dragged him out of the ricksha. A wallet containing a quantity of notes was stolen. An attempt by one of the men to snatch his gold watch and chain failed. The robbers disappeared when the merchant blew his police whistle.\n\nAmong the passengers who left the Colony by the Andre Lebon were M. Reau, the French Consul-General, who, we understand, will not be returning to Hongkong. M. Reau's departure is much regretted by the French community and many friends of other nationalities. Other well-known French residents of the Colony who left by the French mail steamer for France with no intention of returning were M. and Madame Lecab'e. As agent of the Société des Charbonnages du Tonkin M. Lecab'e had resided in the Colony for some years and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. M. and Madame Lecable intend to settle in France.\n\nA clipping from a home paper has now been received giving further details of the tragedy which occurred at Gibraltar.\n\nA serious collision occurred on Praya East on March 18th. Two motor cars, which were meeting one another, were about to pass, opposite Wai Wo's yard. At that point, also, two or three rickshas were proceeding westwards. The driver of the west-bound motor car (which belonged to the Dragon Garage) misjudged the available space and caught one of the rickshas full in the back. The occupant, Mr. H. Gelling, of the Daily Press, was hurled by the force of the impact a distance of some yards and narrowly escaped crushing his head against a verandah pillar, which was only missed by inches. As it was, he sustained many severe contusions and is now under treatment by Dr. Dalmahoy Allan. The ricksha coolie was hurt about the head and the ricksha is a wreck.\n\nThe names of a special jury were called for the Praya murder trial at the Criminal Sessions on March 20th. Later Mr. W. S. Bailey arrived in Court and explained to the Chief Justice that pressure of work had caused him to overlook the matter; he was very sorry. The Judge said it was a very serious matter. In consequence of Mr. Bailey's absence another gentleman had to serve in his place. The Chief Justice added that he could see no possible excuse whatever and Mr. Bailey would be fined $50.\n\nA report states: \"Dr. Lovell Moss, who has a medical practice here, was returning by motor-car from a dance to his residence at Algeciras, accompanied by his wife and sister-in-law and chauffeur and assistant chauffeur, when he was caught in the chains at a level crossing on the Andulaces Railway at Los Barrios, and almost simultaneously run into by a troop train. Mrs. Moss and the two chauffeurs were killed on the spot, while the doctor and his sister-in-law were conveyed to a hospital here, where they are lying in a critical condition.\" News has since been received in Shanghai that Miss Molloy died the day after the accident and Dr. Moss the day following.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 500451, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-489 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12]", "page_number": 162, "title": "CO129-489 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12]", "content_text": "# South China Morning Post\n## No. 5,765 Vol. 23 號五十六百七千五第 三拜禮\n### WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1925. 日六十二月八年四十國民\n\nCAFE WISEMAN \n**BREAD, CAKES, ETC.** \nCan now be Booked.\n\n## Advertisements\n\n### WATSON'S \n**AERATED WATERS** \nARE PREPARED FROM REAL FRUIT ESSENCE \nGUARANTEED ABSOLUTELY PURE.\n\n- LEMONADE - Has the real essence obtained from Lemons grown in Southern Italy\n- RASPBERRYADE - Is prepared with the juice of raspberries grown in England and Tasmania.\n- FORMAZONE - THE NON-ALCOHOLIC CHAMPAGNE.

Tipliteli, a Ukranian, has now been rescinded, and permission has been given him to remain in the Colony.\n\nThe plucky act of two civilians in effecting the arrest of two men subsequent to the commission of an armed robbery on the 21st of April recalled yesterday, when a presentation was made to them at the office of the Captain Superintendent of Police. Amongst those present at the ceremony were Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse, C.I.E., who made the presentation, Mr. T. H. King (Director of Criminal Intelligence), Mr. D. Burlingham (Deputy Superintendent of Police), Mr. L. H. V. Booth (Assistant Director of the Criminal Intelligence Department), Mr. W. R. Scott (Assistant Superintendent), Mr. J. Kerr (Assistant Superintendent), and Mr. W. Kent (Chief Inspector).\n\nMr. P. P. J. Wodehouse said: \"Gentlemen, I have been instructed by His Excellency the Governor to make a small presentation to Mr. Focken and Mr. Li Chi-kong to show the appreciation of the Government of their services in arresting two armed robbers on the 21st April.\"\n\nIt will be recalled that Tipliteli was first charged with not being in possession of a proper passport, and a nominal fine was inflicted on this charge. The police, however, took a more serious view of the man's case, as he was supposed to have been identified by a Frenchman as having been connected with \"Red\" activities in Canton and as one who took a leading part in organising and conducting a strike of servants on Shameen. In consequence, the man's expulsion from the Colony was asked for, and a magisterial order to this effect was made.\n\nFrom facts which have since been disclosed, however, the case turns out to have been one of mistaken identity, with the result that the expulsion order has been withdrawn.\n\nThe official account of the circumstances of this incident was then read by the C.S.P. as follows: \"Mr. Frederick John William Focken, of Messrs. Alex. Ross and Company, with his assistant, Mr. Li Chi-kong, happened to be on the point of alighting from a motor bus outside the China Motor Bus Company's premises when they heard police whistles being blown some distance down the road, which a good view could be obtained from a temple near by.\n\nMr. Focken's attention was drawn to a man who was riding in a ricksha going in the direction of the railway bridge some three hundred yards away. Mr. Focken boarded a passing bus, and, alighting when the bus was passing the ricksha, seized this man also, and, with the help of a by-stander, handed him over to two Indian constables.\n\nThe motor-car then went to the village and eventually he and Dr. Howard, with the Russian boy and the Chinese boy, stationed themselves in a cornfield, whilst Mr. Baldwin, young Howard, and another Russian who had appeared on the scene took cover in a motor-car as the bandits approached.\n\nMajor Palmer, however, insisted on leaving the car and going back to the ranch. Armed with rifles and ammunition, the party, which besides Major Palmer and Dr. Howard, included the latter's son, a Chinese boy, and a Russian boy, and a Russian chauffeur, went in a motor-car driven by the Russian chauffeur, to a village about half-way between the ranch and the village occupied by the bandits.\n\nBandits' Circling Movement.\n\nThe bandits, who were mounted, moved out from the village in two parties, one making for the cornfield, while the other made for the motor-car. Mr. Baldwin, young Howard, and the Russian made a running fight for it back to the ranch, firing from the footboard as they went, and eventually eluded their pursuers.\n\nMeanwhile, the rest of the bandits had come up towards the cornfield from the rear. Mr. Baldwin had made efforts to warn Major Palmer and Dr. Howard as to what was happening and the bandits' circling movement.\n\nMajor Palmer Found.\n\nSome time after Mr. Baldwin and the others had returned to the ranch, a messenger arrived from the bandits demanding money and cartridges. Mr. Baldwin hurriedly scraped together what money and cartridges could be found at the ranch and went down with it to the bandits' village, only to discover that they had all gone off, taking Dr. Howard with them.\n\nDr. Howard's Captivity.\n\nIt is reported that the bandits have now taken Dr. Howard across the Sungari Railway Bridge. Mr. Baldwin, who is stated to have endeavoured to persuade Major Palmer to leave the bandit alone, is at present at Fuchowhsien, some 400 miles from Harbin, making every effort to keep in touch with the captive and secure his speedy release. Reuter's Pacific Service.\n\nThe murder by Chinese bandits on July 20 of Major Morgan Palmer reminds us that from the first organising of the Salt Revenue Administration by Sir Richard Dane, he was one of his chief's most trusted and honoured assistants, and was instrumental not a little in the great success of the Administration.\n\nSome time after Mr. Baldwin and the others had returned to the ranch, a search was then carried out in the cornfield and the discovery made of the dead bodies of Major Palmer and his Chinese boy, who were later buried, as they had fallen, side by side under a big oak tree at the ranch.\n\nAt the May Criminal Sessions, the first and third defendants were each sentenced to five years' hard labour. The second defendant, who was too ill to appear, will take his trial at the coming Sessions.\n\nHis Honour the Chief Justice paid a tribute to Major Palmer, saying that he was a quiet unassuming man and an excellent Chinese scholar, who won the confidence of all with whom he had official relations. He was very greatly respected and trusted by the various Chinese rulers and particularly by Marshal Chang Tao-lin.\n\nNational Chinese Trait.\n\nThe C.S.P. went on to say that Mr. Focken's name was now added to the long list of European civilians and Service men who had rendered valuable assistance to the police, whereas on the other hand, if crimes of violence were committed in crowded thoroughfares without anyone lifting finger to prevent or help in the arrest of the culprits, as often occurred in the great cities of Europe and America, a hue-and-cry would have been immediately raised.\n\nMr. Li was presented with a cheque. Mr. Focken was presented with a silver cigarette case which bears the following inscription: \"Presented to Mr. F. W. Focken by the Hongkong Government in appreciation of public services, April 21st, 1925.\"\n\n## Advertisements\n\n### LAZARUS \n**HONGKONG'S ONLY EUROPEAN OPTICIAN** \nHighest Qualification, Modern Sight Testing Equipment Prompt Repair Service. \nBranches:- \nLONDON, SHANGHAI, HONGKONG. \n[12, Queen's Road, Central]\n\n### The Franki Compressed Concrete Piling System for Foundations.\nNo. 1 Outfit - H.M.

When later on I was asked to inspect some sample labels I had hope that action was about to be taken. On enquiry as to why nothing further had been done, information is given me that this very necessary work has now been cancelled, or at any rate postponed. It is inconceivable that the few thousand dollars involved would embarrass the Government, and I would ask that this work be proceeded with. Perhaps the twelve thousand dollars to be spent on the Geological Survey could be utilized for this purpose.\n\nIt is satisfactory to note that money is to be spent on more efficient lighting throughout the Colony, and it is to be hoped this work will be carried out without delay. Whilst on the subject of lighting may I suggest that the big banyan trees in Nathan Road be removed and replaced by small and more suitable trees. The cutting down of any trees is to be deprecated unless absolutely necessary, but these banyan trees, fine though they are in themselves, are unsuitable for lining roads. They grow too quickly and their roots spread too widely. The trees in question have grown to such an extent that they meet in the middle and entirely hide some of the street lamps. Moreover, they encroach to a considerable extent on the roadway.\n\nNo item appears to be allotted to the improvement of the road to Taipo, where there are several bridges which are positively dangerous to motor traffic. Let us hope no serious accident occurs before these bridges are widened and the approaches improved.\n\n## SANITARY DEPARTMENT\n\nOn many occasions the Unofficials of this Council have urged the adoption of refuse destructors, and I am glad to hear my honourable Colleagues pressing the matter again. We have been told in the past that these contrivances are not suitable for Hongkong. You will pardon me, Sir, if I say that answer does not satisfy me. I have it on good authority that these destructors are used to very good purpose elsewhere, and should give them a trial. Mechanical contrivances of all description should be employed where possible so as to eliminate the human element as much as possible.\n\nI am afraid, Sir, that none of my remarks suggest retrenchment, my excuse being that I cannot see that the financial situation is such as to necessitate applying the axe to works which are urgently required. In your Budget speech last year, Sir, you stated that you saw no necessity to maintain our balance at a higher figure than five million dollars. Our estimated balance at the end of this year is five million three hundred and fifty-five thousand. The maxim of cutting one's coat according to the cloth in hand is sound provided there is no more cloth available. This, however, does not appear to me to be the case. It is my opinion that the new assessment of the Colony, if efficiently carried out, will produce a bigger increase than has been allowed for.\n\nLand sales is admittedly a difficult item to estimate, but with trade resumed I believe there will be fresh application for land coming in almost immediately. This Colony has been foully struck below the belt, but we have not been \"knocked out\" nearly so, and, therefore, it would seem there is no reason to display ourselves in garments too small for us.\n\n## THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL\n\nSir, I should like to make a few remarks on the subject of education in this Council. Perhaps in the recent Bolshevik campaign, which has been engineered from Canton, and perhaps it would be more accurate to say from Moscow, nothing has more annoyed old residents, who have a real affection for this Colony and a firm belief in British fairplay, than the lying campaign of calumny which has misrepresented the British officials and the British business men of this Colony as riding roughshod over the rights of the Chinese and brutally, or imperialistically, for that is the favourite word used—riding roughshod also over the rights of the Chinese here. Nothing could possibly be further from the truth. On the contrary, the record of this Colony is one of sympathetic Government by three generations of hardworking officials of the highest Integrity, and of friendly intercourse of three generations of British business firms with the Chinese in this Colony.\n\n### SANCTUARY FOR CHINESE\n\nThe wonderful prosperity which this Colony has attained and the manner in which Chinese have flocked here to do business, is a sufficient refutation of the gross slanders to which I have referred. Some years ago a former Land Officer of this Colony estimated that the Chinese owned fifteen-sixteenths of the landed property in this Colony, and it is a well-known fact that their large land-owning still continues and also that they are the owners of a large proportion of the shares in our public companies. We have also the curious fact that the wives and families of some of the officials in Canton, who are now working against us, are actually receiving sanctuary here in our midst in this so-called imperialistic British Colony.\n\n### STRIKING COMPARISONS\n\nI have in my hand a despatch of a former Governor, Sir William Des Voeux, dated October 31st, 1889, reporting to the then Secretary of State for the Colonies, on the condition and prospects of Hongkong, and in that despatch he points out with pride that our revenue for 1888—one and a half million dollars—was larger than in any former year. In 1924 our revenue was about 24 million dollars. Another item which Governor Des Voeux mentions is land sale receipts which amounted to $160,000 as against nearly three million dollars received in 1923. The population for 1888 he mentions as 160,000. Before the commencement of the recent unrest it was probably about 800,000.\n\n### A WONDERFUL TRANSFORMATION\n\nIn the concluding paragraph of his despatch, Sir William Des Voeux pointed out the wonderful transformation since we took over in 1840 of Hongkong from \"a bare rock, with a fisherman's hut here and there\" to \"a wonderful and busy and prosperous shipping port.\" In the last paragraph of his despatch he says as follows:-\n\n\"Hongkong has indeed changed its aspect; and when it is remembered that all this has been affected in Her Majesty's reign and indeed during a space of less than fifty years on ground in immediate contact with the most populous Empire in the world, by a comparatively infinitesimal number of an entirely alien race separated from their Homes by nearly the whole earth, and, unlike their countrymen in Australia and Canada, living in an enervating and trying climate; and when it is further remembered that the Chinese, whose labour and enterprise under British auspices have largely assisted in this development, have been under no compulsion, but have come here as free men, attracted by liberal institutions, equitable treatment, and the justice of our rule; and when all this is taken into account, it may be doubted whether the evidence of material and moral achievement, presented as it were in a focus, make anywhere a more forcible appeal to eye and imagination, and whether any other spot on the earth is thus more likely to excite, or more fully justifies pride in the name of Englishman.\"\n\n### THE TASK FOR THE SCHOOLS\n\nThe point that I wish to make now is that the Hongkong Government ought to make it its business to teach in its schools and in the University, the wonderful growth and prosperity of this Colony, owing to its liberal institutions, its equitable treatment of, and justice to, all races, and, starting onward from Governor Des Voeux's despatch to the...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-489 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 500697, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-489 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12]", "page_number": 409, "title": "CO129-489 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12]", "content_text": "to be the case.
