COCAINE CULTIVATION IN FORMOSA.

OVER 800 ACRES PLANTED.

اهینین

The Turiwan Shimbun (Formosa) recently, |published an article: ? na the cultivation of cocaine in Formosa, A Paking dispatch gives the following translation, of the article, from which it will be seen thai Japan seems determined to keep up har reputation for the supply of deleterions drugi. The reference to the fine field for the sale of the drug in China is signi- Senat:

At first when the importation of cocaine was cut off during the war it was very generally remarked that Formona was suited for the preparation of the trees from which cocaine is derived, and that ener mous profits could be got from planting the trees and manufacturing the cocaïne.

Lator, there were a great many in differ- cut parts of the island who planted trees by way of experiment, but as in the majority of cases it was nothing more than an experiment, only a nominally successful result, was obtained. It was not definitely shown whether it copid be carried on an a business with the curtainty of profits.

The Tainan branch of the Abe Shoten, however, having applied for and obtained a permit for the purchase of about 720 acres in Chikushi-Mön, Kagi Prefecture, planted over 150 acres about two or three years ago. During the past year 380 addi. tional acres have been planted and the manufacture of cocaine has commenced.

The result has been better than antici pated. A yield of about 12 pounds of cocaine is obtained from the leaves of the trees on ons, acre of land; Formerly Ger. mpoy had a kiddogoly of the manufacture, :| and supplies were entirely stopped. The price rasa accordingly, to more than 8150 a pound. And there still will be no declive from this price until the productive capa- city of Germany is restored;"

"Bince the use of opium was forbidden in China, an inclination has developed to substitute cocaine for it, so that the pros- pects for cocaine will henceforward be all the brighter. As an industry for Formosa it is evidently one that will be extremely profitable. At any rate, it-is considered a matter for congratulation that Formosa has this year for the Erst time" obtained a yield of 49 poundin of cocaine to the acre.

HOUSE OF LORDS AS BUSINESS PREMISES.

REVELATIONĘ IN FRAUD CHARGE.

w

Mr. Justice Darling expressed surprise at the Old Briey, London, during the bearing of a case recently at the state" ment by counne that the House of Lords had been used as business premises by the men in the conspiracy case, who were charged with obtaining £10,000 by false pretences. The accused were Charlos Hessä: 34. William Chant, al, and · Joseph Fletcher, S

Counsel said that Hease and Fletcher ¦ bad represented that they had contracted with the Government to purchase "300,000 yards of gabardine, for which a deposit of 210,000 had been paid. They engaged to rewell the clothing to an East. End woolen merchant, and obtained from him two sums of £50000. As a matter of fact, said counsel, they never had any much a tract with the Government, and no cloth was delivered.

Hease had no business premises, but be, "selected, the House of Lords, the advantage' being, said counsel, that he had no rent to pay whilst another possible advant was that do references were (Laughter.) "People attended - there to transact business with him, and he also took his meals there. He was to be found? in the bar, in the dining room and in the smoking room, and he made himself quite nt home. (Laughter.),

Mr. Justice Darling: What! In the House of Lorda?

Counsel: Yes, and in the House of Com. mons, As

Counsel went on to say that Heavo-help- ed himself liberally to the notepaper, in the House of Lords, and the also, used the notepaper" of the House of Commons. Fletcher was also to be found frequently in the House of Lords. Chant was a solicitor's clerk, but for the purposes of that case the other defendanta promoted him to be a solicitor.
