SINGAPORE, December 3rd. Interesting evidence by Mr. J. A. Binck, Protector of Chinese, Singa pore, in a District Court case re vealed that the signs whereby the unlawful Triad Society members know each other are not greatly dis similar to those used by members of a much larger secret organisation, The case was one in which two Chinese were charged with being members of a Triad Society.
