PARIS HOUSE OF TRAGEDY.

SEQUENCE OF VIOLENT DEATHS.

Montmartre, the haunt of the apache, has added one more thrif to its list of sinister attractions it now includes & house of tragedy for the visitor in search of local color

Since last month Paris guides have been conducting their clients to the Rue des Martyr, a placid- looking street which runs from Notre Dame de Lorette almost into the Place Pigalle, in the very heart of the famous, night life centre. Outside the house are to be see at any hour of the day and night clusters of people talking in whis pers and discussing the latest tragedy enacted within the build ing, making the fourth in the past

The man was caught on a tramcar. One of the charges against him was possession of a razor blade which could be used to cut people's pockets.

A second man who was in the company of the defendant was also convicted, but sentence was deferred owing to there being another charge against him of harbouring a young girl whose parents have been sent for from the country.

HAWKER ACCUSES HIS FOKL

W28

When a hawker was charged at the instance of the Captain Super. intendent of Police (the Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolle, C.M.G.) with attering cries in Wellington Street, he pleaded not guilty on the ground that is "foki the offender.

The C.S.P. agreed that it was the foti who did the shouting. He said that while walking down Welling ton Street he saw them carrying two baskets of fish and asked the man not to shout. This was appar- ently resented and further down the road the man shouted again aide and then disappeared up 21 lane.

On the defendant undertaking to produce his foki, he was fined $3.

THEFT AT THE L.R.C.

Two Chinese appeared on a charge of stealing vegetables from the garden at the Ladies' Recreation Club, the exhibits being two baskets full of ginger root, onions and lettuce.

Both defendants pleaded guilty, One of them, a banishee who had completed him term, was sentenced to fourteen days' hard labour with- out the option of a fine. The other was given the choice between a fine of 810 or fourteen days.

STOWAWAY STORIES.

Five Chinese were brought before Mr. W. Schofield at the Kowloon Magistracy for stowing away on board the s.s. Carmer from Binga.

pore.

Three of the men admitted the charge. Another stated that he lost his ticket and reported the loss to the compradore. The fifth man said that he was deported by the autho- rities in Singapore but had not seen his ticket. He had, however, already told the police, that he was given his ticket and $10, as travelling money by the authorities.

All the defendants were fined 825, with the option of three weeks' hard labour..

PIGS IN TEMPLE STREET.

Sanitary Inspector Sinton press ed for a severe penalty when charg ing a Chinese for keeping over 30 pigs at No. 71, Temple Street, Witness said without a permit. that he had warned the defendant on several occasions and the tem- porary business had been carried on for a long time.

The defendant said that the pigs were kept there temporarily and would have been transported to Hong Kong the following day.

The maximum fine of $60 was im- Rosed

several bird shops in the city on September 24th, and as a result of their activity, several summons were taken against the members of the shops. Fines ranging from 810 to

5 were imposed.

Java Sparrows And Puppies. The first summons was against the master of a bird shop in Des Vœux Road Central, who was said to have overcrowded a flock of Java sparrows housed in 18 cages, and also with being cruel to four puppies by keeping them in a faulty cage

and without water....

The birds were stated to be so overcrowded that they were forced to perch on each other's back, A number of them died as a result of close confinement.

As for the puppies it was said that the cage was constructed in such a way that the animals could The bars at the not stand up. bottom were so wide apart that the dogs' feet were protruding through the spaces. They also ap peared to have been deprived of water for a considerable period of time..

Defendant's excuse was "that the birds, being Java sparrows, were. timorous and would crowd round each other at the approach of a stranger.

Mr. G. S. Hugh Jones, for the

Society, said that the shop had been

warned on several occasions and he asked his Worship to take a serious view of the offence. Mr. Lindsell ned defendant $20 on each of the

summonses.

Similar Complaints. Similar complaints were lodged against another master of a bird shop at Hing Loong Street.

There were caged dogs which had been without water and a cageful of birds which had been overcrowd. ed to such an extent that several head ones were found. Defendant was fined $25 for overcrowding the birds and $10 for keeping the dogs without water.

To Give Them A Bath.

Ten cages of birds were also found in an overcrowded condition When the birds were taken out in a bird shop at Cochrane Strect.

several dead ones were found.

The master pleaded that he kept all the birds in the cage so as to give them all a bath by pouring water over them from the top of the tage.

Mr. Lindsell said that that was a novel way of bathing the birds. and he should think that would probably kill them all. Defendant had to pay $25.

# Never Drink Waler.". A visit paid to a poultry stall in Central Market resulted in the stall-holder being summoned for not giving water to some doves kept in a crate..

Defendant said that the birds were called pun kau, a specic of dove, and unlike pigeons, they did not drink water. All the liquid. they wanted was mixed with the food.

any of their sports meetings and concerts can testify. The forthcom ing meeting will, probably, be no exception, and apart from the rivalry for honours in the various events, it will, no doubt, provide plenty of amusement.

"There are no signs just now," account, of the he added, "on want of faith and courage on the part of the temperance forces of the country but the situation will have to be confronted before' very long."

The annual local option battle has just opened in Scotland. where the Temperance (Scotland) Act controls certain retail licence d ties. This year it is not expected that there will be more than twenty local veto polls.

Dealing with

temperance position in Scotland Mr. Scrym geour, who is organising secretary of the prohibition party, said:

In my view the temperance position is stuitified entirely, be Gause the Temperance (Scot land) Act is not acceptable to the Scottish people in general, The working people have a de cided objection to merely inter- commonly fering with what 15 called the public-house, while there is to a considerable extent a safeguarding of clubs, hotels, and wholesale facilities for people in better circumstances.

The only practical solution to the whole problem of liquor traf fic is, in our opinion, a demand for its total abolition. It is on these lines only that, we main tain, any progress can be made, and I emphatically declare that the main barrier to the attain- ment of prohibition in Britain is the unripeness of the temperance party themselves to face their professed goal.

I have reached the conclusion that so far as the rank and file are concerned in England and Wales, as well as Scotland, if the leaders of the religious bodies and temperance parties were' to
