THE NIGHT OF JUNE 12

TROUBLE IN A KOWLOON FLAT

EUROPEANS SUMMONED FOR

ASSAULT

I am not compelled to find whether one party is telling the truth and the others telling lies. All I am compelled to do is to find whether Mr. North has made out is case or not. In this connection I am not satisfied with his story, and therefore I do not think he has made out the case against the three defendants," said Mr. H. R. Butters at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday when he dismissed the summons for assault "brought by Mr. Charles North, proprietor of the David Cafe, against David Gabruiler, I.

On the afternoon of Derby Day, for example, while the Imperial Airways Hannibal" was flying along the section of the India air route between Baghdad and Basra, the operator heard the wireless mes- sage from England which was flash- ing round the world the result of the classic horse race which had just been run on Epsom Downs,

Thus the pasangers in the machine, although they were high in the air at the moment above a stretch of desert, learned the result of the Derby within a minute or so of the winner having passed the post

On another occasion recently, while an air-liner was in flight over the Africa route. its operator sue- ceeded in writing down accurate items of news from R Bulletin which was being broadcast from a Ground Station in Florida.
