REPORT ON MUI TSAI IN COLONY
MAN SHOT BY CONSTABLE
Resisted Arrest" After Dispute Over Cent Worth Of Cigarettes!
"I heard a gun shot. Shortly after. I heard two more in quick succession," sald Leung Hồ A shop fok, in the witness, stand at yes- terday's resumed inquest, held at the Kowloon Magistracy, in con- nection with the death from gun wounds of a man named Ho Pan on November 13.
"
The deceased man was said to have struggled with a police officer while resisting arrest, and was al- leged to have used a chopper on the constable in endeavouring to escape.
On November 13 a stranger went
21 at an intertainment sponsored into a cigarette shop at No. 857, Canton Road to purchase one cent by the
worth of cigarettes.. He took four cigarettes as he tendered his copper but was told by the shopkeeper that he had taken two too many. A quarrel then followed and the man left the place dissatisfied. A short while after he returned with two men and created a disturbance in the cigarette shop. The hus- band of the shopkeeper arrived later and attempted to settle the the man dispute by agreeing to taking tour cigarettes. This offer did not satisfy the three men, and a struggle ensued.
Police assistance was then sum- mened and deceased struggled "with the constable and resisted
arrest.

An American surgeon, Dr. LB. Grentree, volunteered his services to the Committee, and is now working in a Red Cross hospital in Shanghal.
To all who have so generously helped us by gifts of money or material we are wholeheartedly grateful, but the need is so urgent and so wast that if our work is to continue there must be more and yet more money.
I have already told you that one of our declared objects is to main- tain at least one Red Cross Unit In the field.

To that we are committed: in that undertaking we must not fail, but one unit involves a monthly expenditure of $1,200, and who can say for how many months we are pledged to contribute that amount? Every one of you may rest assured that every cent we get is wisely spent to the best advan- tage.
