The cortege included Ministers of the Provisional Govern- ment, members of the Dail, bareheaded men and women, many crying, while the rear was brought up by an armoured car bristling with rifles beld at all angles. A grim reminder of the presence of Irregulars in the neighbourhood was afforded by the distant crack of snipers' firing. The body is now lying in state at the C Hall, whence it will be removed on Friday to the Cathedral for the funeral at Glasnevin on Monday.

The Telephone Bluff.

Sir-With regard to Mr. Parker Ness reply to the report of the Committee on the Telephone ques

tion, I see be states that the true ¡rapital has risen until it is now

120,000. On this 12 per cent is) to be paid; and i wonder whether the public realles that by fore deal the market value of the Telephone Company's shares, assuming & return of 8 per cent was consideredi | the normal turket rate, where moj

attaches to the capital invested. would really be increased to 54299,-

*12

Bearing in mind the fact the original that £14,501 was capital put into the basmess, the additional 127,000 being in the bas tufe of boons shares, this represents at apprentiation in the shares of

It is not a matter) (2.7 per cent.

for surprise that Mr. Parker Ness je bring so strenuously to turn the Jocal Telephone Company int a gold mine for the bolding Company in Luarios.

Further, i. as Mr. Parker Ness says, the true capital - 52807,000, and that the protits earned over and labore the dividends paid were put

into the busines, then it const bej manifestly clear that the rates presiously paid by the subscribers must have been excessive, peeing that the Company's initial capital of £1,71 bas been increased" by $25,000 out of accumulated Reserve, and that further sums have been added to Reserve, wbieb, with the entry forward," DOW amounts to £66,000.

The subscribers therefore appear| to have had a very large share in building up the Company, but sp. parently they are to benefit not at all by this, but on the contrars Mr. Parker Ness has the brazen. Bess to propose that they should. be mulcted for it by a stroke of the pen," as the Committee aptly describe it, by demanding 12 per cent on an unrealised accretion of £125,000, in addition to ample allowances for depreciation and reserves.

Mr. Parker News must have a very poor opinion of the intelli- gence of the Hongkong community if he thinks he can get away with his gigantic bluff.-Yours etc.. POKER PLAYER. Hoogkung, 24th August, 1922.
