Defending policitor went on to say that Inspector Hughes had admitted that he did not know the name of the occupier at the time, but that he knew it on June 1 and took out a summons.

Inspector Hughes said it was quite true, remarking that he only knew the name by deducing it from a letter. That was irrelev ant, however. His Worship re minded the Inspector that he had applied for an adjournment at the call last hearing in order to further evidence.

Inspector. Hughes replied" that he had shown the letter to head- quarters and it had been held to be irrelevant. Therefore, he did not wish to call further evidence. Explaining the summons position, he said the lavatory in question was used by more than one person:

London, Juno 28

On his return from his world tour, Sir Arthur Yapp said he was tremendously impressed with the development of the Far East espe cially Japan. He said It was an object lesson to see the up-to-date ness of cities like Shang hat and Tokio. They were ahead of us as infinitely regards electrical development, while it was more gratifying to note the intense thirst for low- ledge by the young.

Sir Arthur added his admira- tion of Japanese knowledge. He endorsed the brilliant medical man "who told me Japan was better, Berved regarding research work than Britali, America and Ger- many put together."--Reuter
