STOLEN BUS TICKETS.
SLACK SUPERVISION.
That there was a moral differ- ence between imprisonnent at Home and incarceration in Hong- kong was commented upon by Mr. J. H. B. NIKI at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday when two bus conductors were convicted on a charge of larceny of 816 bus tickets, the property of the Kaf Tack Motor, Bus Company.
Mr. F. H. Loseby, represented the second defendant, a 16-year- old Chinese..
Mr. Loseby pleaded guilty and in extenuation, said that the theft was merely temptation and required no akill to commit. The tickets could easily be taken from the premises. Mr. Loneby asked his Worship to believe that the boy was led astray by his elders. The first defendant who was un- represented also pleaded guilty.
Inspector Phillips, said that since "the arrest of the defendants six other bus conductors had abscond ed from the Company. Referring to Mr. Loseby's statement that the tickets could easily be taken from the office, the inspector said that he had inspected the premises and agreed with what the solici- tor had said. He himself could have taken any number of tickets from the office without any of the employees knowing.
When asked if the manager was present, his Worship was told that The had not come to Court, but had. sent a clerk to prosecute on be- half of the Company.
Speaking to the clerk his Wor- the mana- ship asked why
gar had not come to Court and was told that the dlerk had been sent because he knew more of the case than the manager and also, that the latter was busy yesterday morning.
His Worship: In fact he does not manage the company. You are the person who is responsible. for this extraordinarily slack. supervision,
His Worship imposed sentence of one month's hard labour each. Mr. Loseby applied for the in- fliction of a Ane in the case of the second defendant. who he said and the was only 15 years old prison sentence would tend make him a criminal.
to
His Worship said that he did not see how he could differentiate be- tween the two prisoners.
Mr. Loseby said that there was a difference of five years between the two men. Youthful delin- quents at Home were invariably bound over, and he thought that the few days he had been under arrest would be a sufficient-lesson to him.
His Worship said the punishment was to prevent a similar occur- rence. If he passed over this case, it would not be a deterrant at all. the He 37mpthised with defendant but said he Was afraid that he could not alter the sentence and it would have stand.

Rugby, Dec. 10. Eight hundred thousand miners. are now at work, and if the "de- mand for coal is increased as a result of further price reductions, considerably more men will be em- ployed, and permanent unemploy- ment among miners as a result of the stoppage will be much less than had been feared.

CHINA'S SECURITIES.
MR. LOCKER LAMPSON'S STATEMENT QUESTIONED.
Peking, Dec. 10, Mr. Locker Lampson's statement In the House of Commons that the Customs revenue as the only source whereon, British capital loaned to China was secured, caused considerable surprise in financial circles where it is point- ed out that the Anglo-French and Crisp loans are entirely secured' on salt, and Hukuangs half on salt; while the 1913 reorganisation loan. is theoretically also secured on aalt though mot from the customs revenue in recent years.-Router.
