The intruder gathered this and continued his search, and his ef forts resulted in his locating 500,- 000 German marks from one of thei drawers in the Superintendent's uffice.

With his booty, the thief made his way out again. Having an op- portunity of making a more therbugh search of the building he looked about for a likely place to hide what he had already stoler, planning to return as soon as possi-

hle.

For this purpose he crossed 4| narrow wooden plank which servi ed as a bridge from one side of the Cann to the other. Once an the other side, he deposited his booty in a place where it would not be found by any chance pas- ser-by and made his way back to The Tramway Company's office.

a Tramway Inspector, wanting to use the telephone in the Traffic Superintendent's Office, obtained the necessary key from the dinn watchman on duty and opened the adjoining Ticket Office deor.

TAIKOO CHINESE CLUB "AT HOME" TO EUROPEANS.

The members of the Taikoo Chinese Club gave an "At Home" yesterday evening to the European members of the staff of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, at which a number of prominent members of the firm were present, including Messrs. N. S. Brown, D. Templeton, K. E. Greig, J. H. Little, W. Ironside, W. J. Hill and many

others.

The purpose of the gathering WAR to bring together in closer friendly relations the members of the European and Chinese staffs and those present are firm in their opinion that that object was well accomplished.

The affair was quite informal, there being no efforts al speech making, the idea being to make the 250 guests thoroughly at home..
