MURDER AT SEA.

CHARGE AGAINST A JAPANESE.

News of a murder on the ss. Tands, whilst that vessel was at Faca on her way from Australia to Hongkong, was brought into port when the ship arrived here yes; terday. As a result, a Japanese passenger, whose name is given as Yamada, has been handed over to the police on à charge of com- mitting the crime.

A sequel to the affair was the appearance of the alleged assailant before Mr. Whyte Smith at the Kowicon Magistracy, late yesterday afternoon, when the capital charge was preferred against him. He gave his name as Yoriichi Hori, alias Yamada, and described him- self as an unemployed cook.

The name of the deceased was given as Fung San-sham,

Mr. H. Somerset Fitzroy, Publis Prosecutor, conducted the case for the, Crown.

Owing to the late hour when the case was mentioned, his Worship asked if it was worth taking any evidence, Mr. Fitzroy replying that there did not seem to be any of the witnesses present in court except Detective Inspector Dorling who would give evidence of arrest.

Mr. Fitzroy gave his Worship a brief resume of the incident and mentioned that the crime occurred at about 2.40 a.m. on May 5 when the s.8. Tanda was in Lat. 5.39 South and Long. 120.31 East, on the high seas.

His Worship: Whereabouts is that? Where is it near?

Mr. Fitzroy replied that it was before the ship arrived at Sandakan. There was no chart in Court to show the position, but one would be produced later.

His Worship remarked that the Crown should produce an Admiralty chart.

AIR TRAGEDY.

R.A.F. MECHANIC'S FATAL FALL.

As briefly reported by the Telegraph, a shocking tragedy, which has cast a deep gloom over the R.A.F. Aerodrome at Tai Tak, occurred yesterday morning, when Leading Aircraftsman A. J. Jarvis, attached to No. 440 Flight, fell; from a height of 200 feet from an ["aeroplanes whilst circling round the base, and was instantly killed.

It was at about twenty minutes to eleven yesterday morning, when. Loading Aircraftsman Jarvis, one of the most popular men at the Kai Tak Air Force base, entered the "Fairey" two-seater, with Lieut.: Garnett as pilot, and little did any- one watching their take-off think that in less than five minutes a terrible tragedy would be enacted before their eyes. The machine. drome and rise to a height of some was seen to plane round the aero- 200. feet. There was certainly no. indication that anything out of the ordinary was about to happen. The machine was behaving lu a normal manner, when, without the slightest warning, figure was seen to fall out of the rear cockpit. The body fell on the Eastern side of the landing ground, about three quar ters of a mile away from the hangars and matsheds. There was an instant rush to the 'spot, and upon arrival, the body of Leading Aircraftsman Jarvis was discover- Ведкор, the ed: Surgeon Lleut. Medical Officer of the Base, who was immediately on the spot, pro- nounced death to have been in- stantaneous,

As to the cause, of the accident," not the slightest indication can be given. The pilot, Lient. Garnett, was sitting in the front cockpit, with the deceased behind him, and he neither heard nor saw anything. and did not in fast know that the tragedy had taken place until & minute or 30 afterwards. The machine was flying quite normally as the time at a speed of between go and 90 m.p.h., and from examina. tion made both prior to, and after the unfortunate flight, there is not the slightest doubt that the air- craft and its engines were perfect- а ly in order.

Continuing, Mr. Fitzroy said that the accused appeared to have at- tacked a man named Fung Sau- sham, who was the No. 1 passenger cook. He had apparently attacked him with two weupons which were produced in court, one being butcher's knife and the other a tomahawk. Both these exhibits were covered with blood.

No Apparent Motive. One witness, the assistant cook, would tell the Court that he want into the cabin in which the No. 1 cook slept and found the door fastened. He eventually opened it and found the accused in the cabin covered with blood. The deceased was lying in the cabin badly wound-

Y.W.C.A. TEACHING FOR

FACTORY WORKERS.

There are forty girls now study ing in the four night classes at. the Y.W.C.A. centre, which are graded according to a four years primary course, each class with a teacher in charge.

The pupils are mostly amaha, ser- vants and mui-laai; they come to class once a week for study, some times relieved by a little recrea tion or a talk.

The Y.W.C.A. also has Educa- tional Work classes with another group of fifty women and girls, ranging in age from fourteen to forty years, who are learning to read and write the "One Thousand

Characters."

Most of these fifty women and girls are workers in stocking and candy factories, or do piece work at home. They pay a registration fee of one dollar at the beginning of the course, which is' refunded. when they complete the course, or have not been absent from class more than five evenings.

The teacher is a young woman who had had normal school train- ing and has been working with the Y.W.G.A. for three years.

This valuable service is render- ed at a remarkably, small cost. since, through courtesy of the Church Missionary Society no rent is involved.

the lack of funds.
