Mr. Sidney Jones, a member of n firm of accountants, of Water- line. E.C., said when Mr. Castle died the estate was insolvent. There was £400 in book debts and an arrangement was made for the payment of 48. in the £.

The firm owed just over £2,000, but the book debts realised only £70.

On May 10-four days before her death-Mrs. Castle received what was called a "chain" letter.

Such letters, said Mr. Jones, would have a damaging effect on a woman like Mrs. Castle. He

had received one like it that mor- ning. They were objectless let- ters, and did not ask for money.

The "Chain" Letter.

Mr. Ingleby Oddie, the coroner, read the "chain" letter which

ran?

"Flanders Chain of Good Luck. This was sent to me, and I send it to you within 24 hours so that the chain will not be broken.

"Make three copies, and send to people whom you know, to wish good-luck.

"This chain was started by an officer. It goes round the world three times. Do not stop.

"On the fourth day after receiv- ing it good luck will befall you."

The letter went on to say that if Mrs. Castle kept the letter she would have bad luck.

Mr. Oddie, commenting on what he described as "this ridiculous chain letter," said, "I daresay it worried the woman at a time when she could not stand more worry, and she took her life."

On the couch in her room Mrs. Castle had left a letter addressed

The R. C. were equally effective after the change over, and Lawrence, Remedios, Zimmera and Roza Pereira kept up their fusillade. They added another eight goals. The only chance of scoring that the Battery had was an easy one, but they muddled it.

Somersets and the Royal Artillery played the second division game that was postponed last Monday. The Artillery scored one goal in the first half, but the Somersets put four on in the second in quick succession, and

The complexity of the problem was discussed by Mr. John Flet cher, hospitality secretary of the

Society of Friends, in an Inter

view.

"The almost tragic Irony of the thing," he said, "is the fact that the missionary societies of Britain are spending millions of pounds every year teaching the coloured races the gospel that, in the sight of God, all men are equal.

Snobbish Rebuf. "What happens when they come to the country whence this gospel comes? It is next door to im- possible to find an hotel in which to lodge them, and whether they be humble student or eminent savant, they are met with a de- gree of snobbish rebuff and al times open hostility by thorough- going Christians who perhaps give sizeable sums every year to deliver the heathen from pagan

"I have circularised hundreds of hotels in London to see whether they will allow coloured people to stay there, and I should say that negroes are barred from 95 per cent., Indians from 75 per cent. Chinese from 50 per cent., and Japanese from 40 per cent.

Few of the hotels will give any reason, while others say their other guests might object, and many of them blame American visitors for objections.".

Dr. Harold Moody, a native of Jamaica, who holds a high place in the medical world, told of the position of coloured students try- ing to enter the medical profes sion.
