CAUGHT WITH BOWL.

With the arrest of Ho Tack-(25), yesterday, the police believe they have the burglar responsible for a series of thefts at Kennedy Road in their hands.

The prisoner was charged before Mr. Butters this morning with the theft of a biscuit bowl, the property of Mrs. Kerwell, of No. 1, "B" Block, Married Quarters, Kennedy Road. His arrest occurred at Ken- nedy Road yesterday while he was escaping from the Quarters with the bowl in his possession.

HAPPY ATMOSPHERE.

Satisfactory reports of work and attendance at the Garrison School for the past year were made at the annual distribution of prizes held at Volunteer Headquarters this morning. Those present included H.E. Major General J. V. Sandi- lands and Rear Admiral R. A. S. Hill.

During the year under review, declared Captain Deakin in reading the report, there was only one change in the school staff and much of the very satisfactory year's work must be attributed to this fact.

It was a source of great satis- faction to him. declared H. E. Major General Sandilands, in pre- senting the prizes, to hear such an excellent report. They were great- ly indebted to the teachers and he heartily congratulated them and also mentioned that he was struck with the neat manner in which the children were turned opl. He hoped that before long there would be a children's playground at Scandal Point and already Rear-Ad- miral Hill had promised a seat for that purpose.

Marshal Chiang Kai-shek has decided to promise a huge sum to General Han Fu-chu if he will con- tinue to fight or to hand over his 20,000 troops to General Ma Hung- kwai.

The situation is made more com- plicated by Peking messages to the effect that General Han Fu-chu's retirement was the outcome of an understanding with his former colleague, General Shih Yu-shan, the Kuaminchun officer command- ing the Shantung rebels.

TRAGEDY OF TIRED OARSMEN.

TWO DROWNED WHEN BOAT OVERTURNS.

Two of the crew of four from: Talkin Tarn, Cumberland, com- peting at Middlesbrough regatta on the River Tees, were drowned when their craft capsized in the sight of thousands of spectators.

The victims were A. Robinson and Ernest Black, of Brampton, Cumberland,

The boat, as a result of the choppy condition of the river, had shipped a good deal of water and was about 100 yards from the winning-post, when it overturned. The oarsmen were completely exhausted by their strenuous race against Bede College, Durham, in which they had made a dead-heat. The tragedy occurred during the row-off.

When the boat capsized two of the crew J. Pearson and J. Moun- sey, managed to get hold of the craft, but Black and Robinson sank and were not seen again. The Teesmouth lifeboat; which was passing, succeeded in rescu-
