Fines aggregating $400, or seven- and-a-half months' hard labour in default, were inflicted on the man.

Fines in Kowloon Case.

Revenue Officer Young "pro- secuted two Chinese before Mr. Whyte Smith at Kowloon this morning on a charge of having kept an opium divan at No. 45, Yu Chau Street, and also being in possession of 2.8 taels of prepared opium. ・・

The factories were closed on ac- count of the silver slump, the heavy taxation imposed by the Na- tional Government on imported materials and on cigarettes going into the interior and labour troubles.
