Two little words-

menn a

NON-STOP voyage

TWO WORDS on your shipping instructions will save hours and days for you. The same two words will mean that your freight shipment to the United States will make a NON-STOP voyage.

The same two words will assure you that your freight will be well handled ....... and apeedily placed on the cars ... when it arrives in port.

The two little words we speak of are to be written in indelible pencil right after the word "SHIP" on your shipping tickets. They are "VIA SEATTI.R." Never forget them! They have saved time on millions of tons of freight each year......... consigned from the Orient to the United States. Investigatel Write Ball Street Terminal, Seattle, U.S. A.

the The Steamship,

A fire at Shamabulpo In early hours of May 3 had a sequel at the Kowloon Magistracy before Mr. Grantham yesterday afternoon when Chan Chak, the masator of a shop on the ground floor of No. DG Nan Cheong Street, Shamshuipo, was charged with arson.

Mr. T.S. Whyte-Smith appeared for the, Crown, while, Mr. G. S. Hugh-Jones was for the defen dant.

At the time of the fire, the stock he had was insured with the Wing On Insurance Company for $3,000 and the furniture and clothing for $1,500. Mr. Whyte-Smith said he would try to show that the auma were in excess of the value of the property.

The Fire..

On the night of May 2, defen- dant, his wife and brother-in-law were in the shop. At about 3.15 .m., an Indian constable, who was in Nan Cheong Street, heard whistle coming from Keelung Street. He ran across and there he saw the defendant blowing the whistle.

Defendant then pointed his shop to the constable and indicated that It was on fire. The constable went to the front door of the shop in Nan Cheong Street and found that the grille of the front door was locked and the wooden door slightly ajar. He ran round to the aide door, which he found to be padlocked.

With the help of an Indian watchman, he broke into the shop. Inside he found the place to be on fire in two spots. Mr. Whyte- Smith pointed out that that was very significant, especially as it was found that the distance be- |tween these two fres was about 20 feet, with a cubicle In between. One of the spots that were burn. ing was bear the side door, and the other was inside the shop it self among the show cases.

By this time, in Indian chauf- feur had arrived on the scene, and all three men got busy. At the back of the shop was a tap, and with the use of buckets, these three men extinguished the fire.

Admissions to Police.

Afterwards, the defendant was Interrogated by Police officers who were on the scene. On him were found two insurance policies, and $205 in cnah

his pockets. A HATC found in his cubicle after the fire contained ¥38 In subsidiary coins and locked. The Crown alleged that the money and the insurance policies must have been taken out from the safe before the fire ste-t- ed.

When the three Indians were trying to put out the fire, they turned on the lights, which were found to be in working order. That would show, went on M:

No claims will be admitted after the goods have left the Godowns.

No Fire Insurance will be affected: by us in any case whatever,

Whyte-Smith, that the are was not the electric system caused by fusing.

Looking over the premises. Police officers discovered two empty bottles, which still contain- ed a little bit of kerosene, The people who picked up these bottics would say definitely that they amelled strongly of kerosene,

When charged, the defendant admitted that he had set fire to the shop, and admitted the same thing at a later stage.

Mr. Whyte-Smith said Mr. da Souza, the Auctioneer, had estimated the value of the stock at just over $1,100 and the furniture and clothing at $461.25.

The case was adjourned.
