POT OF MONEY IN. TEMPLE GROUND

Thirty years ago a Chungshan native, known as Sap Pat, became the keeper of the centuries old Ngaw Wong Temple in Tsingyuan district near Canton, says the Canton Gazette. Sap Pat, whose arm was crippled, was a miser by nature, and hoarded every coin given by worshippers at the Tam- ple. He accumulated over ten thousand dollars, which he buried. in the ground somewhere near the Temple.

Recently he became gravely sick, and returned to his native

RIGHTS OF POLICE IN UNIVERSITY COLLEGES

Londen, July 24. The right of the Univeralty Colleges to refuse admission to pollee without a search warrant is being fought out in the Courts.

GERMAN ECONOMIES LARGELY TO BLAME

London, July 24.

A sharp fall in the price of cop. per to-day, coming after the re- cent weakness and despite the re- duction of the surplus stocks dur- ing the first half of the year, is attributed partly to the unsatis factory conditions in Germany,

COLONY QUOTAS

OFFICIAL OPINION TO BE SOUGHT

London, July_24. Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, Secre tary of State for the Colonies, de- clared to-day that the Governor of Hongkong would be asked to cont sider the possibility of instituting n "through ticket system" for cot- ton piece goods, so that any anti- Japanese quote might be applied only to goods for Hongkong con- sumption.

This system it was suggested, would allow the free passage of cotton piece goods through the Colony. If they were destined for consumption elsewhere, and thus would not affect or hamper in any way Hongkong's trade.-Our Own Correspondent,

Mr. S. S. Hammersley. Unionist member in the House of Commons to-day asked the Secretary for the Colonies, whether he would con Bider the Introduction of a through-ticket system for cotton

pleco goods exported to the Far East via Hongkong, in order that Hongkong herself might adopt the anti-foreign quotas,

In that way, he said, quotas can be put upon imports intended for domestic consumption without in- terference with entrepot trade.

Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister point- ed out that the trade position of. Hongkong presented exceptional difficulties in this matter, and the amount of her retained imports were relatively small.

The position is not likely to im- prove, it is felt, unless the Unit- ed States lessens the pressure of American copper sales in the Lon- don market and there is a revival, however slight, in continental buy- ing, under the load of Germany. Reuter.
