Death Sentence Commuted By The Governor

CHUNG CHI-CHEUNG, pacing his condemned cell in Stanley Prison

as he brooded over the fate that was being decided for him 9,700 miles away by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, has been told that, irrespective of the London decision, sentence of death imposed by the Hongkong Supreme Court will not be carried out.

The sentence has been commuted to one of imprisonment for life by His Excellency the Governor.

His Excellency's decision was made known this morning.

It was in Bias Bay on January 11, twenty-two months ago, that u Hongkong water police launch found Chung lying wounded in a cabin of the Chinese Customs cruiser Cheung Keng with a revolver in each hand.

Not far away lay his skipper, Douglas Lorne Campbell, dead in his dressing-gown. He had a bullet wound alleged to have been inflicted with one of Chung's revolvers.

CONSULATE PROTEST

Hankow, Nov. 16.

The hurling of a bottle of carbolic acid at the face of Dr. Logan Roots, an American, together with an insult to the American flag by Japanese soldiers on November 13 at Wuchang, has resulted in a strong protest by the American Consul-General here to the Japanese Consul-General.

It is reported that Dr. Roots, who

is the son of Bishop Roots, formerly of Hankow, was urgently summoned on Monday to St. Michael's Church where he found Japanese soldiers endeavouring to drive out Chinese refugees who were sheltering there with th permission of the mission- aries.

Dr. Roots first remonstrated with the Japanese officer in charge, and then tried to close the gates, where- upon the Japanese started beating the American flag on the gate with their fists.

They finally threw a bottle con- tuining carbolic solution at Dr. Roots head, but missed,
