Man of The World
R.H. Madden this week had to undergo an operation which I hope during my stay in the Province will not fall to my lot, to wit, cross-examination by Mr deGlanville. The examination makes lively reading and I presume it made still livelier listening to, but I wonder whether other Bank directors in Rangoon will endorse Mr Madden’s opinion regarding the paid-up capital. Still I sympathise with the Managing Director of the Karen Co-operative Agricultural Bank, on having to recognise the title of “Superintendent of Agricultural Loans.” ... ...

The adjourned meeting of the P.W.D. Sub-Committee was held yesterday ... ... The Committee considered a report by the special Water Engr. regarding an accident to No. engine at the Yegu Pumping Station ... ... The temporary Asst. Engr. was on watch at the time and Mr Wilson Asst. Engr. in charge, was in town. ... ...
The Hon’ble Mr DuBern: I Should like to know whether the engineer in charge of the station had obtained leave to come into town. Mr Marshall: Not so far as I know. Mr DuBern: Then he could Yegu and come into town and do as he liked. The President: What is the usual rule regarding granting Mr Wilson leave? The Engineer: There is no rule. The President: Do you think there should be one? Mr DuBern: I think no engineer should leave his station except with the permission of the Chief Engr. The Chief Engr. said that he would probably have granted him the leave if he had asked for it. The President: The Committee consider that Mr Wilson should not be allowed to have unlimited leave from the Pumping Station at night and that the engineer in authority should draw up rules under which Mr Wilson can get reasonable leave. He should be allowed to get away from the station more than one night a week. Mr DuBern suggested making the regulations general as regards the other engineers. This was agreed to. Plans and notes were considered from the Chief Executive Engineer, P.W.D. for the new Govt. Telegraph Office, Rangoon ... Sanction was accorded to the appointment of Mr Dick, as officiating 3rd Asst.

Rangoon - B.A.A. Tennis
Last evening in the Singles of the B.A.A. Tennis Tournament, Scroope beat Thaw Da, 6-0,6-1 and Major Gilbert beat Lee, 6-3, 6-4. Scroope was in splendid form and gave a magnificent exposition of the game. It was probably the first time that he had played so strongly and those who saw him were very greatly impressed. Undoubtedly he stands in a class by himself. His wonderful placing and the accuracy of his returns were much too good for his less experienced opponent ... ... The game between Major Gilbert and Lee seemed tame in comparison after watching Scroope and was somewhat disappointing ... ... the final of the mixed Doubles will be played between Mrs Beasley and Scroope and Mrs and Major Gilbert ... ... |

Diocesan High School
|
The annual Prize Distribution ... ... took place in the Drill Hall of the Rangoon Vol. Rifles in Godwin Rd. last evening... ... About 60 cadets of the school, under the command of F.H. Jones, formed a guard of honour which was inspected by Sir Harvey Adamson, who arrived at 5. 30 p.m. accompanied by Capt. Lentaigne. ... ... where seats were also provided for the Rev’d. R.R. Smith, Principal of the Diocesan Boys’ High School, Miss Summers, Acting Principal, Diocesan Girl’s High School, Miss Hearns, Headmistress, Diocesan Girls’ High School and Capt. Lentaigne. Miss Summers ... ... We were sorry to lose Mrs Byron at Christmas, thought we were grateful to her for remaining so long, for she had stayed with us since July at considerable personal inconvenience. I hope that she felt rewarded when she heard of the success of the girl, whom she had helped to prepare for the High School Final. Miss Wall has taken Mrs Byron’s place and in January we welcomed Miss Preston to take charge of Standard VII. ... ... The results of the High School Final Exam. are very satisfactory ... ... and among the teachers I must mention with gratitude one name that of Mr McIntosh of the Boy’s School, who so kindly allowed our girls to attend his classes for Higher Mathematics. They have established a record, not only for the school but also for the province. Seven girls entered, six passed, five being in the First Class, all five obtaining Scholarships. Four of the girls occupy the first four places on the girls’ list. All the girls in the First Class had distinctions, three in Compulsory and two in Higher Mathematics and one in English. Rita Penfold gains the Mother St. Vincent Gold Medal, awarded to the girl who comes first on the list. In the Middle School two Scholarships were obtained, Jane Whyte gaining a distinction in Algebra. ... ... As a result of the good work done throughout the school, the Ohn Ghine Cup for the best European Girls’ School in the Province, has this year been awarded to us. The Boys’ School Report The following was the report read by the Principal Rev’d. R.R. Smith ... ... Good work is being done all through. ... ... In the middle school two of out three candidates were successful in gaining Scholarships, whilst F. Menzies won the valuable Govt. Medical Scholarship of the value of Rs. 60 a month ... ... As regards the staff there are happily few changes to record. Mr Newton returned to England during the year and his place was taken by F.H. Jones of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, who has begun work in the loser Sixth. Mr Yeomans returned from leave in July and Mr Clifford then left us to take up a post as Headmaster of the High School at Henzada. In July we had an unusual event in the form of a School Wedding, Mr Rollins marrying our capable matron, a very pleasant feature of the event being that we retain the services of both in the school. ... ... The Cadet Corps continues to flourish. We had 150 cadets on the rolls at the close of the season. ... ... It will be a matter of regret to me when I have to lay down my commission, unique as my position is, in the word of His Honour, in that I am the only clergyman with a combatant commission in the Indian Army. In spite of some criticisms to the contrary, I do not believe that my position as leader in the spiritual fight disqualifies me either from repelling the invader from our homes when he comes, or deterring him from daring to come. ... ... I may perhaps be pardoned if I conclude the present report on a personal note. It is now five years since I entered upon my office as Principal and the conclusion of the period for which I offered myself for Church work abroad is not far distant. It is with very great regret that I shall sever my connection with the school, where my wife and I have met with so much kindness. ... ... To the Board of Governors, especially His Lordship the Bishop and E.A.C. Walker, the Hony. Secy. I owe a great deal of gratitude. My relations with the Education Dept. have always – or nearly always – been of the pleasantest nature and I should like especially to express my acknowledgement to Mr Wedderspoon, whose aim to extract from Govt. as much unreservedly laudable and to Mr Cocks who, even in the short time that he has been in charge of the European Schools, has been of much assistance to us. ... ... His Honour’s Speech Sir H. Adamson presented the prizes and in addressing the assembly said: There is much truth in what Mr Ricksborough Smith says that the top form of a school is that which looms large in the public eye ... ... If the Old Boys take an interest in the progress of the school, it is an indication of “esprit de corps” ... ... The Cadet Corps under the martial enthusiasm of the only clergyman who holds a combatant Commission in the Army is needless to say, maintaining its high reputation. ... ... I am sure that you will all join with me in regretting the impending departure of Mr & Mrs Rocksborough Smith and in wishing them every happiness in the future. ... ... |

Sergt. J. Gregory
The part heard appeal of J. Gregory vs King-Emperor (Ma Thein) was continued yesterday ... ... G.B. Dawson for appellant said that; if any person has been seized in the manner this woman said she had been seized, she would naturally try and free herself and involuntarily offer resistance. The injuries, counsel submitted were caused by this woman Ma Thein offering resistance to Gregory when he was taking her along to the police station. As regards the injury on the throat, it could not have been caused by Gregory. If Gregory had dragged this woman along the road and gripped her by the throat and thrown her down as the evidence went to show, one would certainly have expected to find graver injuries on this woman than what she had. Then again if all this was true surely this woman would have told Tha Maung directly she got to the police station that she had been gripped and throttled by Sergt. Gregory –but she said nothing of this. It was only on a later occasion that this portion of the story was told by her. Counsel urged that this portion of the story of this woman was absolutely false. ... ... when she was examined by Inspector Murray told Murray that Gregory asked her name ... ... Mr Sitzler was wrong in saying that Gregory was for 3 months in the Rangoon Police Force. As a matter of fact, counsel said, he had been instructed to say by the Commissioner of Police that Sergt. Gregory joined the police on 21st July 1913 and this offence occurred on 16th Sept. 1913 i.e. two months after. He asked His Honour to take into consideration the fact of Gregory’s good character, the fact that he had no real training as regards police officers duties and he was placed in an extremely difficult position and that he did what he considered to be his duty and under very adverse circumstances. At the time a great deal of provocation had been offered to Gregory – that Mr Sitzler himself admitted, and added that if his prisoner had not been a woman and had been a man, Gregory would have been deserving of the highest commendation in effecting the arrest of the prisoner considering the hostility of the crown and the interference he met with. Gregory had been sentenced in all to a fine of Rs. 320. That was an extremely severe sentence, ... ... Mr Vakharia, who appeared for Ma Thein ... ... that Gregory had no right to arrest Ma Thein ... ... This defence of Gregory the he arrested her because the woman did not give her name and address was an afterthought ... ... Counsel submitted Gregory acted illegally ... ... As regards the injuries and the throttling, the medical evidence was clear on the point. The suggestion that the woman’s injuries on her throat were self inflicted was preposterous. It was quite clear from all the evidence of the prosecution that great force or violence was caused to the woman. Gregory thought the woman had flouted his authority as a policeman and therefore he had roughly handled her in the way he did. Counsel asked the Court not to interfere with the lower Court’s judgement. Orders were reserved. |

Engagement
The engagement is announced of Capt. Hogg to Miss Violet Aplin, daughter of Lt.-Col. Aplin, Commissioner of Mandalay. Alleged Bigamy Maung Kyaw Zan, pleader, yesterday afternoon on behalf of Elsie Bradley, filed a complaint before the Dist. Magistrate, charging P.V.G. Bradley, at present in Calcutta, with bigamy. Mrs Elsey (sic) Bradley, residing at Mayfield, Signal Pagoda Rd. stated on oath that she was married to P.V.G. Bradley on the 10th Feb. 1909 at the Cathedral, Rangoon. She put in the marriage certificate. She had lived with him for three years and had one daughter, Fanessa. On 3rd March 1913, Bradley left Rangoon for Singapore for a change, being ill. He had not returned to her since. Sometime last month witness received a letter from Miss Winifred Julia Angus from Singapore, who claimed to be the wife of Mr Bradley. Witness sent her a copy of her marriage certificate and asked her in return to send witness hers. Miss Angus sent the original copy of hers, which witness produced in Court. Witness also produced a photograph of her husband, which was taken along with witness. Miss Angus wrote a letter, which witness’s counsel had, identifying him. Witness’s husband was at present in Calcutta, She had verified information received to the effect that he and another woman travelled to Calcutta by the Angora on the 15th Feb. If that was the case, this was the third woman her husband had been connected with because Winifred Angus mentioned his having left her and wrote from Singapore after that date. Witness’s father lived in Calcutta and his name was James Donald Nesbit. He knew witness’s husband. She charged her husband with bigamy. She had never been divorced from him nor had the marriage been nullified by a Court. As Mg Kyaw Zan, the pleader, was unable to quote any authority showing that the Court had jurisdiction, the complaint was returned to counsel but was not dismissed. Alleged Forged Chits A.F. Abreu, a Eurasian, was recently placed before the Dist. Magistrate by the Pansodan Police, charged with using a document which he had reason to believe was forged, for the purpose of cheating the manager of the Strand Hotel. His Worship, in sentencing accused to six months’ rigorous imprisonment, remarked that the accused was proved to have used a forged chit purporting to be signed by Mr Duncan Roberts, as Secretary of the Boat Club which he presented to the Strand Hotel and for delivery of six tins of cigarettes valued at Rs. 42. The accused was a lunatic last year and was discharged only on the 18th Dec. about five weeks before this case. The fraud, His Worship said, was so palpable and so certain of detection that it was difficult to know what sentence to pass. There was no doubt, however, of the accused sanity now; his defence showed more ingenuity than the crime. The same accused was a few days ago sentenced to four months’ imprisonment by the Western Magistrate on a similar charge. |
Hospital News
Nga Maung, a prisoner released from the Insein Jail, was conveyed to the hospital yesterday by Mr Howson, Inspector of Police in charge of the Town Lock Up, in a semi conscious condition. He had contusions on the wrist, shoulder, knee and face. Charge against Tram Conductor Mr Meikle of the Rangoon Electric Company reported to the Ahlone Police that Mahomed Ebrahim, a conductor employed on one of the trams, had failed to make over Rs. 10 that he had collected the evening before from the passengers and furthermore that he could not be found. The police are making enquiries. Alleged Cheating Cases Further arrests have been made by the Pansodan Police in the case in which Bruce R. Gomes and John Scriven of 20, 44th St. were charged with cheating A. Scott. & Co. in respect of Rs. 5-9 and Rs. 12 respectively, in respect of goods supplied by the firm. Yesterday Deputy Inspector Seaton arrested A. Blazey and Dr. DeCosta wo are said to have been also implicated in both these cases. All the accused were released on furnishing bail, but John Scriven is at present in custody. Explosion on a Steamer This morning three man, named Amir Ali, Yacoob Ali and M. D’Silva were admitted into hospital for treatment for burns which they had received through an explosion of the S.S. Bhadra. It appears that the storeroom keeper, Ahmed Ali, was told by the Serang at 6 o’clock this morning to take spring matting for the horses on board. Ahmed Ali accordingly took a lamp and accompanied by another member of the crew, Yacoob Ali, went to the forepeak. As he entered an explosion suddenly took place and Ahmed Ali was blown some distance away terribly burnt. His companion was also burnt as also was Mr D’Silva one of the passengers who was standing on the deck close by. The Agri-Horticultural Society The Ordinary General meeting ... ... there were present: Sir Harvey S. Hartnoll (chair) Mr Okeden, A. Blake, H.M.S. Mall, U Po U and Capt.

Ship’s Officer Charged
F.A.J. Van Hoeften, Branch Clerk of the Principal Port Officer’s Office, on Thursday made a report to the Barr St. Police in which he charged the third officer of the S.S. Lunka with assault. Complainant stated that about 4 p.m. on 24th inst. he went on board the steamer to ship nineteen chests of opium on behalf of Govt. The third officer told him to get off the ship and when complainant replied that he could not do so till he got his receipt, the officer abused him and said he would kick him and followed this up by knocking him down and trying to roll him down the gangway ladder. He was prevented from doing this through a cooly holding his (complainant’s) leg. But for this complainant would have fallen into the river. As it was his topee and gold rimmed spectacles fell overboard. As soon as complainant got up, he ran to the upper deck to report the matter to his superior officer, who was on board but the accused followed him and assaulted him again. At this juncture the Chief Officer appeared on the scene and rescued complainant from his position. The police are taking action against the third officer who arrived in port yesterday on board the S.S. Lunka. |

The following is the report of the Directors:- Your Directors beg to report on the condition and working of the Company during the first nine months of the current financial year as follows:- From June to September, the Dredges showed fairly good results but in the month of October an unprecedentedly high and rapid rise of teh river caused general disorganisation of work and resulted in the total loss of the Dredge Shamrock. The loss of the Shamrock has deprived the Company of her earnings: yet, as the vessel was insured considerably above her book value it has not crippled the Company as much as your Directors at first feared it would. ... ... During December the Chairman paid a visit to Mankin and we quote the following extracts from his report “ After going over most of the available dredging grounds with Mr Bennie we discussed the various affairs of the Company ... that the Company has sufficient gold bearing ground to keep the dredges employed for many years to come ... .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ S.S. “Worcestershire” vs Police Yesterday two competitions were played off between the crew of the S.S. “Worcestershire” and the Rangoon Police. ... ...

Motors in Rangoon
The following letter sent by the Hony. Secy., Burma Motor Assoc. to the Secy., Cantonment Committee, Rangoon: Sir, the attention of my Committee has been called to the large number of recent prosecutions of motorists for exceeding the speed limits in Cantonments and to the imperfect methods adopted by the Police in timing cars over an assumed distance leading to the harassment and possible wrongful punishment in a criminal court of a large number of motor owners who were unconscious of breaking the law. I am therefore to urge that a way out of this undesirable state of affairs be found by increasing the speed limit from 15 to 20 miles an hour, as it is between these two speeds that a motor travels most comfortably and economically. In support of this request I am to say that the existing speed limit is absurdly low for reasonably clear streets, such as one almost invariably finds in the Cantonments; and that a speed limit of 20 miles an hour under such favourable conditions will be quite safe, except of course at dangerous crossings and turnings, at which motorists naturally slow down. I am to add that it would be a distinct advantage if your Committee could kindly see their way to indicate by sign posts or other means, where the speed limit commences for there are very many motorists who have no idea whatever which are Cantonment and which Municipal roads. I have the honour to be, Your most obedient servant, C.A. Cuttriss, Hony. Secy. Fatal Motor Accident U Ne Dun, Eastern Sub-divnl. Magistrate, on Thursday concluded the inquest into the death of Saya Zan, who on the 11th Jan. last was knocked down by Motor Car No. 976, which was being driven along Commissioner’ Road by E.E. Whittome, of the Rangoon Foundry. His Worship said that he was satisfied that the case was a pure accident which was not avoidable. Under the circumstances His Worship did not find that Mr Whittome was to blame. |

Collision in the Maubin River
A.G. Cooke, Dist. Magistrate, today commenced the preliminary inquiry into the circumstances attending the collision between the steamer Beeloo of the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company and a paddy gig, belonging to Jamma, a Chinaman, in the Maubin river, during the early hours of the morning of Dec. 8th. As a result of the collision the gig, which was loaded with firewood sank. Three lives were lost. S.A. Christopher appeared on behalf of the Crown; Capt. Bingham, Asst. Port Officer; J.B. Lentaigne for Capt. Bichard, Master of the Beeloo, and Messrs. O. de Glanville and H.E. Brown for the owner of the gig. ... Capt. J.N. Bichard, Master of the Beeloo, was examined and stated to Mr Christopher that he was in command of the Beeloo on the 8th Dec. last. At. 2 10 a.m. the collision occurred, five miles above Dedaye. He passed Dedaye at 1.25 a.m. that day without calling at the place. He was standing on the platform and swivelling the searchlights by means of a small wheel. Just before the collision he was coming with his searchlights pointing on to the starboard bank and moved them to see that all was clear. He eventually brought his light to the port hand bank and kept it there. He then brought his steamer to the middle of the river. The river was 300 yards wide. He then saw a light flash out suddenly about half a point on the starboard side. The helm was then put hard a’starboard. He then ordered “stop” and “full-speed astern.” His vessel had flats on either side. Before his vessel turned to port she was on the gig. The stern of his steamer hit the gig on the port side, 3 or 4 feet from the bow. The gig’s stern swung in and hit his flat. He then called to the men of the cargo boat to jump on to his vessel but the gig went down immediately. The engines were going astern but he thought that her way had just about stopped. Witness heard a cry and the purri-wallah turned the searchlight on to the water. After the light had been turned on, one man was picked up. Prior to this several had jumped across to his vessel. There was a small fragment of a sail hanging on to the starboard anchor. Witness then mustered the crew of the cargo boat. It was then said that the tindal and a woman and child were missing. He searched again but could trace no one. The steamer was anchored and a further search made. Witness sent out no boats. His vessel was going 10 knots through the water, when the collision occurred. There were 2 knots of current against him. While the searchlight was at work, witness saw nothing in front of him. The first time he saw the gig she was about 20 to 30 yards away. The gig has her sails set; there was no wind at all except a faint down-stream breeze; if anything the breeze was against him. The night was dark and clear with the exception that at the point on the bend, there was a slight smoke-haze. His vessel remained at anchor till the next morning, when he saw a yard or mast floating across the current, presumably attached to the wreck, right ahead of him. By Mr Lentaigne: Searchlights could not penetrate in a smoke haze. If a cargo boat was travelling in a smoky haze with lights, she would be visible. By Mr deGlanville: He knew the village Wakema and had passed it a considerable time before the collision. The narrowest part of the bend was 300 yards. He was not in the bight of the bend when he altered his course. He was about 30 or 40 feet off the bank when he altered his course. He kept a proper look-out and should have picked up the gig were it not for the haze. Fires in the village generally caused a smoke haze and witness saw fires at the back of a village near the bight of the bend. Cargo boats generally carried lights one in the bow and another in the stern. In the case of a cargo boat with a sail, the sail would sometimes obscure the light. Although a boat might have her lights, if they were obscured by sails in a haze she could not be picked up. The hearing is proceeding. |

The Railway Collision
... ... the case in which E. D’Cruz an Engine Driver on the Burma Railways is charged with rash and negligent driving by running against signals on the morning of the 14th Jan. last, and thereby causing a collision between no. 254 down train, of which he was the driver and no 255 up train of which J. Prout was the driver.... ... Ram Charan, the first witness ... ... said he was a shunting Jamadar on the Railways ... ... He looked at the home signal too and that too was lowered. He gave evidence at the committee enquiry and told this committee that he did not see the signals. That was not true. He said that because he was afraid of Mr Reynolds who questioned him about the collision. Mr Reynolds told him that if he was going to say that the signals were lowered, that the Asst. Traffic Supdt. Mr Miller, would dismiss him from the service. Cross-examined by F.J. Coltman, who appeared for the Railway Company; Witness said he did not know the names of the persons who were present when Mr Reynolds told him not to say that the signals were lowered. He was told this outside the D.T.S’s office, when he went there to give evidence before the Committee of Enquiry. Mr Reynolds told him all that in the presence of some other persons, but all those persons were cabinmen. He told the Asst. Stationmaster Kanda Khan, that he (witness) had been threatened by Mr Reynolds. The Stationmaster was not present when he reported the matter to the Asst. Stationmaster.

Tavoy River Incident
The S.S. Angora, of the British India Steam Navigation Company, lying at no. 2 berth, Latter St. Wharf, presented a bright and gay appearance last evening. The occasion was the presentation of the Royal Humane Society’s medal and certificate to Philip S. Bapty, 3rd Engineer of the S.S. Bhadra of the same line. The steamer was very prettily decorated with flags which draped each of the stanchions on the promenade deck, where the ceremony was held and pots of plants placed at intervals helped add to the picturesqueness of the scene. There were about 200 guests present including officers of the B.I. Coy., the Port Commissioners’ wharves and vessels in harbour. The presentation was made by P.H. Browne, Manager of the Company’s Rangoon Office. The aft hatchway was made use of forthe occasion and here seated round a table were Mr & Mrs Browne, Mr & Mrs Gemmell, Mr McKinley, Capt. Love of the S.S. Bhadra, Capt. Lamont and Commander Vale, Principal Port Officer. In making the presentation Mr Browne said; “On behalf of the British India Steam Navigation Company we have asked you to come here this afternoon to witness the presentation of the Royal Humane Society’s Medal to Mr Philip Sydney Bapty, an Engineer in one of the Company’s steamers. As you are no doubt aware the Royal Humane Society’s medal is granted in the case of individual acts of heroism in saving life from drowning and ranks with the Victoria Cross in the estimation of all the world. The front of the medal represents a boy blowing on an extinguished torch endeavouring to produce a spark of life. The reverse exhibits the old Civic Wreath the Roman reward for saving life and this inscription “Hoc pretium cive servato tulit” (He has obtained this reward for having saved the life of a citizen.) I will now tell you in as few words as possible how Mr Bapty saved the life of this Burman lad. On the afternoon of Monday 29th Sept. the S.S. Bhadra was lying at anchor at Tsinbyubyin in the Tavoy river with a strong ebb tide running. A Burmese woman had come alongside the steamer in a small native boat to sell fruit. The woman’s son, a Burmese boy was also in the boat and by some misfortune he suddenly fell into the river. Mr Bapty who happened to be on deck at the time saw the accident and the child being carried away by the strong ebb tide. He immediately jumped into the river and caught the child, but owing to the strong current was unable to get back to the steamer and with the child in his arms he was carried downstream for over a mile before he was picked up by a boat. Well, ladies and gentlemen knowing as most of you do the dangers of an Eastern river with its strong tides and dangerous undercurrents you will be able to realise the risks Mr Bapty ran when he plunged into the Tavoy river to save that Burman lad. It was the act of a brave man and we are all proud of him. Mr Bapty on behalf of the Directors, your brother officers and all concerned with the Company I very heartily congratulate you on having so well earned the Royal Humane Society’s medal which I will now ask you to come up and receive.” He then called for three cheers for Mr Bapty and these were given with a hearty goodwill. An adjournment was then made to the after end where refreshments were served on a liberal scale. The guests then took part in a dance till about 8 p.m. when a move was made homewards. The band of the Royal Munster Fusiliers was in attendance and played an excellent selection of music under Bandmaster Mr Parfitt. |

Rubber in Burma
To those who are engaged in the production of a valuable and indispensable commercial product ... to control market operations in London - it must be very disappointing and annoying to find that a comparatively small number of persons possess the power to manipulate prices to any extent that suits themselves ... A case in point is the recent spurt in rubber prices in London which is recognised to be purely artificial ... ... Burma has so far not taken a very prominent place in sending large quantities of plantation rubber to London but she has a distinctly bright future ... We are indebted to H.M.S. Mathews, the indefatigable and painstaking Commissioner of Settlement and Land Records for a very valuable Note on the production of the plantations in this Province. ... ... The table attached to the Note is an interesting one and shows there are 19 rubber companies in Burma, 2 having estates in Toungoo ; 2 in Amherst ; 10 in Mergui District ; 2 at Myitkyina ; 2 at Insein and 1 at Syriam. There are 194 private owners also. ... ... from which we learn that the Hlawga Para Rubber Co. had a crop of 3,901 lbs; Rangoon Para Rubber 23,148 lbs; Pathechoung Rubber Co. 9,668 lbs; Shwegyin Rubber Estate, 94,590 lbs; Amherst Rubber Estate, 22,500 lbs; Mergui Crown Rubber Estates, 96,000 lbs; Burma Para Rubber Co. 31,525 lbs; Mergui Rubber Estates Co. 28,000 lbs. The private rubber output was 1,050 pounds and the total crop for the year (1912) 510,397 pounds. |

The Railway Collision
The following further evidence has been recorded in the case in which E.A. D’Cruz, a driver in the Burma Railways, was charged before Mr Sitzler, Western Sub-divn. Magistrate, with rash and negligent driving and running against signals on the morning of 14th Jan. last, thereby colliding with the up train to Thingangyan of which Prout was the driver. ... ... C. Johnson, travelling ticket examiner, stated to Mr Vakharia that on the morning of the 14th Jan. he was on the 254 down Bauktaw Local, driven by the accused. He was on duty checking the tickets and was standing on the footboard on the left side. After the train left Pazundaung he looked at the special and saw the “outer” signal lowered. After they passed the “outer signal” and had passed some villages, he looked at the “home” signal and saw it lowered. By villages he meant some huts on the side of eh line about 150 yards from the Stockade Road Bridge. After they had passed Stockade Road Bridge, his train came to a stop and had then gone about 20 yards from Stockade Road, when the collision occurred. After the collision accused asked witness whether the signals were lowered and he said “yes.” Accused then asked him to sign a book, which he did. Cross-examined by Mr Coltman; He did not give evidence at the inquiry held by the Railway Authorities because he was not called. R.A. White, a fireman on the Burma Railways, deposed that he was the fireman of the 254 down, on the date of the collision. After he left Pazundaung Station he looked at the signals and saw the “outer” and the “home” signals lowered. Before passing the Stockade Road Bridge he was sweeping the footboard, which was dirty and accused was looking out. After passing the bridge he looked out and saw the other train coming. His engine was at a standstill when the collision occurred. His Worship yesterday said he would pass orders on Monday. |

The Railway Collision
As briefly reported yesterday, orders have been passed by Mr Sitzler, Western Sub-divnl. Magistrate, in the case in which E.A. D’Cruz, a driver in the Burma Railways, was charged with rash and negligent driving and running against signals on the morning of 14th Jan. thus causing a collision between the 234 down train from Thingangyun, of which accused was the driver and the 255 up from Rangoon, of which E. Prout was the driver. As a result of the collision ten passengers sustained injuries. F.J. Coltman appeared for the Burma Railways while the accused was defended by J. Vakharia. His Worship found the accused guilty of the charge and sentenced him to 15 days rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs. 100; in default to undergo an additional two months rigorous imprisonment. His Worship, after setting forth briefly the facts of the case, said that the accused pleaded that both signals were lowered for him when he passed them and that they must have been suddenly reversed and the cross-over 31 against him after he had passed the signals. According to the prosecution both signals and the cross-over were set against him all the time. If the prosecution story was absolutely true then the accused deserved severe punishment. The collision was not very serious and only a few persons sustained injuries, so it was really unnecessary to discuss such of the evidence as dealt with the conduct of the accused and the other driver Prout at the time of the collision and which of the trains came to a stop first. So too it was really unnecessary to consider whether Prout ought to have had a better opportunity of seeing him or vice versa. The real subject for discussion was that of the signals and some preliminary explanation of the system was needed. The one all-important point was the use of control No. 75. For the accused’s train the “home” signal would have been lowered first and then the “outer.” For Prout’s train the intermediate starter No. 88 would have been lowered first and then the platform starter No. 91. The “home” and outer signals could not be lowered for the accused’s train unless the switch rails of points 31 were set to allow the accused’s train to go through them. Similarly signals 88 and 91 could not be lowered unless the cross-over 31 was set to allow Prout’s train to cross-over from No. 4 to up-line previously mentioned. The down “outer” signal for the accused’s up-line was set to allow Prout’s train to cross-over from No. 4 road to the up-line previously mentioned. The down “outer” signal for the accused’s train could only be lowered if Rangoon East Cabin and Pazundaung South Cabin both pulled their levers. It could not be lowered by one alone. The control for this signal was No. 75 to No. 72. According to the evidence of Ram Sunder Singh, cabin Jemadar of the South Cabin he did his share of pulling the signals and then attended to other business; the signal being at “danger” when he left. Accordingly to his statement he expected the Rangoon East Cabin to lower this signal and set it back to “danger.” According to the defence story, during the time Ram Sunder Singh was attending to other business the Rangoon East Cabin either through Kali Dutt or through Sadar lowered the “home” and “down outer” signal at the same time setting cross-over 31 for the accused’s train to go through and then just before Ram Sunder Singh returned put back the signal to “danger” and reset point 31 for Prout’s train after control No. 75 had been cancelled. Control No. 75 had been used just a moment before to allow the engine, which was to draw Prout’s train, to proceed from No. 5 Road to No. 4 Road and then be attached to the train. His Worship then detailed the procedure of taking the train through these roads, and continuing, said that it therefore followed that after the engine of Prout’s train had got on to No. 4 and shunt arm No. 60 had been put back to “danger” the signals could have been lowered and the road set for accused’s train to come; but in that case as Prout’s train was at No. 4, the accused’s train would have had to go into No. 2 if unoccupied. His Worship detailed the evidence recorded in the case after which he said that accused, knowing that the up-train had not yet left Rangoon Station should have been particularly careful to see whether he was not going to be stopped outside. There would have been no justification for his supposing that arrangements must have made for receiving him on a different line if No. 4 was occupied. There was no record in the books of any order for the admission of accused’s train that morning. On the 12th Jan. orders for the admission of the 254 down were issued at 7.4 a.m. and entered by Sridar at 7.6 a.m. It appeared therefore that on the 14th January Sridar relieved Kali Dutt just about the time orders would ordinarily be received for the admission of the 254 down. It was admitted by Kali Dutt that after the engine of Prout’s train had got to No. 4, he reset points 31 to a position which would enable the “home” and the “outer“ signals to be lowered and the 254 down to run through, but it was hardly likely that Kali Dutt knowing that the 255 was still in the station and that he had not received the proper order (No. 72) for the admission of the 254, would have lowered the signals on his own initiative. The books, His Worship remarked, did not seem quite accurate, for besides, the discrepancy between the entry of 7-6 a.m. in Reynolds’ book and the 7-5 a.m. in Sridar’s book, one noticed that Reynolds wrote “6.53 a.m., 148 down brake to 2 old” and in Sridar’s book “7.4 a.m., Brake of 148 down from 2 yard to pit.” So that it appeared that Sridar entered up the movement as a message received. There seemed to be some possibility of confusion when a man took over. His Worship then, turning to the evidence of the defence, said he did not believe the evidence of several of the witnesses for the defence: He did not think that the accused’s story could be held proved by the evidence which he had produced, but there was, of course, a certain amount of probability that he would not run past signals at “danger” but only one and as there was a very appreciable possibility of the signals having first been lowered and the set back, His Worship thought that the accused must be given the benefit of the doubt as to whether the “outer” signal was at “danger” when he ran past it. On the other hand the other facts and especially the fact of the distances travelled by the two trains made it absolutely certain that the “home” signal must have been at “danger” for some time before he reached it. As explained in the evidence the “home” and “outer” signals must be set at “danger” before intermediate starter No. 88 and Platform started No. 91 could be lowered for No. 255 to come out from No. 4. No 255 would have to start from “rest” and further it was required to go at not more than five miles an hour over the “diamond” crossings. It was suggested, however, that as the train was late Prout got up speed very quickly. His Worship in conclusion said he was bound to come to the conclusion that the “home” signal was at “danger” when accused was at a very considerable distance from it and that he omitted to look at it. Even though one must give him the benefit of the doubt as to whether he ran against the “outer” his offence in running against the “home” signal was still more serious. Rules 312 and 314 published on 8th Sept. 1906, in the Gazette and published in a book, a copy of which was supplied to the accused, said “The Engine Driver must pay immediate attention to and obey every signal, whether the cause of the signal being shown is known to him or not.” This obviously contemplated that a driver should look at signals all the time and not proceed on contentedly once he had seem them down. Rule 314 required that an engine driver shall not proceed past a signal that is at “danger” unless he has received notice in writing at the previous station that the signal is “out of order.” Accused was clearly guilty of a breach of the rules. It was some time since the offence and the accused had been under suspension, but the ruling in K-E vs A.E. Dass (L.B.R. IV-139) required the Court to be severe and his Worship accordingly sentenced accused to 15 days rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs. 100 or in default to undergo an additional two months rigorous imprisonment. The fine was paid in. |

Gallagher of the Burma Railways Co-operative Stores, was cycling down Fraser Street, he was knocked down and run over by hackney carriage no 819, driven by an Indian named Kunyun. It appears that Mr Gallagher was cycling behind the gharry which was going in the same direction and that at the top of Barr Street, the driver swerved suddenly into Barr Street with the result that Mr Gallagher who was quite close to the gharry was unable to check his speed and ran into the body of the gharry. The machine was dragged for a space of 150 feet before the driver stopped an disentangled the bicycle. Mr Gallagher was severely injured and had to be conveyed to hospital for treatment. No action has been taken against the gharry driver by the Kyauktada Police, as the affair is said to be purely an accident. The 33rd Street Incident In connection with the complaint filed by Mg Kyaw Zan, pleader, yesterday before the Dist. Magistrate on behalf of Mg Tun Maung of 33rd Street charging Messrs. J. Cowan, K.J. Saunders, W.

Davidson, D.I.G., Police Supply and Clothing, deposed that on the 28th April at about 3.30 p.m. he was sitting in the back seat of his car no. 845, returning from the Secretariat along Dalhousie Street and had just ranged up alongside a ticca gharry which he was overtaking, his car being exactly in the centre of the road, when the accused, driving a two seater car dashed suddenly out from 39th Street or Lewis Street, without sounding his horn or giving any warning and came across the road so that he would have gone right into car 845 at right angles had not the chauffeur had the presence of mind to accelerate his speed, enabling the accused to pass behind his, (car no. 845.) It seemed to His Worship clear that the accused did not take sufficient precautions when coming out from a side street like 39th street one should always go very slowly and pass behind any other vehicle, whether motor car or ticca gharry, which was anywhere near the entrance of the street. Accused did not seem to have taken proper precautions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Appointments Engineer Williams succeeds Engineer G. Hull as Asst. to the Shipwright Surveyor, Govt. of Burma.

The first and second accused were not legally represented; Mr Paynter, who was exempted from personal attendance in Court, was represented by J. Vakharia, while Miss Kingsley was defended by B. Cowasjee. ... ... Continuing Counsel said that these people entered a brothel with a view to taking away a girl from the house. Admitting that they went in with a sound reason, once their business was completed they should have left the house. ... ... Mr Cowen said that what h had done was perfectly justifiable. He knew he was doing nothing wrong before God. He had no feeling of animosity against the man and there was no question of irritating him. Their plans were not to irritate people but to make peace. Any suggestions to the contrary were untrue. ... ... Dr. Kingsley said “May I enter?” and the woman replied “Yes.” The brothel-keeper and other were perjuring themselves. ... ... Mr vakharia said that there was no evidence against his client (Mr Paynter) to justify a charge being framed against him. The annoyance which might have been caused was “reasonable annoyance” and not “unlawful annoyance.” They believed that a girl was being detained in the house against her will. ... ... His Worship to day after setting forth the facts of the case ... ... Tun Maung and Bibi were absolutely unreliable and lied whenever it suited their purpose ... ... The accused were therefore discharged. |

A Charge of Cheating
The hearing was commenced today before A.G. Cooke, in the case of S.C. Clayton, late Asst. Engineer in the Burma Railways, is charged with cheating G.T. Scott, Dist. Traffic Supdt., Burma Railways, of a sum of Rs. 5,000. R.E. Henderson, pleader, appeared for the defence. G.T. Scott said that he knew the accused under the name of Sydney Charles Clayton. Accused came out as an Asst. Engineer for the Burma Railways and was at headquarters in Rangoon, when complainant first came to know him. On 26th April 1912, witness signed a promissory note with the accused for a sum of Rs. 5,000, as surety and Clayton got the money. Clayton received Rs. 400 as salary and Rs. 50 as house allowance. The loan was for the specific purpose of buying furniture of Mr Cowie and this was stated in the E: A, the letter from the accused. He signed the pro-note in consequence of the representations made in the letter. Accused did not make further explanations modifying the previous representations in the letter. Witness received another letter from accused asking for assistance towards the purchase of a motor car. Witness afterwards paid Messrs. Scott & Co. the Rs. 5,000 plus interest Rs. 154. He saw accused driving a rather expensive car and he (witness) was driven twice in it and naturally understood the car to belonged to him. The first pro-note for Rs. 3,000 was sent to witness, when the second one was executed; and witness had since torn it up. In August his suspicions were aroused and he wrote to accused, who replied promising to repay the amount the next month. In accused’s letter he also mentioned about selling the old car and ordering a two seater from England. Accused wrote saying that he had deposited a sum of Rs. 2,000 for witness with Messrs. Thos. Cook & Son, but he had not received a pice. Accused gave his father’s address to the late Mr Wilcocks, the Agent of the Burma Railways; Mr Wilcocks after communicating with his parents, learned that the family had no means. Everything was kept dark till after Clayton left the country. For the purpose of the Court, he secured a memo from Mr Cowie and had interviewed him on several occasions. On the 1st March 1912, before instructing Mr Villa, Bar-at-law, he learned that there was no talk about the accused purchasing Mr Cowie’s furniture and that he had not purchased a car from Mr England. He filed a complaint on April 5th 1913 and afterwards applied for an extradition warrant. Witness was informed that Mr Cowie had not offered to sell his furniture, he would never have executed the first pro-note. If he had known that the car would not have been paid for he would not have executed the pro-note for Rs. 5,000. Cross-examined; Accused dined with witness, either a night or two nights previously and said nothing about the furniture. Witness took it for granted that Rs. 3,000 would cover the cost of the furniture. He came to know Mr Cowie when he started making enquiries; he had never been to Mr Cowie’s house. He had no personal knowledge of the cost of Mr Cowie’s furniture. Witness simply asked whether the furniture had been purchased. Witness did not sign the pro-note as the furniture was a sort of a security for the Rs. 3,000. He took Clayton’s word for it. On 6th July, witness was satisfied that Clayton was the owner of the car, which was a good security. His Worship: The evidence will go to show that he was the legal owner of the motor car? Counsel: Did Clayton represent to you that he was the owner of the car? Witness: Clayton said “There is the car as security.” Mr Cowie deposed to going to England in the beginning of May and returning towards the end of November. At that time he had a furnished house and rented it to Clayton, the accused, for six months. The house as well furnished, but there was no arrangement between the accused and himself, about buying the furniture. Accused was away from his house before he returned. W.G. England, Motor Engineer, deposed to knowing the accused under the name of Clayton. Clayton chose a Standard car and was to take delivery of it on a Saturday. The car was valued at Rs. 7,500. Witness took an old car of accused’s on the Friday and this was valued at Rs. 1,000. On the Saturday Clayton came and said that he had been on the line and had not the cheque book with him, but that he would send the cheque round by his chaprassi on Monday morning. Accused took the car, but the cheque did not come on Monday morning and [he] had not received the cheque up to date. As the firm had closed, the correspondence had been destroyed but the books would show this. In his correspondence the accused said he was shortly to be married to an heiress and was coming in for £20,000. The car remained in accused’s possession for about two to three months. The car was then advertised for sale. Witness put the matter in the hands of his lawyer, who demanded its return. The car eventually came back to his premises and he sold it for Rs. 4,500. Witness afterwards sued Clayton for the balance and got the amount. Accused was examined and the hearing was adjourned to June 18th. |

Stockade Road Bridge Incident
Yesterday afternoon an Anglo-Indian cyclist named W.H. Campbell, was knocked down near Stockade Road Bridge by a Municipal bullock cart driven by an Indian named Dalaya. The lad, although he received no injuries, fainted, evidently through fright and had to be taken to the hospital where a short time after admission, he was brought round. Accident The sad accident which occurred this week at Barr Street Jetty should serve to call the attention of the Powers that Be to the extremely unsafe character of the railings at many of the landing places on the river This particular railing was in a very weak state and unfit to afford support to any big man. It would be just as easy to put up iron railings at all steps where sampans take in or unload passengers and then we should not have to deplore such a melancholy event as the drowning of Mr McTavish. |

Rao Maung Maung Hla Baw Took Flight from a Pebble On the 22nd inst. ... a private conveyance was returning from the Jubilee Hall and was travelling down China St. when at the junction of Fraser St. and China St. a pebble that was thrown by a small boy struck the pony making it take flight and bolt. Sergt. Smallcombe happened to be coming up China St. at the same time and seeing the runaway, pluckily sprang to it head and seized the bridle. By forcing it onto the footpath he succeed in bringing it to a stop just in time to avert a collision with a bullock cart which was standing at the side of the road. The gharry had both women and children in it at the time and belonged to Mr Mamsa of 29th St. But for the prompt and plucky action of Sergt. Smallcombe there would have in all probability been a serious accident as besides the usual traffic there is a double line for trams in the street. |

Mr Grant Brown’s place here is being filled by Mr Arnold, officiating Commissioner, Tenasserim, Divn. Mr Grant Brown has been acting as Captain of our local Volunteer Corps and has been active in this capacity. His successor in charge of the District will probably also succeed him in this. There was a time, a year or two ago, when it was found most difficult to secure an eligible and efficient man to take this up and the Corps greatly declined.

Dulce Domum Lodge
A very pleasant evening was spent yesterday at the Dulce Domum Lodge of the I.O.G.T. The occasion was marked as being a farewell to several brothers who are leaving Burma. After the business the Lodge held an impromptu, but none the less successful concert. ... The programme opened with a song “The Whistling Bowery Boy” by Bros. Smith, Bennett and Peters. Bro. Bowater gave an admirable rendering of the “Military Band” and this was followed by a stirring recitation entitled “Waterloo” given by Bro. Peters. Bro. Daley than sang a “Stranger in Strange Lands.” Bro.

German Traders in Burma
Sir, In your issue of the 6th Oct. ... you reproduce an article taken from the London Globe giving the names of companies incorporated in the United Kingdom but whose capital is German ... with only a very few English shareholders ... Amongst others mentioned is the Burma Rice and Trading Co. ... In the Rangoon Customs import and export list of Thursday’s date there appears the following entry under exports:- S.S. “Warwickshire” for Marseilles; leaf tobacco 3050 bales, 9804 cwt. value Rs. 97,600. Shippers, the Burma Rice and Trading Co. ... ... Yours etc, Querist. The Buildings Engineer Sir, I should like to call the attention of the public to the proceedings of the Public Works Sub-Committee of the Rangoon Municipality ... I refer specially to the discussion in connection with the confirmation of the present officiating Building Engineer. That Officer was appointed last year ... on one year’s probation. At the end of the period the two Chief Executive Officers of the Municipality who are the only persons who are in a position to judge the work of the Building engineer, report that he has carried out his work “carefully, honestly and well” and recommend his confirmation. The Sub-Committee however, do not want such an officer. ... It is an open secret that Mr Dumont has been trying his best to put a stop to the irregularities of his Department. In so doing he had to incur the anger of his subordinates and the displeasure of some of the rate-payers. This culminated in a memorial got up by some rate-payers, which was thrown out by the Municipal Committee as none of the allegations contained in it could be proved. Now it is proposed on the basis of that same memorial that his services should be dispensed with. How do the City Fathers think that they will succeed in getting good men to take service under the Municipality if they treat in this manner an Officer who is reported by his superiors to have worked well? The Building Department has had about five Building Engineers during the last seven years and this want of continuity in the management has earned for it a bad reputation and now because the Committee at last find a man who is trying to reform the department they do not want his services. Yours faithfully, A Rate Payer. |

New Hackney Carriage
A committee, appointed to deal with the question of the new type of gharry for Rangoon, this morning examined two models furnished by Mr Moment and Wah Sin. Both were excellent and there was little to choose between them, but the committee on the whole preferred that of Wah Sin’s as being of better shape. It was decided to divide the prize of Rs. 1000 what was offered, Mr Moment to get Rs. 450 and Wah Sin Rs. 550. The two gharries become the property of the Hackney Carriage Dept. who will give them a thorough test on the roads of Rangoon before finally issuing orders for their general use. Charge Against A Taxi Driver On Nov. 9th, H. Goodger, a chauffeur, was driving Taxi no. 4, along Commissioner’s road, just opposite the General Hospital, when he ran into a rickshaw smashing the spokes. The Latter St. Police who have enquired into the matter have since learned, it is alleged, that Goodger did not stop at once to give assistance to the occupants of the rickshaw but that he only stopped to light his lamps and drove away. Mr G.C. Buchanan who happened to be passing in his Victoria saw the rickshaw shoot upward immediately after the accident and thought that Godger would not have stopped if he had not had to light his lamps. The District Magistrate, before whom the same Goodger is accused on another charge of rash and negligent driving, today issued another summons against accused to appear before the Western Court to answer the charge in the present case.

The Arracan Company, the Agents of the Bibby Line, informed us that the Bibby Company are prepared to take members of the contingent to England at Rs. 300 per head. There are, however, people who cannot go themselves and who cannot afford to pay a full passage but want to do their “little bit” and in deference to the wishes of these, of whom there are a large number, we have decided to open a subscription list. P.A. Churchward, Managing Director of the Bank of Rangoon, has kindly consented to act as honorary treasurer. Cheques should be made payable to him and will be duly acknowledged in these columns. We appreciate the loyal examples set by A.K.A.S. Jamal and Mr Seena H. Haniff who have offered five and one passages respectively
We have received applications from men willing to go on active service in Europe and guarantees of passages as follows:- Active Service – 50, Passages - 19
We have also received the following letter from the Adjutant of the Rangoon Vol. Rifles:-
"To the Editor, Rangoon Times, There is no objection to the men of this Corps volunteering to proceed to Europe with the proposed Burma Contingent.
Signed: W.A.G. Stewart, Capt. Adjutant, R.V.R."

Sir, The challenge made by Hugh Thompson to fight M. Martino for a purse of Rs. 100 aside in a ten round contest at Peek Frean’s Fancy Fair today was duly accepted by Martino’s supporter Mr Conroy, at the Jubilee Hall on the 19th instant, but since then nothing further has been heard from Martino except that he called three days ago at Messrs. Peek Frean’s show rooms in Sule Pagoda Road and declared that unless his seconds were allowed in the ring he did not feel inclined to fight. If Martino is in earnest in his acceptance of Hugh Thompson’s challenge, he should first have Rs. 100 deposited with some responsible person, say the Manager of the Rangoon Times and next get over his nervousness that seeks the support of seconds inside the ring. I have never heard of such a thing as having seconds inside the ring when a fight is on. Yours sincerely, Terence P. O’Brien.
