CHINESE SENTENCED
TO LONG TERMS FOR
KEEPING SLAVE PEN
SHANGHAI, June 30. W)—Thirteen
boys, some of whom have been im
prisoned in a filthy, airless sweat
ship for six years, were identified S
and claimed by parents in the French ;
Mixed Court here recently. The Iuc- j
ky youngsters were a part of a i
group of 31 rescued by the French
police.
The identification came as an in
terlude in the trial of Yu Pa-hong,
proprietor of a workshop, accused,
together with his wife, concubine,
amah and three other accomplices,
of maintaining a slave pen in which
the children in question worked
from early morning until midnight,
underfed, beaten and never allowed
to see the light of day except such
as filtered thru a small barred win-1
dow.
Tales of torture for insufficient, in
dustry, attempted revolt or inability
to labor on account of illness were
told by the waifs in a manner to
bring tears to the eyes of listeners.
Many of the children were stolen
from their parents and sold to Yu
for $5 each. Others were hired out
as apprentices by parents little
mindful of their fate. They were em
ployed in making brass articles,
glassware and matches which Yu dis
posed of on a Seward Road store.
Three or four died as a result of
harsh treatment, the court was told.
Yu was given a jail term of 15
years to be followed by expulsion
from the concession. His wife re
ceived a 10 year sentence, and Yu
Ching dong, an accomplice who as
sisted in kidnapping, got a similar
term. The concubine and amah,
who appeared to have befriended the
boys on all possible occasions, were
| released. The store and workshop
; were ordered sold to defray the cost

LONDON ADOPTS AMERICAN
IDEAS IN HOUSEBUILDING
LONDON, July 2. (#>)—'The London
County Council i3 tired of the ortho
dox white or red brick house and is
going to experiment with buff brown,
red and white colored concrete build
ings.
The council’s architect, G. T. For
rest,, said recently there was some
thing monotonous in a long series of
dingy grey houses and, having notic
ed on a recent visit to the United
States an attempt had been made to
relieve this monotony by the use of
colored materials, he intended to fol
low suit.
On the council's Becontree, Essex,
estate, some 3,000 houses will be
erected in which the American idea
of mixed colorings will be adopted.
STOCKHOLM SEES END
OF SHORTAGE IN HOUSES
STOCKHOLM, July 2. (,£>)—More
room for cradles and fewer military
barracks is the order of the day in
Sweden. By its recent vote the na
tional legislature has sustained the
proposal of the Social-Democratic gov
ernment to cut down the number of
army corps from six to four and to
| reduce all army and navy expenditures
! accordingly.
J All the parties of the Left, Liberals,
Social-Democrats and Communists,
1 supported this move in the teeth of
determined opposition from the right
wing conservatives. At the same time
| the officers’ rooms in one of the
i former regimental barracks of Stock
I holm have already been reconstructed
j into emergency tenements for families
: unable to procure other housing, and
i the city itself runs a real estate bu
| reau, where information may be had
I free of charge as to where vacant
! flats or houses may be found.
With an unprecedented building ac
; tivity going on, the end of housing
shortage is in sight. Within the lim
new apartments are under eonstruc
its of Stockholm itself close to 3,000
tion and in the suburbs entire com
munities are growing up.
The steamer Northwestern is
scheduled to arrive in Seward early
Saturday morning from Seattle.
If you don’t get your paper before
six o’clock please phone us and one
will be sent by special messenger.
Lieut. Kitson, formerly stationed
at the Anchorage Army post is now
at Vancouver Barracks, according
to Seward arrivals from Vancouver.

Mr. Stewart, proprietor of the Nov
j elty Wood Works at Anchorage arriv
