Behind the noble palace front is a maze of royal reception rooms, ban- queting halls and llving quarters for the royal family, and its retinue of retainers, court officlals and servants. These quarters are separated by in- flamabla partitions and linked by a labyrinth of drafty hallways and a net work of old fashioned electric wiring and leating installations. Despite the fire risks, no English government bulldings are even insur- ed, no matter what may be their value or that of their contents, Dur- ing the year ended December, 1920, the commission reports, 21. fires oc- ourred in government buildings, eight of them being attributed to short circuits due to defects in old elec- trical installations. Is Open to Fire Risks. Buckingham palace is only one of London's historic bulldings open to fire risks because of the nature of its construction. Somerset house, depository of priceless documents, is another. This bullding is a source of great anxiety to the government, according to the report of the com- mission on fire prevention. Many precautions are taken against fires In Buckingham palace, Somer- set house, the Houses of Parlia- ment and other government build- ings. There are continual patrols of night watchmen, many of whom are trained firemen. Servants and offi- clals of all classes receive instruction in the use of fire extinguishers. Gov- ernment officials explain the lack of insurance by saying that in many cases, such as the House of Parlia- ment, it would be impossible to estimate their, value for {nsurance purposes.

Manila, Oct. 12.—Hadalya s a Moro girl. Customs and religious rituals in Moroland did not permit her the enjoyment of a happy romantic life as would have been ordinarily her's as & birthright. She was in love with Lahaman, a young Moro from another tribe, and vowed to marry. True to ‘her promise Hadalya, in the summer of 1922, fled from the paternal home to her lover and was married. The ire of her parents and fellow iribesmen was aroused and enmity grew between her tribe and that of her hugband. But the mar- riage had alred§y taken place, and the best that could be done was to demand a rich dowry from the family and tribe of Lahaman. De- mand was made for that dowry, else Hadalya should return to her home and abandon her husband. But the dowry was not forthcoming. So Hadalya's tribesmen took the law into their hands and assaulted Lahaman’s relatives and friends. The attack resulted in the killing of Datu Tantong, and the Moros, Salip All and Birang, for which crime the assail- ants, Saslin, Buto, Ahang, Dayong and Mamang, were prosecuted and convicted of homicide. The supreme court recently confirmed the lower court's decision. Basiin is to serve three successive terms of imprisonment of 12 years and one day each, But Buto two suc- cesslve terms of 12 years and one day ‘each, and Ahang, Dayong and Ma- mang one term of 12 years and one day, besides severally and jointly pay- ing indemnity to the families of their victims.
