Hong Kong Raided

Geneva, April 27-(A. p. by Mail)
The enormous extent OF opium
smuggling in China Is proved, ac-
cording to the British government,
by seizure Of opium recently made
at the British colony of Hong Kong.
The London foreign Office which
has forwarded the details to the
opium section of the League of
Nations, said that the Hong Kong
seizure showed the existence of an
organized opium traffic between
Swallow and Hong Kong, Chinese ex-
changing the drug at Hong Kong
for arms and ammunition. presum-
ably for rebellion or piracy. Children
We're found carrying opium hidden
under their belts, and a raided club
was found to be really q den for
opium smoking

KDKA Programs Enjoyed
At Worlds LOneliest Place

The great amount Of enjoyment
that radio broadcasting has brought
to those isolated from the rest OF the
world Is clearly shown in a communi-
cation just received at Westinghouse
Station KDKA,. from the Kalaupapa
Leper Settlement on the Island of
Molokai, Hawaii, said to be the lone
Hest place in the world.
Recently under the personal super
vision of r. l.. Cooke, superintendent
of the Wireless Department of the
Mutual Telephone Company Of Homo
lulu. two radio receivers were In
stalled in the leper colony. The radio
sets consisted of q Radiola V,
equipped with and A. c. power amp
lifier and an R-3 magnavox which
was installed in the amusement hall;
while Radiola II, for ear phone re-
ception was installed in the superin-
tendent's home.
The very first time the sets were
placed in operation, KFKX, West
inghouse repeating station at Hast
tngs, Neb., was received repeating
KDkAS program. Then a few min
utes later KDKA was picked direct.
Later KDKA was again received
with such good volume that the mu-
sic and other entertainment could be
heard about 100 yards outside OF the
hall.
There are about 900 people in the
MololSai leper settlement. About 400
we've present for the first radio night.
The leper colony IL located on q
long narrow point of land surround
ed on three sides by the ocean and
backed up by steep cliffs, 1900 feet
high which are practically unclim-
able.
There are only two ways of en-
trance, by sea or over the steep
mountains, down a narrow trail that
seems to drop right out from under
the cliffs. The two radio receiving
sets were packed down this trail. j,
In the future these afflicted people
outcast from the remainder Of the
human race will at least hear from
the outside world through the mo-
dunn of the radio wave. Radio
broadcasting has again proved itself
the marvel OF the present century. =

WOMAN
 SAYS SHE WAS SHOT
Story of Mrs. Ryer Differs From
 That Of Fields--ln Hospital

Torrington. Conn.,, Jan. 26.--Mrs. Gertrude Ryer, who is in critical condition as the result of being shot in the head last night by Clifford Fields in front of his home on Har- winton avenue was reported as rest ing comfortably at the Charlotte Hun gerford hospital this morning. The base of her skull was fractured by the bullet.
 Fields. who was apprehended on the Torrington- Winsted road shortly after the shooting by a state police- man and a Torrington officer, is be- ing held at the lookup pending the outcome of the woman's injuries.
 According to the story told to the police. Mrs Ryer left Fields three or four days ago after having acted as his housekeeper for about four months. She found boarding place near Fields home. On her way home from a factory in company with another girl last night she was accosted by Fields who besought her to return to her position as his house. keeper. She refused whereupon the shooting took place. Fields claims that the gun was accidentally dis charged during a scuffle but Mrs. Ryer told the police that Fields de- shot her. Fields and Mrs. Ryer are each about 35 years old. Both have spouses elsewhere.

SELzACH ACTORS
 IN PASSION PLAY
Four Leading Characters in Swiss
 Drama Will Be in New York

Paris. Jan, 26.--The Passion play given by the St. Patrick's Players at Washington, D. C., last year will be presented next Holy Week in New York theater with the. aid of four leading participants in the Passion play of Selzach. in the Swiss Oberland.
 Agreements with the Seizach prin- cipals were made by John J. Noonan of Washington. who went to Oberam- mcrgau and Selzach for the Rev. Francis F. Durney, director of The American Actors Guild.
 Herr Shaas. the Selzach Christus, Herr Amiet, tho Pilatus and the man. ager, Herr Dobler and his wife. have offered 10 go to the United States for the performances in which, it is hoped, John Mccormack will appear.
 Selzach is a village of l,200, near Zurich. About a third of the popula- tiop, including both Catholics and Protestants, appear in the play which has been given in that district for 300 years and at Selzach for 30 years. Unlike obermmergau, the play is given in m enclosed theater, with the usual ilgDting anu scenic eHccts. ihe selzach production differs also in that 1t combines the spoken drama with and tableaux. The play is on more Of commercial basis than the more famous German one and the village plans the erection of s25o,- poo thcater, so great has been its suc- cess.
 The American production, on n larger scale, this year is intended 10 raise funds to be divided between the poor parishes of Maryland and a pro- posed half million dollar Passion play 10 be built on the grounds of the Catholic University at 
 Mir. Noonan arranged also for the shipment of soil from the Holy Land for the production.

NEWLY WEDDED COUNT
 IN OTHER TROUBLES
Husband of Milliccnt Rogers Meets With Disturbing Incident
 At Opera

New York, Jan. 2s.--Count Otto Salm von Hoogstraeten scion of an ancient Hungarian family who sails on the Veendam for Europe today with his brother, Count Ludwig and the latter's bride. the former Millicent Rogers. last night was forced to calf an usher to eject a stranger from a box the count was occupying at the Metropolitan opera house as the guest of Mrs. Charles Henry Coster.
 The stranger, who appeared in a business suit instead of the evening dress which convention demands be worn in the boxes, insisted upon talk ing the only vacant chair in the box and refused to retire at the counts suggestion. The incident drew all eyes to the Coster box until an usher was called and persuaded the unwei- come guest to leave.
 Count Ludwig Salm and his bride and Count Otto expect to spend some time in London, later going to St. Moritz. Count Otto will return to his estate in Hungary.
