WHAT MIR. CONE SAYS
he Denies the Imputation of Crooked
ness in His Methods

o cnios the Impufation OF Crooked
ness in His Methods.
w. w. Cone, who claims to represent
the United States Detective Association
in this city, and who holds commission
from Gait as Deputy Constable, called at
the REcoRD-UNIoN Office yesterday to deny
the accusations made against him by certain
parties to the effect that be and his assist
ants have been in the habit of EMPLOYING
boys to enter saloons for the purpose of Sc
curlng evidence against the proprietors
thereof to be used in cases of arrest for SELL
ing liquors to minors. He was accom-
panied by the boy, Harry Summer6eld.
who is said to have entered his service for
that purpose. The lad denies that he was
employed for that kind of business. or that
ne has been asked to do ANYTHING of the
Kind. He says be was out of employment.
and was engaged by Mr.. Cone to do certain
office work, run errands ETC.
Cone further stated that, instead of seek
ing to secure evidence to convict in the
class of cases referred to, he had visited
nine different saloons whose proprietors
had violated the law, and notified them
that If they would henceforth observe the
law and keep boys out of their places he
would not prosecute them. He saws thew
all promised TO do as requested, and have
posted notices warning boys to keep out of
their places.
As to Frank Eddy, one of his assistants.
whom the police have arrested for carving
concealed weapon and for vagrancy. Cone
says it can be shown that Eddy is an in
dustrious man of family, and that he has
excellent Endorsements from Kansas CITY.
of whose police force he was formerly a
member. Eddy's case will, however, come
up in the Police Court on Tuesday next,
when he will have an opportunity of dis.
proving the charges against him, if he can.
The RECORD UNION has no bias, one way
or the other, in the trouble between the
police and the private detectives, and de-
sires only that no injustice be done to any,
body. The charges made against the pri-
vate detectives are grave ones. and should
be ventilated. They are either we'll
founded, or they are malicious falsifcations,
Let the whole truth be known.

COUNTY EXHIBITS.
Yolo Starts Committee Out to Collect
Articles for the State Fair.

Yolo Starts a Committee Out to Collect
Articles for the State Fair.
At a meeting OF the Business Mems Com
mittee of Woodland a few evenings ago
the Democrat says, committee was APP
pointed, consisting of T. S. Spaulding, J..
D. Lawson and W. NJ. Coward, who are to
solicit exhibits and collect the same and
forward them to Sacramento. This COM
mittee has appointed subcommittee all
over the county, who have been notified
of their appointments, and who will for
ward such exhibits as they may collect to
the Office of Lawson d Walker. A man
will be selected and paid to go over the
county aud collect whatever will be of in
terest. Frank Mock is the man, so we
understand, who will be selected for this
important duty.
This question of county exhibit at the
State Fair is very important one, and
there is no reason why it should not only
be well represented in the way of an ex-
hibit, but we can take prize just rs well
as not. The committee will visit the farm
ers all over the county if they have suffi-
cient time, and anything that will tend to
aud to the success of the undertaking
should be given room

LAW AND ORDER
Controversy Between E. NJ. Leitch and
Chief of Police Lee

Controversy Between T.. NJ. Leiteh and
Chief of Police Lee.
E. NJ. Leiteh, member of the Law and
Order League, called at the RECORD. UNION
office yesterday, and gave his version of an
exciting interview which took place an
hour or so previous. between himself and
Chief of Police Lee He said he met the
Chief on the street, and asked him WHY he
and the police force were prosecuting the
Law and Order Leagues detectives. The
Chief replied that il was because the
Leagues detectives were disreputable char
acters. Leitch says he then referred TO
the fact that police officers were employed
for the purpose of keeping order, but that
they, from the Chief down, did not do
their duty, thus making necessary the en-
ployment of special officers by the League.
Then the Chief got mad, says Leitch, and
denounced the Law and Order League in
very ungentlemanly and abusive language.
Leitch says he demonstrated with the
Chief for using such language to citizen.
but that the same abusiveness was re-
peated. He then went in search of Police
Judge Buckley, with the view of swearing
out warrant for the Chiefs arrest for dis
turbing the peace, but not finding that Of
hcial concluded TO let the matter drop.
Chief Lee, when seen last night in regard
to Leitch's statement, said that Leitch and
himself did have a discussion about the
employment of detectives outside of the
regular police force and admitted that the
interview was rather heated. He denied,
however, that he applied any offensive cpl
thet to any member or members of the
Law and Order League, except Mr.. Leitch.
he added that he knew that many mem
bers OF that organization were reputable
citizens, and he stood ready to do any
thing in bis power to suppress the sale OF
hquor to minors or any other infraction of
the law, but that he believed that the
league was being imposed on BY unscrupu-
lous persons.

consideration of $50. With this appoint
ment the complainant says he was also
given certificate which entitled the bearer
to free passage on the railroads when and
to where he pleased. The Chinaman saws
he tried the pass to Lincoln, but the con-

WISE MIR. wrEsEI
The Spirits Help Him Out of Trouble
With Chinese Tenant.

The Spirits Help Him Out of Trouble
With a Chinese Tenant.
Some time ago a Chinese laundryman
rented place in Chris. Wiesel building at
Eighth and L streets, where he has since
conducted his laundry. The proprietor
went to considerable expensein having the
plumbing and all the necessary adjuncts to
a well-conducted laundry placed in perfect
condition, but his shiftless tenants al
lowed them to get so badly out of repair
that the Sanitary Inspector was forced to
take cogniZance thereof, with the result
that the plumbing, etc, was condemned
and the proprietor notified to have the nee
essary repairs made, which he did.
When the bill for the work came in,
amounting to twelve dollars, he presented
it TO the Chinese wash-house boss, who de-
INJURED to paying it and asked for time in
which TO consult his favorite spirit" a
few days later he called on his landlord
and said
"M:ssar WHSLE, l talkee my split, n
him tellee me not pay twelve dolla for
what you call UNI ?-allee same pipe. Him
say alice same d. s'indle ALE plummer
man cheat like h-ll; him split say no
plumber man in Chinaman heben-all go
WHERE ucUUll i've. HO pay.
"All right" said Wiesel, I'll talk to my
spirit about it, and see what it says You
come in tomorrow
The next day the Monaghan presented
himself, wearing a confident air, and with
smile on his face. "Well, you talkee yo'
split; what him say ?'
"Oh, yes" replied Wiesel, 81 talk to my
spirit, and he tell me your spirit sabee all
bout it. Bill no good"
Mclean man split heap sabee, re-
Joined the Chinaman, with a satisfied grin,
as he started to go.
Hold on, John, cried WieseI. my
spirit tell me heap more. He say you owe
me two months rent at $50 month, and
that you must pay me S25 month for
both months, and that after this the rent
will be S25 MONTH And he looked at
the Chinaman to see the effect of what he
supposed would be a paralyzer.
'Yo split teliee SOP All lite; split
heap sabee. pay twenty-f' dolla mont,
but no pay bill fo' twelve dolia" And
the Monaghan spiritualist departed per-
tectly satisfied.
Wiesel accordingly paid for the $l2
worth of plumbing, got $40 of it back
right away in increased back-rent, and will
be $50 a year ahead in the future, and all
because of his little interview with the
spirits.
