James E. Slinkey, proprietor of the FL

ager of the Sausaito News, and the organ
izer and ruling spirit of the order of Old
Friends, met his creditors at the Office Of
his attorney on Friday afternoon. He read
them document whereby he agreed to
make over deed to three trustees, to be
selected from among the creditors, of all his
real and personal property, including the
hotel and newspaper, approaching in value
the sum of $4,000, the same to be rented or
leased by the trustees for the best interests
of the trust until his Indebtedness should
be liquidated. The payments he agreed TO
make as follows: Ten per cent in cash and
the balance in notes Of six and twelve
months bearing interest at the rate of per
cent per annum. As Mr.. Slnkey's total in-
debtedness is less than $4,000 it struck the
creditors that this was very fair PROPOSE
ton, and it was unanimously accepted. The
following named were selected to fulfill the
trust and handle the property pending such
time as Mr.. SiinkeY can extricate himself
from his difficulties: George Fritch, D. d.
Shattuck and j. G. Bothin.

SURRENDERED Chinese.

As result of the prosecution in the Fed
eral courts of the Chinese bond cases, and
the subsequent attachment of stores. the
Chinese bondholders did yesterday what
they had hitherto refused most peremptorily
to do. They appeared with seven of the
remanded Chinese. and these were put i'm
mediately on the steamer Gaelic for trans
pGrtaton. The Gaelic also took 100 other
Chinese. In the past the Chinese have said
to the Government: "You have made an
order Of remand; If you want the principal
you" The United States officials have
hunted. The Marshal and his deputies did
all they could, but it was not until the pres
ent regime in the United States District At
torney's office that the Chinese were prose-
cuted on their bonds.

A Point in His Favor,


A demurrer to the return made by the
Chief of Police was interposed on Friday in
the United States District Court In the ma
beas corpus case of John Hyer, arrested
here for alleged ENLIGHTENMENT in New Jer-
sey. This return showed in effect that
Hyer Is held on warrant issued by Gov
ernor Markham ordering his arrest and re-
turn to the State of New Jersey. Hyer's
counsel contended that Governor Markham's
warrant was insufficient First, because it
alleged no definite charge against the pris-
oner, and second, because that part Of it
reading "requisition is. accompanied by
complaint and affidavit" is obscure and IL
legal In that 1t is not stated whether the
affidavit had been made out by magistrate
or a Notary Public, the United States law
in such cases being that the affidavit should
be made out by a magistrate. Judge Nor
row intimated that he felt inclined to sus-
tain the demurrer but granted continu-
ance to enable the other side to hunt up au-
th0rities on the point.

CHINESE LAUNDRIES.


The Loss of Clothes Through Them and
the Remedy Suggested.
The Chinese laundry steaage is annoying
the police. Complaints come from every
section of the city that the Chinese are
giving receipts which mean nothing and it
is either pay and lose some of the clothes
or refuse to pay and lose all. If the matter
Is brought up in court the purported re-
celpts are translated to mean nothing and
are only used as marker, while the China
mans word is just as good as the COM
plainanes. Suggestions to remedy the evil
have been made. one of which is to compel
the Celestials to sign receipt in English.
Another, and by many thought to be much
better, Is to cease giving laundry work to
the Chinese.
In recent lawsuit in Fresno County
where the amount involved was S299, the
losing litigant had to pay about $1,000.
