WONG Dip KEN COMING.
The DepOrted Chinese Starts on His
Journey to the Orient.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 3.-Wong Dip Ken,
the Chinaman sentenced some time ago to
Imprisonment and deportation under the
Geary law, whose case was appealed with
the result that the part of his sentence re-
lating to hard labor at San Quentin was
declared unconstitutional. was to-day
taken north by United States Marshal
Gard.
The Chnaman's bondsmen were accord
ingly released from all responsibility.
Wong Dip Ken will be turned over TO the
Collector of the Port OF San Francisco,
who will send him back to China on the
first available steamer, unless a writ of
habeas corpus is sued out before the Cir.
cult Curt OF Appeals. and it is believed
the Six Companies have kept track of the
case all along and will make last effort
when the Chinaman arrives in San Fran
cisco. Should their effnrts fail Los An
geles will claim the distinction of having
deported the first Chinaman under the
Geary act.
Since the decision of Judge Ross that
i'm prisoument at hard labor is uncOnstitu-
tional much speculation has arisen as to
what the future action of the Chinese will
be. 1t is contended that now. if a China
man desires to return to his native land,
all he has to do is to be arrested under the
Geary law and he will be deported free OF
expense.

Unknown to the Authorities.
special to THE MORNING CALL

SANTA Rosa, Aug. "A great sensa-
ton was caused here this morning by the
disappearance OF City Marshal L. W.
Breitenbach To those familiar with the
business of the city it was not unexpected.
as much trouble has been had ever since
Breitenb bach has been in office in getting
the taxes and license moneys properly
turned into the treasury.
Last winter he was $500 short in his ac-
counts on quarterly licenses. and the Coun-
Gil was OIL the point Of declaring the Office
vacant. when some of his friends came to
the rescue and m ade up the deficiency.
Several occasions since there have been
minor delinquencies. but nothing serious
was apprehended until the end OF this
quarter.
License money to the amount of S1164
was due to the city on the 31st Of July. but
at the meeting OF the Council last evening
the clerk reported that no moneys were
turned in. Later on the resignation was
read from the CITY Marshal.
Upon investigation it was found that of
the S1164, $50 is now on deposit in the
Santa Rosa Bank. and the supposed bal
ance has been either spent or taken with
the absconding officer.
The city officials are telegraphing all
over the State in the hope of experimenting
the embeZZler.

above Ross sta ton. Nothing serious was
t ought of il as it seemed to be such fire
as would be caused by the burning Of
brush by woodchoppers. This afternoon
the alarm was given that the fire had
spread and was liable to be as devastating
as the one last year. Men were immedi-
ately in demand to go to the front to battle
with the flames, and in short time two
bus loads were speeding toward the scene.
A dispatch from Liberty's, near Bolinas
Summit, was received this evening, stating
that the fire had crossed the Bolinas road
to the property OF the Marin County Water
Company and was rapidly spreading in the
direction of the dam. Should it continue
in that section there is danger of San Ra-
fael's water supply being cut off, as much
of the main pipe line is built on trestles.
The wind at the scene is blowing a stiff
southerly breeze. and ashes are falling in
this vicinity.

less Chinese.


Two white men. named l.. Livingstone
and F. Jacobs, and Chinese named Bling
Fong were very badly burned by an explo-
sion in an old iunkshop at 1872 Folsom
street yesterday afternoon.
The Chinese was engaged in cleaning a
number of old cartridges, when one of
them in his hand suddenly exploded with
a terrific noise. The clothes of the Chi
nese and the two men mentioned were set
on fire by the explosion. Outsiders rushed
in'o the shop and soon extinguished the
flames. The injured men were conveyed
to the Receiving Hospital.
The Chinese was the worst burned Of
ell, and 1t is very likely he will die.
Livingstone's hair was all burned from the
top oil his head. and he sustained severe
burns about the arms and chest. Jacobs
had his hands badly burned and his hair
and eyebrows singed.
The two white men have families and
reside in Oakland.

A LIGHTED CIGAR.
A Careless Customer Caused the
Bush.Street Fire.

Fire Marshal Towe in speaking OF the
Bush-strpet fire yesterday said: Il have
investigated the cause IF the fire and am
pretty we'll satified that it was due 10 care
lessness / have learned that shortly oe-
fore the store of Buyer u Reich closed a
customer, while smoking cigar. went
through the floor where the fire broke OUT.
The store closed shortly after O'CLOCK
and the fire broke ous at 6. In covering
u tneir goods the firm used long cotton
covers that reached to the floor. The Gus
toner must have dropped some heated
ashes against one of these covers. Inc
time between that customer leaving and
the breaking out IF the fire was just enough
10 give the flames chance to make thelr
appearance"
this fire." said Marshal Towe. ''In the
first place all those stores with light, costly
and ipf1ammable goods should have rubber
covers for their goods just the same as the
fire patrol use. II would not cost much to
do this and would protect the merchant
against fire, for he would virtually have
his own fire patrol system just when it
was wanted.
In the next place, the benefit of the
standing pipe was shown. If the burnt
building ha0 had only one standing pine.
three-quarters of the damage dune would
have been prevented. The water-t0wer
was only sixty feet high. and could only
throw its stream diagonally into the build
ing. 1t threw the water only twenty-five
feet into the building, for measured the
distance. A standing pipe would have
thrown tile water over the entire depth of
the building from three engines al one
time. For high buildings where time is
lost in getting single streams to the tops
the standing pipe is an invaluable aid for
they can food the building almost immedi-
ately, and prevent many thousand dollars
damage"
The Fire Marshal stated that he had
Investigated the damage of the Bush street
fire very closely and it would not amount
to more than S1SO,00O
