OUT IN THE COLD.
A Business Man Gets the
Worst of a Deal.
Trouble in the FiImer.Roli;nS COM
pany Happily Arranged and
Strengthened Out.

There has been a row among the stock
holders of the Filmer-Rollins Company,
and while me junior member Of the firm is
out in the cold, the senior is congratu lating
himself on having patched up what
p, omised to be a serious difficulty without
any financial loss to himself or the CON-
pany of W hich he is the manstay.
The company carries on large business
as electrotypers. stereotypers and typog-
raphers, at 424 Sansome street. A. Roll
Inns, until very recently the secretary OF
the organization, has been noted as one OF
| the cleverest proofreaders in the country,
| and as manager Of the composting-rooms OF
The Filmer-Rollins Company, has given the
greatest satisfaction until recently.
1t is a common expression that figures
cannot lie," but Mr.. Rollins is apparently
inclined to think the proverb utterly I'M
true. And for this reason: His books.
according TO his version, were carefully
and truly kept, end showed all right. but
whether his knowledge Of bookkeeping is
limited, or on tho other hand, the senior
partner had a mental twist that prevented
him from understanding Rollins style,
the result was the same. a very serious
shortage was shown when the books were
maue UP. LtCu NcCh d SCI Sun "a
money had been sunk in the composing
rooms than they legitimately called ior.
AT least that was the allegation, and those
on the one side of the trouble said the
figures showed a shortage of about $1,000
Rollins couldn't see things just In that
light, but at the same time lie is now out
in the cold and no longer member OF the
company in which his name cut so proml-
nent a figure. He owned 100 out Of the
500 shares of stock into which the capital
of the company was divided. 1t is worth
about $50 a share, and on this basis pres
sure was brought to bear upon Rollins to
make him yield up his stock. HIS holding
was valued at $4,000, and deducting $4,000.
the amount of shortage, left $1,000 to his
credit. which has been secured to him.
But he is not happy. He considers him
self unjustly used, for those books ap-
peared all right to him, while at the same
time they failed TO satisfy the. so far as he
is concerned, too critical judgment OF his
partner.
No charges of a particularly UNPLEASANT
nature have been made against Rollins.
He was a steady going fellow, without any
of the larger vices, but the money some
how slipped away. Where has it gone?
Rollins appears to think it hasn't gone, at
least his way. but the other stockholders
think otherwise.
Meantime Rollins is out just $4,000 and
NAV be forgiven for feeling rather dis
gusted, while the rest of the Filmer-Rolllns
Company consider they are treadlng on
velvet after nearly losing what is really
quite q large sum of money.

FATALLY STABBED
Two Men Are Cut in the
Abdomen.
The Work of a Man Unknown to
Those Who Were Wounded.
The Assauiter Escapes.

Last night Daniel Mccarthy, a tinroofer.
and Efelow-workman named William
Dempsey went into Won der Mehden's
saloon at the corner OF Fourth and Mission
streets. where they had a drink of beer
and went out, parting as they reached the
door. A few minutes tn GREATER Mccarthy
was approached by a man unknown TO
him and they quarreled. While it was in
progress the stranger drew a large-bladed
knife and stabbed Mccarthy in the aldo
men and fled.
The wounded mans call for help at
tracted the attention of Officers McCarthy
and Murphy. but when they arrived the
assaulter had made his escape. The blade
entered the abdominal cavity and pune
tured TWO Of the intestines, producing a
wound that will bring about fatal result.
Mccarthy was taken TO the Receiving
Hospital. The knife used to commit the
crime was found on the sidewalk near the
saloon. Mccarthy was in the employ Of
FoIderer IL Co. and resided at Albion
avenue.
Some time after McCarthy's wound had
been dressed Allo Pope of 400 Minna street.
also a tinroofer, He'd at the hospital and
asked to be treated for knife wound. He
stated that he was wounded at the same
wound is penetrating one near the groin.
II was learned later that Eddie Kelly,
William Duncan and Charles Fraser were
with Mccarthy at the time Of the stabbing.
When Pope was closely examined it " as
discovered that he too had been wounded
in the abdomen, and that mis- inteStlnes
sere punctured.
The father of Mccarthy and that in
dividuaps stepm0ther called at the Re
ceivng Hospital early this morning.
The elder Mccarthy stated that some
time ago a man whose name he did not
recall had charged the younger Mccarthy
with being too friendly with his wife. and
threatened to kill him.
Edward Kelly, 400 Eleventh street, one
of the men who were present at the time
of the stabbing, was arrested at half-pasL

WONG DIP KEN.
Likely Soon to Start on His Return
to China

Likely Soon to Start on His Return
to China.
Los ANGELES, July 3.-The case Of
Wong Dip Ken, the Chinaman sentenced
to be deported, came up to-day before
United States Judge Ross, the court hav-
ing overruled the motion to dismiss the
appeal from the decision of Commissioner
Van Dyke.
The Chinaman's counsel read long
assignment of errors on appeal, and moved
the court to set aside the judgment and
discharge the appellant because the CON-
missioner had no jurisdiction to make such
judgment, because several sections OF the
act are unconstitutional and void. the con-
stitution providing that no bill of attainder
or ex-post facto law shall be passed; thai
the trial OF all crimes except in cases OF
impeachment shall be by jury; that the
accused in all criminal prosecutions shall
have right 10 trial by jury; that no
person shall be deprived of life, liberty or
property without due process of law. and
that no excessive bail shall be required or
excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and un-
usual punishment inflicted
The attorney in his speech laid special
emphasis on the unconstitutonality of
that clause of the Geary law providing
that Chinese convicted may be imprisoned
previOus to deportation.
In reply to a question from the court he
said he thought that if it is conceded that
the clause relating to Imprisonment is in :
valid that invalidates other parts of the
section. The court was of different opin-
ion, holding that in such case other
clauses may be held entirely good.
The court then denied motions for
another hearing and new trial. and the
United States attorney made strong
argument on the other side. showing that
if this clause was declared unconstitutional
the Chinese would have to be deported the
moment they were convicted, which would
generally be impracticabe. The case then
went over for five days to allow both sides
to file briefs. The general impression is
that Wong Dip Ken will start very soon on
his return journey to China, provided there
are funds for that purpose.
