All YOUNG ARRESTED YESTERDAY
The Federated Trades War
Upon the Chinese.
A Test Case to be Made Under the
Geary Act.
United States District Attorney Deni
Receives Final Tnstractions From
Washington-The Arrest and
Proceedings Yesterday.

All Yung was led up to the county
jail last evening at s 80 O'Clock by Dep
uty United States Marshal Goodrich,
and put in the quarters assigned to
United States government prisoners.
The prisoner is the first Chinaman ar
rested in Los Angeles in an attempt to
enforce the exclusion acts.
The arrest was made in pursuance of
areply received By United States District
Attorney Denis yesterday from Attorney
General Olney.
The attorney-general was telegraphed
last Saturday afternoon by the district
attorney after the filing of the complaint
against the Chinaman in question, the
| fictitious name of All Gee being put in
| the complaint, although it Was Ah Yung,
Chinese cook at Kings restaurant on
Second street, between Main and Spring
streets, who was wanted,
Nothing WAS heard from the attorney
general until about noon yesterday,
when Mr.. Denis received quite long
dispatch from him. A portion of this
dispatch the district attorney declined
to make public, stating that it related
to judicial matters which would be
presented to the court at the proper
time.
He had no hesitancy in stating, how
ever, that the attorney-general in the
course of his telegram stated that the
Instructions OF May 4th sent out by him,
applied to violations of the sixth section
OF the Geary acc, and not to the pre-
vious laws upon the subject.
After his receipt of the telegram the
district attorney did not delay any
longer about placing the warrant of ar
rest in the hands of the United States
marshal for service.
There was considerable delay in the
arrest of All Yupg because of the fling
of a number of additional complaints
against Chinese cigar makers, high
binders and cooks. Warrants were not
issued on these complaints during the
afternoon, however, as it seems to be
the intention to make the Ah Young
case test proceeding.
There seems to be no doubt, however,
that the federated trades have thorough
ly prepared themselves to furnish the
government officials all the necessary
information as the whereabouts oi
Cinnamon whom they claim to be in the
country in violation of the law.
| THE ARREST.
At O'Clock Deputy Marshal Good.
rich, in company with F. FL. Crowell
who swore to the complaint, and others
proceeded to Kings restaurant, and
walked straight through to the kitchen
where they found All Yung chopping up
fish to supply an order for customer
The proprietor was told of the reason fol
the presence of the officials, and Crowel
pointed the Chinaman out to the mar
shal.
King became very much excited wher
he saw Crowell and cursed him, saying
that he need never expect to take the
place of the Chinaman. He ordered
Crowell out of his restaurant, and pick
ing mp plate was ahout 80 throw it q
his head, when Deputy Marshal Good
rich interfereds and informed Mr.. King
that Crowell was there for the purpose
of identifying the Ofinaman.
All Yung was then taken into custody
He did not appear to understand what
was wanted of him, and exclaimed:
81 poor man got children in China. u
He was told that he would probably
have chance to rejoin them. He was
taken out of the restaurant. and cried
all the way to the Jail. When asked i
he had registered, he replied, "Me nc
sabbe."
The customer was still waiting for the
fsh he had ordered, at last accounts.
All Yung was put in jail, and no bal
was fixed by the United States commits
sioner, it being decided to hold him
without bail until this morning.
He will either be taken before United
States Commissioner Van Dyke or di'
rectly before Judge Ross.
Quite an interesting point arises in
connection with the proceedings to be
taken. When the prisoner is brought
before Judge Ross the question will be
whether or not the whole of the Geary
law will not be passed upon by the
court. the sixth section as we'll as the
others indicated by Secretary Carlisle in
his circular letter.
The proceedings today will be watched
with much interest. 1t is expected that
there will be great excitement in China
town as soon as it is generally known
that an arrest has been made. 1t now
devolves under the law for All Yung to
prove that he is legally entitled to re-
main.
