c. G. Moore lost $50 last Wednesday
night at the Fall Mountain house, and
has not found it yet. He retired about
II o'clock but forgot to lock the door of
his room as usual. His. trousers hung
at the foot of the bed, and in one pocket
was his wallet containing $50 in bills.
During the night somebody entered the
room and took the money, throwing
the wallet on the floor. When Mr..
Moore awoke in the morning he noticed
his trousers were not where they should
have been and jumped out of bed to in
vestigate. When he picked the gar
ment up the pocket book fell to the
floor and he found all the money gone
but lot of papers were untouched. A
gold watch which hung at the head of
the bed was not taken and 81 in change
in another pocket of the trousers was
left. Three strangers who were stop
ping there that night were searched
but the missing money was not found,
and there is not the slightest clue to the

CHlNAMEM WERE NOT SWORN.
Proceedings for Perjury, There
fore, Dismissed.
Thought the Signing OF n Certificate
All that Was Necessary.

From the evidence OF two Deputy In
nation of Ling Hong Sing and Lee
Quay, before United States Commits
sioner Shields, this afternoon, It appears
hat II will be impossible to convict
Cinnamon OF perjury In the numerous
cases now pending against them for
making false affidavits in registration
cases.
Ling Hang Sing was charged with
swearing falsely on March q In order to
secure II certificate of residence under
the Geary law. Lee Quay identified him,
and he, too. was accused OF perjury.
Deputy Collectors O'Connor and Gray
both testified that Ling Hang Sing did
not understand English and that Lee
Quay, acted as interpreter.
Did YOU swear the interpreter
asked the Commissioner
mo.
Did you swear the man who applied
for the certificates?
We'll he signed his name to the
certificate, and that's the same as swear
Ing him. said Gray.
Neither of the Deputy Collectors could
Identify either of the Cinnamon.
Commissioners Shields stated that he
couldn't hold the men for perjury when
neither of them had taken an oath.
After remarking that II was n rather
queer proceeding, the Commissioner dis
charged them.
over 5000 Chinese have been registered
within the past W months. The Gov
rnmen officers believe that fully one
third of the certificates issued are fraud
ulent, and they, had intenced PROCEEDINGS
against the offenders for perjury, but.
under the circumstances. the cases will

Campbell's neck. The policeman was in
