THE FIRST TWO.
Convicted Chinese FeIOnS
to Be Deported.
Judge Morrow Loses No Time in
Handling the Cases of Celestial
Ex-COnvictS.

The first order for the deportation of Chinese
felons from this district was made yesterday by
Judge Morrow, sitting in the U nlted States DIS
trict Court. The provision of the McCreary
law upon which the opinion OF The court was
based Is in section aud provides that mo CHI
nese person formerly convicted IN any court OF
the States or Territories of the United States OF
felony shall be permitted to register under
the provisions of this act"
Alb Hung, Dang WOlh, alias Dam An Sing,
and Ng Teen, each OF whom are ex-conVcts,
were arrested December 81 last under this
clause and were released on bonds pending
eXamir ration.
RiOrdan. appeared before Judge Morrow vest er-
day morning prepared for trial. The case OF
All Hung was the first heard and was disposed
OF IN short order. IL was shown that the de-
| fendant had been convicted OF burglary on De
| D, 1889, at Sacramento and was sentenced 10
| four years Imprisonment at Folsom HIS SUD-
| sequent reputation WAS also shown to be far
| from good, and as no defense was offered MS
| DEPORTATION was ordered.
Dang WOeh, who is also known as Dan All
| Sing, has served time at san Quentin. Detec-
| tives Cox and GlennOn gave some very damag-
ing testimony az to his character, which sufhced
! 10 cause the Monaghan 10 be ordered deporIed
In the case of NJ Teen a postponement was
! ordered. After the case was called II was
| shown by competent testimony that the defend
| ant has been a partner in local Chinese dry
goods hrm for the past eight years, during
| which time his reputation has been above re-
| prOach. In this particular instance the queS-
! ton will probably arise whether or not Chinese
| felOnS who nave thus reformed, and show
| Willingness OF abiding by our laws. coupled 10
| the additional fact of being engaged in a mer
camille business thereby escaping the labOrer
| clause should coma under the heading of
| felons.
The case Will be tried this morning, when
this point will be brought up for argument, as
Judge Morrow desires 10 be thoroughly in
formed on all technicaiitieS which might arise
under the Chinese exclusion and registration
acts.
Another reason for the continuance asked
for was the absence of Attorney Lyman l.
MOwry, who was Instrumental III causing the
arrest. Assistant United States District AttOT-
ney Wltter, who Is pr scouting the cases, has
caused a subpoena 10 be issued for MIR. MOwry
IN order that he may Fave the occasion of en-
Tightening the court as TO his grievance against
the accused.

3 O'Clock yesterday morning. Valvular disease
OF the heart combined with debility from old
age is given as the cause of his death.
Mr.. LeipnltZ was regarded as a character of
the town. He was widely known through
a singular belief among a certain class that he
made medicines from snakes To those who
knew him intimately he appeared man of
eccentric though quiet habits. His quaint hat,
which never changed in style. was quite as
peculiar as his snakes. In the very early days
OF San Francisco some friend took rattle

The druggist put the snake into box IN the
window and presently people began presenting
him with rattlers which then abounded near the
city. As years wore on he kept his snakes.

with reference 10 the best time for holding the

IN fire departments"
Captain COmstock, superintendent Of the San
Francisco Fire Patrol. submitted a paper on
Fire patrols, salvage corps ana protective de-
partments." The paper described the patrol
department of this city. Its workings, etc. The
writer took occasion TO say that the Fire De-
partment of San Francisco had so improved
within the past SIX months that the patrol had
to race well in order to get TO fires IN time TO
spread its covers.
Chief Hunt, in paper on 1.-THE Best Method
TO Suppress Incendiarsm," declared that good
fire departments were an effective deterrent
force. because frebugs reasoned that it would
be both dangerous and useless to set fire TO
property.if the departments were prompt in ar
irving on the scene and active and successful
in putting out fires If insurance companies
would refrain from allowing big Insurance on
small stocks the operations of incendiaries
would be materially decreased.
The convention then discussed the usefulness
OF the chemical engine. Chief d. T. Sullivan
cited some very convincing statistics showing
the value OF this apparatus. he pronounced it
grand thing and declared that no department
% could afford TO be without one. The discussion
