CHINESE PAY FINES.
Not Anxious to Be Tried by Repre-
sentative Juries.

Not Anxious to Be Tried by Repre-
sentative Juries.
Three Chinese lottery-dealers, arrested
recently, pleaded guilty to the charge of
selling lottery tickets, having changed
their former plea, and were fined $75 each
by Judge Wood.
It is stated that the LOTTERY king" Big
jim, does not propose to forfeit bail in any
of his cases, and has instructed his attor-
neys to fight them all. One of his men
has already been convicted, but as yet has
not been sentenced.
His case was on the calendar for to-day,
but for the second time Attorney Bradley
begged off, on the plea that his client was
too sick to appear in court. Judge Wood
continued the case until tomorrow. The
lottery dealers are growing much eXer-
cised over the manner of what they term
oppression" and threaten vengeance
against the city authorities.
Among the Cinnamon arrested was one
who could not be identified by the COM
planning witness. Their friends knew
from the start a mistake had been made in
regard to the fellow, but instead of bailing
him out allowed him to remain in prison
until the day set for his trial, when he was
dismissed.
Now the Chinaman's attorneys propose
to sue the city for false imprisonment
cuted for visiting a lottery joint, as the
Supreme Court recently declared the law
unconstitutional.
The Auditors Office.
1t is not yet known in just what position
the indictments place the Auditors office.
There is quite difference of opinion in
regard to the matter. Some attorneys
claim that Whidden should not be allowed
in the office pending the charges, but that
proceedings should at once be begun to re-
move him. Others say there is nothing
but charges, and until they are proven
Whidden has perfect right to the Office.
Chief Deputy Ernest Mayrisch Jr. has
sent in his resignation to County Tax Col
Iector James B. Barber, who at once ac
cepted it. w. B. Hodges of Alameda has
been appointed to fill the vacancy.

from whom he has been separated for
some time. He claims that Mrs. Trues-
dell induced him to come from Laundry
Farm, where he has been employed for
some time past, and give her $25. He
did so, but claims that she obtained it from
him under false pretenses, and his arrest
this morning resulted from their dis
cussion over the matter.
They Trimmed the Trees.
The linemen of the Berkeley Electric

THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.
The Granting of the New Dam Franchise
to BE Discussed Tonight.

The Granting of the New Dam Franchise
to BE Discussed Tonight.
The Topeka Municipal league meets
tonight in Trades Assembly hall at 113
East Seventh street. The topic to be dis
cussed at the meeting is the granting of
the franchise to the new dam company.
While nothing definite can be done
affecting the granting of the franchise
there Will probably be some talk about
the granting of franchises in general.
The people of Topeka want the new
company to be given chance to build a
dam, and as they are under a heavy
bond, it is extremely unlikely that the
company will not carry out the provisions
of their ordinance.
The executive committee of the league
held meeting and decided to discuss
Means of providing work for the unem-
ployed of the city," at the next meeting
of the league which will probably be
held a week from tonight It will proba-
bly, require more than one meeting to
dispose of this subject, and it will never
be com pleted until work has been fur
nished for all who are unable to secure
employment The plan adopted by the
mayor of Detroit in putting to use the
vacant land in the city limits will be dis.
cussed.
When this question is disposed of, the
water works matter will be taken up. If
the league can deliver the city from the
rapacity of this monster, the organization
will have done enough to entitle it to the
high regard of all citizens, and it will be
voted a success if it accomplishes nc
more.
The public is invited to the meetings
of the league.

WHOSE IS IT?

A Work on Poker Found in the Raid
of the Columbian Whist Club.
Among the few interesting and in
structive things captured in the raid the
police made in the Columbian building
sunday afternoon, is little work on
draw poker.
1t is thin, and neatly bound and new.
In it are several descriptions of how to
detect gambling tricks with the cards,
and it very generously explains the
tricks SO that a man could learn to do
them easily himself 1t also contains
rules for club room use, and is very use
full withal.
A treatise on poker is a strange thing
to find in a whist room, but of course it
may have been left there by mistake
The book is entitled "-'s Manual
of Useful Information Concerning
Marks and Stamps and Portable and

and Other Matters of Interest to Lovers

no mark to tell whom it belonged to-
