FATALLY STABBED,
A Chinese Junk Dealer urderously
Attacked by Three High
hinde

D1n0erB.
Chung Luck Duck, junk dealer livin g
at 615 Jackson street., was stabbed several
times last night, and the wounds will in
all probability prove fatal.
He was sitting in his room with his
cousin when three Chinese opened the
door with a duplicate key and entered.
His back was to the door and one of the
intruders quickly stabbed him in the
back. He jumped from his chair and
threw up his left arm to guard his body
from another thrust with the knife. He
received it Oh his left wrist. The murder
Gus Chinese made two more slashes at
him, one cutting his lett arm above the
elbow and the other his right hand. The
three then disappeared.
The wounded Chinese was taken to the
Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon.
DR.. Bunnell found that the wound in the
back was probably fatal, the knife having
penetrated to the left lung.
Three Chinese, Lee Yen Lum All Fong
and Go All Chung, are accused of the as
sault. They are said to be members of a
highbinder society and the wounded man
is member of rival society.

would decide in certain wav. How do
do they know? l know about the Supreme
Court. 1t once sent me to jail for con-
tempt and have not had the greatest re-
spect for it ever since. The Supreme
Court can reverse itself from one
day to another. The Supreme Court de-
cisions in New York are sold as joke
book. The proper thing to do Is to knock
out the charter and not wait for the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court concerning 1t. !"
Mr.. Barry spoke of DR.. Taylor, who
helped to prepare the new charter, and
said Taylor had told him Barry that no
respectabl man would vote against it. A
respectable man, DR.. Taylor probably
thought, is one who does not work Tor a
living. But there were respectable men
who would go into the booths and vote
against the new charter, but they were n OF
highly respectable. DR.. Taylor said in
substance that if the freehoiders have not
prepared a charter, the Supreme Court
will make one. Taylor admitted that
there were no provisions for the election OF
a Mayor. The Governor would appoint
the Mayor, and the Mayor would appoint
a long list of officers.
Mr.. Barry said that under the new
charter any man who should be arrested
and convicted of crime can be either i'm
prsoned or put to work in the chain gang
at the option of the Board of Supervisors.
Think of the Solid Seven and then think
of that How shall I put it? Suppose
we put it that the Solid Seven are put in
the cnain gang and that the criminals are
put in the Board of Supervisors. There
are no worse criminals, and l speak ad-
visedly, than there are now In the Board
of Supervisors making laws for San
Francisco"
In two years, Mr.. Barry said, pro-
portionai representation would be
adopted. 1t was worth while to wait
two years for that before adopting a
charter. 1t was impossible for any man
to vote all right. There were $50 nomina-
tions, and these nominations were made
by the bosses. The people were not to
blame, out the system on which prima-
ries were conducted was to blame. Under
the provision for the using of convicts in
the chain gang they will be brought into

trict Attorney Foote, in language more
forcible than elegant ordered Chief
Deputy Marshal Parish out OF his office,
even going so far as to attempt physical
ejectment. The trouble eliminated yes
terday, when Judge Morrow was forced to
adjourn court owing to the failure OF
the principal witnesses in the hrst case
called to put in an appearance.
1t appears that some days ago the action
of the Government q ainst Edward Petit
of Santa Rosa, charged with raising 81
bill to the denomination OF $40, was placed
on the trial calendar. to be taken up
yesterday. When the case was called it
developed that the two principal witnesses
for the Government were not on hand. In
fact they had not been served, though
Marshal Baldwin declared tbat every ef-
fort had been made to secure service.
Judge Morrow was somewhat exasperated
at having to carry the case over and
sought to attach the blame to the District
Attorneys office. The court, however
was soon convinced that the fault rested
with the MarshaPs department. Assistant
District Attorney Schiessinger had caused
the subpenas to be issued last Tuesday,
and hence his Office could not in any way
be held responsible Tor errors com mitted
by Mr.. Baldwin or bis chief deputy, Mr..
Parrish.
1t is stated that the Petit case is only
one of many. The District Attorney s
office complain that they encountered the
same trouble in more aggravated form
during the famous Williams trial.
The case of Otto Schmidt of Oakland,
charged with impersonating treasury
officer, was also down for trial, but the de-
fendant failed to appear. His bond OF
500 was declared forfeited and bench
warrant issued for his arrest. Schmidt's
attorney said his client would have been
in court but anticipated that the Petit
case would consume the morning session
and his presence would not be desired un.
til later in the day. The calendar for the
day being exhausted, Judge Morrow was
forced to dismiss the jurors until Friday.
