MOVED FROM CHINATOWN
Officers Harris, Davis and Len ION Given
Change
Chief Glass Says 1t Is Mt True That They
Were Assigned to New Beats at Re.
qM.st of tbs Chlnese

The watches of the police patrol will
change today, according to custom. the
first of the month. Some of the officers
have been assigned to new beats.
Officers Harris. Davis and Lennon are
removed from Chinatown. A rumor
gained currency yesterday that this
change was made at the behest of the
Chinese population. who have complain
ed that these officers are too severe in
their handling of the truly good Mon
golians.
A few days ago Officer Davis was
compelled in self-defense to use his club
on a recalcitrant heather who waylaid
the officer with a cobblestone and threat
ened to kill him for breaking up fan
tan game. Officer Harris not long since
kicked Celestial in tender spot. and
officer Lennon has been detected in the
act of removing his foot from the rear
elevation of Chinaman's anatomy very
swiftly. All these acts caused much dis
comfort for the sons of the Flowery
Kingdom, and they conspired to secure
the removal of the officers from that
portion of the city.
1t is asserted that several indignation
meetings We're held by the tongs recent
ly, and committees appointed to wait
upon Chief Glass to ask for relief 1t
was even intimated yesterday that the
assignment of the three valiant coppers
to other beats was due to the pressure
brought to bear on the chief by the al
mond-cyed folk.
Chief Glass when interrogated about
the matter yesterday, said there was
absolutely not a particle of foundation
for the rumor He had heard nothing OF
any indigna tion meetings in Chinatown,
neither had any Cinnamon waited upon
him to ask the removal of any officer
None of the officers liked to remain In
China town long, and were generally re-
lieved at their own request The three
officers named were assigned to new
beats not for anything they had done
or left undone in Chinatown, but simply
to give them a change.
The chief resented the inslnuatlon that
he would be influenced by the desires Of
the Chinese in the matter, and intimated
that any officer circulating such reports
would be promptly relieved of his star
Officer Harris Is one of the veterans
of the Chinatown patrol and has Splen-
did record as an officer and man. The
present month he will be found on Main
street, between First and Sixth. Officer
Davis is likewise one Of the city's finest
and has a good record. His new beat is
on Los Angeles street, between First
and Sixth. Officer Lennon is tireless
worker and knows how to keep the high
binders In subsection. He goes to the
COW pastures in the territory bounded
by Pico, Main. Washington and Figue-
roa streets.
Nearly all the other officers have been
changed around.

O0ld timers OF inyo county FAVOR Free

R. Decker, a geologist and mining en-
gineer and superintendent of the Death
Valley mine in the Panamint district
Inyo county, is at the Hollenbeck. Mr.
Decker brings flattering reports from
the mines in that region. The ores are
very rich in gold and show but slight
traces of silver. He predicts that the
Panamint district which acquired bad
name through the unfortunate ventures
of John p. Jones away back in the 7Os
will yet become the great mining center
of the state. The trouble with Jones was
that he worked in the wrong formation
and was in quest of silver. Operations
are now confined to formation that is
rich in gold.
Changing the subject to politics, Mr.
Decker said:
1--WE are mining gold up there, but,
strange to say, we are all silver men.

The LeadyllJe Strike

LEADVILLE, Col. Aug. 31.-As yet no
water has appeared in the mines now being
worked, as result of the stoppage of the
Bon Air and Penrose pumps. AS a matter
of fact, such result would not become ap-

wilderness of drifts in the Penrose and
Bon Air mines will have to fill with water
before it shows in other mines. The We'll
