nrs. Flyers Gets Her Insurance


Mrs. Isabel Myers was probably one of
the happiest women in Los Angeles last
night, for the jury in her suit against the
Bankers Life association CT Minnesota to
recover the insurance on the life of her
husband gave her verdict for the full
amount claimed, $4,000, with $3S7 over,
presumably for damages. This is the case
in which the late Detective A. B. Lawson
figured. b. means of false affidavits pro-
cured by one Gillelen, it was made to APP
pear that Myers was a very sick man when
he secured the policy, being at the time a
sufferer from diabetes, but that he de-
ceived the company's medical examiner,
who passed him. Armed with these affi-
davits Lawson notified the insurance com
evidence that the Myers policies
had been procured by fraud,
and entered into a contract with the
corporation to secure the surrender of the
policies on the payment to him of $4,000.
Lawson then sent one of his operatives,
ferd b. kennett, to see Mrs. Myers, who
was then living at Selma, Fresno county, to
force her to give up the policies. Mrs.
Myers was shown the atIidavits, and under
threats OF immediate arrest if she did not
comply, she surrendered the policies, Law
son paying her 500 of the $4,000 which he
had received, saying that he would give her
that amount out of his own pocket. In the
meantime there had been a quarrel be.
tween Gilielen and Lawson. The detective
had promised Gillelen $500 to get the false
atfidavts, and then refused to pay him,
threatening him with prosecution for for
gerry if he made any fuss about it. Gille-
len, smarting under what he considered
the rank injustice of his associate, told the
whole story to Detective George Insley,
who sent him to Ben Goodrich, Mrs.
Myers attorney. Suit was at once insti-
tuted TO recover the amount of the policies,

Chinese WOMEN IN court
Goot Sam and Kan Toy Before
Commissioner Van Dyke
MAKING A VERY HARD FIGHT
To Keep the Two Women From Being
Deported
hrs. Isabel Flyers Gets Her Lille Insurance.
Two Alleged lncorrigibIes Examined
Bass Sentenced-Court Notes

The halls of the federal building looked
like the lobby of the police court during the
trial of Chinese lottery case yesterday
afternoon. The cause of all this excite
ment among the Celestals was the exami-
nation of Goot Sam and Kan Toy, the two
Chinese women whose right to remain in
this country is being inquired into before
United States Commissioner Van Dyke.
The examination commenced at o'clock
and was very tedious affair, almost every
question asked by the government being
excepted to by the attorneys for the de-
fense. Attorney Reardon of San Fran
cisco, the chief legal adviser Of the Six
Companies, was on hand, and, with George
T. Phibbs, represented the women, or
rather their owners. Assistant United
States Attorney Frank G. Finlayson ap-
peared for the government.
The facts OF the case are in brief that the
women, it is claimed, came to the United
States TO take part in the Atlanta exposi-
ton and, under the special act of congress
passed TO C over the special emergency, are
entitled to remain in this country one year
after the close of the exposition, and are
exempt from the provisions of the Chinese
contract labor law and the Chinese ex-
cusion act for that length of time. At any
rate the women were arrested in this city
by Chinese Inspector Putnam, who found
them in a house of prostitution on Apa-
blasa street, where they were in hiding, TO
which fact he testified yesterday and gave
all the circumstances leading up to the
final capture.
At the conclusion of the testimony, all of
which went to show that the women were
prostitutes in Chinatown, the hearing was
continued for argument.
When it is considered that from a Chin
ese standpoint these women are among
the best looking ever brought to Los An
geles, and that they have a market value
OF $500 each, it is not difficult to under
stand why the heathens are making such
strong fight to keep them here.
In his argument Mr.. Finlayson will raise
point that has not heretofore been passed
upon and which has never been considered
In the San Francisco cases.
Under the joint resolution of congress
above referred to foreign exhibitors at the
Atlanta exposition were accorded the priv-
lege of bringing foreign laborers into the
country, the terms of the labor contract
act and the Chinese exclusion act being, so
tar as these were considered, suspended
for the time being. Under the terms of the
labor contract act such imported employees
are entitled to one years grace, during
which time they must leave the United
States, and it would thus seem at first
glance as if the two Chinese girls now in
custody were illegally detained, the year of
grace not having expired. Mr.. Finlayson
contends. however, that the Chinese exclu-
sion was in full effect at the close of the
Atlanta exposition, and that it's terms pro-
vide not even twenty-four hours grace for
any member of the celestial empire who
may happen to be in the country.
