THE LOTTERY GAME
Slippery All Gee Charged With De-
liberate Perjury

A complaint was sworn to yesterday
by Assistant City Attorney Chambers
charging All Gee with having committed
perjury, and the Celestial was shortly
afterwards arraigned in the township
court and held in $1,000 bail to appear for
examination on the 14th inst.
On July 81 All Gee was brought to trial
in Justice Owens court charged with
having sold to George Rosso a lottery
ticket. He testified in his own behalf
and emphatically declared the truth to
be that on July George Rosso and P.
H. Murray came into his store at $50
East First street at about o'clock in the
evening and requested him to give them
change for 20 cent piece and so cent
piece. He made the change, and then
All Gee claimed that both men pulled
from their pockets some lottery tickets
and asked him to sell them some more.
He was virtueus and refused-so he
said. He furthermore claimed that none
of the white men then present searched
him or took anything from his pockets
All of which, 1t is claimed, s a tissue
of lies, pure and simple. and as the mat
ters testified to had most direct bear
ing on the case on trial the perjury
charge has been preferred.

A FURNITURE DEAL
In Which Mrs. Monroe Says She Got
the Worst of It

Jake Joseph, the second hand furni-
ture dealer, is in trouble, and wae ar
rested yesterday upon the complaint of
Mrs. c. Monroe, who charged him with
obtaining from her $50 by false repre-
sentations. The defendant was arraigned
before Justice Young, and his examina-
ton set for the 18th. He was released
upon deposting $3.50 cash bail
The allegation of Mrs. Monroe is that
she went to the store, and by samples
shown her by Joseph selected certain
sets, he representing thar all the pieces
matched the sample ones displayed in
the front part of the store. Upon this
representation Mrs. Monroe made the
purchase, paid the money and departed.
Upon the furniture being sent home i
was discovered that the pieces were not
a set at all, and upon remonstrance being
made to Joseph, he said if Mrs. Monroe
would bear the expense of sending the
furniture back to the store he would re-
pey her the money. She at once got an
express wagon and sent the stuff back
but then Joseph said he had changed his
mind, and refused to accept the ill-as
sorted set.
When. Mrs Monroe visited the district
hapS the matter was one of misunder-
standing as much as anything else, so
he gave the lady a note to Joseph inti-
mating that if the facts were as repre-
sented it might, perhaps, be as well if
he returned Mrs. Monroe her money and
called the deal off. But Joseph said he
didn't want any attorneys interfering
in his business" and as he took that
view of the case, the complaint was is
sued

A PECULIAR POINT
is RAISED AT THE TRIAL OF THE
WRETCH DOGOSTINE
The Jury Refuses to Be Governed by
Justice Owens instructions
and Is Discharged

There was peculiar point brought up
in the course of the Dogostine trial be-
fore Justice Owens yesterday. Dogostine
is the wretch who indecently exposed
himself before a little girl in East Los
Angeles several days ago. When brought
into court yesterday he was represented
by Attorneys Long and Baker. They
argued that the code does not contem-
The circumstances of the offense are
most aggravating. Dogostine called at
the house of Mrs. Van Hoven, on Gates
street, with a load of fruit. His ring
was answered by Martha Van Hoven,
who is IA years old. She stated that she
did not want any fruit, as her mother
was gone and she had no money. With
this Dogostine walked out to his wagon
and brought in a watermelon, which he
deposited upon the floor. Then he took
hold of the girls hand and tried to get
her to kiss him. She refused to do this,
and Dogostine committed the offense
charged.
The child ran out into the yard scream
ing. Some of the neighbors heard her
and came over to see what was the mat
ter They caught the vicious peddler
and held him until an officer could be
found.
The section of the penal code which re-
lates to offenses of this nature provides
that:
Every person who wilfully and lewd-
ly, either, exposes his person or the pri
vate parts thereof in any public place
where there are present the persons to
be offended or annoyed thereby is guilty
of a misdemeanor."
The little girl was placed upon the
stand and her testimony was conclusive
so far as it went, but the attorneys for
the defense argued that the statute does
not provide that there is any offense
where the act of exposure is committed
in the presence of only one person.
Justice Owens took the same view of
the point and instructed the jury that
according to the law they would have to
bring in verdict for acquital.
They were out only a few minutes
when the bailiff announced that the jury
was ready to return. Justice Owens
asked the foreman to read the verdict.
Judge" he said, 1--WE have agreed not
to follow the advice of the court"
"All right, gentlemen" Justice Owens
replied that settles it. You are dis
charged. and the case will be reset for
trial. AS the jury started to file out he
remarked, you need not imagine that
there is any i'll feeling on my part over
your action
The same point will probably be raised
at the next trial of the case.

TO PUSH HOME PRODUCTS
Active and Vigorous Campaign In
augurated Yesterday

The home products committee met yes
terday morning at the Merchants and
Manufacturers rooms and set the wheels
in motion toward an active campaign
for furthering the interest in and con-
sumption of home products.
F. ]. Zeehandelaar, the secretary, was
instructed to send duplicate letters to
Col. A. ]. Smith of the Soldiers home,
to the superintendent of the Whittier
Reform school and to DR.. Campbell, res
ident physician a the Highlands insane
asylum announcing the appointment of
a special committee by the Merchants
and Manufacturers association to take
steps toward introducing home products
into the public institutions aswell as the
private homes; stating that many arti-
cles are manufactured in Southern Cal
ifornia that are equal to if not superior to
similar imported articles; that the pros
perity and development of Southern Cal
ifornia depends largely on the support
the manufacturers receive from the con-
sumers The letter will further state
that the general use of home products
means employment for the masses, the
use of raw material raised here, the cir
culation of money and vast improve
ment in the commercial, industrial and
financial circles when the people realize
and recognize the Importance of such
movement and give the hearty cooper
alton asked. The letters close with
request for the lists of necessary sup
plies and the dates when the next bids
for the supplies will be made that the
local manufacturers may be Informed
and given opportunity to prepare
samples of their goods and enter the
lists of bidders.
Besides these three letters a circular
letter will be sent to every board of trade
and chamber of commerce in Southern
California asking for their cooperation
in this campaign, and an article outlin-
ing the policy to be followed will be sent
to every country paper, that very gen.
eral support to the same end may be
obtained.
A blank form will also be sent to all
manufacturers to be filled in and re-
turned, which asks them the character
of each industry, number of men or
women or both employed, the general
average output amount spent in wages,
the averge exports sold for home con-
sumption, amount of imports from the
| east ana Europe, WITH IHelT value, the
proportion of raw material raised here
and it's value. When these blanks are
returned the statements will be tabu-
lated and compared with similar i'm
portations from the east and abroad.
A large number of signs are to be or
dered and placed in conspicuous places
in the various stores, some of which will
read as follows:
"Provide labor for the masses. Patron
| ize home industry"
"An industrial boom is more benefi-
cial to the masses than a real estate
| boom.''
"If California product is appreciated
in the east, why is it not good enough
for you?"
mo country can prosper when the
earnings of the masses are spent on for
eign articles"
You can compel the merchants to
carry home products by insisting on buy
ing no other"
Home industry means home circula-
tion of money" ETC., etc.

A Copartnership Is Formed to Grub
Stake George G. Eaton at Klon-
dyke-Divorce Complaints

Judge Allen was occupied yesterday in
wrestling with the intricate question of
patent rights, in the case of James M
Eads against William ]. Kessler.
The plaintiff in the suit owned pat
ent for an irrigation headgate, compris-
ing two devices known as 'Eads' head
gate valve" and "Eade' headgate," and
in December, 1895, he entered into con-
tract with the defendant to sell him a
two-fifths interest in these patents for
S60O0 The terms of this contract were
that the defendant should pay $4,000 upon
the delivery of the contract, which was
paid; $1,000 on January 1, 1897, and $500
on January /, 1898. The contract con-
tained a provision that if the defendant
wished to recede from his bargain ne
might do so by so announcing prior to
Jan. 1. 1897, when the second payment
fell due.
Kessler did not come to time on jan
uary l of this year, and this suit mas
been brought to recover the $500 CANNED
to be overdue to Eads But there are
always two sides to story, and kessler
denies all liability. He claims that At
torney Howard Broughton of Pomna
acted as attorney for the plaintiff as
well as himself in the matter of the con-
tract, and last December he instructed
him to notify Eads, that he sheltered him
self under the clause of the contract
permitting him to withdraw, and ask
that conveyance be made to him of the
interest he had already paid for. Some
time in January Broughton told Kess-
ler that Eads would not make the con-
veyance desired.
But, Furthermore, Kessler alleges that
he was induced to subscribe to the con-
tract in the first instance by misrepre-
sentations on the part of Eads. The lat
ter claimed the profits for the previous
year had been from to per cent on a
valuation of the patents at 200; also,
that one-fifth interest had been sold
to w. B. Ross for $4,000; and on the same
terms and conditions the two-fifths in
terest was being sold to him; also, that
it would be necessary to have from 5000
to 12 900 valves made to meet the demand
during the ensuing year.
All of these representations Kessler
claims were untrue, and that Eads knew
them to be untrue and that he wa;
cheated and defrauded out of his money.
