REDoNDo

REDONDO, June 1.-(Speclal Corre-
spondence.) Redondo amusement advan-
tages are many and varied, among which
special attention Is directed to the little
lake near the town. This place, with COM
paratively small outlay, could be converted
into a veritable paradise Should the eyes
of some enterprising park manager light
upon this attractive spot he would readily
recognize the superior advantages to re-
suit from slight Improvement of the
place. Another amusement proposition
which is now being agitated and is given
the hearty approval of the railroad lines
is the converting of the great Chauiauqua
temple, capable of seating 10000 people.
into an immense amusement palace, in
which all the theatrical troupes visiting
this coast during the summer may appear.
A movement is on foot to do this and the
outlook is favorable for it's accomplish
ment. The expense of fitting up the inte-
rior of this magnificent edifice and the
beautifying of the surrounding park would
be considerable, yet it would be as nothing
compared to the benefits and the profits of
the investment

THE LOTTERY WAR

THE CHINESE
Several More Joints Raided Yester
day-The Celestials Plead Not
Guilty and Give Cash Bail

lotteries was continued yesterday and
several more Celestials were run in by
the officers, and the patrol wagon
brought in several loads of their equip
ment, which was deposited in the base
ment of the police station to bel held as
evidence.
Chief Glass has stated that he intends
to notify all property holders where
Chinese lottery tickets are disposed of
that they must have the traffic stopped
at once. If this is not done arrests OF
property holders themselves will follow.
The law is very explicit on this point,
and provides that any person who owns
a building and allows it to be used foI
the purposes of disposing of lottery tick
cts is guilty Of a misdemeanor.
Il have prepared blanks containing
notice to these owners, stating the law
and directing them to comply with it,
said the chief. "These notices will be
served and then we will begin the pros
ecution Of these cases."
Another important haul of Chinese
lottery joint was made by officers Fowler
and Sparks yesterday forenoon. 1t was
the agency OF Ching Wong, located al
|119 Mott alley. The place is run for
Ching by All Sam, and it is one of the
largest lottery joints in the city. All
the furniture used for lottery purposes
was taken out, together with several
hundred thousand tickets.
Another haul was made by the same
officers last night, who arrested All
Jew Sing, who conducted an extensive
lottery ON Main street just back of the
Mug saloon. When the officers entered
the joint they found seventeen men and
boys around the tables buying lottery
tickets. The paraphernalia, as in the
other case, was removed to the police
station.
