with this Margharita which led to the peck
Of trouble into which he is now plunged.
Changing the subject, he dwelt upon the
property to which Carmela lays claim in
her complaint, and testified that 1t had
been acquired by his own means and exer-
lions.
The judge stated positively that there
was no need of introducing any testimony
to rebut that respecting the alleged I'M
chaste acts related in court against Car
mela. There had been introduced none
worthy of belief that she had been guilty of
misconduct with men. The court reserved
the right to ignore the testimony of any
set of men, base enough to spy upon their
fellow citizens for pay and shameless
enough to admit it, The story of the "Pa-
retti' episode was utterly unworthy of
credence. 1t contained all the elements Of
improbability. After reviewing briefly the
legal and moral aspects Of the case and the
presumptlons which arose from the facts
as determined by the evidence, Judge Allen
declared that Louis and Carmela were hus-
band and wife, but he would withhold his
final Judgment as to permanent alimony
until he learned what the litigants expected
to do under the ruling he had made as to
their marital status. If they propose to
live as husband and wife, we'll and good.
If not, some order would have to be made in
the premises.

A HANDSOME DONATION

Associated Charities

The Fourth of July executive committee
met yesterday and practically wound up all
the affairs of the very successful celebration.
The following resolution was read and
adopted:
Resolved. That Of the surplus funds for
the celebration of the Fourth of July, 1898.
the amount of $74375 be and hereby is do
mated to the Associated Charities of Los
Angeles, said sum being the proceeds from
the sale of grand stand seats at Agricultural
park and other sources than contributions.
The committee decided that as the soldiers
and the organizations working In their in
terests had received the proceeds Of many
entertainments, the Associated Charities
could make wise use of the money in car
ing for those who are left helpless at home.
The fire works exhibition may be said, there
fore, to have been given for the benefit of a
very worthy object, and the money will be
1udiciously expended.
In addition to this, the committee will
turn over to It's successors the next Fourth
Of July committee about $780, which, Is s5S
more than received from last years COM
mittee. The auditing committee is busy
checking UP receipts from every source and
expenditures, and when their work is COM

newspapers. A complete list, together with
the statement, will be mailed to every SUBJ
scriber.

The Five Little Candy Thieves Held
to Await Trial

The quintet Of boys who entered Bishops
candy factory and stole quantity of fire.
works and candy, were held to answer to
charges of burglary yesterday by Justice
Owens. Bail was fixed at 500 In each case.
The parents were given until tomorrow in
which to furnish this money or bonds, and
were allowed to take their boys away with
them. Dan Selman, who had formerly
gone under the name Of Sullivan with the
officers; Paul Humbel and Ed Lindsay each
related the circumstances of their visit to
the factory and their sampling of the
goods. They told how they had carried
away the articles and hidden them under
meath hay pile. Justice Owens observed
with artistic sarcasm that, as Judge Smith
was IN the business of lecturing he would
hold the quintet to answer to the superior
court Isaiah Lindsay and Archie Jet, the
other members of the gang, did not make
any statements.

A MIXED-UP CASE
Wherein the Debts of an Individual
Figure Largely

The Involuntary insolvency case Of Kon
Bros, which has been prosecuted for severa
days before Judge Van Dyke by the as
signees, the Board of Trade, was decided
yesterday In favor of the defendants II
this case there were five creditors who as
serted claims against Kolm Bros, grocers
doing business at two different paces-33
East Second street and at Ninth and Ten
nessee streets. The amounts alleged to b,
due were as follows: Bishop & Co., $49. A
NJ A. Newmark & Co., $999.52; Newmarl
Bros, $24.30; Simpson-Hack Fruit Co.
$29.S3; Morris Poultry Cure, $1.9O.
Ferdinand and Herman Kolm were mem
toned as members Of the firm, and Herman
was the man they were after as he ha6
the money. He left for Chicago, but before
his departure handed to his sister mort.
gage for $500. The Board of Trade, as as.
signee of his creditors, obtained foreclo
sure and sale Of the premises mortgaged
and now hold the money resulting. All thi.
was done on the assumption that Herman
Kolm was partner in the firm Of Koln
Bros. In his deposition, taken in Illinois
he alleges that he never was in the bust
ness but pursued the painters trade, and
lived back of the store at Ninth and Ten.
nessee streets.
A third brother. Theodore Kolm, now
lives In Seattle. His deposition also was
taken, in which he says that he, and not his
brother Herman, was the partner of Ferdi.
nand Kolm.
Judge Van Dyke in deciding the case, said
that the law required five bona fide creditors
with claims aggregating $500 to put mar
into involuntary insolvency. The evidence
showed that no such thing existed in this
case. In order to make out the five claim
of little over dollar had been Joined to the
others, and this and another claim were
charged against F. Kolm and not Kolm
Bros.
The judge was rather severe in referring
to the zeal exhibited by the Board of Trade
and its attorneys in prosecuting the case
However much disposition to cheat and de-
fraud creditors had been shown by the de-
PENDANTS, 1t was bald fact that the largest
creditor trusted F. Kolm as an individual.

the Judge, ito reconcile that testimony. A

RESCUE OF A SLAVE
An American-Born Chinese Woman
Taken From a Brothel Keeper


Taken From Brothel Keeper
Sue Sing, a young Chinese woman, born
in the United States, was rescued from a
den Of vice situated in one Of the little
alleys below Alameda street yesterday at
ternOon by Deputy Sheriff Barnhill, assist
ed by Chinese Inspector Putnam and q
police officer. A petition for writ of ha-
beas corpus had been presented before
Judge Van Dyke earlier in the day, alleging
that Sue Sing was unlawfully deprived Of
her liberty by Chan Tee Rock, her owner
and the keeper of a Chinese brothel. The
officers had photograph Of the young
woman, but they nevertheless had consid-
cradle trouble in locating her in the house.
She was aware, however of the steps
which were being taken on her behalf, and
when she saw the officers she made a sign,
unknown to Chan Tee Rock, that she was
the person wanted, and she was then taken
away to the county jail for safe keeping.
1t Is alleged that the brothel keeper used
to treat his slaves most inhumanly when
ever they failed to turn over to him So per
day, his abuse consisting in violent bea,-
tugs. Sue Sing has been very anxious 20
leave this life of shame and go to the Chi
nese mission at San Francisco, but was
afraid that If she ran away she would be
brought back by the usual tactics adopted
by Chinese slave holders with their female
chattels. A charge of grand larceny woHld
have been sworn out against her and dis
missed as soon as she had been re-
turned here and her owner was reasonably
sure of getting her back into his clutches.
In her predicament she took counsel from
some respectable Chinese people and the
habeas corpus proceedings were instituted
by Attorney Diehl. The writ comes up for
hearing tomorrow in Department four.

PLAY BILLS THIS WEEK
miss FRANCIS OF YALE, RETURNS
FOR THREE DAYS OF FARCE.
ROssOw Midgets at the Park and
broadway BurIesquers at the
Empire-Stage Notes.

Englishs will be dark the first half of
this week. and Miss Francis of Yale
that merry farce which was seen in Indian
apolis early in the season, returns to the
city for an engagement Of three nights and
Saturday matinee, beginning Thursday at
English's. On its first presentation in this
city the local theater-goeIs were enthusi-
astic on the merits of both the comedy and
company. Since then the play has been pro-
duced in New York and Chicago and prac-
tically wherever the English language is
spoken. London has had it at the Globe
Theater and there are now four companies
playing it in the provinces. A young Ameri-
can author, Mr. Michael Morton, has, at
one bound, placed himself among the fore
most farcical writers. The London Daily
| Telegraph, a representative English paper,
said: so far Secret Service and Miss
Francis of Yale score two to the good for
the great country that has fed on us so long
and is now most generously providing us
with first-class dramatic food. Miss Fran
els of Yale has come to stay, and the longer
the better Notwithstanding the fact OF
the enormous success of Miss Francis of
Yale" quite a novel departure from the
usual order of matters theatrical is being
made. So chary is the manager of his play $
reputation that he will only have one COM
pany playing the piece in America The
huge success he has everywhere met with
would more than warrant the sending out
of more than half dozen different COM
panies. This would be the example set him
by the speculative arrangements OF this
country. 1t would be difficult to devise
central idea more rich in humorous posi-
bilities than that of Miss Francis of
Yale" Here is q breezy, athletic, fun-loV-
ing Yale student actually mistaken for a
woman by a whole household and treated
as such while the whole time he is abso-
lutely unconscious of the fact. From the
moment he is mistaken for burlesque ac-
tress, when surprised by the old maid in his
chums apartments made up for his pet
character of Miss Francis" in the Yale
theatricals until the final clearing up, the
fun is fast and furious. The same excellent
organization that presented the comedy on
it's former visit will again be seen embrace
ing Etienne Girardot, Raymond Capp,
George f, Fanen. Louis Grisel and the
Misses Lavinia Shannon, Monte Donico,
Fanny Young Gertrude Hoffman and Ida
lene Cotton, all OF whom made hits when
seen here last.
