All Sing, Alias Hop Sing, Sang n
Sang of Woe


All Sing. alias Hop Sing" alias Moy
Gee You. a resident of Boston" George
town, made his appearance at the City
Hall yesterday morning promptly at 10
O'Clock. The Celestial of many aliases
was in a great deal of excitement, having
been summoned 10 answer several
charges preferred against him by his for
mer partners in the laundry business,
Moy Guy You, Moy Pok You, and Moy
You Lui.
The affidavits of the plaintiffs allege
that all the parties named were co-part-
ners in the laundry business in this city,
and had entered into an agreement to
keep up the prices of laundry work. That
the defendant Moy Gee You, broke the
contract and set up ''cut-rate, cheap
laundry establishments TO the detriment
of the business of the others. 1t Is also
claimed that the defendant received, GER
tain sums of money from the plaintiffs
under contract 10 discontinue mis- cheap
laundry business but did not live up TO
the terms of the agreement. Moy Guy
You and his partners therefore applied 10
the court TO have Moy Gee You restrained
from continuing his cut-rate laundry busi-
ness and also to return the money recelV-
ed from the plaintiffs
BY agreement the hearing was post

CHAIRMAN JOHNSON TALKS.
Reply to the Criticisms of the Local
Excise Board

Reply to the Criticisms of the Local
Excise Board.
Chairman j. Harrison Johnson, of the
excise board, was seen yesterday by
reporter relative to the criticisms recently
made against the operations of the board
by the Anti-Saloon League. He said
that he did not know what action the
board will take in the matter, since only
two members are at present in the city.
If any action be taken at all he said
ii will be after Mr.. Morsel returns from
his Summer vacation.
Chairman johnson was of the opinion,
however that no notice whatever would
be taken of the criticisms for the reason
that the charges against the board are
many of them inaccurate, and without
foundation. The letter submitted to the
Commissioners by the Anti-Saloon
League stated that only six permits were
refused saloonkeepers by the board Mr.
Johnson says the records Will show that
thirteen licenses were refused, and that
ten or more were transferred. He says
further that the record of the board
stands for the approval or rejection by
the citizens of Washington, and that,
while 1t refused licenses TO thirteen ap-
plicants, only two cases were brought
10 the attention of the board by the
league, and they were looked up and in
vestigated, he says, by the inspectors of
the board thus using material furnished
by the board and taking the credit for
the work.
