The defense said that it made no differ

fore the grand jury anyhow.
Further rcross-eXaminaton was devoted to
ascertaning how much Ritch's knowledge
of fantan amounted to and under what cir
cumstances he had become intimate with the
intricasies of the game. The officer denied
that he had drawn his pistol, dragged down
one of the Cinnamon, pulled the sack Of
money out of his pocket, thrown him out Of

to the witness testifying that the game
played was fantan. He might describe the
game as he saw it played, but was not to
qualify it by name, as it had not been shown
that he was fantan expert himself. Mr..
Ritch replied that he is an expert in the rules
and regulations of the mysteries Of the Chi
nese game OF chance.
He then produceda "a blanket, a green cloth,
small teacup, lot of white and black but
tons, few cash and some dom
inoes, which he captured during his
raid and which he alleged are the parapher-
MALTA used in fantan dealing.
Ritch now reconstru ructed for the benefit of
the judge the position of the gamesters round
the table at the game he interrupted, and
testified what the defendants were doing.
His description tailed with the accepted
modus operandi of tantan. When a hand
was played out, he said, the cashier paid oft
the bets and raked in such money as had
been won by the bank. When he got into
the room he obtained the sack containing
the money.
On cross-eXamination he said that he
counted the cash in back room of Suey's

placed it behind the bar. The witness then
detailed how he had wandered with Wong

he had arrested, in search OF his bunk. which
was finally ascertaned to be in a room on
lower floor of the restaurant where he had

He explained that he let Wong Doe 90 be
cause he could lay his hand upon him at any
time and that he expected to fool the other
defendant, who had broke away at the time
of the raid, into a sense Of security. so that
he could catch him when he wanted him.
1t was brought out under Mr.. Appe's cross
examination that Ritch had carried the bun
die containing the money under his arm for
whole hour before he left it at Caldera s
saloon.
The defense asked the witness if he had
gone into place where he changed $50
piece. The question was objected to by Mr..
Chambers. Mr.. Appel arose then and said
that the question was perfectly proper. The
complaining witness had not brought this
action for the purpose of vindicating the
law but to prop up his own questionable sit
uatlon. The defense proposed to show that
there was no game Of fantan being played
at the Marchessaut restaurant. but that
Ritch went into the room and got the money.
1t would be proved that he afterward on the
same night denied positively having got any
money. The attorney asserted that this
complaint would never have been brought

paper of the day was read by Prof. W. A.
Edwards of Throop polytechnic institute.
While the subject was not new to the club,
it is always one of vital interest to persons
interested in the problems of the day and
the improvement of present conditions
Prof. Edwards is eminently qualified by
years of experience to speak intelligently
and entertainingly of the advantages of
manual training in modern education.
He emphasized the Importance of manual
training as motive to induce boys to re-
main in school until they are fitted both
physically and mentally by competent in
struction for the duties that await them in
maturity. This broader training developes
not only the mental qualities but the judg-
ment, reasoning powers and the hands to
be useful, which in the education of the day
leaves many students helpless as bread
winners in the over-crowded professions.

RIICRS CHINESE RAID
STRANGE TRIAL IN THE POLICE
COURT
VERY LITTLE ABOUT FANTAN
Comes Out, but Little Things Are Cast
Up Against the Officer by
the Defense

All Gwong and Wong Doe, alleged chi
nase gamblers, were tried yesterday by TO
6ce Judge Morrison on charge preferred
against them by Officer Riteh of the China
town squad of having dealt fantan in res
taurant at 3O91h Marchessault street, Nov,
18th.
This is the case over which such howl
has been made by the attorneys for the de
PENDANTS and which they say is to be sub
mitted to the present grand jury and the po-
lice commission. Messrs. Appel and Phibbs
contend that the practice Of the Chinatown
officers of swooping into Chinese domlcies,
grabbing money and rummaging through the
heathens' property is wholly unjustified by
law and outrageous.
The money taken by Ritch at his raid had
been turned over by Ritch under an order
of the court to Clerk Stockwell, who counted
it when the case was called yesterday morn
ing. 1t consisted of $50 80 in gold and silver,
instead of $95, as claimed by the defendants.
All the proceedings in the case were taken
down by Stenographer Bagley.
Officer j. w. Ritch testified that he went
into a room in the third story of the res
taurant, where he found twelve or fifteen
Chinese, among them the two defendants,
playing fantan. An objection was sustained

police station as to what had become OF his

police station as to what had become of his
money.
The court overruled the peoples objection
and the witness denied that he had changed
a $50 gold piece ON that or the following
evening. Witness, resuming his testimony
under cross-examination, admitted that he
obtained permission from Sergeant Morton
at Ferguson alley to go home before l a. m.
He did thus not report off that night and
made no mention of the money.
All the efforts of the defense being directed
to keep track of the money, some of the
questions propounded to Officer Ritch by
Appel left the line district tcross-examination
and the prosecution objected. The defense
retorted that the officer had got the money
and that it would positively prove that ne
had not turned over all of it.
Ritch said that he went about l o'clock
in the morning with Officer McLain to Cal
dera's saloon, had the bundle turned over
to him, cautioned him to be careful with
it, as it contained the evidence, but never
mentioned single word about the money
the S5060 that witness alleges he had placed
in it. McLan took the bundle and witness
never saw it again until next day. On Sun
day at ) o'clock p. m. Ritch took the bundle
from the property clerk and placed 1t IN his
own private locker in the police assembly
hall He seems to have concluded that every
BODY would understand by the statement
that he had the "outfit" that That also meant
the money taken from defendants, as he
made no specific declaration to anyone up
to the time of having the complaint drawn
up of having stated sum of money as the
proceeds of his raid.
Mr.. Appel's insnuations that the witness
had acted dishonorably became more and
more pointed as he proceeded. He asked why
he had not told Mr.. Marble, AIR. Phibbs'
partner, when he called at their office how
much money he had taken. WAS it not,
he queried, Mr.. Ritch, because you did not
know then how much of the money you had
spent and how much you still had left OF it,"
The officer denied it.
The defense offered to show by the wit
ness himself that on at least three occa-
sions be had raided Chinese places, taken

ASSOCIATION OF THE DEAF
Ninth Annual Meeting-Movement to
Establish q State School

Establish State School
The members of the Association of the
Deaf held their annual meeting in st. Paul's
guild hall Thursday evening" at which there
was a large attendance of the deaf, Norman
V. Lewis was in the chair. Lay Reader
Widd read his annual report, reviewing the
work of the past year, which has been a
prosperous and peaceful one. The services
for the deaf continue to be held in st.
Paul's guild hall, in room provided for
them by Bishop johnson and the trustees
OF St. Paufs.
Among the resolutions passed was one to
petition the legislature for a state institu-
tion for the deaf in Southern California,
which is much needed. The association has
no opposition to the oral movement inaugu-
rated in the Spring street public school for
the city deaf children who can be taught
by articulation, but it is found necessary to
provide for the children of all the counties
in the southern part of the state who are
debarred from benefiting by the oral classes.
The poor children residing in the country
need boarding school which has the com
bined system of teaching which includes
all the good points in the aural, oral and sign
language methods, as used in the large
schools in other parts of the United States,
Canada and Europe. Only the state can
provide such a school.
There is an excellent institution at Berke-
ley, which is liberaAy managed by teachers
who have grown gray in the service. The
only objection to sending children there is
the great distance, which most of the pa
rents OF the children are unable to bear, and
they do not feel inclined to send their af-
tlcted little ones SO far away If the state
built school for them in Los Angeles, or
