ceived anonymous threats through the
mail that unless she dismisses her Japa-
nese servant he will be shot and the milk

of a Chinaman named Kay or a japanese
who covets the position now held by Mrs
Chambers servant.
All Kay worked in the Chambers house
hold up to last Wednesday, when he was
sumrnarily dismissed He was indignant
al being discharged and muttered some
would be sorry. The following Friday

ter:
Mrs Chamber: Me you China frien Me

Mrs Chambers took the letter to the
Chinese cook at the home of Mrs. Peter
White her aunt who had recommended
Kay. He insisted that Kay had no knowl-
edge of English, and that as far as hlgh-
binders were concerned he claimed that
he would take it upon himself to see that
no harm was done the Chambers famlIy
from that source.
Mr.. Chambers, who is secretary or Clad
ding Mclean & Co. of San Francisco,
was not at home when the letter was re-
ceived and did not arrive until Saturday
He at once reported the matter to the po-
lice and every precautiOn has been taken
to prevent "Hibandas Lee from putting
