CHINAMEN AS COMPLAINANTS.
Hip Sing and Sam kee AlIege High
xyay Robbery

Hip Sing and Sam kee Chinese laundry
men, who are in business in South WASH
ington. appeared in Judge Scotts court to-
day as witnesses against John Maryland
and Oliver Tolson, young men, who were
charged with highway robbery. Hip Sing s
face was disfigured and his left eye was
badly discolored. In addition to his having
been beaten, he claimed he had been robbed
of Sc Sergeant Dunngan and Policeman
Peck made the arrests.
The young men admitted that they had
participated in an alteration with the
Cinnamon, but denied that they robbed Hip
Sing. According to the statements of the
laundrymen they closed their places OF
business Tuesday morning about l o'clock,
and went out for d walk on Az street.
They met the defendants, they told the
court and the latter assaulted them.
San Kee said he was not knocked down,
but Hip Sing alleged that he went to the
pavement, and said one of the defendants
held him while the other took the money
from his pocket. Sing said one of the
young men had been in his laundry. he
left a shirt and collar to be done up, and
had lost his ticket.
Attorney Walker asked that the court
discharge the defendants and related his
experience while acting as prosecuting at
torney in the west, where he had many
Cinnamon to deal with.
He said his clients saw the Cinnamon
looking in window Az street, and one
Sing for a match. The Chinaman, he said,
became indignant and insulting, and the
young man struck him. Then a police
whistle was blown.
AS the case was before the court only for
a preliminary hearing Judge Scott said he
men were held for the grand jury. Bond
was fixed at 81 900.

More Space for the Grizzlies.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
l want to call the attention of the public
to- and enlist the sympathies of dnd-heart-
ed people in, the unhappy condition of the
three grizzly bears in our Zoo. l say "un-
happy" because no person can stand in
front of the dark, narrow and contracted
pens in which these large animals are In
closed without being deeply stirred with
profound pity for the restless, weary, suf-
fering bears, who, in almost constant mo-
ton, try to make apparent to the visitor
that they pine and long for at least room
enough to turn around without striking the
sides Of the wooden box.
Where is the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals that 1t does not ask
the Zoo authorities or controllers the rea-
son for incarcerating three great old mon
archs of the Rockies in such close, narrow,
wooden pens, too small Tor talr-slzeo
shepherd dog?
The contrast between the roomy, airy
cages for the lions and tigers and the in
sufficient boxes for the grizzlies is painful.
Go out one of these bright summer days
and watch the big grizzlies striking the
walls in their restless, never-ending walk
and 1t will sadden you to see the piteous,
silent appeal they make that they be given
a cage large enough to turn round in and
stand up in; and amidst the songs OF birds
and the chatter of many happy animals
you will hear the low moan OF the weary
grizzly appealing to you for better prison
cell.
Look about. commissioners! And if we
cannot give our grizzlies their own wild
west We can give them light and air and
roomy quarters, even if surrounded by iron
bars.
Although ! am a taxpayer and help the
District support the Zoo, l will gladly head
a subscription list for the benefit of the
grizzlies if the appropriation has run out. -
