the amount of the checks, and that he
knew this to be the case.
The principal part of the defense was
the reading and the identification of the
orders issued last May detailing Neall to
the various duties which the defense al
lege finally broke his health. He was as
signed to the duty of laying out the
camps for all the troops, volunteers and
regulars, not part of the garrison of the

The activity Of Sergeant Donovan and
SQUAD in Chinatown has practically put a
stop to all fantan games at the regular
clubs. As was told exclusively in The
Call a few days ago a new scheme has
been introduced which blocks the games.
The police are now travelling around in
couples and each club is visited at least
four times an hour, If any loiterers are
found in the club rooms they are prompt

This severe discipline IS calling 10 the

bunch of gamblers taken into custody.
II was very easy TO iraw on the funds
OF the society which owned the club raid

business has been stopped for over
week the MOngolians are becoming de
spOndent and have determined to reply
70 the United States courts for relief.
It is not generally known but il is
nevertheless a fact that all the gambling
clubs in Chinatown mold charters from
the Secretary of State. many of them
dating back for twenty years or more,
exactly the same as those held by the
Pacific Union. the Bohemian or any other
white mans club. The police neither raid
nor Systematically visit the clubs OF the
white men. so the Chinese have finally
decided that they have Just as much right
TO run clubs as their lighter skinned

Dividends Had Never Been Le-

Post Exchange.
SUDDEN ENDING OF THE TRIAL
THE ACCUSED CONTRADICTET
NONE OF THE EVIDENCE.

The defense in the case against Lieu
tenant Neall has opened and closed. and
the case has been finished so far as the
taking of testimony is concerned Mr.
Thornton, NealPs attorney, promised that
his case would not take more than two
days Yesterday morning he modified this
10 one day. and then in the afternoon
he took UP the defense and finished it
within half an hour.
The defense has been foreshadowed by
the questions counsel for the defense has
been putting 70 the witness all through
the trial Neall was i'll and overworked
is the contention, but beyond that there
will also be the claim that he could not
have paid any of the unfortunate diyi-
dends which have landed him in such
peck OF trouble because they were never
legally declared. Colonel Compton testi-
fed that he refused to approve The ffi vi
dends declared for January because they
were not made out by the exchange coun-
ell or even by majority of it. Under
these circumstances the dividend could
not nave been paid is the ca.-m of the
defense; but ii is also in evidence that no
such excuse as that was ever given by
Nean for his failure 70 pay. He put ii
on the ground that ne would have to get
the Nolan checks indorsed, and this was
shown to have been but fiimsy excuse,
and those TO whom il was made brand it
as deliberate attempt at deception. De-
ception is conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, and that is the most
serious charge against Neall The mere
fact that he had no right to pay the divi-
dends, even should II be so shown, does
not mitigate the charge of deception.
The last witness was called by the
court. 1t was Captain Pratt, one of the
members of the court. who commands
Battery E of the Third Artillery. He
was called TO tell that in the beginning
of February he received a dividend of
over $50 from the post exchange paid by
Neall because Of the withdrawal of Bat

pay dividends on the ground OF the fail
