SMALL CHINESE CASE.
Big Sensation About Arrest of
Jason Chiu Punctured.

An abortive attempt upon the part
of a local morning paper to make a large
sensation out of very small Chinese
affair was the cause of much merriment
among federal officials yesterday. 1t was
all about the arrest of Chinese mess
boy. Jason Chiu. who slept in the city
prison for being ashore from the trans
port Solace. presumably contrary to the
orders of the collector of customs.
1t appears that Captain Winslow of
the Solace and Collector of Customs
Stackable had a discussion about allow
Captain Winslow gave in TO the collec-
tors request TO not allow them TO land.
but the executive officer of the ship did
not fully understand. Contrary TO the
captains orders he allowed Chiu to go
ashore. but did it because he thought
the order did not cover this Chinaman's
case. who claimed to be of American
birth.
Upon this information Chiu was re-
leased without the aid of habeas corpus
or any of the program laid down for the
federal authorities TO follow. Chin sim
ply left with his ship.

Into the park rushed the police. the
leather thongs on the night sticks in
place for blow striking.
They're killing me, Quick, Quick ~

The policemen made systematic
search of the green area. ending finally
in the center. The same voice called
with a mocking cadence:
Rubber, Rubber, Rubberneck.-
Slowly and YEARLY the four converxed

center. which SEEMED the source of the
voice. With an afectionate prolonya-
ton of each syllable there came in Bos-
ton accents:
