concealed in his sleeve, Chin Wun, an
Americanized Chinaman, started out last
evening to avenge the death of Chin
Chow, who was murdered short time
ago in a gambling house kept by the no.

other Chinaman, who is known as des-
perate fellow, Chin Wun lay in wait in ST.

JURY DECLARES
CAPTAIN GUILTY
New FORK Police Official
Has to Pay a Heavy
Fine.
Charges Of Neglect of Duty
Sustained in Albany
Court.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. N.-Captain Of
Police Thomas ]. Diamond Of New York.
who was tried here on a change of venue
from New York County, was to-day found
guilty on the charge Of neglect of duty IN
having failed to suppress disorderly
houses in his precinct. He was sentenced
to pay fine of $1,000 or to be imprisoned
in the Albany County Penitentiary for
one year. The fine was paid.
The jury was out all night and look
twenty ballots, in the first of which there
were eight votes for conviction and four
for acqulttal A decision was reached at
z a. m.
In passing sentence Judge Herrick
spoke of the fact that conviction meant
to the captain that after seventeen years
as an unusually ViglIant and intelligent
of1cer he must now begin MS career IN
life anew. For the benefit or police ofn-
GERS and for the public as well the judge
maintained seeming distinction between
the punishment OF BiSSert, Captain Dta-
mOnu's Wardman, who was recently con-
y1cted OF accepting protection money
from keepers of dIsorderly houses and
sentenced to five years and six months in
State prison, and the comparatively mild
sentence imposed on the captain, that
while 1t had been supposed the latter re-
ceived a portion of the money collected
by the. wardman, no evidence in support
of that supposltIon had been adduced.
The Judge also spoke OF the fact that
disOrderly houses '-by large portion of
our community are regarded as necessary
evils IN large cities, and police officials
wink at their continuance and allow them
to violate the law as long as they do not
faunt their violations of the law before
the public. Without expressing an opin-
ion as to whether the tolerance of this
class of houses is morally right or wrong,
the court said: "It is something that is
done probably by every police official in
every large city in the State, and there is
not a police captain probably in any pre-
cinct in the city of New York or in the
city OF Albany, for that matter, that
might not be convicted for exactly the
same crime that you have been convict
ed off,
The fine was paid under protest and
Captain Diamond will appeal from the
judgment against him.
NEW YORK, Nov. N.-There is uncer-
tainty as to whether Captain Diamond
loses his place in the police department
by reason of his conviction. Commission
er Murphy said to-day that he would not
take any action until he had received q
transcript of the case and had consulted
private counsel He said that Bissert had
been convicted of felony, while Captain
Diamond had been convicted Of a misde-
meaQOr.

WATER COMPANY
MAKES PROTEST

Russell L. Dunn and William C. AL
berger who made an offer to the Board of
Supervisors to sell the Giant Gap water
supply to the city, appeared before the
public utilities committee yesterday and
through their attorney, Frank H. Gould,
raised the point that City Engineer Gruns-
ky had failed to include the supply named
in his Investigations and report on avail
able water supplies. Gould argued that
the charter specifically provides that all
the supplies must be estimated upon and
that the City Engineers omission inval-
idated the preliminary proceedings in the
matter.
Gould said he was prepared to show that
the Giant Gap supply is cheaper propo-
sition than the Tuolumne River project
which had been recommended by the City
Engineer for acquisition by the city.
1.-The Giant Gap Company, said Gould,
will sell its water rights on the north
fork of the American River in Placer
County for the sum of 50 600 600, or will
construct the water works to deliver As
100000 gallons daily and transmit 1900
"A horsepower for $17, $50, ,000."
Chairman Reed held that the Giant Gap
supply which objection obtained against
the Spring Valley Company.
City Engineer Grunsky contended Nthat
the cheaper construction of the Giant Gap
Company was owing to estimates on pipe
that would not stand the pressure. Gruns-
ky stated that his estimates on the Tu-
olumne River supply contemplated prac-
tically indestructible system.
In answer to question asked by Mayor
Phelan as to the adequacy of the Giant
Gap system Dunn said that the water
sheds aggregated 212 square miles, the
supply was more accessible and the reser-
voir capacity was enormous.
Commissioner Manson said that the Tu-
olumne River supply was superior sup
ply as to abundance and freedom of con-
tamination
The committee made no recommendation
and the. protest will be taken to the board.
The committee reported adversely to the
bill to include the repaving of accepted
streets at cost of s., 10000 in the bond
issue.
