PAX CHEZ
GETS EVEN
lie Has AssaiIants
Arrested for
Gambling.

, So lung, the Chinese lawyer, stood
with Chang Chan, bland young Chi
nese who is always oil hand at the
police station with bail money when
gamblers are arrested, and anger was
clearly shown on their stolid faces. AT
the behest of PAX Chez, the police spy,
a Smith street building had been raided
and nineteen persons were arrested and
charged with gambling. Chang Chan
and PAX Chez rubbed against each other
rather roughly while the police were
making the raid and Chang Chan got
the worst of the affair. Therefore he
wanted warrant for the arrest OF PAX
Chez Chang Chan is wealthy young
Chinaman and says he will prosecute
PAX to the full extent OF the law.
1t was at this same house in Smith
street that PAX Chez received severe
beating on Thursday evening while try
ing to make a raid all alone. About ten
: O'Clock yesterday morning PAX went TO
the place with two police officers They
got into the house and trouble followed.
There were nearly fifty people present
and these made rush to escape down
stairway, An officer grabbed some
| money and other things which he claims |
had been used for gambling purposes.
PAX Chez was at the foot of the stair
way with orders to permit no one to get |
out OF the place. But mass of Chi
nesc just tumbled straight over him
and FIVE of them stayed with him OH
the stairway to scrap. Chez is said to
have given them lively drubbing and
among those who got a beating was
Chang Chan. All told, the officers cor
rallied nineteen men and took them to
the police station.
So Yung, the lawyer, protested vehe-
mently to High Sheriff Brown against
the arrest. at is shame and a pity"
he declared" that number of people
could not assemble for political meet
ing without rascally spy entering the
rooms and having them arrested for
gambling.
Some skeptic among So Yung's hear
ers asked him what the political meeting
was all about.
"Why politics of course" he replied.
Jap and Russia fight. The Chinese are
much interested i'll the outcome of the
struggle so they assemble in this room
to read the papers. They get the war
bulletins and discuss the situation. That
is politics There is no gambling. Do
not haoles meet in their clubs and dis
cuss current events?"
The High Sheriff smiled So did Will
lie Crawford. Willie had just visited
the Sheriff to secure a permit to start
a dragon on its travels from his store
at one o'clock on Monday morning. A
permit was also issued for frecrackers t
and Chinese band" to accompany the t
dragon. Willie declared that the dragon =
would first visit the streets on which
rapid transit lines run SO that the visits
to stores on those streets could be paid t
before the cars started running Monday Il
He feared that the cars >
would be scared if the dragon paraded
while they were running. He got the
permit and after declaring that he was
no longer che ia banker laughed mer-
rily at So Yung's story OF the alleged
reason for the assembling of so many
Chinese in one room at an early hour S
in the day. t
But So Yung was mad. Its -
shame that Chinese cannot assemble
without -
Without shaking dce!' added the
Sheriff.
- without being arrested for d
yambling!" finished So Young as he T
went way with Crawford to settle v
problem that had to be attended to before n
the opening of the Chinese New Year. C
Chang Chan remained with the UNI p
signed warrant in his hand He was
looking for Judge Lindsay. Chang for v
nery worked in hardware store and v
has amasscd considerable money b
Outside stood PAX Chez. Chilling Il
worth had -just handed him two dollars p
with instructions to go catchee some v
hing to eat" PAX was happy. He a
paid his respects to Chang, calling the r
after "blanked missionary" r
