Boy Was Under Age
Police Judge Wood had j. Nakashima
and Frank Mcclure before him today,
the little Jap for allowing boys under
eighteen years of age to frequent his
poolroom, and Mcclure for frequenting
the Jap's rooms. Nakashima came be-
fore the court yesterday and said that
he could not tell how old the boys
are who visit his place. The court
demanded that the boy share the pris-
oners bench as an equal laWbreaker,
and so the case went over until today.
Mcclure is the boy. 1t is said that
many young men frequent the pool
room until late at night and that the
proprietor is not as careful as he
should be. 1t cost Nakashima $40 for
his negligence in this instance, and
Mcclure was called upon to pay S.
fine for his breaking of the ordinance.
P. c. Mende, a Swiss laboring man
from San Francisco, slept in an I'M
completed building on Raymond ave-
nue. last night and was arrested for
the trespass. He explained to Judge
Wood this morning that he had come
from San Francisco to Los Angeles on
his way to visit his parents in San
Diego, and had just money enough to
pay his railroad fare to that city. From
Los Angeles he had run out to see
Pasadena, and, not having the money
for a nights lodging, had crawled into
building and gone to sleep there.
The court accepted the explanation and
set the man free. with the suggestion
that he hasten his trip southwark.
