CHINESE GO
TO COURT FOR
A DECISION

There is lots OF trouble brewing over
the affairs OF the teshouse and restaurant
at $50 Weybosset street. The establish
ment Is operated under the business namo
Of the Bung Fong Low company
The trouble is chiefly over the possession
OF a tavern license issued by the police
commissioners OF this city. As the
proprietors had a falling out they sought
the advice OF counsel. and as a result
bill In equity has been filed in the superior
court against one OF the proprietors. and
the party 20 whom the license has been
transferred by that proprietor.
1t Is recited in the bill that the com
plainants. Shun Ling Lee Hing. Low
Wing and Low Shun. all OF this city.
are aggrieved greatly at the conduct OF
Lee Lung and Charles Hing That on
April the complalnants and respondent,
Lee Lung. entered into a contract TO start
and fix up a Chinese restaurant Each
one was 10 put In $500. but Il Is claimed,
has always been "shyee" on his con
tributee.'
II was agreed that the restaurant
would be conducted under the company
name above mentioned and for fee OF
so paid TO the police commission Lee
Lung got out tavern license for the
benefit OF himself and the complainants
II being especially agreed that the II
cense though I'm his name should be for
the benefit OF ALL
on Sept llth complainants say Lee
Lung entered the restaurant and
"tookee" away the license issued by the
commissioners. II is further alleged that
some time after the sth OF September
transferred this certificate or license 10
Charles Hing
Now according 20 the regulations OF
the police commission II is simply moth
Ing doing when the license hangs not on
the wall. So the complainants recite that
they can sell nothing that is in the res
taurant and tho license taken by Lee
Lung is Of great value 10 them In the
meanwhile time is lessening the value
OF the place and fixtures according TO the
complainants. Defendants have contrant-
ly refused to give up the license or sign
transfer.
Complainants ask the court TO direct
that Lee Lung and Charles Hing be re-
strained from making any application 10
the police commission for a transfer OF
license and that Lee Lung be ordered 10
sign an application for n transfer of tho
license 10 complainants.
Citation was issued returnable tornor-
row Harry G. Curtis represents the com
plainants.

FOUR WERE BURNED
INJURED IN JAIL FIRE CARRIED TO
 HOSPITAL.
Henrietta Howard So Badly Burned She May Die-Was Held for
 Murder of Her
 Husband.

Four of the negro women, burned by the fire which broke out early yester- day morning in the Montgomery County Jail were yesterday sent to the Hale h. firmary by order of County Physician Charles T. Pollard.
 The women who it was thought nec- essary to give most careful attention are Annie Halls, Roxfe Walker. Beulah Pullen and Henrietta Howard. The last woman is seriously burned. In fact the physician has grave doubts as to her recovery. The wounds of the other women are painful but not seri- ous.
 Jailer P. M. McLemore yesterday made a rigid examination of the causes of the fire. He Is of the opinion that it originated in one of the closets in the rear of the jail just next to the cells for female prisoners. This closet is burned badly.
 Night Jailer Fabel made. an inspec- ton just before the fire broke out. He detected a peculiar odor and went back to investigate. He saw nothing and returned to the office.
 Its just one of those affairs that can't be helped" said MT. McLemore. NO one can regret 1t worse than I do."
 The damage to the jail building has not been appraised. and 1t will proba- bly not be repaired until the work of remodeling the structure begins.
 Henrietta Howard. the negress so se- verely burned, was in the jail on charge of murdering her husband few weeks ago. She has never been in- dicted.
 The prisoners had resumed their nor mai condition yesterday.
