JUDGE WARNS GRAND UNIONS.

Judge Foster. in General Sessions, who
made some pertinent remarks about find

he swore in the July Grand Jury on Wednes-

Yesterday The District Attorneys office
had recommended the dismissal Of an in
dictment for burglary against William

Assistant District Attorney Smythe rec
commended the dismissal OF the indictment
with this Endorsement:
This defendant was found in an apart
ment where he did not belong. 1t cannot
be proven that he broke in. There are
no signs that he was trying to steal. He
claims that he went ia with two boys, who
had accidentally broken a window, on see
ing a policeman coming. He says he found
the door open. The two boys corroborate
his story. There was window broken.
and nothing throws doubt on the explana
ton A reasonable doubt exists and l
recommend that the defendant be dis
charged"
lust as the Grand Jury reported at O'Clock
Judge Foster called the attention Of the
foreman, Russell d. Hyde, to the fact that
the indictment was about to be dismissed,
and said
This boy should. never have been in;
dicted, because no false keys were found
on him to contradict his explanation Of
how he came to be in the apartment. Still.
in time to come some enemy Of his may
bring UP the fact that he had been indicted
for a crime.
al call your attention to this case for the
purpose Of illustrating to you how this
bows character has been blackened by the
PREVIOUS Grand Jury which did not give
proper attention to the consideration Of
this case. 1t will also serve to direct your
attention to the great harm that may be
done by the finding Of an indictment not
supported by the evidence"

There are men from nearly every
one of the 10 provinces in China,
and a different dialect is spoken in
each. Consequently, an operator
must understand several of these
dialects, and the more of them he
can grasp the greater his efficiency.
Some of these dialects bear no
more relation to the pure Canton
csc, than does the dialect of the

English. In addition, the Operat-

at least a smattering of several

the system worked well, and a few
of the most advanced merchants
tried the experiment. About 10
years ago a station, with few tel

gradually the business increased.
"A rebular office was opened about

cation, on the southwest corner Of

the business has increased 200 per

There are about 1000 merchants,
700 of whom have telephones.
This Chinese branch of the main
office is its own central, as far as
Chinatown is concerned. If a Chi
nese wants to talk to the outside

privilege, and if a barbarian wishes
to talk to any one in the Celestial
