BoycOrt Failed.

Consul General Simm ,ns at New
Chwang has reported to the state de-
partm ,nt as follows in regard to the
progress of the anti-American boycott
IN China: In regard to the at
tempted boycott made to arouse a
feeling of hostility to American goods,
I have the honor and pleasure to re-
port that the movement has been a
failure. Several attempts have been
made to organize the anti-American
sentiment, but each meeting resulted
in stronger declaration In opposition
to interfering with the sale OF Ameri-
can goods. a number OF leading Chi
nese merchants assured me that they
would have nothing to do with
movement to boycott American goods
and they advised their friends to re-
frain from agitatiDg the subject. !"

The operations Of the gang were
uIearthed largely through the efcrt:
OF Attorney B=Djamin Franklin anl

ber OF marriages Of the "Wi:zhof'
order have taken place among the
district, and through Mrs Rosen berg,
client, be discovered that nine OF
these girls had been married to Witt
b # under various names.
Attorney Franklin accompanied an
American" reporter on tou: Of the
East Side to investigate the report
made by Mrs. Rosenberg, and an
amazing condition OF things was dis
covered.
''There is not the slightest doubt, "
said Attorney Franklin, in the on1ce
of the American" after the inVesti.
gation that had been made through
the Jewish quarter, that the gang
has been operating for more than ten
years. Witzacf joined it more than
five years ago and became leader.
The gang now hcljs the district para
lyzed with fear, and undoubtedly has
victimiZsd above !, 900 girls.
Il believe that we will be able to
find large number Of the women who
have been married by Witzhoff, Kauf-
man and the others, but the difficulty
OF getting direct testimony, from even
the people who have been swindled, is
understood only by those who are
familiar with the resi- tents Of the dis
tricu aud their reluctance to air their
Trouble in court.
And might say thatthe marriage
OF these girls to these men, and their
desertion, is the greatest shame that
car be put upon a family; therefore
you can readily understand why it is
that these families pocket their losses
and suffer in silence"

to our ability to do so.
Now We would like to know where
be draws the distinction between a
little social game OF cards that is not
disturbing any one and betting on an
Intercollegiate game Of baseball, right
out in the open, OF possibly he and his
7igilant policemen did not know such
thing was going on the past summer.
Is a social game Of cards more heinous
in his sight than bucket shop where
a man can go and gamble on the mar

before he can turn down the steps.
"And has he not licensed the buck

so much per year and does he not
know that gambling is going on there
every day On a large scale, and does
he consider that right and proper.
Does be consider this right and lit

must make an eavesdropper cut Of his

YELLOW JOURNALISM
DISCUSSED BY WOMEN
EbeII Club Members Handle Why's and
Wherefores of SensationaIism
Of Newspapers

''If we don't want yellow journals
let us demand the other kind" was the
statement of Mrs. ]. c. Mccoy, speak
ing before the Ebell club yesterday
on the subject, 1.-THE Effect of the
Newspaper on Literary taste"
1t was a literary symposium which
the members listened to and the tend
ency of modern literature, what it is
and why, was discussed from many
under the direction of Mrs.
w. G. Bartlett.
In speaking of the effect of news
paper work on the person who has lit
erary talent, Mrs. Mccoy quoted from
letters written to her by Robert ].
Burdette and Francis Fisher Brown.
Though the two men agree on some
points, they differ on others, giving
views directly opposite. Mr.. Burdette
says in his opinion it is almost essen
tial for a writer who would make a
success to have newspaper training,
while Mr.. Brown expressed the opin-
ion that many who might become great
in literature have their careers spoiled
by drudgery in a newspaper Office.

AQUATIC BATTLE IS
AIRED IN POLICE COURT
EXCITING AND NOVEL DUEL ENDS
WITH HoNoRs EVEN
Judge Chambers, as Referee, Declares
It Draw, and Refuse Arbitrament
of California Code, Since Parties
Were Ready to Continue

Some of the unpleasant episodes
which very often occur between un-
congenial neighbors were graphically
related in Judge Chambers court yes
terday morning, when Augusta Nilsson
told his honor how she had been nearly
drowned by John Heyman, who. she
says, threw bucket of water on her.
The evidence of the case disclosed
that as Mr.. Heyman was sitting on the
top rail of his fence which separates
the two yards he accidentally"
dropped bucket of water upon the
head of his fair neighbor. 1t Gust so
happened that as the bucket fell Mrs.
Milson was sprinkling her garden.
Thoroughly surprised by the unex-
pected downpour from the cloudless
heavens, Mrs. Nilsson turned around
and at the same time unconsciously
turned her hose in the direction Of the
unsuspecting Mr.. Heyman.
The stream struck him squarely in
the face, nearly knocking him from his
lofty position.
Mrs. Nilsson was so surprised that
she stood awe stricken, unable to move
or speak, while the wicked stream
laughingly played in and around the
whiskers of the unhappy Heyman.
Mr.. Heyman stated that he had often
been annoyed by certain noises that
issued from the home of his neighbor
and in the hope Of restoring peace In
the neighborhood he posted a large
glaring sign upon his fence. facing Mrs.
Wilson's house, which read "Give us
a rest" The court dismissed the case.

PECULIAR EXPERIENCE
Mrs. Miriam E. Glass Alleges Spouse
Took $4,000 Of Her Money After the
Wedding to Travel in Europe and
Has Not Yet Returned

A divorce case, the like of which has
seldom been heard in the local courts,
was brought up yesterday before Judge
Conrey, when motion for attorneys
fees was instituted in the petition of
Mrs. Miriam E. Glass against Neil
Glass.
The couple were married in 1901. The
wife is over 70 years and the husband
over 81. According to the allegation of
Mrs. Glass. her husband, who was a
blacksmith, took nearly $4,000 of her
money. following the wedding and went
on his honeymoon trip through Europe.
He has not yet returned, but has
heard of the petition of his wife and
has contested the action. He will ar

during the coming race meet. which
win last from July 9 to 9, has aroused
many inquiries.
City Attorney Mathews stated in an
swer to questions: This ordinance will
have the effect, legally, OF amending the
laws governing the number of saloons
to be allowed in the city. and also the
rule bounding the liquor zone. Agricul-
tural park e away outside this so
called liquor zone
"The council has the power to change
the law relative to these two points,
but has no authority to issue a license
to sell liquor. That power is vested
solely I'm the police commission by the
charter, and the license or permit to
dispense liquor must come from that
body"
Mayor McAleer states that, as Agri-
cultural park is outside the "liquor
zone" the police commission has no
authority over the granting of licenses
there.

IDENTITY DISCOVERED WHEN

Azusa Officer Turns "John Doe" Over
to County officials, Who Ascertain
She Is "susle Doe" Instead, Al
though Gibberlsh Is Uninte lllglbIe

A woman in disguise was arrested by
officers at Azusa on vagrancy charge
and brought to the Los Angeles county
jail. When arrested 1t was supposed
that the prisoner was a young Indian
boy, but investigation at the county
jail revealed the disguised identity Of
Miss Pocahontas, and instead of John
Doe, as she was originally listed on the
prison records, she is now known az
Susie Doe. Susie is uneducated and the
officers were unable to make out the
gibberish slung at them when she at
tempted to pronounce her name.
