Laborer Makes Contract for Job, but
Finds No Place Waiting for Him
When He Applies-Authorlti

John Kelly a stranger in the city,
appealed to the police yesterday to take
action against the employment agency
on East First street. Kelly
told the officers that he paid three
dollars for the promise of a job on
the new railroad building from Santa
Monica to Ventura. He claimed the
position which had been promised him
was not awaiting him and he was in
formed by officials that this man had
no authority to make any contract for
positions on the read.
Detective Redmond, who has had con-
siderable experience in similar cases,
advised the young man to return Mon
day and secure a complaint from City
Prosecutor Beebe.
For several months complaints have
poured into the police station of al

of several employment agencies. In
several instances the managers were
arrested and tried for obtaining money

tions were obtained. The prosecuting
attorney says that the contracts signed
by applicants for positions rendered con-
victions almost impossible.

TRAVELLER EXPLAINS
THE CHINESE BOYCOTT
EDUCATED CLASSES BEHIND THE
MOVEMENT
Hope to Bring About Conflict Between
United States and Manchuris, Says
Dramatist Frank PixIey, Recent
Visitor in Japan

Frank Pixley, the dramatist who re-
Gently returned from six months
visit to Japan, where he has made
a thorough study of its people and
customs, says that the Chinese boy
colt on American goods is one of the
most serious problems that has ever
faced this government.
While in japan Mr.. Pixley made It
a special point to learn the cause OF
the boycott on American goods and
talked to several merchants who often
travel between China and Japan.
AS a result of these interviews, MIR.
Pixey says that it is the younger and
better educated Chinese that are be-
hind the movement. The latter, de-
clares Mr.. Pixley, are desirous of in
Producing modern customs into their
country and realize that they cannot
accomplish this unless the Manchurian
rule Is overthrown.
In order to bring this about the
Chinese have declared this boycott on
American goods and the results have
proven disastrous both to Chinese and
American merchants in the orient.
1t Is not because the Chinese bear
any special grudge against the Amer
leans that they have declared boy
colt upon their goods But rather that
they lack an excuse to attack any
other nation.
'The Americans exclude us from
their territory" say the Chinese 80
we shall boycott their goods over
here"
In the opinion of Mr.. Pixley the
Chinese hope through this means to
bring about a quarrel between China
and Manchuria, under whose heel the
Chinese are being held and prevented
from making any progress.
The more educated Chinese believe
If they can bring about war between
the United States and Manchuria, the
Manchurian dynasty will be over
thrown and progress in China assured,
which the educated Chinese hope will
he based on American methods, rather
than those of any other country.
The United States secret service men
have spent considerable time in China
during the past year. hoping to un-
earth the cause for the Chinese boy
colt on American goods. The explain
alton as given by Mr.. PiXley is gen.
orally regarded as being the only
cause for it. Had China any excuse
for taking similar action against any
other nation, she no doubt would do
so, say the merchants of China. AS it
is America is the only nation that ex-
cudes the Chinese, and it is her one
ray of hope to Introduce modern
methods into commerce and govern

Special Cable to The Herald.
MONTE CARLO, May 20.-A man
calling himself Count Czaska has beei
arrested here for defrauding hotel pro-
prietors.
He pretended to be a Polish noble
man and owner of emerald mines in
Australia. He had, among other lug
gage small trunk, doubly padlocked,
of which he was careful, and which he
said contained uncut precious stones.
He was received in good society and
offered subscription of $1,000 to the
golf club, but never made any attempt
to pay the money.
Two days ago he borrowed $1,000 from
the proprietor of the hotel where he
was staying, and, having hired motor
car, went off to Toulon.
When the police examined his trunk
of precious stones they found it con-
tained several bricks wrapped up In
comic newspapers.

they were quite sure that one OF these
dates will prove to be the right one.
There can be no doubt that the world
has nearly outlived it's usefulness, the
prophets declared. The wars and earth
quakes which have afflicted it recently
are proof positive, and all that is re-

coming of the anti-Christ, who is some

He will make his first political appear

he will attack and conquer France.
Then he will extend his rule over the

There will be 10,00000O Christians IN

declare, but evidently they will not all
be equally deserving of favor, for in 1924
