TOO MUCH SLEEP
 FOR A CtIINAMAN
Testimony Which May Land Lot of Tucson Criminals in the Peniten- tiary.

At the session of the federal court just completed at Tucson, out of twen- ty-three indictments returned, United
 States Attorney J. l.. B. Alexander and
 his assistant Mir. Jones. secured twen- ty-two convictions. In the one case
 which was lost the charge was an un-
 important one and the evidence was conflicting. Most of the cases tried
 were of offenders against the United
 States statutes regarding the sale of
 liquor to Indians. smuggling and adul-
 tery. Sentence on all of those who were
 convicted will be passed by Judge
 Campbell tomorrow.
 In connection with one of the cases
 of selling liquor to Indians. a discovery
 was made by the United States attor-
 ney's office which will not only go a
 long way toward breaking up the
 practice in, the city of Tucson but may
 result in the sending of a number of Chinamen to Yuma on a charge of per jury. IL was in connection with the trial of Si Loin. prominent restaurant owner of the old Pueblo. He had been indicted on two counts and in the first instance the jury failed 10 convict. d viction was secured. It is interesting in connection with this circumstance 10 know that the first case was given to a jury on Saturday afternoon and that it was not long in coming to an agree ment that Si Loin was not guilty. The second trial was given the jury on Monday afternoon and conviction was secured. The jury did not miss it's Sunday off.
 According to the evidence adduced at the trial it had been the custom or Si Loin to serve to his Indian custom CTS liquor and as a result he had built up an extensive and lucrative trade. There was little doubt from the testi- mony that on numerous occasions liquor had been served but the claim of the willy Chinamen was that Si Loin had no knowledge of the transac- ton. No less than ten Chinamen took oath and then swore that from the first day of July until the 30th day of July St Loin had gone to his couch daily and slept from six o'clock in the until seven o'clock at night, in ! all. thirteen hours of sleep daily. with | put a single awakening. The testimo- | ny of each Chinaman was the same and | they were positive in the making of | their statements. The claims of the | government officials was that Si Loin | mad sold an Indian named Temarra | liquor during the afternoon of July 18th l some hour between noon and six o'clock | at night.

It will be contended that as he believ- ed that this offense was only technical so he supposed the punishment would be nominal consisting of not more than a fine.
 Regarding the statement made by him the day before that he knew of criminal practices by other officers or at least by one other officer, the con- stable said yesterday that he would probably make an carly revelation of his information. He was asked about this matter yesterday by Mir. Bullard but he was not ready yet to dis ulge.

A PASSENGER CAUGHT
 UNDER FALSE COLORS
The Ruse By Which the Holder of a ..Scalper's Ticket Was Detected on
 the s. p.

James F.. Bark. who lately passed over the Southern Pacific from Mari copa to Tucson. witnessed the detec- tion of the holder of a scalper's ticket. The passenger had got on the train at Yuma bound for some point in the far east The conductor was suspicious of the ticket when it was first pre- sented. He questioned the holder close ly concerning it but the man was a good buffer and the conductor could find no loop hole in his claim that he was the man whose name was writ ten on the ticket. He questioned him at different times about 1t but the passenger simulated righteous indig- nation.
 For the purposes of this story 1t may be said that the name on the ticket was John Gregory" The conductor who had never Ielinquished a purpose to get at the truth of the matter, called porter of the Pullman to his assis- tance. He put a slip of paper into a Western Union envelope and after the train had got under motion out oi Casa Grande the porter went through the car holding up the supposed tele- gram calling. "Telegram for John John Gregory" Now and then he would stop and ask a passenger if his Gregory" Now and then he reached the holder of the suspected ticket and asked him if his name was John Gregory. at the same time expos ing the bogus telegram.

That the China men perjured themselves who had been boarders at the restaurant operated by Si LOin who testified that he had serv- ed them not only one day. but many days during the month of July and at the noon meal. Arrests of the several Chinese witnesses will be made during the coming week and 1t is the inten- tion of T.. s. Attorney Alexander to prosecute them vigorously. Already there are several Chinese witnesses un- der arrest at Tombstone charged with perjury.
 The Tombstone federal court will be held beginning December 17th, when their cases will be called on December 16th. Mir. Alexander will go to Pres colt where a session of the federal court will be convened.

last year in selling goods abroad. Our

goods 10 the amount of s1,G06.O57.OCo-

ing s42GI11. 600. the latter represent
ing the balance of trade in our favor
When We consider that the United
States is comparatively in its infancy
as a nation this record is little less
than marvellous. While we sold near
" a half billion more than we bought
from abroad, Great Britain bought
