CHINESE QUIT LOS ANGELES;
JAPANESE TAKE THEIR PLACE

the United States saves $1,000 he returns
to his country with it." said L. A. Fong,
Chinese interpreter.
Some people wonder why Chinese
leaves as soon as he has saved that
amount of money, but the explanation
is easy for that thousand dollars Of
American gold represents a fortune in
China, especially if the man is of the
poorer class. With that amount of
money in his own country he can easily
buy a little home and garden patch and
live in plenty for the rest of his days,
dying like all good men of his race
at quiet with the gods and with man.
$50 as the men who came here in
their early youth save up the desired
money they return to China for a wife
and a home. Some require many years
to save up that amount for they have
a little good time as they go along and
frequently lose all their earnings in a
single night at fantan.
Buried in China
'No matter how old they grow they
always cherish the idea of returning
home so that even II they die in this
country their last money is set aside
for burial purposes and after one year S
interment in the local burying ground
their bones are taken up and sent back
home to rest beneath the sod of their
ancestors
"And as these men go, the laws of
the country forbid others to enter, so
it is goodbye to the Chinese.
"rhere are many Chinese merchants
in Los Angeles worth many times the
required thousand dollars. but they are
content to stay here with their country
men and become still weather..
"But as for the working class / have
almost given up In despair the idea OF
furnishing cooks and house boys foI

BLAMES N|EMEYER
FOR HIS HASTE
FOUND GUILTY OF SELLING
UNLICENSED LIQUOR
Superior Court Decides Against sa-
loon Keeper, Although Police
Commission Acted Irregu-
IarIy-He Will Appeal

e Notwithstanding the fact that the
superior court had decided that the po-
lice commission had acted beyond its
powers In revoking the liquor license
of Atalus Niemeyer, formerly doing
business on Central avenue, Police
Judge Chambers found Niemeyer guilty
of selling liquor without a license yes
terday, when the criminal charge came
up for a hearing.
In January the commission revoked
Niemeyer's license for "pernicious po-
litical activity" and later had the clerk
insert in the minutes that 1t was for
illegal selling of liquor.
The altered record did not restrain
the superior court from finding in
favor of Niemeyer, and it was ordered
that license for January be issued to
him.

liquor at Niemeyer's place after the IL
cense had been revoked and brought
two charges against him. One was

mine near Buffalo will have to be en-

which has been slowly burning therein
for three years. OF late this fire has

being resorted to to save their lives.
