SAYS BAR WAS SAL TED
AND WANTS MONEY BACK
Richter Causes Arrest of
Former Hotel Keeper
of Alameda

ALAMEDA, June 19-Peter FIexel,
who until recently conducted the
American hotel at Alameda point. was
held to answer today by City Justice
r. B. Tappan to the superior court on
q charge of having obtained money
under false pretenses from Carl Rich
ter, to whom Flexel recently sold the
hotel for $500, giving the purchaser
to understand that the sale carried
with it retail liquor license Flexel
never had a liquor license while he
ran the hotel. and IL he sold any liquor
he did SO in violation of the law.
From the evidence brought out at
the preliminary examination 1t ap-
peared that Flexel caused an adver-
tisement to be inserted in a San Fran
cisco paper offering hotel and bar
for sale. Richter testified that he saw
acknowledgements and that through an
agent named Less the transfer was
negotiated. Before buying the "hotel
and bar" Richter visited the place to
satisfy himself that all was as Flexel
had represented, and when he arrived
at the place he found a large throng
drinking at the bar and another dele
cation waiting until the rush was
over to order their beverages.
Richter said that he believed Flexel
framed up the rush on the bar to
impress him. When Richter discov-
cred that the American hotel had no
retail liquor license he caused Flexef 8
arrest. Flexers bail was fixed at
$1,000 cash.

PALO ALTO MAY join
SAN MATEO COUNTY
Mayor Suggests That Town
Secede From Santa
Clara Section

PALO ALTO, June 19.-Because the
supervisors of Santa Clara county re-
fused to comply with the wishes OF the
promotion committee in aiding much
needed improvement, Mayor j. F. Park
inson suggested at a gathering last
night that Palo Alto should secede and
join forces with San Mateo county,
pointing out the small amount of at
tention the town had received at the
hands of the county of1cials. Parkin-
son told the members of the promotion
committee and others present that more
county aid was due to Palo Alto, and
that IL 1T were not offered by the
county it might not be difficult to OBJ
tain better results If the town were
annexed to San Mateo county.
The friction arose over the failure OF
the county officials TO aid in building a
road along the bank of the San Fran
cisquito creek, which marks the county
line as well as the town line of PalO
Alto. 1t Is the wish OF a majority of
Palo Altos people to have the creek
channel surveyed and dredged and a
road built to enable garbage drivers in
disposing of the refuse of the town.
The question OF secession Is one oe
long standing in the minds OF progress
sive Palo Altans. as the residence dis
trict has already reached the Santa
Clara boundary line. while on the op-
posite bank a park extending the en-
tire length of the town limits has been
donated from the Hopkins estate. To
acquire this property under the char
ter as a Santa Clara county town fs
puzzling legal minds at present and
has brought to their attention more
than ever the feasibility of changing
the towns allegiance to another county.

MRS. DON LUIS CHANG
DEF|ES HER NE|GHbORs
Says Fashionable Folk of
Berkeley Don't Worry
Her a Bit
INTENDS TO REMAIN
Declares Her Blood Is as
Blue as Most of Her
Critics Boast

BERKELEY, June 19-Defiance is
hurled without reserve by Mrs. Don
Luis Chang. the pretty American bride
of a Chinese scholar, at the neighbors
in the fashionable residence district
near the university who have an
nounced their intention of moving from
the vicinity because Mr.. and Mrs. Don
Luis Chang have taken apartments at
1928 Fulton street. She who was Miss
Dorothy Trescott and now is the bride
of an oriental informs all who may be
concerned that If the aristocratic folk
in her vicinity do not like her or her
Chinese husband they may do the next
best thing. Incidentally Dorothy Tres
cott Chang states with emphasis that
her own blood and family come pretty
nearly ranking with the best in Amer
lea and that she personally is willing
to match pedigrees with the quibblng
neighbors of Fulton street, who have
talked Of moving away because-Dor-
othy Trescott Chang and her husband
have fiat there
The American girl and her oriental
husband moved into the fiat in Fulton
street week ago, paying years rent
in advance. The white wife made the
arrangements with the real estate
agent who had the renting of the fiat
When the neighbors noted the Chinese
husband with the American bride the
babel of tongues began. Mrs. Kern, in
the fiat below, said she would move,
and the Wellborns and the Guthries
next door were quoted in similar words.
Their threats to leave do not apparent
ly excite the girl with the Chinese fus-
band. She said today:
Let theuf move IL they like That prospect
doesn't disturb me. If they do not like nv
husband or his nationality and wish to get out
that is their privilege. | shall stay. you may
be sllre We are respectable people; we demand
nothing from these neighbors who complain and
pect TO be let alone They are under no obliga-
ton TO cultivate our acqua intance and GER

marriage, because IL involved union with one
who Is of another race, oriental. But that is
altogether my own business. 1t is my business.

rights win be protected by legal force If that
should be necessary.
1t is pleasant thing to announce that all the
