CHINESE PIANO TUNER
CONVICTED OF ASSAULT
Is Accused of Trying to Murder a
Countryman in Quarrel
Over Game of
Fan Tan

Ham Sam Kay, a Chinese piano tuner,
was convicted yesterday in the superior
court on a charge of assault with intent
to murder a Chinese plumebr who
answers to the euphonious title OF 500
Hoo Fow.
Ham and 500 did not get along very
well together in Chinatown, and after a
quarrel over a game of fan tan Ham
left the place in sulks. He lay in wait
for 500 and when the latter appeared
fired several shots at him with re-
volver.
Only one shot took effect, inflicting
what at first appeared to be serious
wound but later proved to have merely
torn a few muscles in the left side of the
Mongolian.
Ham will be sentenced Saturday morn
ing by Judge Smith

ton, Iowa, gave a highly interesting
musical recital yesterday afternoon at
Cumnock hail. 1860 South Figueroa street.
The affair was under the auspices of the
Galpin Shakespeare club and the house
was crowded with an appreciate audience.
Mrs. Funck has made life study of
Shakespeare and she treated her subject
yesterday with a full understanding of
it's scope. Her pleasing personality added
color to her talk and through her agency
those quaint old songs Of Shakespeare S
were made to live and breathe again.
She described all the musical instru7

INSIST LODGINGS
MUST BE SANITARY
HEALTH BOARD GROWS STRICT
WITH RooMING HOUSES
Sxty-Five Landlords Get Permission
to Go Ahead, Having Complied
with New Regulations
Governing Hotels

Believing that the recent passage of
a lodging house, rooming house and tene-
ment law is now generally known, the
board of health has decided that it will
enforce the regulations more generally
and strictly.
Yesterday sixty-five permits to conduct
these places were granted, all of them
having been found satisfactory by Lodg-
ings Inspector Thomas West.
1t has been the practice to leave copies
of the new ordinance at these places,
then make two and three calls afterward
to see that recommendations for changes
in sanitary, plumbing, ventilation or other
arrangements are carried out.
Hereafter one visit will be paid,
changes suggested, and If after a reason
able time the improvements are not made
prosecutions will follow. Otherwise the
city will need at least three inspectors
to get around instead of the one now
serving.
1t will take Inspector West probably a
year and half to go over his route.
Begins Prosecution
Yesterday he began a prosecution
against the keeper of a Main street lodg-
ing house who has been, slow in changing
the plumbing. She continues to maintain
the place and get rentals and she will be
brought into the court. 1t appears that
she made only feeble efforts to comply
with the law.
Much of the trouble has been due to
the cost involved, as some of the build
ings have been standing for years, and
rearrangements of interiors practically
mean rebuilding.
I'VE are thinning out the bugs and
germs in the old lodging houses" said
Inspector West, land thereby are saving
much sickness and DEATH"
Application of a man on San Fernando
street who expected to put eighty men
in cots every night in a big hall where
only fifty-one cots could be placed COM
fortably was turned down by the board
of health yesterday The new law pro-
vides that there must be at least eighteen
inches of space between each cot.

An Editors Pipe Dream.

The renowned editor of the
Post, a newspaper published in
the Sunday School Gown of Dick
inson where they had a whole
Fourth of July celebration with
out a single arrest or sensation
Of any kind, has had a day dream
about the Wibaux Fourth of July
celebration and would like to
make those who read his sheet
believe that Wibaux is bad
town, filled with bold, bad men
who take especial pleasure in
shooting holes in windows as we'll
as in one another, robbing sa-
looms, etc. Now, such talk as
this is not true and when it is
published in a newspaper of such
wide circulation and influence as
the Post (even the editor Of big
magazine, Golfers, we believe,
read it once and took notice. the
public will readily see that Wi
bauX has been done an injustice
that is we'll nigh irreparable 2?
We admit that Wibaux has more
vim and western life than Dick
inson and that our celebration,
having been a success, may have
made Dickinson a little jealous,
but when the Post the big,
glorious, popular, influential Post
says that most Of the windows
on main street looked like a Dick
inson hail storm had passed
through them; and that wicked
Wibaux man shot another wick
ed Wibaux man, we object. The
facts are that the windows were
not hurt at all and that the man
who did the shooting was a deni-
zen Of the great state of North
Dakota, and therefore North Da-
kota and the Post, it's represent
ative paper, and not Montana OF
Wibaux, are responsible for the
shooting affray that occurred here,

Gte Backbone Of C1e Nation.

An eminent educator recently
said that in the great west peo-
pie know nothing of the blues,
and that they are distinguished
for brightness, energy and hope.
To the easterner unacquainted
with the west it may seem an ex-
aggerated statement, but to all
whose homes are west it is re-
garded as a calm if glowing ex-
preston Of the truth.
Today the great west and the
valley Of the Mississippi form the
backbone of the nation. It pos
sesses all that is needful for the
comfort and well-being of it's peo-
pie. It's atmosphere, vast
stretches of fertile land, great
natural resources, mighty rivers,
and unlimited possibilities com
bine to produce this enviable con-
dition. The entire region is
throbbing with that intelligent
energy that makes for true pro-
gress, therefore there is no Won
der the people are happy, cheer
full and prosperous.
! Not many years ago they were
borrowing money, for they came
with little but their skill, charac-
ter, bodily strength and deter
mination, and for a time the
struggle was keen. But all this
is changed. Farmers and ranch
ers now have money to lend, their
lands have rapidly increased in
value, and the little sod house
and lowly shack have given way
to substantial dwellings, modern
ly equipped and furnished. The
pluck, common sense and indus
try Of the people cooperating
with a bontiful nature have pro-
duced this transformation.
But it is not in matirial things
alone we speak Of this region as
the backbone of the nation. Pol
itically it is now the seat of pow.
er, and its part in shaping the
! future Of the country will be en-
ormous. The vast influx of pop
ulation results in a steady in
, crease Of representation in con
gress and in the electoral college
and that means increased inhu
, ence.
, 1t may seem daring to speak o
! the west as ahead of the east il
education, refinement and NOR
ality, yet it is true. A certail
prestige may still cling to the old
|. er portions Of the country, bu
r illiteracy is lowest in the west
$ and in almost every communit,
$ as much culture and refnemen
g may be found as elsewhere. Th
k old belief about cowboys and tn
4 wild and woody west" no longe
e exists except among the unim
$ formed.
AS an evidence Of the stron
+ moral sentiment of the west it
n sufficient to say that there tn
q great reform movement to purif
political and business life has n
ceived it's strongest support an
= gained it's greatest success.

taking the initiative step Whether
the state law is held valid or not Mr..
Wheaton will do his part to enforce
the enactment. II it fails it will be
no fault of his and he will have done

the public has for years been imposed

sold under the guse of remedies"
which should be driven out of the drug
trade. We believe that this agitation
will SO injure the sale of all patent
medicines that the manufacturers of

missioners Of the nation are now adj
vocating and which it is hoped will be
