HIS COURTS PROTECTION.

The British Court in Shanghai has
just given a decision against the
Shanghai Watch Club, which Judge
Whitley is accused of unfolding. The
British Court declares the concern
lottery and a swindle, and, though it
was ousted from the Philippines, the
charge is made that it is doing an inn
mense business in China under the
protection Of the American court.
The Chinese Gazette of Shanghai
has the following editorial comment
on the decision just given:
There will be little disposition, we
imagine, to question the broad justice
of the verdict given in the British
Court today in the Watch Club case,
however much we may regret the fact
that so far no one has been success
fully brought to book for that most
audacious swindle. The evidence
against the prisoner Thomas was not
of a kind that Shanghai jury would
be expected to convict upon, and it
was shown pretty conclusively during
the lengthy trial that the man in the
dock had been really more sinned
against than SHINING He was more
of a fool than a rogue, and anyway
no conspiracy was proved, while it
was conclusively shown that the
Watch Club came rapidly to it's death
in his unskilful hands. The real Gull
prits were not being tried because
they, fortunately for themselves, do
not come within the reach of the long
arm of the British law, which has an
awkward way of tripping up the clev-
crest tricksters of this character. The
trial has been a long and wearisome
one for both the jury and the Judge,
and though failing to prove his case
against the accused there is no doubt
that the learned Crown Advocate has
done well in instituting proceedings
the first moment he found any British
subject connected with the swindling
scheme by which hundreds, if not
thousands, of people all over China
have been cheated in the most bare
faced fashion out of their dollars. We
trust that the exposure means the end
of the various so-called CLUBS" now
operating from Shanghai. 1t is clearly
cup to the American" officials con-
cerned to take steps to free the Anne
rican name in Shanghai of the i'm
putation left upon it by the whole
course of the trial, particularly when
it is borne in mind that the learned
Judge expressly gives it as his OPP
inion that the Watch Club was a rot
ten and fraudulent concern from its
: inception. However readily that very
crafty individual Black may have
hitherto been able to hoodwink his
dupes, Messrs. Dooley and Thomas,
and throw dust into the public eyes,
it is quite a different matter for Mr..

LAUNDRY BILLS MAY
TAKE SUDDEN JUMP
PR0PRIETORS ENDEAV0RING
TO FORM TRUST
Employees Wages Will Be Cut, but
Public VIII Be Expected to Pay
Twenty-Five Per Cent
More

That there is danger of the price of
laundry work being raised % per cent
and the salaries and commissions Of
employees lowered at a corresponding
rate, is the opinion of a number of
proprietors of laundry shops, who say.
however, that they have not signed an
agreement to bring the laundry shops
of Los Angeles into a trust.
1t is stated that three meetings of
the men who desire to form the com
bine have been held already, and that
strong efforts are being made to com
plete the trust formation.
"a rebate of go per cent has been
offered some of our customers In order
to take the work from our drivers, ="
said j. l. Clements, proprietor of the
California laundry. "a number of the
other laundry companies have gone SO
far as to offer to do work free of charge
for two weeks in order to freeze indie
pendent companies out. If they sue
coed the price of laundry will be
raised.'
In speaking of the proposed combine
of the laundries, J. G. Deegan, secre-
tary of the California laundry, said:
81 understand that the manager of
one of the big laundries denies the re-
port that he is in the combine, but
he is at the head of the whole scheme.
Practically all the laundry companies
in the city except the Quality, the
Home, the White Swan, the California
and the Los Angeles laundries have
entered the trust
"Two years ago this same bunch
tried to stif1e Independent laundries, but
failed. Two members of the trust COM
mittee called at the California laundry
office today and asked the manage
ment If it would be willing to advance
the price of laundry rs per cent next
Monday, regardless of whether the CAL
ifornia people signed or not.
"The standard scale of wages at
present for a driver of house route
is $15 a week and commission of 7
per cent on all business over 500 which
he works up on the route. under
stand that If the trust Is formed the
salary of drivers will be cut to $40 a
week, and that the commission will be
only per cent on $50 worth of busi-
ness. In that case a driver would have
to work longer hours for less pay than
he now is receiving"

CARS COLLIDE, PASSENGER
JUMPS THROUGH WINDOW
Each Motorman Apparently Thinks He
Has Right of Way, but Fortuna
ately No One Receives
Injuries

A Santa F'e car coming from the sta
ton and a Boyle Heights car coming
west on Third street met at the inter-
section of Third street and Stephenson
avenue yesterday morning and started,
simultaneously, to continue the even
tenor of their ways up Third street
Each motorman seemed to think he
had the right of way and that the other
should have slapped on his brakes.
The two cars met at the switch, the
Boyle Heights car was slightly tipped
over and the other car drove ahead.
Just as the two bumped into each
other an incident occurred which might
have proved serious but was really
only amusing to the passengers on both
cars. Richard Knarf of Pomona be-
came to excited that he jumped through
one of the windows, alighting on his
hands and knees. He was taken to a
drug store on Third and Stephenson
avenue, where after being doctored up,
he went on his way whistling.

DRIVEN INSANE BY HER
MOTHERS SUDDEN DEATH
Daughter of Mrs. Harriet johnson,
Killed in Runaway Accident, Grows
Worse - Injured Daughter
Slightly Better

Mrs. Kate johnson, 1890 East
Twenty-first street, who became In
sane as the result of witnessing the
accident which resulted in the death of
her mother, Mrs. Harriet Johnson,
when the latter was hurled to death
in a runaway Wednesday morning, has
steadily become worse. Upon the ad-
vice of physicians she was sent to the
county hospital late yesterday after
noon to be placed in a ward for OBJ
servation as to her mental condition.
At first it was thought the unfortunate
woman soon would recover from the
hysteria following the accident. She
began to improve, but suddenly grew
worse.
Mrs. Rhoda Ostrom. 1859 East
Twenty-first street, another daughter
of the woman who was killtd, and
who herself was injured in the run
away, is at the Clara Barton hospital
whittier she was taken shortly after
the accident. Attendants at that in
stitution report the woman's condition
as slightly improved.
Members of the family have request
ed Coroner Hartwell to sign certi-
cate of accidental death in the case
of the mother.

PLAN TO DIVIDE DISTRICT
If SCHOOL SITE RETAINED
Patrons of Roosevelt Institution Be-
Iieve Such Proposition viii Result
in the Building Being Located
Centrally, as Requested


Because the trustees refused to COM
ply with a request of residents of the
Roosevelt school district to locate the
school building centrally, committee
from the neglected section of that dis
trict called at the office of the county
superintendent of schools yesterday
and procured a petition for a new dis
trict, which petition will be circulated
among the families of the district.
The committee claims the present site
of the building is inconvenient for
many children of the district, and 1t is
thought it will be easy to secure a suffi-
cient number of signatures to insure a
new district. The question will be pre-
scented to the trustees, and demand
made for a change In the location of
the building, and If the demand is not
approved, a new district may be
formed.
1t is thought such a movement will
produce the desired effect, as a division
of the district will overtax the few
families in the section in which the
school site is situated

THINK HE DIED IN CITY
SOME FORTY YEARS AGO
Astute Secretary Suggests That Old
Time Politicians May Have
Known Him, as He
Drank Heavily

Relatives of William Kindregen, who
Is supposed to have died in Los An
geles some time between 1868 and 1875,
are seeking for proof of his death, and
a letter from an attorney at New
Haven, Conn.,. asking for information.
has been referred to Secretary Love of
the board of health.
The only information given is that
Kindregen, who drank heavily and was
either a bartender or saloonkeeper, is
thought to have died in hospital. No
official records are obtainable prior to
1871, so the board of health can give
no information.
"Some of the politicians who were
active in that period ought to remem-
Der him." suggested Secretary Love,
yesterday.
