LAY OUT WORK FOR
NEW PROSECUTOR
cITYS LEGAL DEPARTMENT is
AFTER BUSINESS FAKERs
Lack of Witnesses and Statements
Covering Past Facts Are OBJ
stacIes to Officers Under
Present Law

When City Attorney Leslie R. Hewitt
gets the prosecutors office reorganized
he will urge a study into legal sys-
tenn of gettinr rid of fraudulent realty
agents, employment agents, mine
schemes and promoters who fleece new
arrivals and under present laws can
not be reached.
The greatest abuse is that by which
advertisers sell half interest" in
tusiness which is purely speculative
the sucker being expected to bring IN
the business.
Most of the laws cover fraudulent
statements regarding present or past
facts, performances, profits, business
and the like, but there are no restrlc-
ttons as to future promises, prospects,
indications and so on. Such results are
regarded as speculative and the victim
takes chances on his own credulity.
Another loophole for frauds is that
one statute provides that fraudulent
pretense shall be corroborated Dy an
other witness. The parties who prac-
tice the game are careful to see that
there is no third party present
Officers who work on the cases are
handicapped. To win they must show
to the courts when they buck the
game" that they were innocent victims
and that they paid over money inno-
Gently.
1t is proposed that a new law be
framed by which victims can swear to
complaints, cause the arrest of frauds
and prosecute them on such proofs as
may be obtainable, the publicity in
connection with the charges doing as
much as a court fine to ruin fraudu-
lent games.

CHINESE STUDENTS
COME TO CALIFORNIA
Secretary of Imperial Board Of Educa-
ti6n Arrives in Los Angeles
to Inspect Various
Schools

Accompanied by DR.. E. c. Moore, su-
-rintendent of schools, Chintao Chen,
secretary of the imperial board of edu-
cation of Peking, China, who came
from the north on the "Owl'' train yes
terday, visited various local public
schools, among others the Polytechnic
high school. In the afternoon he went
TO Pomona college, where he will enroll
several Chinese students.
Chen is graduate of the University
of California, and was in Superintend-
ent Moores classes there two years.
In addition TO his mission of advanc-
ing government financial matters, he
also wishes to enroll Chinese students
in American institutions of learning
It is likely Southern California may
receive some of these.
Expenses alone stand in the way,
said Chen. IF they can be cut down
to an amount double what it costs in
Japan, am sure a great many would
be sent here.
The Chinese government is kindly
disposed to American ideas, and has
sent several students here"
He added that in Chinese schools the
japanese were the greatest in number
among foreign teachers, the Americans
coming next.

WALLACE THROWS BLAME
ON FIRE COMMISSIONERS
Councils Finance Committee Over.
looked Request for Fire Alarm
Boxes Made by Board
Last November

Fire commissioners yesterday decid-
ed to ask the city council to authorize
the installation of fifty hew fire alarm
boxes and to advertise for bids for
them.
Last November the fire board re-
uuested the finance committee of the
council to arrange for more alarm
boxes but the request had been lost
in the pigeon holes. There are 81
boxes in service now and at least 10C
more are needed.
Some of Councilman A. J. Wallace's
constituents nave been talking of re-
call. Commissioner Schwamm stated
because their requests for boxes were
ignored and yesterdays action came
through the suggestion of Mr.. Wallace
that the right way for the commits
sioners to do was to ask the council
for more box when they were needed
They cost $125 each.

DISCUSSED IN COURT
Case of Alleged Alien Killed by Train
at Cotton Is Taken Under
Amusement by Judge
WeIborn

The widow and three children of I.
Nagasi are suing before Judge Well
born to recover $4,000 from the Santa
Fe and Salt Lake roads.
The heirs live in Japan. Their father
was living at Riverside Cal, at the
tine of his death in collision between
a Santa Fe passenger ar I Salt Lake
freight at Cotton, March 1. 1907.
Kaneko, administrator of the estate
brought suit through Attorney Byron
Waters, who claims the treaty between
Japan and the United states gives the
people of the former nation the same
rights as native Callfornians while
they are living here. A. S. Halsted
attorney for the Salt Lake, holds the
complainants were not only aliens but
non-residents.
Judge Wellborn has asked the mat
ter be submitted in written form. He
will take it under advisement.

WOMAN sLAMEs "sPEclALIsT"
FOR HER CONDITION
CLAIMS SHE WAS BURNED AT
"BEAUTY SANlTARIUM"
Victim Swears to Complaint Charging
Man with Practicing Medicine
and Surgery Without
License

Mrs. E. Mary Rutherford of the Har-
rison apartments, Sixteenth and Cher
~ streets, accompanied by Attorney
Grant r. Bennett, called on the city
prosecuting attorney yesterday after
noon and swore to a complaint against
DR.. J. T. Harris, 1918 Lennox avenue,
charging him with practicing medicine
and surgery without a license.
According the complaint, DR.. Har-
ris operates a beauty sanitarium.
Patients at that institution are
charged S125 a week for treatment. His
method of restoring beauty, Mrs.
Rutherford says, consists of removing
the outer skin of the face with a
preparation containing caustic or
something similar.
One half of the face is treated at
a time, usually the left half. The left
eye and left half Of the mouth are
closed, the remover applied and the
patient given drug to enable her to
bear the pain caused ty the applica-
tion of the burning preparation.
lowing to the difficulty of eating
with one-half of the mouth closed,
the woman says, the patients are fed
by means of a quill, or tube. When the
outer skin from one side of the face

Board After Fakers
1--WE are after this class Of beauty
DOCTORS" said Attorney Bennett, who
is counsel for the state medical board
and is engaged in prosecuting those
engaged in the practice of medicine and
surgery without a license.
THE only persons who suffer are
those who seek to restore their lost
beauty or endeavor to become more
beautiful by undergoing treatment at
these so-caled beauty sanitariums
The medicine used to remove the skin
is of an eating nature and the pain
caused by its application is great. To
enable victims to stand the agony,
they are given drugs. This is the
worst part about 1t. These drugs soon
take such a hold upon the patients
they soon acquire the drug habit and
are ruined for life.
IF any person who has been vic
timized by these fakirs will call on
me l will prosecute the offenders to
the fullest extent of the law"
When Mrs. Rutherford appeared at
the prosecuting attorneys office, the
entire left half Of her face had the
appearance of having been burned
with a powerful acid. She was in
great pain and still suffering from the
after effects of the drug which had
been given to ease the pain of the
! treatment.
