Under the heading Of Wants
Wider Field" the following ap-
peaTed in Sundays Times Dispatch
in regard TO Richmond College with
drawing from the Eastern Collegiate
Association:
Ri ichmond College AthleticAs-
socistion will hold a special meeting
next Wednesday in the college chap
e. 20 determine whether il shall with
draw from the Eastern Collegiate
Association Of the smaller colleges Of
the State.
Alta meeting held last fall It was
proposed that a Withdrawal be con
sidered and any definite action be
postponed until a later date. The
plan at that time was in little favor
with many of the students and was
throught very unlikely TO pass.
No definite reasons were given
and It appears that the local institu-
ton expects TO be out of the class
Of the present colleges in the league
with the coming growth and rebuild !
ing. by which the Richmond |
teams VIII be placed in the rank oil
the larger colleges of the State.
The decision can hardly come
any too soon. as the schedules are
completed for the remainder of the
season and the football rates will |
soon be taken under consideration
for next fall.
A withdrawal would also mean
the loss of the interesting champion
ship contests that have drawn a
good following in this city. and
Which have been noted for their
;lean playing and good spirit"
The article states that no definite
edSOnS nave been given for the
move, but that Richmond College
expects to be placed in the rank of

las OF course perfect right so far
IS we know. to withdraw from the
eague. but we do not see where any
ietinIte reasons for doing so can be

history in athletics certainly does

'hange. In fact during the past

BLOWS OUT GAS AND
DEATH MAY RESULT
RANCHER is OVERCOME BY
NOXIOUS FUMES
Found in Room of Lodging House.
No Reason for Attempt at Sui
cide-StiIl in Comatose
Condition

With the doors and windows of his
room tightly closed and bolted and
the gas jet wide open and the room full
of the poisonous gas, b. d. Hall, sup
posed to be a rancher from the San
Dimas district, was found by :; cham
bermaid in a rooming house at 135
South Main street yesterday. He was
lying on the bed partly dressed. He
was in an unconscious condition and
his face was distorted as if he were
suffering greatly. The police ambu-
lance was summoned and the unfOrtu-
nate man taken to the receiving hos
pital. All efforts to restore him to con-
seriousness were futile, and late last
night he was still in a comatose state.
Little is known about the man. He
appeared at the rooming house at mid
night Thursday and engaged a room
for one night. Yesterday morning the
chambermaid attempted to enter the
room to clean up. She found the door
locked and decided the man was asleep.
At noon, when she failed to receive
any response to her raps on the door,
she forced a window and was almost
overcome by the gas that rushed ia
her face.
It is not known whether or not Hall
attempted suicide. There was nothing
on his person that would throw any
light on the matter. and there was
nothing left in the room. When he was
found there was a bottle partly filled
with whisky on the bed near him. 1t
is believed he inadvertently blew out
the gas just before retiring.
He is in a serious condition and may
die

TENDERS CHECK
TO BUY SALOON
PAPER SUSPECTED; ARRESTED
FOR DRUNKENNESS
HELD TO EXPLAIN BANKING
BUSINESS
Former Operations That Were Mys=
teriousIy Righted Cause Police to
Investigate Record of
Prisoner

After passing checks ranging in
amount from $4,000 to IS which are re-
garded with suspicion by their holders
and the police, j. c. Sandstrom, who
came here recently from Portland,
Ore, is under arrest, but only on a
charge of drunkenness.
On this charge placed against him by
Detectives Hawley and Mckenzie he
will be held until his check operations
can be investigated to learn whether
they are criminal.
Sandstrom was arrested in Los An
geles on December TO- charged with
passing fictitious checks. The arrest
was made by Patrolman Rosso,. but
before any action was tken in the
courts the check deals were closed up
in some mysterious manner and Sand
strom got off with a sentence Of ten
days in Jail on a charge Of drunken
ness.
Yesterday he was arrested after he
kad purchased a suit of clothes from
Henry Cline, for which he gave a
check for $23 drawn on the First Ma
tional bank of Los Angeles and had
also purchased the saloon Of T. l..
Johnson at 213 North Main street for
SIS, 900, paying down a check drawn on
the National Bank of POrtlnd for $4,000,
the balance to be forthcoming when
the papers of transfer had been signed
up.
Sandstrom had been in the process
Of buying the Johnson saloon for sew
eral days. He is said to have been
the most liberal customer the place
had, all at Johnson's expense, but
everything was seemingly all right
when he paid over the $500 check.
When his previous check operations
were learned the bank at Portland was
wired for information. In the mean
time a score or more of small checks
came to light and it WIS thought best
to lock Sandstrom up until his banking
business was explained. He was
booked on a charge of drunkenness.

CHARITY WOOD YARD
SOON TO Be OPENED
WORK WILL BE GIVEN ALL
WHO APPLY
Those Who Show Themselves Willing
and Capable Will Be Recon-
mended by Free Employ
ment Bureau

The woodward for employment of
needy men, which will be under the
auspices of the charity conference and
the immediate supervision of Rev. T.
G. Marshall, Episcopal city missionary,
is expected to be opened Monday at
the corner of Ninth and Wilson streets,
adjoining the NeighbOrhood settlement.
A carload Of wood from Arizona was
expected for this work, but has been
delayed in shipment, and local supplies;
will be secured in sufficient quantities
to keep the men who apply for work
employed until the large consignment
is received. which is expected in about
a week.
A storeroom has been rented where
cots will be arranged for twelve men.
Arrangements have been made for
meals at nearby restaurant, the plan
being to put ablebodied needy men at

with the woodward.
Each man will be credited according

ing, and all remaining over his meals
and lodging will be credited to him

be given lodging if employment is not
secured before he leaves the wood
yard.
Already Rev. Mr.. Marshall has Sc
cured the promise of two large con-
Germs to take all men who are recon-
mended for employment
This plan will be tried as a solution
for the unemployed problem, and it is
expected to prove successful. Rev. Mr..
Marshall will have general supervision.

DEATH OF CHINESE
WOMAN PERPLEXlNG
CELESTIALS DISAGREE OVER
PROPER RITES
Undertakers Not Permitted to Take
Body Away for Treatment,
but Must EmbaIm in
Home

Chinese funeral services will be held
over the body of Wong Gin Shee, one
of the first Chinese women to die in
Los Angeles for many years, at her
home in Chinatown. The woman was
the wife of a prominent Chinese mer-
chant, who conducts a store at AL
Apablasa street.
Not for long time have the Chi
nese been so perpleXed as they are
over the arrangement for the proper
religious services. According to. those
who are familiar with the Chinese GUS
toms the ceremony incident to the
burial of the women is entir, ly differ
ent from that of the men, and is rigid
ly enforced.
Because of there having been no
deaths among the female population of
Chinatown for number of years sew
eral minor details in the service are
interpreted differently by those in
charge of arrangements, and much
discussion has resulted 1t is believed
the disputants will leave the matter
to the temple priest for settlement.
One of the first differences was dis
covered when the undertakers arrived
for the body. The men were preparing
to take the body to their parlors when
they were told by the husband the body
could not be moved. He then explained
that In the death of women it was nee
eSSary for the undertakes to do the
work at the home of the deceased.
The undertakers were assisted by a
Chinese and certain rites were per-
formed while the body was being
dressed. Strange ceremonies were con-
Quoted in the death chamber yesterday,
and the body will be inferred in the
Chinese cemetery this afternoon.
George zee, first lieutenant of the
Chinese imperial army of Los Angeles,
of 521 Apablasa street, who died of tu-
berculosis at the county hospital
Thursday, will be buried Monday after
noon in the Chinese cemetery. The flu
neral services will be after the Chi
nese custom, it is thought, and will
be held at the chapel of the J. D. But
ton. Undertaking company
