A New Interpreter.
There has been another change OF
interpreters in Judge De Bolt S court
Lee Lau was appointed to the place
after the passage of the bill by the las
Legislature, providing that all cour
officials and interpreters should be citi
| zens whenever possible. The bill wa
| passed for the special benefit of Willi
i Crawford, but it does not seem to b.
working out very successfully as far a
| the Crawford viewpoint is concerned
The interpreter that was in Judge D
Bolt IS court previous to the passage o
the bill, although competent and eff
cient, was forced to resign, and Lee La
was appointed. Lee was given a tria
but did not prove to be sufficiently eX
perienced to give satisfaction. As
consequence he resigned yesterday an
Farm Cornn, the Chinese attorney, wa
appointed in his stead. The salary al
tached to the position is 1925 month.
