Holds State Fire Law Conflicts
With Constitution

The fourteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States played
a conspicuous part in decision rem
dered yesterday by the supreme court
in the habeas corpus appeal of e. l..
McCapes, resulting in the dismissal of
the charge of building fires without the
permission of the proper authorities
McCapes fired some brush on his own
property in order to avert the possi-
bility of fire from the explosion of
dynamite being used in blasting a well.
The supreme court held that the laws
of the state conflict in regard to the
building of fires on property, averring
that the particular statute under which
this case was instituted was in direct

SUES FOR $1,000 FOR
MARRYING A. LACROIX
Wife Says Nurseryman Broke
His Promise

A promise is a promise, says Marie
Lacroix, and having performed her pact
to marry Auguste LacroiX, a wealthy
nurseryman, she is trying to force him
to live UP to his part of the arrange
ment and pay her $4,000. Her suit for
the collection of that amount was part
ly tried by Judge Seawel yesterday.
The promise of $4,000 was made De-
cember Z, 1907. and was conditional
upon her marrying Lacroix, testified
Mrs. Lacroix. She said that She was
living at the home of Lacroix at the
time of the death of his first WIFE, La
croix told her he could not get along
without her, but she would not at first
consent to marry him. Then he dan
gled the bait of $4,000. The cash was
to be paid before marriage, but on the
morning of the day on which the cere-
mony was lemnized-December 10,
1907-Lacroix told her that owing to
the financial conditions he would not
be able to furnish the money for 80
days The result of her trust, said
Mrs Lacroix, was that she never got
the money. She is now suing for di-
vorce.
In an answer Lacroix denies promis-
ing $4,000 as condition of the mar
riage.
The trial will be resumed today.

WARRING TONGS
GIVEN ULTIMATUM
Chinese Government Threatens
Punishment of Relatives if
Trouble Continues

Vigorous prosecution here and drastic
punishment of relatives in China is
threatened the members of the Yee
family and the On Yick tong if they
do not obey the edict of the Chinese
imperial government and stop the war
which has been waged in California for
the last seven weeks. The ultimatum
was contained in telegram from
Chang Yin Tung, tile new Chinese min
lister at Washington, received here
Tuesday.
The Chinese government is prepared
to reach the long arm of its paternal
authority across the Pacific and force
obedience.
Cablegrams were received from. China
by Minister Chang instructing him to
investigate the tong war which has re-
suited in the death of 10 Chinese These
instructions were received several days
ago, and Minister Chang ordered the
local consul general to report on the
situation. Chang was told that efforts
of local Chinese businessmen to adjust
the trouble had been futile.
Lin Gang Shu, president of the Kong
Chow society, which is affiliated with
the Chinese six companies received a
telegram Tuesday from the Chinese
government at Peking. A meeting was
called for Tuesday evening, when MEM
bers of the warning factions We're to
have met in conference with the officers
of the six companies and discuss the
situation.
This meeting failed to result in any
agreement. Then President Lin stated
that it was the imperative command of
the minister at Washington that the
tong war cease.
The minister has said that he will
supply funds for the retaining of law
yers to assist the government in prose-
cutting the family that refuses to arbi-
trate.
The punishment which will be meted
out in China is perhaps feared far more
by the tongmen, as it will be the rela-
tives of the Chinese family in this
country who will be made to suffer.
Thus far the On Yick tong has been
the only family to seek peace. Three
weeks ago the peace committee decided
the matter in favor of the On Yicks
but the Yees refused to abide by the
committees decision in the matter of
dropping all. prosecutions and the pay
ing of certain sum of money.
In all probability the On Yicks and
Yees will be forced to settle their diff
ferences by the other tongs. According
to the Chinese code of ethics the On

it demanded the return of the Chine sc
girl Bo Cue, who ran away with a
member of the Yee family and who was
kept in hiding from her husband, a
member of the On Yick tong, by otl er
members of the same family. 1t was
the elopment of this girl with the Zee
tongman that brought on the war.
No matter what the two tongs nav
disagree over the other tongs knos
there will be no more murders
