LAUNDRYMEN
IN The TOLLS
Forget to Pay License Fees and
Fall Into 4ands of
Police.

Chinese 1aundrymen are now having
taste of the retribution which comes
to the man who does not pay his license
fees. Four serubbers of soiled linen
were yesterday arrested and booked at
the police station for nonpayment of
incenses.
Chong 10y, Wo Kee, Sun Lee and
Quen Kee are the latest victims of the
laws wrath. They were nightly as
tonished and more ehagrined when the
police descended upon them, and there
was some pretty excited jabbering at
the desk when the men were booked.
From their protestations, it was evil
dent that they did not quite under
stand the provisions of the license law,
and had the clerk been provided with
some Of the blank slips, he could have
done thriving business selling Ii
censes.
Matsubara also was taken into Gus
today for not paying his license fee.
He is a Japanese fisherman who oper-
ates sampan, and can not see why he
should pay license while the Hawai-
ian with canoe is immune.
