That Ling Young, a Chinese restau-

that his sprinting powers are highly
developed and that George AtWell ne

after an impromptu Marathon race
about the dining room.
AtWell entered the restaurant con-

and asked for u free meal. The Chlnese
in his most polite pigeon English an
nounced that because of the hlgh price
of meat he was compelled to charge d
small sum for each meal served. At
we'll replied that he did not care par
ticularly for an order of steak or roast,
and would consider it favor il Ling
would bring in a large bowl Of choice
noodles. Again Ling refused, and gave
as his reason for not furnishing free
noodles that the eggs he used IN pre-
pairing the delicacy cost 30 cents a doz-
en-, and then with politeness told AtWeli
that the free list had been suspended
and ordered the latter from the place.
AtWell who had anticipated full
meal became angry when he was or
dered to get out. He drew hunting
knife and started after the Chlnese.
Ling lodged around table, anG then

path of his pursuer, and on each occa-

gained his feet SO quickly that Ling

moned two policemen, who were COM

box.
After he was booked at the central
station on a charge of assault with
deadly weapon the accused was taken
into the receiving hospital, where the
police surgeons dressed several small
decorations on the face Of the prisoner.
Later Atwell was arraigned in police

a deadly weapon in rude and threat
ening manner. Atwell asked for time
to plead, and he will appear in court
today. He was unable to furnish $500

MAN KILLED BY TROLLEY
CAR AT COMPTON CROSSING
Steps in Front of Long Beach Car and
Is Dragged to His
Death

While attempting to cross the Pa
cific Electric tracks at the Myrrh street
crossing at Compton yesterday r. H.
Wilson of Compton, 50 years old, was
struck by an inbound Long Beach car,
dragged a considerable distance and
horribly mangled. He was placed on
board the car that killed him and
brought to Los Angeles and taken to
the undertaking establishment of Bre-
see Brothers.
No one, it seems, knows exactly just
how the accident happened. 1t is
thought Wilson was unaware of the
proximity of the car and stepped be-
tween the rails directly in front of
the inbound Long Beach car which, it
is said, was running at a high rate of
speed. He was caught under the for
ward truck, dragged more than 100
feet, when his body became olsen
gagged and the wheels passed over him
He was a member of the Masonic
fraternity.

TRIO ACQUITTED
IN SECOND TRIAL
JURY RETURNS VERDICT FOR
GREENE AND COMPANIONS
CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY CHARGE
NOT sUBSTANTlATED
Judgment of Conviction in Prior Hear
ing Set Aside Because of
Error in Returning
Verdict

After celebrating for short time,
the jury in Police Judge Roses court
in the case of Dolph NJ. Greene, r.
e. Ivett and Harry c.. Conner charged
with criminal conspiracy to defraud
J. H. Umberger out of $3.50 by selling
him a half interest in a garage, re
turned a verdict of not guilty.
This is the second trial of the trio.
The first trial, held a short time ago,
resulted in a verdict of guilty. on
the day set for their sentence, coun-
sci for the defendants entered ob1ec-
tions to the passing of sentence and
moved for dismissal on the grounds
that the verdict was Illegal because it
was returned February p, a holiday
and because it was delivered to the
bailiff instead Of to the clerk of court
Judge Rose took the matter under ad-
visement and agreed an error had
been committed because the verdict
was given to the bailff.
The strongest testimony in the first
case was that of Edwin J. Yates, who
testified to an alleged conversation he
had with IVett, during which the lat
ter is said to have confessed to hav-
ing made a regular business of 'feec-
ing suckers" and that he had made
considerable money as the result Of
selling half interests in various busi-
ness enterprises to gullible persons
who had money to invest.
In the first trial Deputy District
Attorney Arthur Veitch made a hard
fight and succeeded in introducing the
testimony of Yates over the objection
of the defense.
In the trial which terminated yester-
day Attorney Frank Dominguez OBJ
jected to the testimony of Yates and
contended that even if Yates did have
a conversation with Ivett and the lat
ter made the admissions accredited
him the testimony of the witness was
irrelevant because it tended to preju-
dice the interests of the other two
accused. Judge Rose sustained the
objection and ordered the testimony of
Yates stricken from the records.
Despite the fact the testimony was
not admitted Attorney Veitch fought
the case at every step. He brought
out the fact that several days after
Mr.. Umberger had paid $3.50 for a
half interest in the garage, IVett or
dered him away from the place and
that Umberger finally had to part
with his share for $50 when Ivett
threatened to have the rent raised to
an eXorbitant sum-.

Mr.. Virgins last night. Despite the
fact of their comparatively small popu-
lation. that section of the state, so long
dormant as to growth, is at last on the
move"
Several hundred members of the
chamber of commerce probably will go
on the excursion. and every effort is
being made to make it successful.

Americans And Avarice.

The charge is often made, at home
as well as abroad, that Americans
are money mad; and of course there
is ample ground for the accusation.
There is likewise ground for the
broader assertion that the whole
world is afflicted now and has always
been afflicted with the same madness.
The Spanish invaders were wild
in their search for gold; and the
same may be said of all invaders,
even from the beginning, since gold
was found to be precious.
The enormous sums claimed by the
rulers and dignitaries of the Old
World evidenced a greed for gold
quite equal to that which we have
developed; and there is a tone that
is funny in the criticisms of Ameri-
can avarice by the thrifty keepers of
pensions, restaurants and hotels, and
by relic peddlers and various schools
of professional swindlers and beggars
in other countries, and even by i'm
ported lecturers who actually dilate
over our avarice in cheap lectures
for which We have paid them fancy
price!
We are an avarieious people, to be
sure, but it Is just as well to add that
avarice is worldwide ailment and
always has been such. There are
victims of avarice to be found every
where, as well as few men and
women who are not So greedy. The
love of money is the same sort of
root the world over.-Dallas News.

Superstitious Stage Folk.

Theatrical people are proverbially
superstitious. I know of one great
actress who never goes on the stage
without first crossing herself to i'll
sure good luck. Some of our great.
est stars would perhaps retire from
the stage if they should lose the
horseshoe which is nailed to the lid
Of one of their trunks, and could not
get another.
Mrs. Leslie Carter always raps
three times on the wings before walk
ing on the stage, and she thinks this
precaution will Danish all evil in
fluences. When Mary Anderson was
on the stage she never dared to peep
through the curtain while the house
was filling. Many theatrical people
constantly carry around with them
for luck "the left hind foot Of a
graveyard rabbit killed by the light

Don't rinse laces in blued water un-
der a mistaken notion that it will i'm

milk, which will give a soft, creamy
color.
The easiest way to clean a cereal
cooker is to turn it upside down in a
pan of boiling water and steam it uE-
til the mass is soft and loosened from
the sides of the pan.
To remove the skin from almonds,
put them in small pan of boiling
water, let them boil for one minute,
strain them from the water. and they
will then easily slip out of their skins.
Do not throw away discarded UNI
useful for stalking chyrsanthemums
or other plants. Raffia is better than
string for tying up the plants.
For sweet afternoon sandwiches,
grind fine an equal quantity of raisins
and nuts and moisten with whipped
cream. Spread between very thin
slices of white or brown bread.
The cheap grade of almonds with
hard shells are quite as good as the
better almonds for sailing. They are
no more trouble to prepare if nut.

R;shOn Routs A Boaster.

On one occasion, when travelling
along the West Coast of Africa with
an old skipper who had known many

taunting questions, such as "What
was the good of spouting at Exeter

aries know, anyway"
At last the Bishop could stand i
no longer. Turning to the skipper
he said: 81 know you are an expert

depends on the alligator
Very well then, say an alligator
Is feet long. What would be the
length of its tongue?"
Three feet" was the answer.
But the Bishop, who had KEEP
alligators and watched their ways
knew better. "It is evident that vol

What is the farthest limit to

Power in his book, "The Eye and

the Arabs call it the Test Star. 1t
is most exceptional to be able to
see Jupiter's satellites with the nak-

recorded, the third satellite being
the most distinct. Peruvians are
