WHITE REMOVES
CORP. JONES F ROM
CHINATOWN SQUAD
Terror of Oriental Gamblers
Is Surnmarily Relieved
When About to Perfect
Gaming Lid

Corporal of Police Jones, who for
three weeks had been in charge of the
Chinatown squad and who in that time
had made himself a terror to gamblers
and evildoers, was suddenly and sum-
marily relieved by orders of Chief
White last night, and Corporal O'Br1en
was placed in charge of the squad.
The change was entirely unexpected,
as it has been the rule to keep the
head of the Chinatown squad on the
job for three months.
Chief Whites order has raised a
great big WHY around police head
quarters and the hall of Justice. and
there are those who insinuate broadly
that the chief of police may have been
Influenced by pressure brought to bear
on him by those who have not appre-
ciated the activity of Corporal Jones'
Color is lent to this surmise by the
fact that during the last week Corporal
Jones has been busy, together with
members of the fire department. IN
taking measurements OF buildings IN
Chinatown with a view to finding out
whether provisions of the fire ordl-
naces were being violated by the own
ers and lessees. A significant fact is
that Corporal Jones, so it is reported,
expected tomorrow to condemn the ST.
IBERIA club. one of the big gambling IN
stitutions of Chinatown, and other
places where gambling is carried on.
Recently Jones made the charge that
some of the influential and rich Chi
nese were violating the fire ordinance
by keeping certain doors locked and
boted. 1t was strongly suspected that
these locks and bars were merely tc
prevent the police from raiding the
gambling places, and Jones proposed to
get rid of them in the way indica ted
Although Corporal Jones says that
he did not particularly want to be
head of the Chinatown squad, 1t Is
known that he had not asked to be

has to d remarkable extent put stop
to Chinatown gambling and to other
violations of the law in that district
and it has been known for a week or
two that some of the influential pow
ers of China town were seeking to get
rid of him.
Jones intended TO call on severa'
owners of Chinatown buildings and de-
mand of them the original plans ano
specifications of their buildings. He
expected then to make thorough eX-
animation of the buildings themselves
and find out whether they now con-
form to the plans and regulations OF

Whether he will be permitted by
Chief White to complete this work was
not stated by the chief

MEDIATION BOARD
STRIKES OBSTACLE
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Department Barred in
Trainnen's Trouble

WASHINGTON, July 19.-When the
new federal board of mediation met
today to organize and begin adjust
ment of the wage dispute between the
eastern roads and their trainmen 1t
was confronted by the discovery that
one of it's members-Assistan Secre-
tary Post of the department Of labor
was legally barred from serving.
The Newlands law provides that in
addition to the federal commissioner
the members shall be officials of the
government who have been appointed
to their original offices with the con-
ffrma tion of the senate. The assistant
secretary of labor does not come un-
der this classification.
President Wilson's attention was
called to the oversight and word came
from the White House that while some
one would be appointed in Mr.. Post S
stead the situation did not embarrass
the board, as the law provided that the
president shall appoint in addition to
commissioner and an assistant mot
more than two" such officers. Under
that construction the appointment of
another member seems to be optional
with the president.
Commissioner William Lea Cham
bers Assistant Commissioner Hanger
and Judge Martin Knapp, the other
members OF the board. received urgent
requests from the railroads and the
tranmen to begin work.
Later 1t was announced that Com
missioner Chambers. Assistant Com
missioner Hanger and Judge Knapp
would go to New York tomorrow and
begin their work with the trainmen
and the railroads Monday morning.
Late today Secretary Wilson went to
the capitol to urge on the senate com
mittee on education and labor, to
which the nominations of Chambers
and Hanger have been referred. the
urgency of immediate confirmation.

the city, but poll of the committee

TUNNEL
REPORT IS DUE
Owners of Tracts Interested
Preparing for a Renewal
of Activity

With the return of City Engineer
OShaughnessy from Washington,
where he has been working on the
Hetch Hetchy bill before congress, the
long delayed report on the Twin Peaks
tunnel project is being whipped into
shape.
This report which will solve one of
the greatest engineering feats ever
undertaken by the city, will be ready
In a week or two for submission to
the lands and tunnels committee Of
the board of supervisors. Its approval
and compliance with the formalities
incident to the beginning of actual
construction is expected to start q
great boom in the restricted residence
park areas on the western slope of
the peaks
The real estate firms handling these
tracts have prepared for a season of
activity in the late summer and fall.
The street work, paving, laying OF
sewers, parking and plating has either
been finished or is rapidly advancing.
In 1ngleside terraces many handsome
homes have already been built and
others are projected. An expensive
home is being erected in st. Francis
Wood. In Forest Hill the construction
of four large dwellings, the first in
this subdivision, will begin next
Monday. Parkside has also taken on a
new, metropolitan dress.
San Franciscans are beginning to
awaken to the possibilities of this re-
| gion and its scenic wonders. Their
appreciation has been sharpened by
the comments OF visitors to the city.

pected to engage in the real estate
business in San Diego, but after trav-
cling thru that part Of California he
concluded to return to Minot.
"South from San Francisco, the
country is very sandy and AL this talk
about fine orchards, ETC., is joke"
Mr.. Lyman stated. There are few
trees in that vicinity, except along
the valleys and l can't say that / saw
many fine fruit orchards in that par
ticular locality. The farmers are adj
vised to diversity, grow stock, but !
don't know what in the world they
would feed their stock. In my opin-
ion they can make ten times more by
diversifying right here in North Da-
kota. I've got to have faith in any
proposition before can make sue
cess, and couldn't honestly recon-
mend this land to anybody at any
price. l expect to buy and sell my

not see half as many autos in any city
