Last of a Bad Gang

WITH the plea of guilty entered yesterday
w before Judge Ashford by Paul H. Boggs
the last of quartette OF bad men, only awaits
the passing of sentence to be behind the penteh-
tiary bars, no longer menace to the community,
lack Scully, Bert Bowers, J. McGrath and Paul
n. Boggs have. run their course in crime for
some years to come, and what has been proven
to be the most violent gang of criminals I'M
covered in this community for many years is
thing of the past '.
Credit for the completeness with which this
gang has been run to earth, caught and convicted
rests in the city attorneys department, the cases
having been turned over at the beginning to
Assistant City Attorney Brown and Assistant
City Attorney Chillingworth, who had co-operat-
ing with them as the, private attorney Of some
of the robbed Cinnamon, R. w. Breckons whose
knowledge of Chinese matters proved invaluable
in sitting out the wheat from the chatf in the
statements of the victims of the opium badger
game
SO complete was the case prepared against
these doube-crossing highwaymen that the three
leaders-Bowers, McGrath and Boggs-have
made court defenses q Each has plead guilty
for whatever benefit such plea may bring in
mitigation Of sentence.
Comment has been heard on the fact that
leniency has been promised. to Scully as the price
LOT his squeal, many finding it difficult to under
stand why a degree OF immunity SHOulu De
pledged after he had been convicted in the one
trial fought out, that of Scuy and H. B. Lewis.
Those who have been on the inside of the case as
it developed for the prosecution, however, appre-
ciate that it is extremely unlikely if the trials Of
Bowers and Boggs on the majo crime of first
degree robbery would have resulted in convic-
tons without the evidence which Scully has stood
ready to supply Bowers and Boggs are the two
men who carried out in the various coups of the
gang the actual robbing of the victims, and they
were always disguised and masked when the time
for the gun plays arrived. The Chinese victims
of the gang were unable positively to identity
this precious pair. Scully alone was able to
establish Identification, with his wife to cor
robOrate it.
1t is matter, OF congratulation that this gang
has been caught and every member OF it con-
vcted 1t is worthy of note, too, that but for the
fact that the robbers had sense of humor out
running their sense of caution they would not
have been run down as soon as they were Prob
ably they would have been footloose today.
Their initial error was in dumping some of their
victims at the customs, house and telling them
to stay there under arrest. Had the Chinese been
left anywhere else, with the knowledge that they
themselves had been engaged in an illegal trans
action, they would probably never have made
the revelations which first put the authorities
upon the right track. For the sake of their lit
tie joke Scully, Bowers, McGrath, Boggs and
Lewis preparing themselves for the
stripes they deserve

BLOCKADE IS ILLEGAL /?
WILSON TO DEMAND RIGHT TO
TRADE WITH GERMANY.
Seeks Freedom of cargoes-HoIds
Noncontraband Goods Are Not
Subject to Seizure.

Washington, June 1.-THE new
American note to Great Britain on the
rights of neutral commerce will make
the same demand of that government
that the United States has already
made to Germany-namely, that she
shall adhere to the recognized princi-
pies of international law in her treat
ment Of American citizens and their
property.
The state department is now en-
gagged in preparing data for the use
of the president and Secretary of
State Lansing In the construction of
the note to Great Britain. The note
will soon be ready for dispatch to Lon
don.
While reiterating its earlier state
ment that this government might be
ready to admit that the old form of
'sclose" blockade is no longer practi-
cable, the note will maintain, on two
points, that Great Britain's present
method of blockade is illegal. These
points will be:
That Great Britain can find no war
rant in international law for extend
ing her blockade to the ports of neu-
trail countries adjoining the enemy
territory.
That her blockade does not operate
against traffic between Scandinavian
and Danish ports and Germany is,
therefore, in violation of international
law, which holds that blockade
must apply to all countries alike.
The note will then indicate the
practices of Great Britain with re-
gard to American commerce, which 1t
regards as direct violation of interna-
tional law.
This government will state its un-
Outstanding of the law to be that non
contraband, even If bound for an
enemy port, is not subject to interior
ence unless legal blockade Is main
tanned; that contraband, if destined
for the territory of the enemy, is sub
ject to seizure, and that conditional
or relative contraband is subject to
seizure If intended to be used by the
enemy government, but is not subject
to interference, beyond examination,
if intended for the civil population.
Great Britain's claim that she is
prepared to pay for these cargoes at
the price in which the contracts were
made will be answered by the state
ment that she has no legal right to
compel American owners of goods to
sell to her.

Shooting Civilians.

According to the laws of war, any
civilian who is found with arms in
his possession is liable to be shot
without mercy Although this seems
a very severe rule, it is absolutely nee
essary for the safeguarding of the
whole civil population.
The rules of war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants un-
less they wear a distinguishing badge,
which can be easily recognized. If 1t
were not for this, any number of men
could at any time band themselves
together, and say they were beIliger-
ents. If this were allowed, therefore,
invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing
every man in villages through which
they marched.
This particular rule is so stringent
that even noncombatant who took
up arms to defend his wife against
some drunken soldier would be liable
to be shot

One of the many duties undertaken
by the United States coast and geo.
detic survey, which furnishes official
information about our sea coast and
harbors for the use of mariners plying
these waters, is that of predicting the
tides at any given station at any time
in the future To gain this informa-
ton a new machine of very compli-
Gated nature has just been constructed
by the bureau and placed in operation
in the headquarters at Washington
The tide levels for year can be OBJ
tanned in from ten to fifteen hours for
any station. To the layman the ma
chine appears to be mass of little
wheels, knobs, cranks, chains and
glittering brass indicators, but the
new superintendent of the bureau, DR..
E. Lester Jones, explains the functions
of each part and finally arrives at the
roll of paper on one end on which two
fountain pens are drawing lines. One
of these draws line about the middle
of the roll which represents the mean
sea level while the the other draws a
varying line which represents the
tide. From this graphic record,
which is $40 feet long and about six
inches wide, representing the tides for
year, the tide level at any time in
that period can be readily ascertained.

Angels Camp Scene
 of Gold Discovery.

A Randsburg dispatch says:---Tne biggest gold strike in years is reported from the Angels camp. The strike was made in the old Hardy-McCreight mine, a little south of Angels, and the find was one of the richest on record. The mine is being worked by James and David Mailman, under bond and the reported strike is said to have amount ed to 80, O,0OO$. The find was one of al most pure gold and has created a sen sation in the little camp.
 The mine is in famous locality and the strike recalls the days of '49 when the gold was cut out with cold chisels and hauled off in candle boxes. The same mine once yielded 100, O00$ in less than three weeks and the recent big strike has renewed activity in the en- tire district.
