JAPANESE LOSES
MONEY, STILL AND
ALL ARGUMENTS

X. Fuknta, japanese resident of
this city, fad a terrible tine in the
police court this morning, where he
was arraigned before Judge Her
vey on charge of manufacturing
liquor.
Fukuta was arrested Saturday
afternoon at his home on CONNER
cial street and when he was taken
to the police station, 4 80 gallon cop
per still and all the accessories for
a complete whlskey plant, went with
him.
After giving a check for $500 bail,
Fukuta was allowed his liberty with
instructions to appear in court to-
day.
This morning he told Judge Her
vey before court opened that he
wanted 800 of his money back, and
would allow the other 5000 to pay
his fine. The court told him that
no dickering ON the amount of fine
was permissible.
Fukuta insisted that he needed
the 800 to eat and pay his expenses
as he was broke following a disas-
trous watermelon season and an
equally disastrous booze manufac-
turing season.
He eventually pleaded guilty, and
the court fined him $500, despite the
plea for the 500 rebate.
Fukuta took his financial jolt with
out wincing, but Immediately set up
a plea to have the still returned TO
him. In answer to questions he de
clarcd that he had borrowed the still
from "A fellow countryman in Los
Angeles, and the honor of the Ja-
panese gntleman required that he
should return the still to the owner.
! The court officials could not agree
with Fukuta S viewpoint and so
advised him.
Then the japanese declared that
the law had no right to take the
still from him, inasmuch as 1t did
not belong to him. That argument
also failed to get back the contra
band still. Fukuta finally gave the
augment up in disgust, and depart
ed from the court leaving the still,
80 pound sack of sugar, two Jars
of distilled water, 80 feet of hose,
two sacks of grain, and 20 gallons
of whiskey behind him.
Fukuta was the only prisoner IN
appear in court this morning bllt
after making survey of the SIT
uation, the court decided that 1t
had been a profitable day for the
city treasury.
