More CelestialS
Booked At Jai'

Undiscouraged by repeated warn
ings and undismayed by the fate
of their Oriental bretheren who
have found their way into the
clutches of the law on this side of
the border, little groups of Chinese
persist in sticking their toothbrush
in their pocket in Mexico, if they
have a toothbrush, and waking up
next morning in the county jail
here.
The latest Oriental combination
to walk into the welcoming arms
OF immigration officers consisted of
Jeng Chew, 81, and Leang Ken Toa,
36, booked at the Jail yesterday
afternoon on q charge of illegal en-
try.
Chew and Toa. literally speaking,
started the register of the Jail on
the upgrade again, SO far as their
countrymen are concerned. The I'm
perial county jail, after addition OF
Toa and Chew, was lodging place
for lust 10 Chinese, the smallest
number booked there in many ma
NY months.
Officers at the bastille, however,
were pessimistic. 1t won't be long,
they declared, until the immigration
tank will be overflowing again with
representatives Of the dragon coun-
try.

For a complaint charging Olanta
with sale of narcotics was to be

Olanta and the woman were to be

await trial before the federal court.
A test of the asserted dope deliv-
cred to the narcotic agent was made
in San Diego yesterday afternoon,
and showed high percentage of
harmful drugs, he said today.
Olanta, an Arizona Indian, is
said by officers to have been en-

length of time. His woman COM

it. I thought a city was filled with
trolley cars and automobiles and
boys and girls and men and women
rushing around, going to movies,
shopping in the stores and the like
of that. I don't see any city"
This park where 1 live" ex-
planned Mr. Scamper, lis on the
edge of the city. Do you see that
black spot over there?" asked the
squirrel, pointing with one paw as
he sat on rock near the tree.
do you mean that thunder
cloud?" asked Uncle Wiggily Yes,
I see it. I think we shall have
some rain. I had better 90 in my
new hollow tree house and you had
better climb up to your nest. Oh,
what black thunder cloud"
That isn't black thunder
cloudT' said Mr.. Scamper, laughing
Isn't it?" asked Uncle Wiggily
What is it?"
That's the city, said the town
squirrel.
What a queer place a city is"
murmured the country rabbit.
'Oh. that's only the smoke of the
city that you see" went on Mr..
Scamper. THE city is under that
cloud Of smoke. You can't see it
very well until we go closer. We'll
do that this afternoon when you
have rested and had something to
eat"
Dear mel" thought poor Uncle
Wiggily. If I had known the city
was hidden under a black cloud of
smoke l think I wouldn't have come
out. How clean and sweet my coun-
try is. But then perhaps I shall
have some adventures here and
that will be something wonderful"
Then to the squirrel he said
Speaking of something to eat, 1
am hungry. Where does some let
tuce grow here in your city, or some
carrots?'
"Oh, nothing like that grows in
the CITY," said Mr. Scamper with a
laugh. You have to go to the
country for them. Why, not even
nuts grow in this park, though it
has many trees"
Where do you city squirrels get
nuts to eat?" asked the rabbit gen.
tleman, softly twinkling his pink
nose.
oh, we have to wait until the
boys and girls bring them to us
here in the park was the answer
You may get a bit of lettuce or
some carrots the same way"
do you mean" asked Uncle
WiggIly, that I must wait for
something to cat until, by chance,
a boy or girl brings a head of let
tuce or bunch of carrots here TO
the park?"
Eyes, that's what I mean,' chat
tered Mr.. Scamper. Watt Here
comes a boy now! Maybe he is
bringing me some nutsl" Uncle
Wiggily was hoping some girl would
bring him a lettuce leaf when, all
of a sudden, the rabbit gentleman
was surprised to see bunch of car
rots lying on the path near the hol-
low tree
"Oh, here is where I eat!" cried
Uncle Wiggily, making a jump for
the carrots. He put his teeth into
one and then he had another sur
prise, but it was sad one. "Oh!
OIL" murmured the rabbit, and
Mr.. Scamper called TO know what
was wrong. "Everything." And if
the milkman's horse will lend one
of his shoes to the puppy dog SO
he can climb the fire-escape, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily
being shut in.

Mr.. Scamper pointed to a hole
beneath the tall tree.
Yes" Uncle Wiggily said, Il can
stay there for a while, think. And
you Will be higher up, suppose?"
YES, for we squirrels are good
tree climbers like cats, you know"
Speaking of cats" said Uncle
Wiggily, 81 wonder if my little pussy

are around here?"
NO, I think not" answered Mr..
Scamper. There are lot of stray
cats in this city park, but I don't
have anything to do with them.
They chase me-"
Chase you?" cried Uncle Wiggi-
ly. why should stray cats chase
you, Mr. Scamper?'
u guess they want to bite me-"
chattered the squirrel gentleman.
But don't worry. I'm not going to
give them the chance. Now crawl
in this hollow tree and see if you
can live here while you are visiting
me in the city"

so the peddlers will have us believe.
In recent months one of our local
banks has had the experience of having
a customer come in to remove his de-
posts because he had Straight informa-
ton" right from the banks headquar-
ters, that the crash was coming.
Not even the personal assurance of the
local executive, could convince the bank
patron that what he had heard was only
Idle runor. Not wishing to see this
man lose the interest on his savings ac-
count, which he could i'll afford to lose.
the executive offered to let him rent a safe
deposit box, put his cash savings in there
and when the patron became convinced
that the bank was not going to crash, he
could return his deposits to the savings
department without loss of interest.
The offer was reluctantly accepted
because the depositor felt certain there
was catch" in it somewhere. When
weeks passed and the bank failed to
crash, he decided that perhaps the bank
er knew more about his own business
than did some outsider. Sheepishly he
came in and replaced his deposits.
The Press has heard these rumors.
We have heard them from persons who
ought to know better. They have al
ways received the tip in strictest conf
dence from some person ''in the know
but they do not respect the confidence
Of the tipster. Instead they peddle it
'confidentially' to all who will listen to
them.
Those who listen to such drivel are al
most as much to blame as the ones who
are peddling it. They merely encour-
age the dissemination of harmful pro-
paganda that is baseless but which is ex-
tremely harmful despite its falseness.

OUR QUEER LAWS

Put down this Oceanside shooting for
another example of the laws oddity.
A man who admittedly intended to
kill his son in law, made his own daugh-
ter his victim instead. Lying in wait in
his own house with loaded shotgun in
his hands, he watched for the son in law
with whom he had quarreled, waiting to
shoot him. The son in law may have de-
served it, but that doesn't alter the fact
that the shooter had murder in his heart
Hearing footsteps approaching and
catching sight of figure in the dimness
of the room, the slayer let go with both
barrels. Naturally he was horror strick-
en- when he realized that he had become
the slayer of his own daughter.
The point that puzzles us is this.
Many poor unfortunate is up at San
Quentin right now serving time for tax
ing human life when he had no intention
of committing such a crime. A sudden
burst of anger, perhaps justifiable, but
not premeditated, and the law declared
him slayer Possibly he was irrespon-
sible from the use of liquor or drugs,
but the laws says he is guilty just the
same.
In the Oceanside case, the intent to
murder, over which lawyers love to
wrangle, was admittedly present. The
slayer deliberately planned to take hu-
man life. By chance he happened to
kill someone other than the person whose
life he intended taking. And the law,
represented by a coroner's jury terms it
accidental slaying''.
We don't care about the particular
slayer. He gets his own punishment in
the knowledge of what he has done. 1t
is just impossible for us to reconcile his
intent with the attitude taken by the
law.
We also wonder why and by whom
were II women chosen to compose the
coroners jury?

RUMOR PEDDLERS

Among the most vicious of modern
pests is the rumor peddler, and partic-
ularly the variety who is always ped
ding harmful rumors.
1t is to be hoped that the statewide
campaign to put stop to the spread
ing of malicious rumors will be success
ful and that few of the peddlers may
be punished by law.
All of us have heard their tales. This
bank is going on the rocks, that loan
company is doing business just inside
