Livingstone says that many Marshals and Constables in the interior compel men afoot to glve them money. He gave a brakeman $1 for a ride from Bakersfield to Fresno recently, and when the train reached Provo the Marshal made him give | up $2 50, aithough the brakeman told him he was getting a free ride. About three years ago he had been working In Los Angeles, but lost his job. He started to walk to this city and on the way had to give up $12 75 to Marshals. The Marshal at Bakersfield offered to give him $2 to He took the money and was sentenced to sixty days. The jaller let him out the same evening, telling him they had no money for his grub. He was ar- rested again at Provo and taken back to | Bakersfleld, where he was sentenced to thirty days. The Marshal gets his mile- age, the Judge his fee and Livingstone got thirty-six hours, as the jailer would not keep him longer. “Every Marshal,” wrote Livingstone, “is good for from $1 to $ and whisky is thrown in as a further inducement to be arrested, so that they can get their mile- age and the Judges their fees. It is the only State in the Unlon where laboring men who are forced to walk from place to place are made the tools of Marshals and Constables. I could give you the names of a hundred laboring men who will corroborate my charges.” NEW LAUNDRY ORDINANCE TO BE TESTED IN COURT Its Constitutionality, Owing to Pro- hibitory Working Hours, Is" Called Into Question. Six Chinese who were arrested on the water front Saturday night by Sergeant Brophy for violating the new laundry ordinance prohibiting any work in that line being done betwcen the hours of 7 p. m. and 6 a, m. appeared before Judge s doings in the papers | Cabaniss “yesterday.

Madden promptly gave notice of appeal, saying that he would test the constitutionality of the ordinance. The serior Court had sustained the original laundry ordinance which made the prohititory hours from 10 p. m. to 6 . m. on the ground that it was a proper police regulation within the province of Board of Supervisors to enact, b Madden contends that to make it a mis. demeanor to work later than 7 p. m. was unreasonable and unconstitutional.

S04 oo s o s o o s o s i o IMPOSTOR RUNS HIS | RACE AND IS CAUGHT | C. B. Porter, Masquerading as the| | Owner of The Call, Commits Various Frauds. | _ Chief of Police Sullivan has received in- formation that an impostor calling him- self C. B. Porter has been arrested in Kansas City and is held there awaiting | investigation. Porter has run a success ful race of fraud for nearly a year. He traveled nearly all over the United States representing himself to be the pro- prietor of The Call. and by this impos tion has succeeded in defrauding busine: men, railroaas, hotel-keepers and trades- men out of various sums of money. | Time after time The Call has exposed him and sent warnings, in answer to ir- quiries, to beware of him as he was not | and never had been connected with this | paper In any capacity. These warnings appear to have had little effect In stop- | ping him in his areer of fraud latest offense, however, is likely to prove | serious to his future prospects. A few 's ago Larkin Sons of Kansas City | wrote this office for Information regard- ing Porter, saying that he had attempted to cash a draft on a representation tnat he was the proprietor of The Call. The Kansas firm was informed by tel- egraph that Porter is a fraud, who has attempted to obtain money all over the country claiming to be the proprietor of | The Call. Larkin Sons were urged to turn | the impostor over to the police at once | | and not to let him get away. This evi-| | dently has been done and Chief of Police | | Sullivan has been notified by John Hayes, | | Chief of Police of Kansas City. The Call has been tracking Porter for | nearly a year. In April last he was in | Minneapolls representing himself to de | the editor in chief of The Cail. He offered positions on this paper and succeeded in defrauding several tradesmen and hotei- Kkeepers. Carrying out the same fraud he secured railroad transportation and was | discovered operating in Langhorne, Pa. 8 | He also plied his criminal trade in Holy- oke. He is represented to be a man about forty-five years of age and crippled. —_—————————— Eastern Star Entertainment.
