The six Chinese that were substituted for six whom- United States Deputy Mar- shall Gamble allowed to escape are among the number. Their names are Lee Gun, Yee Lee, Choy Gut, Lee Ling Gee, John Doe (a Chinese) and Wong Suey Quong. They are charged with aiding and abetting the illegal landing of six Chinese. Wong Din, who was indicted for conspiring with Dasha, Dempsey and Burnett, the jailers who made substitu- tions in Chinese cases, was indicted yes- terday on an additional charge of having conspired with John Duffy to substitute an old Chinese laborer for a young one who had been denied a landing. Duffy was the driver of an express wag- on and was employed by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to take Chinese on habeas corpus writs to the office of the | United States Marshal in the Appraisers’ | building, stopping on the way at a pho- tographic gallery on Kearny street to have the photograph of the subject taken. ‘While at the gallery, on January 1, 1902, | he allowed his subject to escape and had an old Chinese laborer sit for the pho- | tograph. The old man was delivered with the photograph to the Marshal under the name of the young man for whom the habeas corpus writ had been issued, but the trick was discovered and exposed. by Deputy United States Marshal Gearge | Burnham. Duffy was convicted and serv- ed a term of two months' imprisonment in the County Jail. Duffy appeared be- fore the present Grand Jury and testified that the Chinese that had paid him to effect the substitution was Wong Din. The jury also indicted the following: George W. Rumble for using the mails in furtherance of a scheme to defraud by means of a fictitious gold mining propo- | sition guaranteed to pay dividends of 2 per cent per month on the money invest- ed in stocks, and Lieutenant Lewis C. Hamilton for forging the pay accounts of Lieutenant Bruce Cotton and Claude E. Brigham for $116 and $128 respectively. The jury ignored charges against Pat- rick Joseph Carton for sending defama- tory postal cards through the mails, and against Patrick McBride for smuggling cigars, and against Victor Crison for as- sault on the high seas. Threé indictments were placed on the secret file. —_—— Thrown by Moving Cars.

A few minutes before 3 o’clock Policeman J. J. Farrell's attention was attracted by the blowing of a police whistle. He hurrled in the direction of the whistle and found Brown standing on the sidewalk, bleeding from a cut in his scalp. Brown said that a well dressed man about 28 years of age entered the saloon shortly before midnight and stood at the bar drinking for some time. He invited Brown to have a drink, and they sat at a table near the bar and had two or three drinks together. SHortly before 3 o’clock Brown said he would have to close the saloon, and the stranger rose quickly from the table, turned out the three lights at the bar and turning to Brown said: “Now, I warn you not to make any noise and I want you to hand me over your diamonds.” Brown jumped to his feet and grappled with the stranger, who pulled a blackjack out of his pocket and struck Brown on the head with {t, knocking him down. The stranger bent over Brown’s prostrate form and with his teeth bit off the dia- mdnd from.his shirt front, leaving the screw in the shirt. The diamond was val- ued at $50. The stranger then ran out of | the saloon. Brown staggered to his feet | and blew the whistle, ‘I Farrell made a thorough search of the | neighborhood and came across two or three men, but none answered the descrip- tion of the robber. The policeman was at | a disadvantage, as Brown did not know { In which direction the footpad had run. Brown was sent to the Central Emer- gency Hospital in the patrol wagon, where the wound in his scalp was stitched The porch climber who has been op- erating for the last two weeks is having a successful time. All the efforts of the detective department to ascertain the identy of the bold operator have been so far futile. He is supposed to be the same individual who was so successful in his work during the last two winters. His fallure to secure a sufficlent recom- pense for his enterprise in entering the Fowler residence, at 1220 Masonic avenue, on Wednesday evening caused him to re- turn to the Western Addition, and the place selected was the residence of J. S. Martin, 2220 Sacramento street. While the family was at dinner on Friday even- ing between 6 and 7 o’clock the porch climber forced open one of the upstairs windows. He thoroughly ransacked the bedrooms and took away with him $12 in cash and a quantity of valuable jewelry. The jewelry included a string of gold beads, gold brooch, gold breast pin, gold scarf pin, child’s pin set with turquoise, child's breast pin, silver pin with tur- quoise setting, butterfly pin set with pearls and a lady’s gold ring. B The burglary was discovered when a young lady member of the family went up stairs after dinner. All the bureau drawers had been ransacked and their contents were scattered on the floors. She immediately telephoned to police head- quarters, and Detectives Dinan and Wren were detailed on the case. —_———— Music at the Park.

SENER CLEANERS ANV GRIEWNCE Board of Works Fails to Raise Wages on Supervisors’ Order. A committee of sewer cleaners visited the office of the Board of Public Works yesterday for the purpose of urging an increase of their wages from $4 to § per day. In the absence of the Commissioners the committee informed Secretary Jortall that the Board of Supervisors had made a spe- cific appropriation of $6300 in this year's budget to cover the increase of ten sewer cleaners, one foreman and two additional men. The committee stated that the Board of Works had not complied with the budget as adopted by the Supervisors, as the increase had never been allowed and the two extra men had not been ap- pointed. Jortall explained that the increase had never been ordered by the Board of Works because its appropriation for material and supplies had been cut by $14,000. The committee regred apparently not | satisfied with the eXplanation, although Jortall promised to bring the matter to the attention of his superiors. It is probable that if the attention of the Board of Supervisors is called to the matter the Finance Committee will insti. tute an investigation, as it did in the case of the unauathorized raise of salaries by the Boards of Works and Health. In the | case of the sewer cleaners the Supervis- ors made a specific appropriation, which was entifely ignored by the Board of ‘Works. ————— Blue Printer Wanted.

This has been one of tiie most unusual Octobers experfenced in many years. There was .17 of an inch of rainfall dur- ing the entire month. Mr. McAdie of the Weather Bureau said yesterday: m October 11 to 28 there has been an area of high pressure lying over the northwestern portion of the country. I have very little hope of rain while that condition lasts. In the last two days, however, the indications have been po.nting to its breaking up. ““Although the skies are clear, there a chance for rain. Everything is going well tor a rainfall in the near future. “The ra'nfall of .17 of an inch is the lowest we have had in October for sever years. In October, 1805, there was very little rainfall. What h made this Octo- ber particularly peculiar was the lo dry spell preceding it. We have had no rain outside of this .17 of an inch’ since Aprily16 of this year. During a od of 198 ddys there has been but two days of rain. The avera infall for the month of October is 1.04 inches.” —_———————— Acapulco Departs.
