Nine gentlemen of ‘the road, in vari- ous stages Of -sartorial dilapidation, | were asleep in a boxcar at Fourth and Townsend streets when the police sur- | prised and arrested them. When in- terviewed -individually by Judge Fritz they contradicted each . other as to whether their sleeper had just arrived their slumbers was so rudely disturbed, so they were collectively. sentenced to twenty-four hours’ imprisonment and gratuitously advised to walk -out of town when they regain freedom. s e . Chris Belmont pleaded that he was provoked -to fight by being cailed a “Jap” by the ‘two men with whom he was mixed up when a patrolman arrested him - on Dupont street. .~ It was not because he sympathized with Russia in her conflict with Japan that he resented the appellation men- ticned, but because he was born end reared in Mexico - and is of Spanish- ancestry. ‘The other defendants said they honestly believed Mr. Belmont was an Asiatic when they | called him a “Jap,” as his physical characteristics left room for no other | impression on their minds. - Judge Mo- gan, after surveying Mr. 'Belmont's countenance, decided that the ether defendants might naturally- have been | mistaken, as they alleged, and he dis- missed them and told Mr. Belmont to reappear to- day for- sentence. e Miss Bessie Wallace, & 'statuesque demi-blonde, ‘was arrestéd early yes- terday morning at O'Farrell street-and Grant avenue by a policeman, who tes- tified that he frequently had seen her abroad at unseemly hours and that as she walked along she looked over her shoulder at men who met and: passed ber. “The very idea!” murmured Miss ‘Wallace to her attorney.

If he had | not "been -intoxicated he probably would not have done such a-thing, but having done it and been arrestéd -for it and charged with malicious mis- | chiéf, he hoped Judge Mogan -would dlemiss him on condition. that he pay for whatever damage he dld. He was taken at his word. . For stealing two bicycles W. H. Car- ter ‘was sentenced by Judge Mogan to nine months’ imprisonment. ————— 'OPPOSE MRS. BELL.—Loutsa J.

The ordinance requires that the open- ings of such elevators shall be covered with. substantial iron doors and pro- vided with some mechanical device for locking and .unlocking them, which will | not require any person to ride on them. | for that purpose. The eievitor must also be’ equlpped with a device to pre- vent the platform from approaching within five feet of the sidewalk doors when closed. “The ordinance aiso re- quires a responsible person to warn pmers-by against walking on the doors when the elévator starts and that the doors shall be open only for the time necessary to receive or ship merchan- dise or supplies. The committee favor- éd the various provisions. Further con- sideration was deferred one week. OPENINGS IN SIDEWALKS. Similar action was taken on the- or- dinance .providing. - that all- opening: liereafter constructed for sidewalk four inches from: the ‘outer -line of the curb and shall not exceed seven. by five feet. : The F‘hu.m;e Comm.lttee directed that the Mayor be notified tha: Supervisor Bent and Police Commissigner Hutton. had filed new official bonds. as their old ones werd not satisfactory.

The injunction restraining the po- lice from entering gambling “places and lottery joints in Chinatown, which | has been in, force since January 26| last, was dissolved by Judge Cook yes- terday. A stay of one day was grant- ed at the request of Attorney George D. Cqllins on behalf of the petitioners. Several days were consumed in tak- ing testimony on a motion for a non- suit and the Judge in rendering his decision commented on the evidence | given by Kim You, president of the | ‘Wee Ong Tong, the petitioners. He | said: “Kim You professed not to know that some of the profits came from gambling. It was his business to know before he came into court. It was practically admitted that gam- bling was carried on and the petition- ers did not come into court with clean hands. It is hard to believé that only | food and tea were sold when Kim You's share of the monthly income of $6000 was over 3700. “It seems to me,” continued the Judge, “that these Chinese simply concocted a scheme on an insurance plan to protect’ the gambling clubs from police interference.” Attorney Collins intimated that be- fore the expiration of the twenty-four hours’ stay he would apply for an- other injunction on different grounds. Building Permits’ Report. E. M. Cummings yesterday gave out a report of the work of the Bureau of Building for the month of October. It shows a slight galn over the building'| of last month.

M.. ¥orke & Co. ‘to pave the northerly half of K street from Seventh _to’Twantiet)g avenues. Action was takén as.a result of the City Attorney’s opinion that the board had violated the charter in not having first asked the formal consent of the Board of Supervisors to have the work done. The contracors’ had performed about 33000 worth of the paving and say they will sue the Board of Works for its neglect In not complying with the legal requirements in the first place. | The Board of Works also adopted a the Board of Supervisors for ‘authority to invito new bldl for -the _paving ot H street. The Board of Works adopted another resolution uk.(n: ‘the Supervisors for || authorlty to’ repave and ‘widen Fourth street from Market to Howard at .an estimated cost of $17,500. Bids .on this contract Had already been invited with- out regard to the Supervisors, but none had been filed.. The board asked the Supervisors for authority to “construct a driveway, fence and bituminous pavement at the booth warehouse of the department of elections at Eighteenth and Division | streets. Authority was alse asked for the con-u—uctlon of a.chemigal house and fire eéngine house on street .near Connecticut. The board recommended to the Su-|] pervisors that the sidewalks on the’ northerly half of H street from Seventh avenue westerly be abolished, as it is irtended to bituminize the street to the park line. The resolutions described were filed i with the Board of Supervisors at its afterrioon session and will be consid- eréd by the Street Committee. _-.-.-—" CHINESE TRICKS LAID BARE IN COURT entleth | | Jeong Kan Must Furnish Three Thou- sand Dollars Bonds and Wong Kim Looks Through Bars. Jeong Kan,- accused of being one of the gang of importers of Chinese women for imimoral purposes, was brought before United States Commis- sioner Heacock: yesterday for identifi- cation and his bonds Wwere fixed at $3000. Jeong is accused of having imported Lee Mee Ho and Low Ah | Mon. 'His preliminary examination was set for November 13. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of the remainder of the gang. Wong Kim - was brought before Commijssioner Heacock yesterday af- ternoon on a charge of being a Chi- nese -laborer unlawfully in the coun- try. It was developed on -the hear- ing-that Wong wanted to return to China’and, not ¢caring to pay his pass- age thither, sold his registration cer- tificate 'and induced a friend to in- form the Chinese bureau, so that he might be sent across the.Pacific at the ‘expense of the Government. Judge Heacock has taken the matter under advisement. Itis probable that Wong will bé sent to jail. ‘Ames, P.'W. -’ Bell, Harmon Bermhéghlm. J. Belshdw, C. M. Bergin, Thos. L. Baum, Alexander R.

The Supreme Court ordered. a new trial,-holding that all the proceed- ings at the trial after the opening state- ment of the District Attorney -were void: : " The same jury that tried the former case. was summoned again to try the case yesterday. At the previous calling ‘of the case Attorney John A. Hosmer ‘on behalf of the defendant interposed a plea of once In jeopardy, but at the Judge's suggestion it was not then pressed. In regard to this plea the Judge sald yesterday: “I have, the plea considerable thought and Tave. reached the conclusion that the jury is impaneled and sworn to try the issues made on a plea of not guilty.
