He Is accused of stealing stand. This was Ng Tow Chow, age fifty-seven, who was summoned from the Fiowery Kingdom a year ago to accept the assistant presidency of the Kong Chow, one of the Six Companies. The dignitary. wore an olive green blouse, lavender skirt, a thin mustache , and scanter imperial and his head was | shiningly shaved back to the very roots of his queue. He was called for the sole purpose of explaining the marriage customs in his district in China, which 1 is the one that Chew Bing Quoia hailed __ { from. Unfortunately Attorneys Vogel- | sang and Hill were in an argumenta- | tive mood and the witness was only ;)wrmm.ed to say that the marriage | laws were not printed, but are handed | down from dynasty to dynasty at Peking. | Attorney Hill, who represents J. J. { Cunningham, the administrator, whose | removal is sought by Qucia's widow in China, was of the opinion that Ng Tow { Chow should not tell of the traditional marriage laws, but that the other side | should produce the copy of some ruling of a Chinese court. Mr. Vogelsang, at- torney for the petitioners for Cun- ningham'’s removal, declared that he and Judge Dibble had read numerous volumes on the subject and were pre- pared to prove that there were no written laws on marriage and, further- | more, no lawyers in China and that Judges there did not necessarily have to know the law. This caused Judge Coffey to remark that there was no noise in Chinese courts. Before the tong official was exam- ined, Chew Ming, nephew of the de- ’:enled Quola, was cross-questioned by Mr. Hill and he stuck te his story that he witnessed the marriage of Quoia and Low Shee and that Lum Quola, the American “widow,” was bought as a’'slave. 2 The Jternoo) s a bonds a package of perfume from the rural delivery | box of Miss Camilla King at San Lorenzo, | MOSS COUGH BALSAM PRESCRIBED BY THE BEST PHYSICIANS FOR Coughs.

A, WRIGHT Department of Justice Will Prosecute Former Deputy Internal Revenue Collector DENIES THE SHORTAGE Lynch Much Exercised Over the Affair and Claims Everything Is All Right George A. Wright, former chief dep- uty in the United States internal reve- nue office, this city, whose accounts were found to have been $4000 short, is still at liberty, but his arrest has been ordered by the Department of Justice at Washington and he will be prose- cuted. Special Revenue Agent Bert M. Thomas, with two assistants, is mak- |ing a thorough examination of the | books and accounts of the office. He | said yesterday that he did not expect | to be through before next Thursday. Every letter sent to the revenue of- fice during the last year is to be seru- tinized and the accounts are to be consulted to see whether the sums| named have been paid and deposited | in the United States treasury. With regard to the defalcation of | the former chief deputy Thomas de- clined to say anything save that he | would wait until District Attorney | Woodworth returns from the country | before taking any steps toward | | Wright's prosecution. Agent Thomas | | was closeted with an assistant district | attorney for half an hour in the fore- | noon and also with George W. Hazen, | United States secret service agent in| | charge of the office here. It was whispered later that close watch was | to be kept on the movements of| | Wright and of one or two others| pending the arrests, which are ex-| | pected to follow next week. Suspicion was first directed toward | | Wright by the fact that he seemed to | be living beyond his ineans and neverl | to want for money. He married about | | a year ago an estimable young woman ‘ and expects to become a father at any | time within the next week. He still persists in declaring his innocence and | stoutly maintains that he has not been guilty of embezzling Government | money. | { Collector Lynch said yesterday that | he had nothing new to report, adding, | | “There is no shortage in my office.” | He is much exercised over the affair and wears a haggard and worried ex- | pression, .

Mr. Hogue immediately paid the money into the office and explained that it was an oversight; that he had not been aware that he had failed to pay that sum.

Then Agent Thomas hinted delicately that the best thing Mr. Hogue could do would be to resign. —_———————— DE BENEDETTI SAYS CHARGES AGAINST HIM ARE FALSE San Mateo Supervisor Declares His Arrest Was Spite Work of Political Enemies. Supervisor Joseph de Benedetti of San Mateo County, who was arrested at Halfmoon Bay on Thursday by order of United States Attorney ‘Woodworth and brought to this city and charged with having taken out fraudulent naturalization papers, was released yesterday on bail. De Bene- detti is highly indignant over the af- He says that the arrest was caused by his political enemies and is a plece of spite work. He asserts that his father came to this State in 18556 and took up mining claims here at that time and to do this he must naturally have been then a citizen of this State. De Benedetti says he took out his own papers in 1873. He denies that he was ever indicted by the Grand Jury, as has been reported in some of the papers. He has been eighteen years a school director, eight years a Postmaster and. for the last eight vears a Supervisor, re-election to which office he is seeking at the com- ing election. —_————————— Justices’ Court Suits. F. Stadelman yesterday sued the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail- way Company. in the Justices’ Court to recover $12153 damages for the loss of part of a shipment of dry goods from Syracuse to this city last June. Laura M. Cutter sued the Judson- Alton Excursion Company and the Missouri Pacific Railway Company for $298 for being compelled to ride from Pueblo, Colo., to this city in an old, filthy and unsanitary car, although she had purchased a ticket entitling her to ride in a Pullman car. Wil- liam Karl and Clarence de ' Elmer, gymnasts, sued D. J. Grauman, Emil Strouse - and John Morganstein for $160, alleged. to be due on a seven weeks’ contract to show at various theaters controlled by the defendants. The contract was suddenly terminated at the end of five weeks. ————— WEE ONG TONG GETS MORE TIME.— The argument on a motion for a new trial in the case of Wee Ong Tong, whose injunction restraining the police from entering gambling and lottery resorts in Chinatown was dis- solved by Judge Cook last Monday, was made before the same Judge y A further stay was granted till that time. —_—————— Public Speakers use Plso's Cure to strengthen the voice and prevent hoarseness, * BODY OF MAN WHO SHOT HIMSELF UNIDENTIFIED Mrs. Conness Still Sends Flowers, Though She Can Throw No Light on Mystery. The body of the man who commit- | ted suicide near the junction of the Ocean boulevard and the Ingleside road still awaits identification. It is being held by an undertaker in the | hope that the kin or friends wiil ap- | pear. Mrs. Conness, the woman who has | been sending flowers to be placed | about the coffin and who induced the | undertaker to take charge of the re- | mains, says she saw the man in the Belvedere on the nights of Saptem-| ber 13 and 14. In another statement she said she had seen him in Arizora. | No credence is given to her stories, al though there is no question as to her earnestness to have the body iden- | tified. Three men who formerly lived in Honolulu viewed the remains yester- day, having read that the cuffbuttons found bore the Hawalian coat of arms, but they could do nothing to- ward solving the mystery. —————— Chinese Refused Landing.
