About six months P. N. Dean of Point Richmond lost the dog and despite his ;oflorts to recover the animal he could ! find no clew te aid him in his search un- til recentiy, when he found the canine in | the possession of Leo Herbold. Dean de- manded his dog. Herbold showed a re- | ceipt proving that he had paid $0 for the idog to Pourdmaster Zabel. Herbold agreed to deliver his prize to the owner | If he were reimbursed, and Dean resorted |to search-warrant proceedings, which were heard to-day and dismissed by | Judge Samuels “The ordinance defining the duties of ! the Poundmaster is so ambiguous that it | is difficult to ascertain the intent of the | measure,” declared the Police Magistrate |in dismissing the proceedings. Judge { Samuels held that the ordinance pro- vided that the Poundmaster must kill all | animals not sold or redeemed within three days after impounding. He de- | clared the ordinance could be interpreted in several ways and decided that he was | without jurisdiction in the premises. A | search of the Treasurer's records later | proved that Zabel had not turned in the | 20 per cent of the money recelved from | Herbold. A civil suit for the possession of the dog was suggested by Judge Sam- uels and will probably follow.

IPANESE WACE HORALITY WA They Request Assistance in an Effort to Suppress Gambling in a Chinatown ALAMEDA, Dec. 15.—Manager John H. Hartog of the Alameda Advance- ment Association has been taken for a reformer by the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese Assoclation. These organizations have in a joint written request asked Hartog to assist them in thelr movement to abolish gambling among Japanese and Chinese -in the local Chinatown. The Japanese say that they have appealed to the police to suppress the games of chance, but with unsatisfactory re-; sults. In the letter to Hartog, is which ese- associations, the writer says: We have been trying very hard for a long | time fo break up the games and to prevent the Javanese trom attending them, but In vain, Sometimes the games have been stopped for & week or two, but as soon as our vigi- lance lessens they take up their disreputable business on a greater scale. At first there were but two tables for ggmbling in the whole of Chinatown. Now there are fitteen, | which shows the increase in the number of | gamblers. Until about (wo years aRo the Jepanese in Alameda were in general homest, Qlilgent people, and we had few cases of fighting. But since gambling has become 0 | generul, 1 am sorry to say that there has been an increate of bad, lazy Japanese and fight- ing and stealing are often heard of. Through | and morally, that enabies them to live as | honest veople should. We have apoealed (o | the police, but it my judgment is not mis—| taken, they seem not to take enough interest | in gambling to break it up. 1 don't know why the police are indifferent to it. I be- | leve they could stop gambling here 1f they | wanted to. § There Are a great many rumors reflating on the officials, but I don't like to believe | them true. A certain policeman, Brown by | name, called on me a few weeks ago and asked what was our intention, to break up | the gambling itselt or to prevent Japanese | from . playing the games. I told him that it | wouid be enough for us it he could stop the | Japanese from golng to the gambling houses, | but I added that I did not think he could G0 50, as 1L was very difficult for any man to repent of his sin and follow a new course of life It the temptation to sin was always near | at hand. Some monthe ago I called on me‘[ Chief of Police and he agreed to stop it if I showed him where gambling was going on. That very evening gambling stopped of its own accord, but it was only temporarily, Manager Hartog in his reply to the Japanese associations assures them that he will refer their communication to the City Trustees, and in his answer says in part: Allow me to emphasize that the Alameda Advancement Association is not an anti-vice committee, but its purpose is to promote the interests of the city, and we must be careful not to go beyond our purpose. However, the way you put it, you are probably right in appealing to the ald of our association, for, it the quiet and diligent Japanese are turned into thieves and rowdles, it seems to come within our sphere of action. What you say about the reflections on the police I trust are unfounded. 1 believe that you will agree with me that Chief of Police John Conrad would not for a moment countenance any connivance on the part of his force with lawbreakers. THREE COUNTIS UET DRENCHNG NAPA, Dec. 15.—Rain fell ‘heavily in Napa this afternoon and to-night. This | is the first rain in Napa County for two weeks, and will be of much benefit to the country.

In his statement President Weir defies Architect Paff to prove his allegations and invites him to appear before the Board of Educa- tion next Monday night, where opportu- nity will be given the architect to make his charges publicly. Mr. Weir's state- | ment follows: The statements of Architect Paff are exceed- irgly indefinite and, as far as I am concerned. are absolutely false.

CARRY BATTLE INTO_COURTS POINT RICHMOND, Dec. 15.—The bat- tle between the annexationists and the anti-annexationists took a new turn to- day, when the antis, represented by Pills- bury, Madison & Sutro of San Francisco, procured an injunction against the City Trustees to restrain them from holding an annexation election on December 2. ‘The hearing was set by Superior Judge Wells for December 21 at Martinez, the day before the election date. The ques- tion is whether the proceedings taken to annex all of San Pablo school district to the city of Richmond are according to the statutes governing the annexation of “‘uninhabited lands."” The issue is between the townspeople and the five big land owning corporations. whose holdings were not included within the city's boundaries when the city of j Richmond was incorpordated. These cor- porations are the Pacitic Coast Oil Com- pany, East Shore Company, E. 8. Tewks- bury estate, John,Nicholl Company ‘and the Point Richmond Land and Canal Company. Their properties extend from | Point Potrero to Point San Pablo, along the bay shore, and cover several thousand acres.
