TEASE They Do Unto Him Time was—and the oldest inhabitants do not monopolize remembrance of it— when the persecution of adult Chinese | by Caucasian youth on the streets of | San Francisco was of such common oc~ currence as to be generally regarded with tolerance, if not condoned a&s a natural and perfectly legitimate ebul- lition of adolescent spirit. In those good—or bad—old days to prophesy & radical reversal of that condition In this year of 1906 would have been pro- vocative of ridicule. Yet in the court of Police Judge Mogan yesterday there was unfolded an instance in which two “elestial juveniles hounded and taunted |a typical American citizen until he | turned in wrath and smote them, for | which he was arrested on their com- plaint. And so thoroughly was thelr | allegation proved that there was noth- | Ing else for his Honor to do in accord with law and justice than pronounce the defendant guilty and remand him for sentence.

When Their Victim Turns and Smites They Encompass His Arrest for Battery. BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. Frank White, whose claim that he re- cently arrived from the mining regions was not contradicted by his garb and beard, punched his eyes for no cause or provocation whatever while he and an- other Chinese lad were peacefully walking along Dupont street. In ad- dition to punching Master Leong’s optic Mr. White was accused of grasping the other boy’s queue and jerking it with such vigor as to elicit yells of agony from its owner. “I guess they're about right,” sald Mr. White when the Judge asked him what he $ad to say, “but they forgot to tell you that before I turned on ‘em they had followed me and called me all kinds of names and jerked my sleeves and tried to make a monkey of me gen- erally, while all the _Chinks that saw 'tem were laughing. es, I was purty ull.” But there was no testimony corrobor- atlve of Mr. White's plea of provoca- tion, while a blue-bloused army stood ready to substantiate all that Quong Leong had sworn and add to it if nec- essary to secure conviction. e o Philip Reilly’s blackened eye bore silent testimony to the effectsthat he was more strenuous than discreet while serving as a canvasser of names for the City Direc- tory. Fred Dereman's fist made the dis- coloration. The Deremans occupy a second-story flat, and when Mr. Rellly rang for admit- tance Mrs. Dereman went to the landing and pulled the lever that opened the street door. Then, without uttering a word, Mr. Reflly dashed up the stairs and 8o frightened the lady that she screamed, whereupon her husband flew to the spot 4 and placed Mr. Reilly’s optic in mourn- ing. “It was to save time that I ran up stairs,” Mr. Rellly explained to Judge Cabaniss, who promptly dismissed his complaint of battery against Mr. Dere- man. s s Seating himself at a table in the Transfer restaurant, on Third street, near Howard, John Vustinday, chronic vagabond, propped a bill of fare where he could keep it under constant surveil- lance and began to order and to eat. When he leaned back with a sigh de- noting satiation he had sampled every course from soup to nuts and left no remains. He calmly picked his teeth while the waiter added up the total cost of the feast—no light mathemat - ical task-—and when the bill was laid before him he serenely deposited beside it a street-railway transfer slip. “What's that for?” the napkin-wield- er inguired. “What d'ye think it's for?” was Mr. Vustinday’s reply. “It's t’ pay f'r th® chuck I've enveloped.,” he added, see- ing that his counter query had failed to enlighten. “Don’t get funny,” said the waiter; “I've no time to waste. Pay that $2 60 for the grub and tip me fZ ye feel gen- erous.” “This is the Transfer restaurant, ain’t it?” Mr. Vustinday asked. “Sure; the sign's painted on the windy.” “Then there's mry transfer, an’ vye kin take it or leave it, fr it's all I've ot t' give ye.” Arraigned before Judge Mogan on the charge of defrauding an Innkeeper, Mr. Vustinday averred that he really believed streetcar transfers passed as currency in the Transfer restaurant, but his Honor said “Tush, tush,” and gave him thirty days. .l e Mrs. Kate Daly, charged with hav- ing disturbed the peace of Mrs. Kate O'Leary’s dwelling place, 122 Town- send street, denied most stoutly the additional accusation of inebriety, and declared that only in extreme cases of illness could she be induced to even look at intoxicating liquid. . “You are ill rather frequently, Ipre- sume,” Judge Shortall remarked. © “Well, I'm a nervous woman, an’ you know gin's not bad for the nerves,” was Mrs. Daly’s rejoinder. “But to say I get drunk? As sure as I'm here I never was drunk in my life.” Michael O’Connor, longshoreman, tes- tified that Mrs, Daly often called at 122 Townsend. street, and he had never seen her when she was not “loaded.” “Loaded with what?” Mrs. Daly sharply querfed. “How do I know what kind of booze you swallow?” was Mr. O'Connor’s an- swer. She will be sentenced.to-morrow, and after the Judge had apprised her of that fact she audibly opined he was “a bad-hearted ml-lL" . . After obtalning a dlxmllul of the va- grancy complaint on which Miss Vivian Adams was arraigned before Judge Mo- gan, the young woman’s attorney walted for his fee until patience lost its virtue, and then he placed his clalm in the hands of H. R. Waite of 1119% Howard street, with A\lt.hflflt’ to collect. “My, what a purty ring you've got,” Miss Adams exclaimed as Mr. Waite pre- sented his petition, and she gazed rap- turously at a diamond-studded gold hoop on one of his “Lemme count the stones?” she pleaded, slipping the orna- ment from his digit and placing it on one of her own. Appreciating the uselessnes of endeavor- ing to distract a woman's mind from her way. “My!” she ejaculated when her com- putation was finished. “Ten and a sapp'ire.

But ain’t ye goin’ t' pay this law- yer's bill2” “Sure,” rejoined Miss Msmn. “Jist walt her till T git th* dough. ‘When she passed into an adjoining chamber the ring was still on her finger, and her failure to return is why Bailiff “Jack” Laws of Judge Conlan’s court is now armed with a warrant for her arrest on the grand larceny charge filed by Mr. Waite. How long that beguiled gentle- man vainly awaited her reappearance he did not state. .« .. ‘When she pledged her sewing machine for $7 with J. Wassercrook, second-hand furniture dealer at 829 Mission street, Mrs. Minnie Raaen gullelessly signed a bill of sale at his request, his explanation being that the document would protect him from prosecution for doing a pawnbrok- ing business without a license.” But when she went to redeem the machine he in- formed her that he had sold it, and when she asked him what right he had to sell it he produced the bill of sale beagying her signature., Friends to whom she con- fided her grievance induced her to formal- 1y charge him with violating the pawn- broking license ordinance. “It is evident,” sald Judge Shortall when he had heard the testimony, “that this man most grossly defrauded this woman by imposing on her ignorance of business ways and methods. I have never heard of a more flagrant instance of de- liberate swindling. Sentence is postponed until Monday, and I would hint to the de- fendant that restitution of the complain- ant’s property would not inure to his dis- advantage when he appears for sentence.” s s “He hasn’t paid me a cent since last July,” said Mrs. Elizabeth Rauft, lodg- ing-house keeper at 906 Market street, “and now he owes $64 for room rent and $2 for washing.” “pre C. Grascinsky, suavely pleaded most dire poverty as the cause of his non-pay- He to whom she -alluded, ment of Mrs. Rauft’s claim. But his external ensemble did not sustain the plea, for no legitimate medicine man in this bailwick ever presented a more impressive appearance. “It's all right for you to stand there and say you're poor and all that,” Mrs. Rauft responded, and her tone was vinegary, “but you can take ladies to French dinners and—' “Mine deah meddem, dot vass—"" “Oh, you needn’t ‘dear madam’ me,” the lady continued. “I'm tired of your soft soap and want my money.” “Why don’t you pay what you owe?” inqulred Judge Mogan, sitting as ref- eree. “Her claim is just, you concede.” “Mine deah Shoodge, vod she glaims iss correct. boot vad- “It's my opinion that you're a genteal fraud,” his Honor sharply interrupted; “and if within a month this woman hasn’t been paid what you now owe her I'll send you to jail.” “Thank you, Judge,” sald Mrs. Rauft; “but I wouldn’'t tare If ‘you were to send him to jail right now, for if there is any way he can get out of paying me he’s sure to take advantage of it. He's treating me just as he treated that poor servant girl he married—" “Ach, Gott! don'd be so gruel—led mine domesdig droubles alone!” “Oh, we all know about that” Mrs. Rauft mercilessly pursued. “After you got hold of her $180, all the money she had in the world, you shook her, and nobody blamed her for getting a di- vorce, and: a “Voman, voman, gif us a resd!” But despair was not evidenced a mo- ment later by the hauteur with which the Herr Doctor buttoned up his New- market overcoat, twisted his mustache ends, ran bejeweled fingers through his fuzzy hair and stalked from the court- room with the stride of 'a dragoon. ——— Calaveras Parior Installs.
