Restaurant Patron Declares Old
I'ashioned Dish 'ot Named Cor
rectly on Menu.
Whatever else the prying police and
prosecutors may say about him, they
are compelled to admit that Lee Foon
is an ingenious cuss. They must also
admit that the wily Oriental "pulled one
from the clouds" in police court yes
terday, and got away with it in big
league Ktyle.
Lee, a studious looking disciple of
Canfuscius, stood with solemn mien as
ho answered the police court roll yes
terday on a charge of having lottery
tickets In his possession.
Police testified that they had raided
Foon'a quarters in the Chinese section
yesterday 'and procured an ample sup
ply of lottery tickets, which they had
found in his room. Other parapher
nalia used for lotteries also was pro
duced. The evidence seemed conclusive.
Court attaches naturally figured Lee
Foon didn't have a chance.
Alibi Is Offered.
And then Lee Foon offered his testi
mony. "These not lottery tickets," was
his first astonishing statement.
Judge Rossman grew interested. He
moved down from the bench and stood
at Foon's side in the prisoner's docket.
"What are they, then?" inquired the
court.
"They pages torn from Chinese school
book," quickly answered the bland and
unsmiling Foon.
"Well, what does this say?" inquired
the court, as he selected an alleged
lottery ticket at random and. handed
it to Foon for translation.
"It say, 'I see the cat,1 " was the
quick retort, which was almost drowned
in the storm of laughter which swept
over the courtroom.
"Well." muttered the court, as he
shook his head in a perplexed manner.
"I'll admit that lottery tickets should
in time educate people that it's a losing
Rambling game, but this is the first
time I ever heard a ticket called a
page from a Chinese school book."
Prisoner Is Freed.
'And so dumbfounded was the court
at Lee Foon's alibi, that he permitted
the prisoner to go his way minus the
usual fine.
"if he comes before me again on the
same charge he'll probably plead that
he's a professor of economics in the
college of "come-ons," laughed "the
court as Lee Foon pattered his happy
way back to Chinatown.
Down at Hendsch's restaurant, 226
Morrison street, the cook, the cashier
and the waitresses were all laughing
the other night at the discomfiture
of Walden, a negro waiter. Hut Walden
appeared in police court yesterday to
procure the arrest of the restaurant
managers and employes. " '
Walden told Deputy City Attorney
Stadter that he went to the restaurant
for supper, but waited an hour and five
minutes before" he could be served. He
asked for an old-fashioned steak.
Steak Old, Xo't Fashioned.
It was so tainted he could not eat
It. he charged. He took it to the city
health bureau, where he was told it
was old enough, but not in any way
fashionable.
Walden says he has eaten there be
fore on several occasions and they had
sever objected to colored trade. He
signed a complaint for the arrest of
the restaurant force for selling tainted
meat and the affair will be on the
police court menu this morning.
"Say. any guy who thinks I'm going
to stick around this burg while that
bird's police Judge is crazy.
So remarked Irvie Hutchinson,
regular police court offender, when he
learned yesterday that Dick Delch, dep
uty district attorney, is to serve as
notice Judge during the vacation of
judge Rossman, who leaves today.
Delch Not "Popular."
"Believe me, I'm going to blow until
hlzzoner returns," said the much wor
ried lrvie. as he tracked it toward
the union station.
Mr. Deich will dispense police court
justice for the next 15 days. He says
he will continue the same general
policies of Judge Rossman, and will not
seek to inaugurate any innovations.
Albert Dorn is a tailor. He is also
bald-headed and temperamental. Like
wise, he is just a wee bit quick tem
pered.
All three of these weaknesses if they
may be called such caused his appear
ance yesterday in police court for
mussing up the facial appearance of
Carl Nau.
Jokera Appear la Court.
Nau is a tailor who works in the
same shop with Dorn. He is also a
practical joker, but a poor pugilist.
Nau. according to testimony, had been
harassing the excitable Dorn for sev
eral weeks. Bitter feeling sprang up
between them. This state of affairs
culminated when Nau doused a large
sponge with ice-cold water and plas
tered it with a touch none too gentle
upon the head of Dorn at a point where
the hair is nc more.
A fight resulted and Nau was badly
worsted. As is the case with all prac
tical jokers, he sought revenge for his
fistic defeat. He caused the arrest of
the victor. But the court, after listen
ing to both sides of the argument, re
fused to convict Dorn. He sent them
both on their way with injunctions to
ease up on the feud.
Charles Cullen, arrested on a charge
of bootlegging, charged his troubles
to "psalm-singing neighborhood scan
dal mongers." By attacking the cour
age of his neighbors he sought to pro
cure his release.
Judge Rossman, however, refused to
acquit him because his neighbors might
have been gossips. Police testified that
they found a quantity of beer in the
basement of Cullen's home. He waa
found guilty and ordered to pay a fine
of $75. His attorney filed notice of ap
peal.
DT5ILL HALL FOR ASTORIA
High School to Have Building for
Military Training.
ASTORIA. Or.. July 31. (Special.)
The Astoria high school is to have a
new gymnasium and drill hall ready
for use this fall.
The local school has accepted the
offer of the government to inaugurate
military training among the high
school students and this makes the
erection of a drill hall an absolute
necessity. The present gymnasium is
in the basement of the school and i:
rot satisfactory, so the board has de
cided to combine a gymnasium and
drill hall in the proposed new building.
Architect J. E. Wicks has prepared

ERNICE SMITH, 7 years old, a
Portland youngster, who has been
appearing in a juvenile act at
the Sunset with "Yankee Doodle in
Berlin" this week, is getting familiar
with stage tactics early in life. Yes
terday a letter was left for "Little
Bernice Smith, Sunset theater," from
her first masculine admirer, who en
closed the following note, written in"!
lead pencil:
"Hello. Bernice. How are you? I
come to hear you sing every day at
2:45. All the bo;s like you and so do I.
I sit in the third row from the front
in the last seat on the right side.
Gene Rodgers."
This is the last day the little girl
appears, and she's bound to locate the
author of the note, who apparently is
the same youngster who has been in
quiring at the box office each day to
find out if Bernice is still part of the
show. When an affirmative reply
comes, he has been heard to remark:
"Then, guess I'll go in."
Tomorrow a new bill opens at the
Sunset, with Bill Hart starring in "The
Narrow Trail," a story of which he is
the author. Big Bill plays the part
of Ice Harding, an outlaw, whose
specialty is holding up stage coaches.
Among the passengers one day is

Francisco, and Betty Werdin, his pretty
niece, who at heart is a good girl and

get sunburned or not. This is surely

Just because people are not familiar with them, many
records which possess real musical beauty remain rather
obscurely hidden within the pages of the Victor Record
catalog.
It is to be expected that the music which is familiar
should be generally selected by record purchasers. The
"great masterpieces" will ever retain their hold upon the
affections of music-lovers. But there are many other num
bers also distinguished by musical merit as well as by age
with which the public is all too little acquainted. Music
that once heard will forever charm you with its beauty.
Browse again through the pages of your Victor Record
catalog with these less-familiar selections in mind. Mark
any which may appeal to you. Or drop in at your Victor
dealer's and ask him to play some of the "not so well
known" though beautiful numbers. We feel sure you
will be rewarded by some real gems of music and enter,
