Lee Yuen, 'alias Ah Charlie, Ah Shucks, etc., 31 North Fourth street, had been sum moned to defend himself in Ihe pro ceedings to close his place for conduct ing a lottery in Violation of the law. Lee Yuen's case was called and ; dapper, young, Americanized Chinaman jauntily strode across the council chamoei and favoring the councilmen with a pitying, condescending smile, took the witness chair and announced : " "You may now proceed if you like." , Two policemen 'testified' to. arresting and convicting Lee Yuen for Conducting a lottery at the address given. Where upon the dapper young celestial blandly addressed the council. "I presume' you gentlemen do not realize :", but your proceedings are utterly ridiculous," the youthful fashion plate told the council men, "You are trying bootleggers; this is a lottery case and, therefore, your proceedings are ridiculous." BARBIB SSOETS, MANX GURGLES Councilman Barbur snorted. Mann i registered a strangling gurgle. Pier sweetly cooed, "Well, I'll r. ; say, who, what !" Chairman Bigelow gulped, took off his glasses, wiped them, then took another look at the callous youth. "Say, who are you? Are you Lee Yuen?" Bigelow demanded. No, he was not Yuen ; nor was he hired by Yuen, nor did he have an in terest in Yuen's business, nor was he Yuen's lawyer, the young Chinaman In formed the council. Yuen Was too busy to obey the council's summons, so he had come as a friend to advise - the council of its mistake, said the youth. "It was not necessary for Ypen to come; I am here, and, of . course you cannot cancel his license." Yuen's li cense was immediately canceled by unanimous vote of the council. daic's Teaks uxatailig ' Other cases which enlivened the after noon session were those of V. Llyes, 270 Couch street, and G. Miller, 347V4 Morrison street. Attorney ' Dan Powers, appearing for Liyes, fairly brought tears to the eyes of the audience when he pictured the terrible plight the council would put his client in by revoking his licerise, "and he so innocent of wrong doing" 'n'every thing. Following three, police witnesses' testimony to the effect that in their opinion Liyes was but a tool for Mike Alagtch, whose license had been previ ously revoked at that address, the coun cil unanimously voted to revoke Liyes' license.

OREGON GOLD rv CLARA HAIVION HER 'LOST' WILL PROVIDES (Continued From Pse One) are entitled to something of .what I helped make the fortune of Jake Hamon." SYMPATHY FOR FAMILY If these sentences suggest a hard mouthed mercenary woman, then the writer is not fulfilling his obligations as a reporter. For the woman spoke softly piteously. She wept when she mentidned the aged father and mother, waiting, praying in their El Paso home, and her 19-year-old brother sitting be side us in the .Chihuahua park. "The will Mr. Hamon told me it ex isted before he died. I was to be left one fourth of his estate. I know that this is so. I know he drew up and signed his will just as well as I .know that he loved me and that' I loved him when I was not hating him for his brutality." "But !" and then came one of the strange details of . this strangest of stories. "But my share in the will was. condi tional. At least that's what Mr. , well, that's what I was told, just before I left Ardmore and came down here, 'OTHISG TO CONCEAL ' "They told me those in Ardmore I believe to be my friends that the will said if I ever shot Mr. Hamon I was not to share in his estate, "Phey made me believe that it was better to have the will appear to be lost until after I have been proved innocent of the killing. Then, they allowed me to be lieve, the will is to be 'found' and I am to be given my share. "But I know I'm Innocent now and have nothing to conceal from the world and I don't want anyone to give me anything that Is not justly mine. "As I told you I didn't pull the trigger of the gun. even if I did have it di rected at Jake Hamon's head when he struck me down with that chair. The gun just went off. A blow like that naturally would make it fire, wouldn't it? Will OSU "LOST" " "Wen, as long as I diSn't really shoot him and since I have made up my mind to conceal nothing from the world, why I'm telling this along with the rest of the story." "But suppose," I interposed "suppose the will remains missing? Maybe after, all It never will be found." She looked up with an expression of ingeniousness that was childlike. "Why, .of course, it will be found," she asserted. "I told you they said it was just being lost' until after I was cleared. "Oh, if it Isn'tv found; if I haven't placed my faith in men who are not my friends, why then whom have I to rely on in the whole big world?" One of her two Mexican escorts bowed' gravely. He Is of the spiritual istic group of influential statesmen of Chihuahua which has taken the girl into its protection. 11 SOLD FOR $150,000 Grants Pass, Or., Dec. 22. The sale of the Boswell mine to Tom Norden and associates of Seattle, for a consideration of about' $150,00. was announced Tuesday.' The mine is located In Josephine, county, five miles southwest of Holland. This 'mine which was discovered by- R. Boswell and son ' in 1914, . is one of the extremely rich propositions located in southern Oregon. From the present shaft, which is but 20 feet deep, $46,000 in gold bullion has been taken. ' . From 1914 until 1918 Boswell and son Operated the mine alone. In 1918 the younger man was drafted into the army and sent to France, where he succumbed to disease. Since 1918 the mine has been idle but under close guard. It was the scene of a daring robbery in 1918 when two men secured $600. In gold. The property consists of 108 acres of patented mining land. Increased Sum for Welfare Bureau Is Asked From County Ben Sellinsr. president of the Public Welfare Bureau association, and Bishop Walter Taylor Sumner of the advisory board, appeared before the county com missioners this morning to express the appreciation of the bureau for the co operation on the part of the commis sioners Muring the year just closed, and to urge the importance of providing a more extensive budget appropriation for relief work during 192 L The 1921 budget Carries an item of $45,000 for this work. During the 11 months of 1920 the relief work has cost Multnomah county $52,000 and it Is esti mated that the total will reach $60,000 by the close of the year. The $5000 ten tative appropriation -for 1921, said the speakers, would be entirely inadequate, as economic conditions make it certain that many more families would have to be given aid than during 1920, and that this is an imperative duty that the county government cannot escape. They srivru-aterl that a. flat appropriation of $75,000 be jnade for relief work. The matter was taken junder advisement.
