San Francisco Chinatown’s “Boss” Declares Lottery Is Greatest Evil to Combat Inspecter John J. Manicn, head of the San Francisco department’s Chinatown squad, peints to a lottery poster confiscated in a China- town stere. The left column read “new and old company goods here” which means lottery; the right column reads “all kinds of liquor sold here.” In the background is Grant By DUDLEY ROSS SAN FRANCISCO, Cal,, Nov. 26.— “Boss” of San Francisco's teeming Chinatown is a big, bluff Irish po-| liceman who says his hardest Lask\ is with the Chinese lottery. | He is Inspector John J. Manion, | who has watched over its destinies and kept its peace for 15 years as head of the police department’s Chi- inatown squad. The job is one that requires di- plemacy as well as, at fimes, the iron hand, s the officer who is known to most of the Chinese in his districa as “Sargie Manniyan.” | Evidence Hard to Get ff “You have to use a lov o1 psychol- ogy,” he says. “Witnesses usually| won’t talk, and you have to get some/ Chin who can be. trusted to tip you off and then make sure no one | knows who he is.” Inspector Manion asserts that the Chinatown, which makes a colorful| hillside district covering several = blocks, is on the whole a peaceful community. Gambling, the Chinese national pastime, is the mosi pestiferous of problems. Tong wars, opium and the slave girl traffic no longer loom big, but it is tough to prevent a Chinesc from playing lotteries. “Clever People” Lottery companies have been driv- en from the district says Manion, but it is another thing to stop traffic in tickets. “The companies have moved else- where,” he explains, “and they send their agents in. They won't even have tickets, but work in code, and it’s tough to get legal evidence. “Yes, the Chinese are a clever peo- . ple.” ‘““Take a sign innocently displayed in a store window which translates to: ‘New and old company goods here.’ “That means lottery,” Manion says. Recently he even found a store pre- paring to erect such a sign in bright lights, but he speedily put a stop to that maneuver. A lottery ticket transaction can be a very elusive affair, Manion says. “A Chinese may step up to a store counter, say a few words and pass over some money. There are no tickets or anything said about lot- tery. If he is questioned, the store- keeper says the customer was pay- ing a bill.” “Million-To-One Shot” The Chinese lottery is a compli- cated drawing, using the traditional | 80 characters drawn from four bowls | and permitting varied betting com- binations. As far as cheating goes, the Chi- nese lottery company which may operate on a capital of frow $5,000 to $20,000 is no different from the num- bers and policy games popular with other races. Inspector Manion says. “It is a million-to-one shot to win the ten-spot.” ‘‘Some of the agents may be hold- ing out certain characters and bank- ing themselves. If the company finds out, it may draw a certain chamcter 1 to break the agent.” Hints of trouble may cause China- | town to be blockaded at long inter- | vals, but tong shootings have failed | to mar its peace openly for many years.. Not even one shot rang out in the colorful Chinese district here in the last two great tong wars, in 1922 and 1926, although one of them cost more than 20 lives: The last indication of real trouble occurred early this year in a quar- rel over the sale of a bride, and a special guard was set over Chinatown | for several days. But the Chinese, | who also have their own oiganiza- tions to preserve the peace, vigor- ITHIIIIHHHlIIIIlHIlIIlIllllIIII“IIIIIIIITI]IIIIiII||||IIIIIIIlllllllllHHIII|||mI|IUIIIIIllH|||IlUII||IIHIIHIIIIIIIHIIIlllllllIHHIIIIIHIIIIHIHIHIHIIIHHIIIIIIIIlllmlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIlIHIIIIIIIIIIIIII Street, Chinatown’s “Main Street.” ously protected such action as un- necessary. ————————— Modem French Cavemen Live in Cliffs of Loire TCURS, France, Nov. 26—More than 1,300 persons make their homes in artificial caverns their ancestors cut out of the limestone cliffs bor- dering the Loire river. Living in the heart of the chateau country, they are cavemen in the literal, if not anthropological sense. Many dwellings are equipped with 2as, electricity and radios.
