16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 1896. GIGANTIC SCHEME T0 LAND CHINESE: Local Firms Enter Greedily Into the Proposi- tion. OFFERED BIG BRIBES. Chin Wah Maw Makes an Abortive Attempt to Corrupt a Federal Officer. FULL DETAILS OF THE PLAN. Men and Women to Be Fraudulently Landed Through the Port of San Francisco. Probably the most gigantic scheme ever evolved to cheat the Government has just come to light. It is nothing less than the wholesale illegal landing of Chinese men and women. It is proposed and in part undertaken to fraudulently land 250 Celestials at this port during the next twelve months. For this service several prominent Chinese firms agree to pay $100 a head for the men and $400 for every an who success- fully passes the vi nce of Collector ‘Wise's inspectors. Nor is thisall. If the scheme works well from the start it 1s proposed to gradually extend operations until the whole customs force is involved. In other wo rds, the smooth-dealing Chinese are an xious to spend sufficient mon ey to corrupt the entire local force if they can only be half way assured that their brethre n from across the sea will not be asked to produce such trivial things as registration papers or merchants’ certifi- cates. For audacity this latest attempt of the almond-eyed citizen to beguile nis white brother in the interest of his foreign cous- ins is deserving or more than passing no- tice. Some ten days ago a little, yellow, shriv- eled-up Chinese. Chin WahMaw by na me, with more nerve than cuteness, ap- proachea a gentieman high in Federal cir- cles with a proposition to make, as he ex- pressed it, *“Big money.” ‘It is just like finding it in the road,” warbled the Chi- nese, and then, drooping back into pigeon Englisii, aaded: *“You fix-um certificate; makee heap big money.”’ The official, however, did not take kindly to the proposition, though he ap- peared to. Chin Wah was requested to call later in the day, when he would be placed in a way to accomplish the purpose nearest his heart. Accordingly at the ap- pointed hour Maw appeared and was then introduced to a gentleman as the ‘‘one person in all San Francisco who could ar- range the matter.”” He was supposed to be close to the inspectors, and, conse- quently, would have no trouble in landing as many Chinese men and women as local parties might find themselves in a positioa to pay for. Chin Wah Maw, highly elated at the success of his scheme, then arranged for a meeting between the man who professed 0 be able to land Chinese galore and_the men who expected to put up the coin. Last Thursday night a week ago the first meet- ing occurred at the store of Mow Tuck & Co., successors to Shew Ching Teong & Co., 710 Commercial street. On this occa- sion only the formalities o1 the scheme were discussad, but everybody appeared to be perfectly satisfied with the situation. On the night followingk another confer- NEW TO-DAY.

Potter Drug a h-‘-l-ull: ence took place, when all the details of the plot were gone over. It was agreed to land 250 Chinese, the sum of $100 to be paid for every man and $400 for every woman. Then it was the Chinese showed their complete familiarity with the situa- tion. They wanted to know of the white agent if the pictures shonld be made in China, or would he see to that at thisend. They were also anxious to secure_certificates of registration and were willing to pay & little extra for the accommodation. 1t was further agreed that no money was to be paid until the Chiness were actually landed, but in the meantime the coin was to be placed in the hands of Mow Tuck & Co., payable to the white agent thirty days after the arrival of a China steamer, it being understood of course that no money would be paid for such Chinese as failed to land. Acting on this agreement Chin Wah ad- dressed a long communication to his friends in China setting forth the facts as above recorded and further requesting that three men be sent by the next steamer., This letter was sert on the steamer Gaelic and should be nearing its destination by this time. It is quite likely, therefore, that on her return trip the Gaelic will have three passengers who ex- pect to land at the port of San Francisco. That they will be disappointed goes with- out saying. The scheme has been laid be- fore Collector Wise, and the local Chinese have been made to feel this. They will be out the passage money of their cousins from over the sea, though they are prob- ably thankful at \:eiug able to escape 8o easily. There is no law to fit a conspiracy of this character. An overtact must be com- mitted before legal proceedings can be in- stituted. “Jt i= a great pity,’’ said Assistant United States Attorney Scléssinger yester- day, “‘that the Chinese exclusion act does not contain a provision for just such cases as this.

I think I may say withont reservation that this present attempt at corruption is the most audacious of which 1 have any knowledge. These people have evidently been in the same business be- fore, but in some way have lost their old pull. The recent shake-up among the in- spectors may acconnt for it, though this is, of course, not capable of proof.” The facts as recorded above were com- mon property in Federal circles yester- day, and naturally created no little com- ment. The Collector has the names of all the parties to the attempted corrupiion, and will no doubt keep a watchful eye on them in the future. PROPERTY-OWNERS ASTIR New Club Formed for the Im- provement of the Hospital Block. The Special Obj:ct of the Meeting Was the Condemnation of the So- Called “ Buckman’s Camp.” A large meet ing of property-owners and residents of the section of the City sur- rounding the property known as the Hos- pital Block and bounded by Steiner, Scott, Waller and Ridley streets was held at 728 Haight street last evening for the purpose of forming a club to secure the abatement of the public nuisance known as ‘‘Buck- man’s Camp,” and to insist upon the early settlement of the litigation now pending concerning the ownership of the property, Addresses were made by S. E. Priber, A. Hockstein, Jo hn Furness, F. Bragg, W. M. Abbott, C. B. Perkins, J. W. Stetson and others, after which a club was organized, which will be known as the ‘“Hospital Lot Improvement Club.” The following were elected officers: 8. E. Priver, President; H. Keenan, vice- president; C. B. Perkins, secretary; A. H ockstein, treasurer; John furness, b. G. Dexter, W. Schulte, C. A. Bruns, H. Mah- ler, executive committee. The following resolutions were unani- mously adopted. ‘WHEREAS, Through the earnest diligencs of the Health Department, the attention of this community has been called to the dangerous and filthy condition of the camp owned by Contractor A. E. Buckman, and situated on the lots known as the hospital lot; and where- as, we have been partially rescued from an awful epidemic of disease and death through this early discovery, be it Resolved, That the thanks of this entire com- munity are due and are hereby expressed to the Board of Healtk: of the City and County of San Francisco for their promptness in dealing with this gross violation of the health laws; further, Resolved, That we ask for the immediate con- demnation‘of this camp as a public nuisance, a breeder of disease, a menace to the health of the community; and that the president, secre- tary and treasurer of this club present these resolutions ana subject matter to the Board of Health. A. Ruef and W. M. Abbott were elected attorneys of the club. 8. E. Priber and H. Keenan were elected delegates to the Charter Convention. e THE SUICIDE QUESTION Will Be Discussed This Evening at Golden Gate Hall. . The question of “Suicide” will be dis- cussed by the Theosophical Society at Golden Gate Hall this evening. Dr. Je- rome A. Anderson, president of the San Francisco society, will deliver a lecture on the subject, taking the side, of course, that suicide is never justifiable, and always entails upon the sufferer greater evils than those he seeks to fly from. After the lecture a half hour will be de- voted to answering questions either upon the subject of the evening, or some other theosophical subject. MR A ‘Young men or 0! should not fall to read Thomas Slater's advertisement on page & dence of Mrs. Sydney L. Marsh, at 2117 Hyde street. The manner by which the entry was made, and also the identity of the burg- lars, is as yet a secret. The fact, how- ever, that the entry was made and the bouse ransacked is unquestionable. Appearances indicated that the two mid- night vagabonds must have had some previous knowledge of the wealth of Mrs. Marsh and that the entry was not made haphazard; also that they knew that this lady was alone save for the presence of a little girl, too young to be of any assist- ance in case the villains should proceed to do her bodily injury. The first knowledge Mrs. Marsh had that there were unwelcome visitors in her rooms was when her little companion woke her by saying she heard some noise. On coming to her senses from a sound slumber the lady saw between her bed and an open window the figure of a man. On asking the question who it was, the gruff answer of a desperate thief came back, telling her that if she valued her life she would keep quiet, for an alarm meant to her a cut throat on the same scale as the aged Mrs, Langfeldt, The admonition had its effect upon Mrs. Marsh, for she kept perfectly quiet while the masked face of a robber was over her in the bed, while his companion, who was also masked, went through every room, carefully exarcining the bureau drawers, closets and other receptacles whers val- uables would be most likely to be put away for safe keeping. < Having packed up all the jewelry and valuables to which they took a fancy the thieves deliberately walked down the front stairs and out into the street, leaving be- hind them a terrorized lady and a fainting child. The little child became so frightened by seeing two men with masks over their faces that she went into convulsions, the effects of which brought on a severe fit of retching, which did not subside for several days after, thus leaving her utterly pros- trated. As soon as daylight appeared Mrs. Marsh called her next-door neighbor at No. 2115 and informed her of what had taken place. Being & friend of Captain Lees no time was lost in informing him of the incidents of the previous night. The captain was absorbed during the re- cital of the story and after-having heard all the details he positively cautioned the lady that under no circumstances should she impart to newspaper reporters what had happened and that no doubt in the course of a few days the masked burglars would be behind the bars and probably her valuables restored. Mrs, Marsh observed the injunction, but the booty and burglars have disappeared without the faintest clew having been ob- tained by the detectives. TO PURIFY POLITICS. The Civie Federation Will Probably Take an Active Part in Municipal Affairs. The Civic Federation proposes to purify local politics. If it cannot be done peace- ably then the organization will resort to drastic measures. This much was decided at a meeting of the executive committee yesterday. The principal thing now worrying the com- mittee, however, is the correct method of procedure. Some are in favor of .. vigor- ous attack on the several parties, while others advise a more pacific course. All are agreed, however, that something must be done. The committee on local politics, consist- ing of C. B. Perkins, D. Gilbert Dexter, Colonel Lambvert and George T. Gaden, made an informal report to the executive committee. The report weni at length into local affairs political. 1t deplored the “dence. divided condition of the two old parties, urging that they either come together or make room for a party with pure prin- ciples. It deplored the custom of Dflnsjm‘ National affairs into local politics, adding that municipal matters should not be con- sidered from a political standpoint. The report wound up with a recommen- dation that all the civic clubs in the City come together for the one purpose of in- stituting a movement that wouid have for its object the indorsement of a pure mu- nicipal government, regardless of party. Dr. Dille said last night that the Civic Federation would not indorse any party or candidate—to take such a step would be the very undoing of the organization. He thought it probable, however, that the individual members would take an active band in any movement which claimed for its object a purer municipality. He far- ther said the report of the political com- mittee would be submitted to the Civic Federation at the general meeting to be beld next Friday night, though he did not think it wo:\lx be accepted in its pres- ent shape. ZEALOUS ENDEAVORERS. What Those Christian Young FPeople Are Doing for the Cause They Have Espoused. The Christian Endeavorers have for a time felt that the sailors would enjoy an “at home’’ social, and so last Friday even- ing, under the direction of George Duncan Jr., chairman of the social committee, and through the kindness of Mr.and Mrs. J. A. Hofmann, the first “at home’ social was held at Mr. and Mrs. Hofmann’s resi- Beveral sailors from the ships Almora, Wasdale and Cambuskenneth were invited, as well as many prominent Endeavorers, who all helped to maxe the evening a pleasant one. An appropriate programme of song and mstrumental music was rendered, after which refreshments were served. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. J. A, Hofmann, E. E. Painter, James Saunders, P. Huxley, Miss Hofmann, George Dun- can Jr., Frederic Nockels, Jacob Singleton, T. Glover, C. Lackeman, Dr. Hofmann, Miss Lizzie Hofmann, Miss Barrows, Miss L. Hamilton, C. R. Persons, J. F. Mason, Miss Josie Hofmanp, Miss Martha May Hofmann, Miss Kimball, Alexander Hampton. The semi-annual meeting of the Young People’s Association of San Francisco Presbytery will be held in Calvary Pres- byterian Church Monday evening, August 17 at 7:45 o'clock. It is the object of this association to promote and extend the work of the young people’s societies in the Presbyierian churches of San Fran- cisco; to engage in missionary and phi- lanthropic enter}nisea and to advance in every way possible the cause of Presbyte- rianism. The meeting will be in the form of a missionary rally. After a praise service of song three or four minute talks will be E'lven on the following subjects: “What ur Societies Have Done for Missions During _the Past Year,” Miss Belle Stan- ford; “What More They Can Do,”’ Miss Allen; “How to Do It,” Mrs. T. C. Pedlar. Addresses on home apd foreign missions will be given by those well able to do the subjects justice, After the hearty indorse- ment of the Christian Endeavor movement by the last General Assembly the young people of the Presbyterian denomination 1eel more willing than ever to further the work of Presbyterianism. The eleventh anniversary of the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor of Bethany Congregational Church will be held this evening at half-past 6 o’clock. In the morning the pastor, Rev. W. C. Pona, will preach a sermon_especially ap- licable to the occasion and with particu- ar reference to the work of Bewhany So- ciety.. Miss Violet Lamont, the president of the society, will give an interesting re- port of the work of the society in the even- at 6:30. Mr. Reid, State secretary, will deliver an address, and interesting n;luu‘ircal selections will be rendered by the choir. BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY The Residence of J. L. Breyer, Stevenson Street, Thor- oughly Ransacked. A Young Man With a Black Mus- tache Was Seen to Enter and to Leave It. The residence of J. L. Breyer, 784 Ste- venson street, was entered by a burglar yesterday afternoon and thoroughly ran- sacked. Mrs. Breyer left the house at 2 o’clock to #o downtown and returned about an bour later. Bhe was surprised to find every- thing in confusion. - The contents of bu- reau-drawers were strewn upon the floor, mattresses had been ripped open and searched for money or valuables, and even a child’s bank, containing about $8, had been forced open and the money stolen. A fiold watch, a silver watch, several rings and other articles of jewelry were also missing. In fact, everything in the shape of jewelry or money was stolen. In his search the thief even tore the pictures from the walls and examined the rear parts to see if anything could be stowed away there for safety. Mrs. Breyer hurried to her husband’s crockery-store on Market street and told him about the burglary. He at once went with ber to police headguarters and gave a list of the missing articles. Some of the neighbors saw a well-dressed {oung man with a black mustache insert a ey in the lock of the front door a few minutes after Mrs. Breyer had left and enter the house. The young fellow’s boldness took away any suspicion from their minds that he was a burglar, al- though they thought it peculiar that a stranger should have a key to the front door. They also saw him leaving the house and walking away quite unconcern- edly in about half an hour. The police have received complaints re- cently about a young man answering that description who had been seen prowling round houses that have been broken into, and every effort will be made to capture him, —_———— SEVERED 1* WINDPIPE, Christian Bander, a Despondent La- borer, Tries to End His Life. Christian Bander, a laborer, 40 years of age, living at 16 Victor street, attempted to commit suicide yesterday morning by cutting his throat with a large table-knife. He had beenout of work for the past two months, and became despondent, the more 5o as his wife had been forced to go out working to keep them from starving. About so’cfuck yesterday morning Bander went into a back room and cut his throat, severing the windpipe. His son a few minutes later saw him lying on the floor with the blood pouring from the wound in his throat. The boy alarmed the neighbors, who summoned the ambulance. Mr. Bander was taken to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Kearney and Steward Bucier. who accompanied ' the ambulance, promptly stopved the flow of blood, and at the hospital the doctor stitched and dressed the wound. Bander was later sent to the City and County Hospital. ———————— Frank Gilfether Explains.

The Story of How Edward Gressler Lost His Winnings. DECLARED TO BE BOGTUS. Purchased in the Company’s Oifice, but Said to Be Spurious. SINGLE COUPONS ARE SOLD. How the Public Is Duped Into Buy- ing “Chances” That Have No Chance. Ed Gressler's dream of wealth is o'er, and all because the Little Louisiana Lot~ tery Company failed to pay the prizes won by three tickets sold for the last monthly drawing. . Gressler 1s a City salesman for M. A. Gunst, the Kearny-street cigar-dealer and Police Commissioner, and in the course of his travels comes in contact with many sporty cigar and liquor dealers who are in the habit of buying tickets for the lot- tery drawings. He is often asked to take an interest in batches of tickets and quite as often is given the coin for a line of tickets and asked to purchase them when be finds a dealer. Just previous to the last drawing of the lottery Gressler ‘“‘went in” with a friend and boughtsix 25-cent tickets, the bits of papers called coupons being purchased at the headquarters of the concern only a day before the numbers were announced. The alleged winning numbers in the Little Louisiana are the same as those of the Honduras National Lottery, the successor of the Original Louisiana Lottery, and prizes come about as often as those of the big concern that was forced out of busi- nessin the United States when the Louisi- ana charter of the company expired. When the result of the drawing at Puerto Cortez was announced in the pa- pers that publisf such matters Gressler was overjoved. His tickets showed that he had won the first, second and third prizes, amounting to $7500, and he imme- diately prepared to carry out several finan- cial schemes that had been on his mind for some time. He was in no huiry to cash the precious tickets, preferring to show them to friends as evidence of his good fortune before they were transferred to the keeping of the lottery managers in exchangze for $7500 coin of the realm. Finally, however, he presented himself with a friend at the office of the company and demanded his coin, “Just put it up in rolls of twenties,” he said, “‘and I will put it in this satchel.”” The clerk in attendance glanced at the tickets he presented and took a hurried trip to the rear of the place where the powers that control the lottery have their abiding-place. In a moment he returned with the tickets, and, tossing them over the counter to Gressler, said: “Those are no pood. They are bogus.” “But I bonsht them right over this counter,” said Gressler, his face paling as the visions of gold faded from his eyes. “*Can’t help that,” said the clerk, “those are counterfeit tickeis. We have already paid the prizes to the holders of the genuine tickets.” Too dazed to expostulate further Gress- ler left the place, a saader but wiser man, and now he invests none of his hard- earned money in lottery tickets. Since the payment of the tickets was refused thes cigar drummer has been on a still hunt for some explanation of the combination of circumstances that cost him $7500, as he figures it. He claims to have discovered that the winning numbers in the Honduras draw- ing are telegraphed to San Francisco sev- eral davs before the list is published, and that, in case the winning numbers are not sold, the tickets are not sold but are held out and reported as not having been dis- posed of. If they are sold they are as often de- clared spurious as paid. He believes that the tickets hegnmnaaefl were put on one side to be held out and were given him by mistake. One of Gressler's fellow em- ployes in the Gunst establishment went with him to see why the tickets were not honored, but got no more satisfaction than was accordea the original purchaser. ———————————————— NEW TO-DAY. ————— WHY PAY .
