THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1897. LITTLE PETE ~ HAS PASSED His Funeral Made a Gay Holiday in China- town. THE CAMERA FIEND IN CLOVER. While the Widow and Her Chil- dren Wept the See Yups Celebrated. A MOB AT THE CEMETERY PLAYS HAVOC. The Police Have Secur.d Another Suspect—He Is Gee Pon J n, and Is Well Identified. The funersl of Little Pete yesterdsy | formed the occasion of a heathen holiday. When any great thing shall happen in Chinatown in the years to come and some word shall be wanted to draw comparison of ‘the interest manifested, it will be set atongside of “the day that Little Pete was buried.” From the lighting of the first taper on the curb in front of the closed shop where he was shot to death until the mob charged, aimost over his coffin, at the cemetery, carrying away the baked meats and putting to rout the mourners, the affair was an altogether notable one in funerals. Littlg Pete was not & good man in his lifetime, but he had a pull and it made | him greai. Perhaps in his wicked way be was great in the first instance, and tnat secured him the pull, At any rate he was great, at the last, in Chinatown, and his greatness, testified to by a funeral a mile 1 , was the cause of his undoing and ecipitated the faneral upon him pre- maturely. T6 the matter-of-fact native a Chinese funeral, with its barbaric rites and color, d incense and chanting, is always inter- ng. but the interest attaching to Little Pete himself ana his killing being added in this mstance made it a gala day in natown, I the night before there had been go- on in the street in front of the build- where the murder was done, and ere the body now lay, those familiar ry g of cymbals, the incantation of s and the offering to the gods nd meats and drinks. For the been brought from the Morgue 1 the shoe factory on the second t had been owned by the schem- naman. floor above, in the two little that had been their home, the wife children and her friends kept up rmittent moaning. the ovens ana bakeshopsof the neigh- | ood great preparations were going ard, for unheard of quautiti s of reat and pasiry had to be prevared for the appeasing of the ravenous appetites of ods and their consequent propitia- n behalf of the very unsavory record Little Pete. there were great numbers be stitched ners, real and purchased. rday morning early the real ser- although the hour fixed for was ut 1 of the afternoon. The d the machinesand all the work of the factory had been cleared away as much as possible and the handsome black of rites, the burning of punk, | together for the, metallic casket piaced in an “L” of the low ceiled gloomy room in front of the windows. Banked about the head were a profusion of flowers in costly designs, from the friends of the deceased, in white and yellow. At the foot of the casket were numbers } of colored candles and burning sticks of punk that weighted the already heavy atmosphere with their smoke and in- | cense. At the dark, rear end of the big room suspended near the rafters was an altar with the images of heathen gods and more candles and more punk. In the corner of the room opposite to where the casket stood were scattered the widow and children and their supporters, the professional mourners, the latter headdresses. The widow wore over all aJhood and | wrapper of sackcloth, which enveloped | and conceaied ber. | faces were not hidden. The party were grouped upon their knees upon a mat, and kept up a constant and subdued lamentation, which served asan accom | paniment to the incantations of the prie Men dresssed in blue and white gowns stood as sentinels by the casket, and the brother of the dead man stepped about giving directions. |~ A long procession of men, friends of the | deceased, at a given signal came into the | room, and two by two knelt before the | foot of the casket, taking their last fare- | weil. | "All this time the door from the street was open, and those whites as well as Chinese who had the proper influence with the policeman on guard had admit- | tance. Their tobacco smoke | with that of the burning punk. They | shuffled abouttoeether, few of them think- ing to uncover their heads, but all lost in watching the curious spectacle that | was passing. On the boxes and perched | upon the heaps of leather and tindings in | the remote cormers of the black and grimy factory were pigtails of low degree, quite as much interested as the whites, to whom it was all less familiar. Throagh the crowd on the floor there struggled now ana then one of those white women of Chinatown to whom 1t is said *Littie Pete’” in his lifetime had been very generous. One of them brought to bis caskel u little bunch of flowers. In this setting, his fizure half revealed tbrough the glass cover, the dead man’s | ned face looked up to the | aiters, the round hole in his fore- head telling its own story. Outside the street was blocked for | squares away. A squad of twenty-five polizemen found it impossible to keep the thoroushtare open. Every window an the street and every dcor and lamppost was occupied, and housetops all up and down the street were fringed with peoble. | Business in a large part of Chinatown was | practicaily suspended. And just around the cornmer, at the headquarters of the See Yup Tong, that plotted and executed the murder of Little | Pete, was in progress at that a celebration of the event. very moment | While his friends mourned the members | | of the highbinder society made little con- | cealment even in public of their joy at the success of their undertaking. So ap- parent was this that it was feared there might be some interference with the funeral anticipation of the crowds that might, be collecte, decided the directors upon hold- ing ali the services within doors. The police were kept busy in their en- | deavor to keep people moving so that a way might be leit for the hearse and the | carriages of the mourners. attempted to come street, they being stationed and receiving their occupants in the remote side streets.

There the crush was almost as great as it had been in the City. The Sam Yup cemetery is a little patch of ground adjoining the Jewish cemetery at the further limits of Richmond. The purpose of going there was not to inter the body, but only to complete the funeral ceremony, for afterward the body was taken back to the undertaker’s, there to remain some time and be finally sent to China. The road leading to the cemetary was darkened for a mile by people who fol- lowed the slow procession. They came by streetcar, on bikes and by private con- veyance, and when the hearse drew up at the gate, the platform provided for the casket and the mourners and the priest had already been pre-empted. A mounted policeman rode into the mass before it would disperse. At one end of the plat- this was spread the roast pigs and sheep, poultry, trays of rice and of tea and gin, that weighted down several wagons in their transportation. The casket was put in place, and the mourners took their places about it, and were so pressed upon by the crowd as to be scarcely able to retain their place: The bonfire that makes a part of the cere- mony had to be lit at a considerable dis- tance away. People climbed upon the monuments thut flank the’ place and broke down some trees in the neighbor- hood, trying to hang on to the branches. The ceremony was shortened on this ac- count. Then come the most remarkable scene of all. Immediately upon the removal of the casket to the hearse again and the withdrawal of the mourners to their bag- gace-wagon, the crowd developed into & mob and made a rush npon the table filled with meats. A woman started it. She wanted a souvenir of the funeral of Little Pete and, stepping forward, took one of the little vessels that make a part of the spread. The crowd yelled and in two minutes the table was swept clear of the more portable things. A man pickea up a dish of rice and threw it over the crowd, creating a panic. away, escorting the mourners, hearing | the noise, returned in time to see four men dragging away the carcass of 2| roast hog. He dashed through the crowd, overtook and compelled them to carry it back again, amid the hoots of the crowd. Thus ended the public funeral service of Little Pete. The throng stracgled back to town, carrying with it a sense of hav- ing been well entertained. For three days the widow will make lamentations at the undertaking estab- | lishment, and then the body will be placed in a receiving vau!t at Laurel Hill until, the estate having been seitled up, it will be sent to China, and widow and children will go with it. The Chinese New Year will begin on Monday. It has been stated that widow of Little Pete has expressed a wil- lingness to go home during the zirst month of the new year, taking with her but $10,000, and that she wishes tke re- mainder used in paying legal fees, funeral expenses and costs of settling up affairs in general, but principally to be used in the detection, arrest and prosecution of her —_——— HIS HEATHEN PRAYER. Something of the Meaning of the Ritual Performed Over “‘Little Pete’s” Remalns. The incantation of the prest in yester- day’s ceremony consisted of the Faoist chant, and it was accompanied with a parr of rosewood clappers. The chant is adopted from the Sanskrit, and none but the priests themselves can understand the literai signification. The meaning of the chant of the priest is simply that of a prayer. In it he be- seeches the Chinese Pluto, Yung Loh ‘Wong, to be merciful to the spirit of the dead man. s ANOTHER SUSPECT. Gee Pon Jin In Jall at the Instance | of Frank Mason. Another Mongolian of vicious appear- ance is confined in the tanks of the City Prison under suspicion of having fired tha shots that closed the career of “Little Pete.”” Heis known by his fellow pagan associates as Gee Pon Jin. The police ac- cept the name as correct, as it is of slight importance. They know him 1o be a member of the Suey Sing Tong, a reckless man in high- binder controversy, and have a fairly zood case against him, %o they are con- tent. Frank Mason, an ex-fireman, is the most important witness against the pris- oner. He had passed through Ross alley into Washington street on the night of the murder, and Was standing near the barber-shop when *“Little Pete” was shot to death. Two Chinamen, one of them the assas- sin, sprang from the doorway and hur- ried past the ex-fireman. Plenty of light was shining from the windows on the street, and Mason impressed the features of the fleeing highbinders on his mind. Since that time Mason has been fre- quenting the Mongolian quarters, hoping to meet the Chinaman he bad seen hurry- ing from the scene of the killing. Last evening he was successiul and noticed Gee Pon Jin entering atenement house at 824 Washington street. He notified Officer W. H. Young and they returned to the lodging-house togetber. After a ciimb up a dark flight of stairs, the policeman and his informant located the room entered by the desired China- man. He was sitting among a dozen of his fellow countrymen. Mason pointed him out, and he was placed under arrest. Bergeant Mooney of the Chinatown squad was informed of the arrest and will trace Gee Poun Jin’s movements since the mur- der. R MANY MEN GUARDED. Chinatown R sts Under an Awful Suspense. Lurking in the dimly lighted streets and dark, foul-smelling alleys of Chinatown are scores of highbinders thirsting fof the lucre that will come into their itchiug palms by the shedding of human blood. Many of these fiends in human shape are strangers to the denizens of the Chinese quarter—hatchetmen brought from the interior and coast towns for a price to avenge the death of “Little Pete.” Foremost among the men marked for slaughter is Cnin Hen Shin, better known | as “Big Jim,” a man reputed to be worth nearly a million dollars. He owns aclub- house on Waverly place, various business houses and banks and extensive property in China. Everywhere “Big Jim” goes he is closely guarded by a Caucasian. Profiting by the carelessness of *Little Pete,” “Big Jim" | never permits his gna:d out of sight foran instant. The Sam Yups have notaing in par- ticular against the Celestial in guestion, but he is the richest and most influential man among the See Yups, and that has branded him. The price on his head is Then there is Ung Hung, commonly known as “the Russian,” intervreter and policeman for tné Sam Yups and a per- sonal friena of “Little Pete.’” He must die, the See Yups say, because he knows too much about the murder and may choose to tell it atany time. His beaa is worth just $2500 to some highbinder, and is considered cheap at that, because he was instrumental in the arrest of the two suspects now in jail. Hung, however, has employed Tom Douglas, Douglas, as bodyguard. A price of $2000 also rests on the head of Sin Goon, a warm personal friend of “Little Pete.” He has employed Tom Conboy as guard, and the two are more inseparable than schoolkoy chums. Donz Gong, the Chinese interpreter, never goes out witbout a guard, and sel- dom is seen on the streets at all. Guards, in fact, are a regular fad in Chinatown now. So bitter is the feud that a See Yup translator, who was present to act as trans- lator of the priest's sermon at Pete's funeral, was complained of to Attorney Riordan, and asked by that gentleman to leave in order to avoid trouble. The See Yups say they have all those who 100k & prominent part in the arrange- ments for Pete’s funeral mentally noted, and they will probably prepare the por- tion of lead due them.

The Improvement Is Very Ne- cessary, but the Method Is Questioned. Several Citizens Believe That the Supervisors Are Beginning at the Wrong End. The resolution passed by the Board of Supervisors on Monday looking to the bonding of the City in order to raise funds for the creation of a modern sewer system was the subject of much comment yester- day among people conversant with large engineering undertakings. The resolution was that the Supervisors ask the Legisla- ture to pass an act to submit to the taxpay- ers a proposition to issue 4 per cent bonds to run forty years. In addition to the plan to complete a sewer system compatible with the City’s growth and needs the Supervisors ptt on a rider by adding, “and to clear itself (San Francisco) of a just indebtedness which was contracted in the legitimate pursuit of its business.” This last clause may provoke some opposttion, for a num- ber of the business men of this City be- lieve that this just indebtedness may be provided for in other ways than by bond- ing. Whatever may be the result of the reso- 'ution it is safe to say that it will be at least haif a dozen years and maybe more before Sun Francisco has a complete or even a partly completed sewer system. C. Evald Grunsky, the civil engineer, is probably one of the most enlightened men on the sewer system of this City, for he has made an oflicial examination of the entire matter, and his report to the Board of Supervisors is in the municipal reports of 1893-94. In 1892 the Supervisors created a com- mission of three to investigaie the scwer system of this City. The Commissioners were Colone! George H. Mendeli, Professor George Davidson and Irving M. Scott. They selected as active engineers C. E. Gransky and Marsden Manson. The two labored hard and found the task even greater than they had antici- pated. To their surprise they found that the City had practically no records of its sewer system as 10 the size thereof, grades, how constructed or of the existence of sewers in some streets at all. In consequence the engineers were obliged to go over the entire City to obtain the necessary data. To say that they found the system,1f such it can be called, in a wretched coudition, would be putting it too mildly. Speaking of the matter of bonding the City, Mr. Grunsky said: “The City can- not issue bonas without knowing the cost or plans based vpon a definite project, and this project sbou.d Le evoived by compe- tent engineers. Beiore even thinking of the bonding matter, a commission shouid have at least two years to form a plan for a \fmwm, and the engineers would require at least $10,000 to perform their work prop- erly.” Julian Sonntag, president of the Manu- facturers’ und Producers’ Association, is an enthusiastic advocate of the bonding proposition, for he said: “I believe that it is just, and I would hail such an act with great satisfaction. With a proper sewer- age system I am sure that the mortality of this City would be decreased by 15 per cent. During the past few months the death rate from diphtheria and kindred diseases that arise from impuriiies such such as this City is subject to has been 21 in 1000. Think of it. That this City is sadly in need of a perfect modern sewer system goes without saying. There would be no trouble in bonding the City; that is the public would not object to such a course if it was known that the work would be done without the usual jobbery. Nearly all the opposition that comes from the people is caused by the fear that for every dollar’s worth of work actually per- 7/ % 7 , 777 % & h wl,/“\ Ll i it il \\"\\ AN Funeral Procession of “Little Pete” as It Started From His Late Residence and Scene of the Murder on Washington, Street.

MARKET AND TAYLOR STS “If this propositiofi assumes favorable shape I will have a proposition to sub- mit 10 the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association with a view of having it sub- mitted oy tkis body to the Board of Su- pervisors. The purpose is to throw such safeguards aronnd the whole matter as will prevent jobbery. Mv prorosition is thie: Thatthe Board of Supervisorsen- list the good offices of Senators Perkins and White in a request to the Federal Government to secure the services of two or more United States Engineers from the army corps who will exercise a superin- tendency of the consiruction of the sewer system of this City. I would have the Supervisors piace the entire matter of con- structing the sewerage system in the hands of the Mayor and these army engi- neers suggested. My reason for wanting the Federal engineers to take practical charge of the work is because these army officers, who hold oftice for life, either in active service or under a pension when they grow old, cannot be corrupted by contractors or political jobbers. 1f this matter takes definite shape I believe that the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asso- ciation will stand by the suggestion in the interests of honesiy. Unless something of this kind is done I am afraid thatit will be the same old story of fleecing the taxpayers in the interests of the political jobbers and contractors.’” President Dohrmann of the Merchants’ Association shook his head when the roposition of raisme funds by issuing ity bonds was made to him and he said: “I am in favor of the City paving its debts as soon asitcan. Iam most beartily in favor of an improved and perfected sew- eruge system and the issuing of bonds for that purpose; but as to the present sug- gestion for raising money by bonding the City I am opposed 10 it. What is my rea« son? ltisthis: We are not prepareu to doso now. Itisnotthe proper time. Be- fore the City can be ronded we must have a better municipal syst m of government, a new charter and a general better busi- ness system under which such business can be transacted. If we bond the City in our present condition difficulties and tan- gles of a most compiex and embar- Tassing nature will arise.’’ President Dobrmann, in disenssing the sewerage system, gave expression 10 the views that are set forth in the advance copy of the Merchants’ Association’s Re- view of February. which reads as follows: The probiem of devising a correct sysiem of sewerage for San Francisco is one of such greal magnitude as 1o require most careful consideration. No hasty or ill-advised plans should be adopted. We belipve that the a; poiutment of the competent engineers in 1892 10 investigate the condition and actual needs of the sewerage system of San Francisco was a. step in the right direction. We strongly rec- ommend (hut u commission vf the most cap- able and re iable ongineers be appointed by the City to continue ihe work begun by the previous sewerage commission. Aiter & careful and thorough report has been omcially made by a commission of the most trustworthy engineers, the City authorities shouid caut ously proceed to provide ways and means for the construction of a correct system of sewerage. The cost of this immense improyement would be 100 great to be raised .| by ordinary taxation inou¢ yesr or several fiscal years, but_should be provided by bond- ing the City for_a sufficient amount as pre- scribed by law. Posterily wouid enjoy the un- told blessings of an improv.d sewerage system equally as_much as tic present generation, and, therefore, the expense should b justly Qistributed over a long period of years. | Resuming, President Dobrmann said formed taxpayers are swindled out of $2. | that when Mr. Grunsky and Mr. Manson made their report of the cost of and plans for a perfect sewerage system the City cut the work off, and since then nothing has been done in that line. The Merchants' As- sociation proposes to petition the Board of Supervisors 1o have the work taken up where it was left off several vears ago, and thereby save the trouble of going all over the same ground again. The association will ask that a commission to this end be appointed to look into the cost and re- quirements of this much-needed improve- ment, and then for the City 10 be siow and cautious in the manner of baving ihe work gone. For such work the City will no doub: have to be bonded, but the City should not be bonded for old debts, which should be provided for in other ways. In addition to the recommendation by the association set forth that body would in- clude in the object of the bonds such matters as the improvement of sireets, better pavements and the repairing of the principal streets of the City.
