S— s THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, CHINATOWN N TEARS Police and Federal Officers Descend Upon Its Dark Places. SIXTY WOMEN CAUGHT IN THE DRAGNET. A Coup to Gather In Some Recent Arrivais for De- portation. TEIRTEEN SUSPECTS HELD FOR EXAMINATION. The Initial Step in What Promises to Becoms a Nasty Custom-Housa Scandal. The officials of the Treasury Depart- ment are about to inaugurate a vigorous campaign against the illegal landing of mainder of the women were escortea to thewr various houses by. the police and quiet and peace once more reigned in the Chinese half world. Not so_with the unlucky thirteen. As soon as they discovered they were marked for further identification there was a wail- | ing and a tom-toming that the widows of Ashur_could not approach. The women were formally placed under arrest by Gardiner, amid general hysteria. An apartment in the upper floor of the mis- sion-house was converted into a temporary bastile, and here the schbing Chinawomen spent the night in charge of Officer Kerri- son, The names of the suspects are Poon Kam, Yuen Lin, Chang Ngan Ying, Wai Lim Oy, Yme Ho, Yehe Ho, Ab Kew, Yuet You, Yuet Kan, Tai Choy, Ah Tai, | Ah Yuet aud Ah Ngan. For the most | part they are in their teens and are all re- cent arrivals in. this City. The places where they were found leave no doubt as to the purpose for which they were brought here. It is the programine of the special agents of the treasury to make a testcase of these thirteen women. They will be arraigned | before Commissioner Heacock at once, and the Government hopes to prove that they have been illegally landed and will ask for their deportation. If this isac- complished there is likely to be a sad de- | crease in the female population of China- | town, as it is the general belief of the offi- | cials "that not ome in ten of the Chinese women in this City are here legally. The deportation of these women would proba- bly result in wholesale raids onall the dis- reputable places in Chinatown. There sre rumors of an uely scandal stalking bebind the present proceedings. For a long time there have been intima- tions on the part of the Treasury Depart- | ment that Chinese were coming’ illegally | into this port in large numoers. The ar- | rival of Special Agents West, Cullom and | Channing from Washington some weeks | ago added a peculiar sienificance to these | reports. Since that time it has been com- | mon talk about the Federal building that | there were ;to be some exposures in Cus- | tom-bouse "circles, that would be far- reaching and implicate many people. Those who place credence in these ramors | say toat yesterday’s work is the begin- THOSE BIG HATS “ARE NOW SAFE Supervisor Rottanzi’'s The- ater Ordinance Is Killed. Joseph Cuneo Claims Big Dam- ages’ Against the Munici- pality. Professor Neumann Asks the City to Protect the Natural California Silkworm. “Knocked into a cocked hat” is an ex- pression that might aptly have been ap- plied to Supervisor Rottanzi’s ordinance against the wearing of large headgear by ladies while at the theater when the Supervisors got through with the measure yesterday. It is not generally known whetber or not Supervisors Smith, Sheehan and Lack- man, who compose the Judiciary Commit- tee, are married men, but if not they must have lady iriends who delight 1n the lofty | creations of the milliner's art, for they unanimously recommended that the order be laid on the shelf. ‘When the matter came upin the regular order of business there were evidences SEPARATING THE GOATS FROM THE LAMBS. The Police Department, at the request of the Special Agents of the Treasury, raided the principal brothels in China- town yesterday and gathered in sixty of the inmates. his number thirteen were taken into custody on suspicion of beng illegaily landed, after comparison with photographs in the Chinese Bureau. The Treasury Department will bring their cases at once before the United States Commissioners and hope to effect their deportation. big Custom-house scandal is to follow. There are rumors thata Chinese women in this port and incident- ally deal a blow at the traffic tte local missions have long fought in vain. Possibly there is something deeper than mere purposes of morality in tnis de- cision of the officers of the Government. There are rumors that the long-talked-of scandals about the Custom-house are to be ventilated. By way of beginning, a round-up of a number of the most unsavory plzces in Chinatown was made yesterday aitornoon for the purpose of getting into custody | fourteen Chinese women who recently ar- rived here from Asia and against whom the treasury agents have evidence by which they hope to deport them. It was a raid such as the Mongolian quarter has not seen since the death of Little Pete, when Sergeant Price turned loose his squad on the joss-houses, poker-rooms and high- binders. The plan of the attack had been care- fully planned by Special Agent Moore of the Treasury Department, but its execu- tion was assigned to the police depart- ment. operations, ascisted by Sergeants Cooke and Helms and twenty-eight police offi- cers. In all sixty Chinese women fellinto the police dragnet, and in tnis number the Treasury Department discovered thir- teen of the jourteen suspects they were on the lookout for. Eiaborate preparations had been made for the raid. The treasury people had pre- pared & map of Chinatown showing the Jocation of the principal disreputable houses. The most important of these es- tablishments were seiecied for the on- slaught, and Wittman toid off his force in squads accordingly. The inmates of nine houses in all were gathered in. Tue onslaught was made simultaneously atall places at 32 o'clock, and was as sud- densas it was unexpected. There was no hitch in the success of the plan, and half | an hour later the Presbyterian Mission- “house at 920 Sacramento street was filled with as motley a throng of the women of the Chinese siums as was ever gathered to- gether. There was no ceremony in the descent of the police. Divided nto squads of ibree, they hammered down barred doors and dived into dark stairways and blind corridors in a way that caused a panic all along the lines. The two houses in Bartlett alley, near Pacific, were regular beehives and yielded eighteen people to the drag- net. At 744 Washington and 822 Jackson street, two of the most notorious resorts in Chinatown, a wholesale clean-up was effected. Two other houses on the south side of Washington street, near Dupont, the houses at 22, 23 and 25 Sullivan alley and one on the north side of Baker alley, Dear Sullivan alley, completed the hist. The women were arranced in the order of their arrest at the mission-house, and were carefully scrutinized by Interpreter Gardiner, who had been detailed to iden- tify them by Special Agent Moore. Gar- diner compared each and all with a batch of phoiographs from the Chinese bureau, wich a result that after two hours' tedious work he found thirteen of those whom the police were most anxious to get. The moment this decision took place the re- Captain Wittman had charge of | | ningof the interesting things that are to come. or months past Moore and the secret service people have silently but surely | been preparing plans for 8 vigorous cam- | paign against the system of importing Chinese in direct violation of the exclu- sion act. They discovered that the busi- ness was flourishing and_constantly on the increase. The traffic in women was | an incentive to the importation of large numbers of Chinese girls, and in almost every instance these passed right under the nose of the custom officials. It happens that the records of Chinese registration do not extend farther back than 1882 Thus, when a young girl was landed it was cusiomary in ca-e of any dispute with the officers, to produce affi- davits that she was born 'in_this country and prior 1o 1882. It was the late Littie Pete thatdeveloped this system, and much | of his fortune was made in the importa- | tion of women. Ouce in San Francisco the immigrants commanded a good price, and thus the business of importing girls was further stimulated by the certain prospect of big reward. Some time ago one of the Six Companies made a move to stop this trade in live- | stock and employed Attorney Henry E. | Monroe to device some meaas to puta | check to the illegal importations. Monroe was seconded in his efforts by tl:e various | missionary societies, and he discovered | evidence which led him to believe that the | real fault lay with the Custom-house people. This he communicated to the treasury agenis and requested their as- sistance. In the course of their investiga- tious they found that almost as soon as a girl passed the Custor-house examination she fell into the hands of the keepers of the disreputable houses. The “father,” who had stood sponsor for the details of her birth, disposed of ier, immediately after she was safely landed, 1o the highest bidder. There are at the present time over 500 inmates in | the Chinatown dens, all of whom the treasury officials believe are here as a re- | sult of either the wiliful fraud or careless- {ness on the part of the Custom-house | officials. |, Special Agent Moore absolutely refus to say what the mext move will'be. It is known that for some time past special d tectives have been in his employ investi- ga'ing every detail connected with the landing of Chinese in this Oity. The re- | sult uf this work the treasury officials will not discuss. But the finger is beginning to point in various directions, and it is on the card that there are revelations to come. THE Anaphrodisic Company of Pari France, with United States headquarters at Chicago, is about to incorporate in Ban Francisco with a capital of $100,000. ' Girls’ Training School. Mrs. Mary Burt, of the board of directors of the Deaconess’ Home, 1s at present acting as ¥uan for the Californin Girs’ Training 00l. This arrangement is only a tempo- ry one, however, {or the directors have sent | 1o Los Angeles to secure n permanent matron. TUp to present time the lgdies of the board of directors have been acfing as matron, one ench day. The Gleaners' Club, an organization of work- ing-girls, will give an entertainment to the giris in the California Training Scnool. For ill eftects ef over-eating—BEECHAM'S PILLS. that other Supervisors had harkened to the voices of their fair friends, for only two—Dodge and Britt—voted with the author of the ordinance against indefinite postponement. 8o the ladies may if they choose and their pin money permits wear airy towers of Babel on their bheads while at the local playhouses, Joseph Cuneo made a demand on the hoard for $4000 claimed to be due as da age done his propertv on Taylor street be- tween Bay and Francisco by reason of abroken sewer. The matter was referred to the Judiciary Committee. 2 Application of a contractor to have his bid for certain public work withdrawn re- sulted in a discussion to whether such a proceeding if generally allowed would not be detrimental to the public good. A motion was made and carried that in future no bid be allowed to be withdrawn because contractors might use this means to combine and defeat the very object of getting bids to get the work done at the Towest possible price. A resclution was passed indefinitely postvoning the abandonment of Branch Jail 3 as recomended by the Board of Health. It was\decided to require that all City printing bear the label of the Allied Print- ing Trades, unless the iabel shall disfizure the documents. The matter of dsciding which shall and which shall not bear the label was left to the chairman of the Printing Committee. The National Athlet®®Club was granted a permit for a boxing entertainment at the People’s Palace on April 1. Supervisor Clinton offered a resolution that was adopted instruc!ing the Chief of the Fire Department to furnish a list of the fire hydrants that in his optnion may be dispensed with, In support of his resolution Dr. Clinton said that he had heard that there were a large number of unnecessary hydrants about the City for which the municipality paid §60 per year each, and thatif such was the case they ought to be dispensed with. The resolution passed, The following communication relative to the native California silkworm was re- terred to the Board of Park Commis- ioners: Gentlemen: 1, the undersigned, most re- spectfully coll 'your attention to s matter of great importance, in which, during my study from 1884 until’ now, I have become con- vinced that the matier which I am now laying before you will become of immense value to: only to our City and County, but also to the State, namely, my discovery of the native Cali- fornia silkworm and its food plant, the Cas- cara sagrado, or, as commonly called, the California wild coffee plant.

The Board of Supervisors brought the matter of Temoving the disused streetcar rails from Stockton street between O'ka rell and Ellis streets to a focus yvesterday by the adoption of the foliowing resolu- tion, offered by Supervisor Devany: Resolved, By the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco, that the abandonment of tracks on Stockton street be- tween Ellis and Geary and Geary and Post streets by the Market-street Railway Company be accepted, and that the Superintendent of Streets be directed to remove the rails, the ‘company having failed to do so'as promised in ther letter of abandonment, forthwith. “Previous to the introduction of the reso- lution Mayor Phelan presented the follow- ing commnnication: SAN FrANcIsco, March 22, 1897, To the Homorable Board. of Supervisors of the City and County of ‘San Francisco—GENTLEMEN : 1 herewith iransmit 10 you a communication irom the representatives of the property-own- ers on S.ockton street, beiween Ellis and ©O'Farrei), which is seli-explanatory : These gentlemen were acting with the knowledge and consent of the City in provid- ing for tne pavement ol its accepted street, vi; Stockton street, between Ellis and O’ Ferre and any communication they may have r Gelved Trom the Markel-sirect Rallway Com- pany is of an official character and enti- tled to full credence by this board.

The Superintendent of Streets, when ad- vertising for the paving of the streets, failed, through ignorance of this fact, to make 'the proper prevision for the space occupied by the rails.

ARE WOMEN REALLY WEAK. And If So, Is There Any Excuse for Remaining So? T feel sad evers time I see a woman.” The above remark was made to the writer by one of the oldest and most prominent phyeicians in New York. “Is it possible that you are a woman- hater, doctor 2 *Not-at all, but I have seen so m_nch suffering, so many women who are miser- able, that I cannot help feeling sorry for them all. How many ladies do you know that are perfectly well and healthy? How many enjoy life as they swould? Is this not enough to make one feel sorrowful? *“There must be a cause for all this, doc: “There is. When a woman is weak, she requires strength. Al her functions must be put in a heaithy condition. - Nothing does this 20 easily and surely as pure spirits taken in moderation, either. before meals or between meals. I know scores of ladies that are kept in perfect health and brilliancy by the judicious use of Duify’s Pure Malt Whiskey. Many of these ladies are wives of professional men, and most of them are temner- ance women. They realizz that Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey furnishes the bestand only positive help, and they are intelli- gent enough to profit by such knowledge.
