s THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL MONDAY DECEMBER 6 897. 1S THE 0D OWNRON WIDE OPEN? i Grand Jurymen, After an Inspection, Answer in the Affirmative. VICE OPENLY FLAUNTED OF NIGHTS | Gates Will Be Recommended for Quincy and St. Mary Streets at the Next Meeting, STRICT POLICE EEGULATIONS NEEDED Official Visitors to the Tenderloin Ex- press Opinions as to How to Abate the Evil. Is the town run wide cpen? The question bLas been asked many times and many different answers have been made, those who believed in hav- ing the throttle valve pulled to its widest extent answering the negative and the ative and respectable ele- g with ereat vehemence that the old n is being run entirely too wide open. Chief Lees and Police Com- ; missioner Gunst ave also aired their views on the subject and their positions in regard to the question ara well under- stood by the public, as THE CALL has from time to time published their opinions. It remained for the Grand Jury, how- ever, to settle the question, for they bave | stated in , after a night’s in of the tenderloin, that t very wide open. A history ot the visit o the Grand Jury men to Quincy street and Bacon place was published exclusively in yesterday’s CaLL. The deductions which | they have made will be given in their | next report. Some of the Grand Jury men who made the rounds of inspeciion last Saturday night were seen yesterday and expressed themselves fully in rezard to the matter. Foreman Hiram H. Hobbs stated that the strects complained of were found to be a ed solely by women of the half world, who, shut off from the gaza of the passe would be as little of an | evil where tney were as they would ba if to “Iam in in fro me other part of the city. avor of having gates put up of those streets to shut off the view of them from the traveling public. That part of the city is but little fre- nted, and were it not for the fact that burch is in such close proximity the hat the women were loczlized there 1ld not be as great a cause lor com- rlaint as it would :f they were scattered | out the city. The other Grand Jurors most to a man arein favor of putting up gates if it can be found that there is by law that will ction such a thing as closing up a public thoroughfare. I it would be all rightif no one complain about the closing of the streets, as there is litile traffic there, and a- the streets are aevoted entirely to those women the property-owners there would net complain, i “One of the jurors suggested thiat the women be removed to Pacific street, from K oy east, but in my mind they would be more of an evil there than whera they are at present. I bel:eve the Grand Jury, in its repor: recommend that gates be put up in froat of ihose streets. In their present condition those places are run pretty wide open, for the windows are allowed to remain up and crowds con- ate a d toem to look at the in- To simmer the wholething down, that the city is run rather wide ma Ithin open. “I don’t think that it will better matters any to drive those women out of these streets,”” continued Mr Hobbs. *It will only scaiter them over the town and ke matters worse. They would take to walking the streets and the police could not have any sapervision over them atall. The conseq ce would be that there would be a gzreat many more robberies committed by those women. “Tuere are few people robbed in the houses where the women remain for any ne, for they are afraid of detection. The lice know them, and if any one is robued they can locate the offender and arrest her. I! you scatter those women the same condition will obtain which now exist< in London, where the evil is not localized. The women are so notorious and bod that a man can scarcely walk out on the streets after 8 o’clock at night with his wife without running the risk of having herinsulted. “I believe that the police should regu- late them and not allow them to keep their windows open. If that isdone and the gates are put up I don’t believe that there wiil be any cause of complaint. It is pretty hard to rezulate that evil. We recommend that gates be put up in front of those streets and that the police be a little more strict with the women there.”” Luke Battles was another o! the jurors who weni ou a tour of inspection. He stated that there was no doubt about the town being run wide open. A visit to Quincy street had convinced him that bet- ier volice regulations were needed. “I cannot blame the police too se- verely,” said Mr. Battles, “for I believe ihat there is some one over them of whom they are afraid who is responsible in a | great measure for the condition of things there. No officer who has a wife and bavies depending on him is going to ex- ercise diligence in suppressing an evil wien he knows that by doing so he may be cutting tLis head off. “That part of Bacon pates are up, bidin the w of the pas-ers-by, seems to me to be all right <o far as the passing public is concerned, for they see nothing of the women down that street. But on Quincy street and_St. Mary’s place a different state of affairs vrevail Those women are allowed to flaunt themselvesand their shame in the faces of the people who may be passing. ““That abuse ehould be corrected. An- other thing which I think tne police chould stop—that is the vi its of young lads of 17 and 18 years who crowd around the open windows to get a peep at the women who are rather scantily clothed. The volice should send those boys away. If the houses were Kept closed there wou.d not be such crowds congregated in front of them. “Iam 1n 1avor of having gates put upin front of the streets complained of, 80 as to shut off the view. That seems 10 be the general view of the gentlemen who visited the quarter the other eveninz. We shail recommend as much in our report, if the | place where the the residents from | and he related several instances in voint. legal objections 1o the closing of the sireets can be removed. However, we will ewait the settlement of the case which will come up Monday under the ordi: nance recently passed by the Supervisors. The general sentiment is that the gates should be put up, and we will recommend them.” MIXED MARRIAGES. Rabbi Meyers Says the Jews Should Oppose Them. Rabbi Meyers spoke to a large gather- ing in the church of the Congregaticn Ohabai Shalome last night on the subject of “Mixed Marriages.” After referring to the early Jewish times as an illustration of the greatness of the Jews and to show the reason why none of that fai h should be a:hamed of the religion of their fath- ers, he said that there was a tendency among the present generation of Jews to lose sight of that greatness and to forsake their religion. “The Jews should oppose mixed mar- riages for the reason that we are a small band and they would in time eradicate us. When Solomon married Pharaoh’s daugn- ter an old tradition says that the Angel Gubriel came out of heaven ana vlaced two reeds on wnat was afterward the site of Rome. That was to signify ihat the power of the Jews was to be broken.” The speaker then said that mixed mar- riages led to misery and unhappiness, T e Jews did not love their Genuile broth- ers and sisters less, but they loved their religion and God more. There was no reason why any young Jew should seek for a mate outside of his owa people, for the young Jewesses of to-day were the equal of any by inheritance. The speaker concluded by saying that the parents were to blame for mixed mar- riages, for they did not teach their chil- dren to have the proper reverence for their religion.

He wasaccom- panied by his secretary only. The two will leave for Washington this afternoon. Minister Hosh: svent the afternoon in company with Irving M, Scott and drove out to the park and to the Union Iron | Works, where the Japanese cruiser Cuitose | 1s being built. Later in the evening the gentlemen dined with Saburo Koyo, the Japanese Consul, at the consulate at 1514 | Pine street. Minister Hoshi was at first rather loth to talk about the circumstances of his leaving Washington and of his mission hers, but later thawed out a litue and granted a CALL reporter an interview, in | which he denied the reports which were current at the time of his departiure. ‘%0 far as there being any strained re- lations betwsen Secretary Sherman and elf, or any of the officiais at Washing- ton,” said Mr. Hoshi, *“the reports are untrue. The most amicable feelings exist | between us. The report that I was re- called was also untrue, for I went to Japan on a leave of absence, and also to get instructions regarding my action dur- | ing the winter. z “Japan does not want the Hawaiian Is- lands annexed,” continued Mr. Hosbi, *“notwithstanding the telegrams purport- ing to come from there. If the United States annexes the islands Japan will in- sist that certain rights which she has in the 1slands must be 1espected. We nave claims against Hawaii which must be re- spected by the United Btates if she an- nexes them. We have a treaty with Ha- waii respecting the importing of laborers and of the producis necessary for their maintenance. Hawaii violated that treaty by deporting some of the laborers, and al-o again violated it when the Ha- waiian Government imposed a special tax on imporiations which we sent to the islanis. *Japan will insist that her claims against the Islands shall be respected. 1 have my instructions as to what course to pursue in the event that the Islands are annexed, but of course I will refrain from disclosing them.” Mr. Hoshi further etated that he could have secured very influential positions in bis owy country, as he is a lawyer and a politician, but he preferred a diplomatic position, and that is the reason he had cepted a Staie position. In closing toe interview he staled emphatically that he did not leave Washington in a huff, but went because questions of great moment 0 his Government were expected to arise in case the United States annexed tha Islands, and ne wished to get some definite instruc ion ———————— STABBED IN THE BACK.

P | war or WAGING WAR AGAINST VICE Father Otis Puts Not His Faith in Police Officials. Supervisor Rottanzi Wazes In- dignant and Will De- clare Himself, He Says Ho Is on the Ohristianity, Morality Other Good Things. Side of and Father Otis is training his heavy ord- nance on the vicious districts that con- front old St. Mary’s. *1 count no battle won until the last gun is fired,” he said vesterday, and in spite of the protesta- tions of those in high places .he reverend representative of the Paulists is seeing to itthat the battle is carried on in earnest. Supervisor Rottanzi is bubbling and boiling over with indignation. Rottanzi is the man who has proved the most for- midable obstacle to the culmination of the desires of the people of St. Mary’s parish. Rottanzi favored delay when Father Ois urged action, and the meth- ods advocated by the Paulist met with the criticism of the doctor. A morning paper yesterday stated that Dr. Rottanzi’s ob- jectin couriing delay was to protect a friend who owned proverty in the district. And at this the doctor’s ire arose. will make my statement in the Board of Supervisors to-morrow morning,” he -aid in, an interview yesterday afternoon. ‘I will speak from the standpoint of Chris- tianity; I will speak from the standpoint of morality; I will speak from a sanitary standpoint. I favor localization, restric- tion and inspection of the evil. I always favored that. Months beiore this matter came up [ spoke to Thief Lees about placing eates at the ends of these slieys, The statement that I wished to protect a friend who was a property-owner is in mous and itisuntrue. I don’t know a sinrle man who owns property in that immediate vicinity, I will have my say to-morrow—or perhaps I will write a let- ter.” George D. Shadburne, legal adviser to Fatber Otis in the present agitation, and himself much interested in the abolition of the pest spots, says that Supervisor Rottanzi’s position is an enigma to him “Dr. Rottanzi has the reputation of being an upright Clristian gentleman,” he said, “and 1 cannot understand why he would favor this open flaunting of vice. I ex- plained 10 him the evil effects of the pres- ent conaition apd the legal anomaly of attempting to restrict such an offense to decenzy. I thought from his actions he was convinced, but at the first oppor- tunity be attempted to cause delay. The plan advocated by Rottanzi would be a tub to the great medica. whale of which he is a part.”” Mr. Snhadburne said it was not the | owners, but the sub-lessees, whom the ade vocates of decency would have to fight. The presence of vice, he contended, so depreciated real estate values that it was obviously to the interest of the property- owners to have it eradicated. He cited as an instance a house on Pine street, below Quincy, which cost $10,000 a few vear: ago and could now be purchased for $6000. At one time the building reated for $75; now between long intervals of vacancy the place rents for $45. “The enormous rents reported to be ob- talned from these places,” he saia, “‘are all the gain of the sub-les ‘The owner gets little if any more than he could get for the place for purposes of decency, while his property is deteriorated in value and his improvements are de- stroyed.” Mr. Shadburne expresses the opinion that when the ordinance declered by Judge Campoell to be unconstitutional comes up in the Superior Court this week | 1t witl undoubtedly be upheld. Should he be disappointed in this, however, the arrests recently made under the State law will be relied upon. “We intend to win this fight if it takes forty years,”’ he declared. Tather Otis is equally determined in his efforts to clear the moral atmosphere that surrounds St. Mary’s. Thereverend tather bas little faith in the police, though be admits, with a smile, that Cnief Lees is apparently with him now. “Three years ago next month I commenced an aciive th se immoral places,” said Father Otis. “Then we were endeavoring to have Dupont street closed. In that nght we received no aid from the police until after we had appealed to the Commissioners. Then they did partially remedy the evil. “This is a more important matter that we now bave on hand and it 1s attracting more attention from the public and from the press than did our agi ation for the suppression of Dupont-street evils. 1 be- lieve we will be successful, but we will keep ou fighting hard until success 1s as- sured.’” From the reception-room of the Paulist parish house both thoroughfares of vice are in unobstructed view. JStreams of loafers poured in and out of the narrow alleyways. The tenderloin was wide open. “Bahl” said a well-known attorney whose office is on Montgomery street, when spoken to yesterday by a CALL rep- resentative. ‘It is nauseating to dwell on this sub- ject. There was no necessity for an ordi- nance from the Suvervisors. The State law is ample to cover the ground. ““This thing of the police flitiing about in citizens clothes getiing names of the unforiunate inmates is all play to the ‘pu-h.’ 1 recollect when Dupont street was cleansed of a similar evil. There were no arrests. Again, when Morton street underwent u similar procass, there were mno arrests. Once more, a few months ago when the Caristian ladies in Chinatown discovered young white girls consorting with Chinamen, the dens were closed in six hours and without one single arrest. Still later, since Father Otis drew public attention to Quincy and St. Mary streets an order was issued out of the California-street police station to have the dens closed. “It just took thirty minutes to have every shade drawn and light extin- guished. But an appeal to the Central statlon at (he City Hall had this order countermanded, and in less time than it ook to close the places they were thrown open. I cite these facts to prove that if the Police Department was in earnest every door in these alleys would be closea in one hour, “This thing of playing with the law and making Judge Campbell the buffoon, or clown, is all for effect. “Every woman occupyinz a house in these streets knows that she must cease her vocation just as soon as she learns that the law will be invoked against her. And so it 1s with the lessces. They all know they are outside of the pale of pro- tection in court. “The whole trouble is that there is too much money and polities in this affair. This npisance that Father Otis justly complains of could have been abated without its having been made public if ihe authorities saw it as respeciable citi- zens see it. “‘Court proceedings and law’'s delay cost money, and in the mean time ihe €vil is permitied to grow and the owners of property are in receipt of their rents, “‘Wio ever heard of a man or a body of men being permiited to erect an iron gate across a pub ¢ street to conceal shame ?”” MENTALLY UNBALANCED. Mrs. F. Gordon, an Accomplished Englishwoman Taken to the Receiving Hospital. Mrs. F. Go'don, an accomplished Eng- lishwoman, was taken to the Recelving Hospital yesterday afternoon by Officer McMurray of the California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. She was employed as a servant at 4111 Twentieth sireet and not being accus- tomed to hard work and being without friends or funds she woriied over her po- sition so much that her mind became affected and the family got afraid of . er. They notified Officer McMurray, who lives in the neighborhood, and he took her to the hospital, where she will be kept fora guy or two, till something can be done for er. She is a native of London, Eng., and lost her husband about ten years ago. She suffered from nervous prostration and ber physician ordered her a long sea voy- age in the hove of recovery. She weat to Mexico, remained there for some time and sbout three months ago came here. Being without funds she advertised for a situation and got employment with the Elliott family.

President Swain’s annual report re- viewed the work done during the vear, showing the prosperous condition of the association and lauding the various committees that assisted him. Robert M. Welch, chairman of the track-racing commitiee, presented a vol- uminous written report, which was list- ened to with marked attention. It stated in brief that the association was now in control of all cycle racing on the Pacific Coast and affiliated with Briish Colum- bia, the Southern Cyclists’ Association and the Australian Association. Continuing the report said: We are now confronted with the question, What will be our position should the L. A. W. nt the concession, the refus:i of which was toe cause of our withdrawal from the league? | But if all for which we have been contending | | is granted us it will be difficult to justify to | toe ereiing world at large our continued op- position to what i the eyeling In this country. Ifmutters so shap: ihemselves that we re- tire from the control of cycie racing on the Pacific Cost it must be as’ a victorious army, with every man fully restored 1o his privi® leges as a cyclist. While there have been more race meets this year than ever beiore Mr. Welch does not consider t at it can be termed a suc- cessful year, as the meets have not been profitable as a rale. The report severely criticized the Santa Rosa Cycling Park As-ociation for its con- duct of meets on August 21 and Septem- ber 9. Amateurs were debauchad by the gIving of cash prizas, and other merchan- dise prizes were not up to the stated value. C. J. Birdsall and A. Theisen, Caiifornia Club, and Percy Mott, Reliance, were transerred to the professional class. Thirty-three men were professionalized during the year, twenty-eight of them by request. Eighty-one sanctions for track racing were issued. The reading of Mr. Welch’s report was received with applause. The road-racing committee recom- mended that the annual reiay race be per- petuated, and also showed that the con- duct of the annual ten, twenty and twenty-five had been successfully con- ducted. Some changes were recom- mended in the relay rules. The commit- tee disbursed nearly $700 during the year for prizes and expenses. Other reports from the good roads, memoership,touring,rights and privileges and similar committees were received. The theater party committee reported a profit of $165 50, and the Tivoli manage- ment was tendered a vote of thanks for vourtesies received in that connection, The secretary’s report was very gratify- ing to the delegates. The association has an individual membership of 1030, and twenty clubs aggregating in membership 3000. Over one-half of the individual members—554—are unattached. The sec- retary disbursed nearly $1300, and the treasurer still has a balance on hand. The presidnet then called for nomina- tions for officers for the ensuing year. Dr. Hill nominated Robert M. Welch, but that genileman modestly pleaded in- efficiency for so impor.ant an office and gracefully declined. C. Michener nomi- nated the present president, A. P. Swain, who also declined. Henry . Wynne presented the name of Vincent A. Doid of Alameds, and Percy V. Long nominated Charles Albert Adams of San Francisco, both nominators mak- ing long, impessioned speeches, and the fight narrowed down to these two candi- dates. F.fty-three votes were cast. Mr. Adams recelving thirty-oneand Mr. Dodd twenty-iwo, and Mr. A 'ams wus tuere- upon declared elected wvresident. Mr. Dodd was then unanimonsiy elected first vice-president. G. G. Taylor of Mountain View was elecied second vice-president; Stanley G. Scovern, the incumbent, was chosen sec- retary, and Jules F. Hancock, also an in- :_nmb.n', treasurer, all witnout opposi- ion. The retiring president, Mr. Swain, was terdered a_complimentary vote in recog- nition of his services during the past year. The proposition to reinstate Charies A. Kraft to the amateur ranks was thor- oughly discussed, and Mr. Kraft's peti- tion was granted by a vote of 17 to 5. The Encival Cyclers invited the board to meet at 1ts rooms for its January meet- ing, which was accepted. J. Birdsall and A. Theisen of the Cali- fornia Club, who also applied for reinstate- ment into the amateur ranks, had their request denied because their petition was not properly presented - .

Thirteen Very Happy Sailors on the Bark Alexander MeNeill. A Voyage From Newcastle of Ninety- Two Days—Launching of the America—Boy Overboard. The master and szilors of the schooner Kate and Anna, which was stated in a telegram from Pacitic Grove to have acted so mysteriouslv off Point Sur in the way of flashing lights at night and darting bither and thither without any definite object in view, deny that there was any- thing of a secret nature going on at all. In their opinion the news originated with ‘‘some farmer.” The schooner is owned by Carl Lutgen, and on tais trip Antonio Anderson acted as master. At present she is anchored off Meiges wharf. She started from Sausa- lito about two months ago on a voyage for sea-otter skins, and managed to get two of them in the region of Point Sur. They are worth aboct $300 apiece. in the region of San Mguel Isiand three seals were lassoed and sold to a man at Mon- terey, who traizs them ana disposes of them to passing showmen.

S. W., with a cargo of 1532 tous of coal for J. J. Moore & Co. S:xty days are an ordinary passage, and Captain Jorgenson gives as a reason for his exceptionally lonz voyage that light winds were encountered for the whole trip. It required sixty-one days io reach the equetor. Only two sbins were sighted on the whole voyage. Both were viewed in the distance on the second day. When the bark arrived here her hull was covered with a thick devosit of siime. A strange thing in connection with the voyage is that the complement of sailors was just thirteen. That point was over- looked by the cantan until too late to amend it, and all on board were in agony on the whole pas age for fear of some dread calamity. Whnen the vessel reached here safe there were just thirieen super- stitions sailors heaving big sighs of relief at their ‘‘wonderful escape.” The beautiful naphtha launch America, belonging 1o Kitterman, the Stockton- street furniture-dealer, and costing $7000, wa- launcbed from Poweli-street wharf at 8 p.
