They were charged with vagrancy. Armed with search warrants Naylor and Meredith took their sledge hammers and broke in the doors of all the so-called merchants’ clubs on Ross alley. Spies stationed on the outside give the “Ki yi” as soon as the police entered the street and a general scramble of the fantal players hunting the numerous get-aw: followed. By the time the four or five the different clubs had been broken down all the evidence had been concealed and the visitors to the places had made their escape. At the Chinese Mutual Protective and Benevolent Asso- ciation, $19% Washington street, the po- lice, after breaking in three doors, reached the gambling room just in time to see the corpulent manager throw the t bit of evidence down the sewer.

LIES TOLD WITH IMPUNITY BUREAU NOT AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS. Strange Reluctance of Chief Mere- dith to Comply With the Sug- gestion of Commissioner Heacock. The following paragraph in the report of Secretary of ®he Treasury Gage, re- cently published, has occasioned much surprise in Federal circles in this city: It is believed that many Chinese laborers have gained unlawful admission b- represent- ing themselves to have been born in the United States. In such cases they present them- Ives to the customs officers at the frontier and seek arrest. On being taken before the United States Commissioner for deportation proceed- ings they are frequently discharged on their own testimony and that of their alleged fath- ers. In many cases such testimony is believed to have been untrue, and in a number of in- stances the applicants or the alleged fathers, or both, have been successfully prosecuted for perjury. The surprising part of the paragraph is the assertion that in many cases the perjurers have been successfully prose- cuted. This statement is not applicable to California. There is only one such case on record in the Federal courts of this city, and that occured eight years ago. In that instance, “Doc” C. C. Higgins, a white man, testified before the United States Commissioner that the applicant, a Chinaman, was born in this State. He and his accomplice, a white man named Heynemann, were_tried for perjury and were acquitted. No prosecution, either of white or Chinese, has been had since then, although the atmosphere of the courtroom and its very walls are reeking with perjury. During the present year many Chinese | applicants for admission to this country have appeared before Commissioner Hea- cock and have flatly contradicted the statements they had made previously to the Chinese_bureau and the Collector of the Port. No prosecution would have availed in these cases, because the state- ments made by the applicants to the bu- reau had not been signed by them. Com- missioner Heacock, alarmed at the fre- quency with which perjury was being committed in his court, urged Chief Mere- dith of the Chinese bureau more than a ar ago to have all the statements made v the witnesses before the bureau signed by the witnesses; but in spite of his re- peated requests this was not done until recently, and only after the Commissioner had complained of the action of the chief of the bureau and after the mem- bers of the press had discovered the loop- hole through which so many Chinese la- borers and slave girls had succeeded in obtaining admission to this State to com- pete with white labor and to flll the prisons. It is a fact of peculiar significance that the records siow that all of the numerous so-called mistakes made by Chief Mere- dith have been invariably against the Government and in favor of the Chinese slave-dealers. Of course, it is well un- derstood that the statements taken be- fore the bureau are not given under oath, and that perl]ury in the legal sense can- not be committed; but the object of Com- missioner Heacock in persistently de- manding that the statements be signed by the persons rnu.klnF them was to make the statements official and to discover dis- crepancies between the sworn testimony before the bureau and the sworn _testi- mony before the Commissioner, so that he could be the better able to judge of the truthfulness of the witnesses. Before the request of the Commissioner in this re- gard had been acceded to the Commission- er was obliged to rule out the transcript of the statements made before the bu- reau as not being competent testimony because of the absence of the signatures, False testimony on a material int made before the Commissioner is punished as perjury, but a_statement made to the ColP:ctor of the Port or to the Chinese bureau is not, because neither ne Collect- or nor the officers of the bureau have an AUL M.

Polk-Street Merchants Favor a Com- bination Pavement Which Will Not Soften. The bitumen pavement as laid on Mar- ket street has not found unqualified favor with the merchants of Polk street, and at a meeting of the Polk Street Progres- sive Club an improvement upon it was suggested. It has been observed that while the bi- tumen Is much better than the old basalt blocks it is deficient In many ways. On a hot day, for Instance, the surface of the pavement becomes soft and each heavy dray makes a row of deep ruts. Atten- tion was called to_the pavement in front of W. Bradbury’s residence, which is much cheaper and appar- ently far more durable. It is made of the ordinary basalt blocks, set a few inches below the street grade. The inter- stices are filled with gravel and the whole is covered with a coating of bitumen. The members of the club consider this far_superior to the bitumenand concrete, and recommend that Polk street, from Sutter to Jackson, should be paved in this way. The club will keep the pave- ment in repair for a term of years in case it is adopted. It is also recommended that the gas lamps designating fire boxes on certain corners be done away with and that the upper half of the arc light globes be stained red to serve the same purpose. This will save the city the expense of a number of useless gas lamps. WALLER FURNISHES FIGURES OF HIS OWN THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT MADE PUBLIC.

Jerusalem Was Not a Walled City, ‘but a Spiritual Abode, Is the Idea of the Reform. Jew. Last night was begun by the people of the Jewish faith the celebration of the Chanuka, or the feast of-the lights, the anniversary of the rededication of the temple by the heroic Judas Maccabeus after a successful revolution against An- tiochus, King of Syria. 2 In commemoration of the victory an eight-day feast or celebration was insti- tuted, in which candles are lighted, recall- ing the relighting of the fires on the altars of Jehovah. This partial returning of Palestine to the Jewish faith is being compared to the present Zionistic idea, or the re-establishment of the Jewish nation in its anclent home. This plan of colo- nization and nationality finds no favor among reform Jews, on the ground of its utter impracticability and as not being in accordance with divine will. In his sermon at Temple Emanu-El, Dr. Voorsanger Mast evening eloquently —o0D- posed this scheme for the return of the Jews to Jerusalem. “It was,” he said, “a visionary idea of the sending thither a company of poor Jews by a few rich Jews, who had no time nor inclination to go themselves. The heroism of Macca- beus, the Washington of Palestine, and the rehabilitation of the Holy Land as -the victorious result of that struggle, could in no wise be imitated by this new idea, and to-night is the time to speak against the plan proposéd that will over- e the old ideals, against the scheme that would tend to set the progress of Israel backward. ‘On to Zion' 1is apt to create more mischief in the world than anything that has ever come before the Jew or Gentile.” Dr. M. S. Levy of Temple Beth-Israel said that around this festival is clustered some of the most daring deeds of the Maccabees. ‘“‘Connecting with the feast of lights are some of the prettiest ideals which a people ever possessed. If Cha- nuka, coming as it does in the month of December, and frequently avbout the 25th thereof, was observed by the Jewish peo- ple instead of Christmas it would be the means of creating a greater national feeling among our people. 1t would be a bond of mutual friendliness and would inspire us to deeds of heroism in the name of and for the glory of lsrael. It would bring to the minds of your children the memory of the all-inspiring epoch of their own religion and their hearts could be turned from Santa Claus and be made to grasp the poetry of a real Maccabean. Dr. Jacob Nieto of Congregation Sher- ith Israel said: This is Chanuka, the time of the rededication of the temple and the reconsecration of Israel to the holy mission of proclaiming the unity of God and announcing perfection of man, the world's greatest ideal. “As we recall the heroic exploits of the Maccabees a thrill of pride courses through our frames as imagination im- pelled by sentiment opens to our mental gaze a view of numberless fields of glory. The Syrian power was broken and Israel left at rest in the principles of yore and took again the oath of fealty to God’s sovereign_power. But this was changed and the Jew was made to wander forth over the world, a long pilgrimage with the burden of iniquities he had not com- mitted added to those he had; despised and scorned while the world worshiped at the shrine of his creation. They de- tested him but loved his ideals. But his song was still of Zion and® his hope was of her restoration * * * “Now we come to Zionism. In its new form it is neither poetical nor practical. It is only a phantasy—a dream of the over-sanguine soul. * * * One of the means to be adopted to bring about this end, this return of the Jew to the old home of his race, is the establishment of a bank for the assistance of the future Palestine farmer. Banks cannot be made solvent uniess they can loan on an inter- est-yielding industry, and there are no industries in Palestine worth mentioning, and no colonists can progress under con- ditions that are utterly visionary. ““And there is the religious part of the guestion. If the so-called orthodox Jew is right the reconstruction of the temple would necessitate the reintroduction of the old sacrificial rites which he prays for daily, and a return to barbarism would be the inevitable resuit. Jerusalem will never be in the possession of the Jew, neither will the introduction of the blood rites of his forefathefs be possible or A Race Against Fire. After a ten-days’ fight to avoid death the crew of a steamer from Spain recently arrived in Baltimore. In midocean it was discovered that flames were raging in the vessel's hold. For ten long days the crew bravely fought the flames. 1f men would fight as persistently against disorders of the stomach and diges- tive organs, there would be fewer premature deaths. The best weapon for such a fight is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It is the greatest of tonics, and the best of remedies fcr kidney, liver, bladder and,blood disorders. probable. What we Jews have suffered for, labored for, must not vanish thus be- fore a selfish anticipation of material ag- andizement. Our Jerusalem is in our earts. What reek we of the sterile hill- tops, where rival Christian sects shed each others’ blood? “Qur Jerusalem is a city at peace with itself, a temple of God, in which all peu- ples shall erect their altars to him. This is the prophet’s ideal, wrested from ideal- ism to become the realization of the dreams of the world."” Rabbl Isidor Myer of Congregation Ohabal Shalome, Bush street, near La- guna, in his sermon this morning at 10:15 o’clock will speak in favor of Zionism as against the ground taken by his brother reform rabbis. TOTS IN FANCY DANCE. Interestin, Entertainment at the Charity Bazaar—Good Things Coming. The management of the Charity Bazaar at Mechanics' Pavilion promises several “‘warm numbers” for to-night’s pro- gramme. The bazaar is in good run- ning order and by next Monday night the booths will all be erected, and the management has secured some novelties for the stage calculated to take the town by storm. Last nieht the graduates from Miss Clarke’s dancing school were the chief attractions. Fourteen children, ranging from a miss in her ‘teens” to two little people hardly out of long dresses, kept an appreciative -:dience interested for an hour. Mme. Sanderini, the dramatic prima_donna, made her first appearance since her recent illness and showed that her voice had lost none of that power and sweetness which made her a Euro- pean favorite a dozen years ago. To-day the troupe of plantation dar- kies, direct from ‘“Ole Virginny.” will make its first appearance in this city, and will be heard every afternoon and evening during the run of the bazaar. A letter was received yesterday afternoon from G eral Merram promising the presence of any troops under his command for the bazaar at any time the management may want them.

The Artist Was Kindly Received in the City of Mexico and by the Various Indian Tribes. Amedee Joullin, the artist, arrived in the city early yesterday morning and was welcomed home by his fellow-painters. Mr. Joullin left here eight months ago to study the habits, customs and legends of certain tribes of Indians in Mexico, Arizona and New Mexico. He was dill- gent in the pursuit of the much-coveted information and accepted with pleasure the hospitalities of the Zunii, the Nava- jos and the Cliff Dwellers. The freedom of the reservations and a large extent of contiguous territory extended to the artist by the aborigines, and his oppor- tunities to sketch undisturbed were as devoid_of limit as a Palace Hotel poker game. Mr. Joullin will remain in San Fran- cisco for several weeks perhaps, but his sketches will not be unfolded to the gaze of the public until he is established in & New York studio. In Albuquerque, N. Mex., the artist was kindly received and entertained by the Commercial Club. At the “Enchant- ed Mesa” he found opportunity for re- flection. In the City of Mexico, where an art school, attended by a+thousand schol- ars, receives the support of the Govern- ment Mr. Joullin loitered for two or three months. He found many European painters and several American artists in the city of the Montezumas. In polite circles of Old Mexico the fashion of employing a capital A in art is respected and Mr. Joullin was offered many inducements to establish a perma- nent residence in the ancient capital. The desire, however, to return to San Fran- cisco_in time for the Christmas jinks of the Bohemian Club could not be re- pressed, hence he journeyed hither by rail and saluted the owl on his arrival in town. —_———————— Divorce Suits Tiled.
