BENCH WARRANT IS ISSUED JAPANESE PUT UP TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Geffeney Denies That He Accepted Bribes From the Gang Engaged in Importing Young Girls From Japan. Justice of the Peace Kerrigan was mad clear through yesterday when he learned how he had been tricked into releasing the Japanese procurer, Toda, on $200 bonds when charged with a felony. 1.3 immediately took steps to rectify his mis- take, and at his Instance Justice of the Peace Groezinger, who was acting in the place of Police Judge Conlan, raised the bond to $1200 and issued a bench warrant for the rearrest of the slippery slave dealer. * Kerrigan says he was deceived 1n the matter by Attorney D. J. Donavon, who appeared for the Jap and who rep- resented that the charge constituted a simple misdemeanor. The Judge was not aware of the seriousness of the offense untfl Secretary Kane went to him yes- terday and informed him that Toda was charged with a felony. When Bond Ex- pert Newman, after examining the bond, pronounced it worthless, the case was stated to Groezinger and the bench war- rant issued. Donavon attempted to stave off action, but when he found his efforts unavailing he notified his client and the latter appeared at the City Hall in the afternoon and gave new bonds in the larger sum. Yamanaka, the chief of the syndicate of slave dealers, called a meeting of the members of the gang immediately after the raid on Toda’s den, and the malado- rous gang assembled in the basement of CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, his bamboo factory late Thursday night. | The disclosures in regard to the nefarious business as published in The Call evi- dently caused them considerable appre- hension, but just what action was taken to throw the authorities off the track Is not know: Deputy Commissioner of Immigration | Gefteney is very much upset by the alle- gations that he has been accepting bribe from the slave dealers to allow girls des- tined for the vile dens to be landed at this port. He protests that there is no truth in the charges against him, and declares that he 1s the victim of mall- | clous enemies. In regard to the landing of the Japan- ese Kito he said yesterday that Kito had a passport and $40 in money when he ar- rived here and that he allowed him to land, together with his strength of his passport alone. Kito maintains that he had no passport, and that he was not allowed to land until he had given his friend Morakamo $50. Mor- akamo says he paid the money to Gef- feney and took a receipt, which he turned over to Kito. Geffeney {s particularly in- censed at the story told by Mrs. Yamam- ora, the Japanese boarding house keeper, to the effect that she paid him $250 before he would allow her to land when she came to America, seven years ago. The matfer has been reported to the Japanese Consul, who has started an in- vestigation. Officer L. C. Clark, Chief Lees’ personal representative, held a long <onference with Geffeney in the latter’'s office yes- terday, although for what purpose is not definitely known. Possibly "the Chief fears that some of his pets on the force are in danger because of their connection with the siave traffic and sent his agent to consult with Geffeney, who is in the same boat, to concoct some plan to clear their skirts and thus prevent the possi- bility of the department’s réputation from being smirched. It is hardly likely that the old fossil would take the trouble to investigate his subordinates, as he might find out something he does mot care to know or does not want people to think he knows. But if the antl(iuated head of the Police Department will shake off his lethargy long enough to make a few inquiries, properly directed, he may Jearn something. For instance, he might look up one Carey, to whom ha$ been del- egated the task of collecting 75 cents a head each week on all the women owned in this city by the members of the slave- dealers’ syndicate as the price of police protection. As there are forty such women_ living In slavish degradation in the nelghborhood of Erooklyn alley the bribe-taking officers are enjoying a com- fortable ‘‘rake-off” of $120 each. month from this source alone. Unless the Chief prefers to shut his eyes to the glitter of gold and the corrupt practices of his of- he should either demand his “divvy’" or correct the abuse. For some unaccountable reason, Chief Lees appears to take a fatherly interest in the prosperity of the denkeepers and slave owners of the Chinatown district. When Crowley was Chief of the San Francisco Police Department he was al- ways willing to extend aid to the missions in their efforts to rescue the unfortunate Slave girls from the dens where they were confined; but since the advent of the senile decrepit individual who succeeded him it is like pulling teeth to get any as- sistance from the police. Lees will not allow his men to force an entrance into any of these places, no matter what the urgency of the case. He insists that in all cases warrants for the parties wanted must first be secured, but whether his object is to give friendly. warning to the divekeepers the public must judge for it- gelf. Certain it is that whenever a war- rant is sworn out the birds have been spirited away by the time the officers ar- rive upon the scene. TERESA KERR ACQUITTED. LOS ANGELES, Feb, 17.—The jury this afternoon returned a verdict of not guil- ty in the case of Teresa Kerr, charged with the murder of George Eloom King, the Deputy City Engineer, several weeks ago. The verdict was rendered after a deliberation of exactly nine minutes. The defense proved that the shooting of King was accidental, it having been the inten- tion of Miss Kerr to commit suicide. King was shot while attempting to take the re- volver from her. SR e Swallows Carbolic Acid. SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 17.—Ella Townsend, keeper of a questionable resort, swallowed carbolic acid with suicidal intent this aft- ernoon. She poured the poison into a glass, saying, “I'm going home, girls.
