P. Huntington and his associates in the business of landing coolie labor into the United States are trying to undermine Chinese Inspector Gardiner of this city. A reliable authority from Washington states that the charge has been made that Dr. Gardiner willfully misinterprets Chi- nese letters introduced in evidence, and solely for the purpose of preventing the landing of applicants and of besmirching the reputations of Meredith, Huntington and their official and other backers. The plot leaked out in time, however, for the friends of the doctor and for the mission- ary societies to take the necessary steps to counteract this stab in the dark, and they will endeavor to secure the publica- tion of the translations of certain letters found on the person of a Chinese mer- chant returning from the Orient on the steamer China several months ago. These letters were from a Chinese broker to another person, and spoke of the manner in which the ring d succeeded, through the influence of the Pacific Mail, in land- ing a large number of Chinese persons who were not entitled to admission into this countr Names of the persons land- ed were given and the means by which they had been landed were set forth fully. The letters told of bribery having been resorted to successfully and the price of landing a Chin person was stated to be from $40 to $50, the money being patd CO0CO00C00C0000000000000000000C0000C00000000ONO0VVO0I00000 TWAS A SMALL BULLET, BUT IT DID THE WORK RSl i Sudden Suicide of an Unknown Man. e With a small caliber target pistol an unknown man succeeded in killing him- self yesterday about noon. He had en- tered a small shooting-gallery on Dupont street, and under the pretext of taking some shots at the target and was given a 22-caliber pistol and four cartridges. He raised the pistol for his firs shot, and after two or three attempts to aim he turned it quickly toward him- self and fired. The bullet entered his head through the right temple. He fell unconscious to the floor and four hours later he died at the Receiving Hospital. there he asked Southern Pacific to a subordinate official of the Custom- house. - The letters were placed in the hands of Dr. Gardiner for translation, and when the result became known to the persons entitled to know it there was much per- turbation of soul among certain officials. The papers were examined by Spedial Agents Smith and Linck and the originals and the translations were sent to Wash- ington, and are now in possession of the Secretary of the Treasury. The Secretary was asked by a Call correspondent a day or two ago whether such létters making the reflections on the Pacific Mail Com- pany and others were in his possession, and he replled that they were but that their contents could not be made public at_the present time. The plot against Dr. Gardiner is of about the caliber of a primary ward meet; ing. He is accused of being incompetent as an interpreter and translator of Chi- nese, and of misinterpreting letters and other documents while actuated by re- ligious bigotry against that people. Dr. Gardiner's reputation as a Chinese scholar is national. his knowledge of the vernacular_extending to all the dialects represented by the Chinese in Amesica It was supposed that the charge of in- competency or malice was to be backed up by substituting for original Chinese documents falsified coples, containing matter which would prove their charge against the doctor. But this scheme was thwarted by the fact that Dr. Gardiner had enlarged photographic copies of the letters made for his protection, and upon s statement to the Secretary of the ury of his reason for so doing the Secretary ordered the bill paid out of the Government funds. The letters show conclusively that the BOLD CRODKS LOCKED UP IN THE TANKS e Accused of Stealing Valuable Booty. e Through the efforts of Detectives Ryan | and O'Dea, of the Southern station, three ex-convicts are iocked up in the “‘tank; accused of stealing $1500 worth of goods which had been placed in charge of the Compar rly Sun- day evening several boxes of silks and material were turned uver to the railroad company to be shipped to the interfor.

He took a small rifle instead poor attempts at th nervous. After that the man went up the street two doors and into a Swiss saloon, where he said he had come for a match. He was singing a maudlin song, which the people in the place took to be Swedish. Accept- ing an invitation to drink he finished a glass of beer and then went down the street to H. C. Josselyn's shooting gal- lery, where he took three indifferent shots with a pistol. Then he went up to Wolfe's place again and once more asked for a pistol. The girl in charge refused to give him one. He was told to shoot with a rifle or not at all. He accepted the rifle, and tried to turn it as if he wished to look down the barrel. The girl grasped it and pointed the weapon toward the targets, with a word of warning, and after three shots he left.

In falling he dropped the pistol on the counter. The body W th Hospital to identification. PRINTER DYER MISSING, AND MAY BE DROWNED Morgue, there to await INQUIRIES MADE BY ANXIOUS RELATIVES.

The water for two or very much decom- d, the features being unrecognizable. remains were Kept the usual three s for identification and then taken by city undertaker for interment. Mr. Rushmer believes that the deceased Clarence Edmund Dyer, a relative, a - of the San_Francisco branch of pographical Unfon and formerly ot | “chapel.” His description of Mr. r and the clothing he wore tallies al- y. When Dyer left Angels Camp on April 8 he wore canton flannel underwear and three undershirts. He had with him also a sliver-plated spoon with the plating worn off the bottom of the bowl and a two-bladed penknife with bone handle, a piece having been chipped off the handle. The man found drowned had on three undershirts and two pairs of canton flan- ne) drawers, a spoon of the same des scription given above and a two-bladed penknife, but the handle was not chipped. Dyer was about 5 feet 9 inches tall, and the Morgue officlals guessed his height at about 6 feet. It is not customary to measure corpses, and the guess may not have been correct. Dyer was seen in Golden Gate Park about three or four weeks ago by a brother printer, whom he informed that he intended to leave this city the next day. The missing man had been rather ‘“queer” in his actions for ahout a year, and it was belleved among his associates that he was losing his rea- om. s(g‘n\thlng has been heard of Dyer since he was seen in the park. He is unmarried and has a married sister residing at Gilroy. —_—e————— Yesterday’s Insolvent. F.

While the amount of money involved is not large, it means much to the woman who is the plaintiff in the action, and at the same time it serves to expose for the benefit of the public the true character of the late director general of the Ingleside gambling resort. The action in question is a suit in at- tachment filed yesterday in the Justice Court against Corrigan by Mrs. Gertrude Rayfield, proprietres of the Oceanside House, near the Ingleside track. The amount of money sought to be recovered is $89 83 Less than a year ago, as alleged in the complaint, Corrigan went to Mrs. Ray- field and contzacted with her for the use of seven stalls in a barn connected with the Oceanside House. He wanted them, he for the accommodation of sev- s which he did not wish to stable the racetrack. For the use of the stalls he agreed to pay a monthly rental of $5. He was given possession and d the stalls for the purpose stated for a period of seven weeks, incurring an in- debtedness of $40 83.° At the same time he rented from Mrs. Rayfield a kitchen con- nected with the hostelry for the usze of his help. For the rent of this kitchen he agreed to pay $1 per day. He had posses- sfon of the kitchen for forty-nine days, thus incurring an indebtedness of $49. ‘When Mrs., Rayfield sought to collect what was due her from Corrigan he put her off first with one excuse and then with another, though it was represented to hi that his refusal to pay seriously embarrassed the landlady. After spend- ing wea ys and months in an endeavor to collect what was due her Mrs. Rayfield was finally forced to accept the conclu- slon that the master of Hawthorne in- tended to defraud her. In her distress she applied to Attorneys Willlam B. Crocker and Eugene D. Sullivan and they undertook to force payment by means of suit and attachment. The suit was filed vesterday and Cm’rigan will be required to tell under oath why he seeks to. avold of a debt ———— Thieving Lottery Ticket Man.

The Chinese brokers and slave dealers, discomfited by the breaking up of the Pacific Mail Bureau for the afimission of Chinese passengers by Mr. Huntington's line of steamers, have resorted to a new dodge to thwart the efforts of the United States authorities to keen their chattels from landing. In order to avoid the fatal contradiction between the statements of the immigrants on board the steamers to the Chinese Bureau officials and the testi- mony of the brokers’ hatchet men be- fore the bureau, thev now procure writs of habeas corpus for passengers before the bureau has had an opportunity of ex- amining the applicants. The immigrant is then taken before United States Com- missioner Heacock and tells his story. As it is his first story there will be nothing in the way of any previous statement by which he and his witnesses may be con- tradicted, and the Commissioner is often obliged to recommend the court o allow the applicant to land. Commissioner Heacock spoke his mind freely in court yesterday upon this mat- ter. His desire was to call the attention of the courts to the new phase of “TOMMY** KELLY STAYS AWAY FROM COURT, The Police Clerk, Scenvting Trouble, Goes Into Hiding.
