Following is the report: ASS:! BLY CHAMBER, SACRAM TO, February 21, 1901. Mr. Speaker: Your select committee of five, | appointed pursuant to a resolution offered by sk and adopted by the Assembly on 1901, directing that sald commit- Mr. January 31, tee, immediately and fully, thoroughly and carefully, investigate certain charges affect- ing the Police Department of San Francisco and the administration of the State's laws in the Chinese quarter of sald city, report as follows: That said committee commenced sald investi- gation on February 4 at the city and county of San Francisco and continued the same from day to day until and including the 13th day of Februa: Sixty-five witnesses were exam- ined, a etenographlc report of whose testi- mony accompanies this report, and from the | evidence adduced and proteedings had and taken, your committee finds: - & That James D. Phelan, as Mayor of San Francisco, and William P. Sullivan Jr., as Chief of Police of San Francisco, did, in December, 1900, make up their minds to bring about & policy whereby violations of the State’s laws against gamblin, nand prostitation should bfi tole: by the police, in San Fran Chinatown, and should be m source of municipal revenue—a source estimated to yield $97,000 per annum. A That James D. Phelan, as Mayor of San Francisco, did, late in De- cember, 1000, call a meeting of thy Police Commissioners, the Judges of the Police Courts, the Dixtrict Attor- ney, the Chief of Police and two captains of police (Wittman and Spillane), all of San Francisco, and did at said meecting advocate the aforesaid policy: and that at said meeting the Police Commissioners, the Chief of Police, nnd the captains of police failed to take a stand againxt the centemplated com- pounding with lawbreakers. . That after said meeting the Chief of Police enused to be printed legal blanks designed to be used in exe- cuting the xaid aulawful policy, he- ginning with the opening of the year 1901, V.. That subsequently, In December, 1300, the Examiner of San Francisco publicly directed attention to section 337 of the Penal Code of California, which said section made the pro- posed compounding felonious. v. That thereupon, by reason of said section of the Penal Code and not because of the volun- tary abandonment of sald unlawful polley, the said James D. Phelan and the sald Willlam P. Sullivan Jr. ceased to progfed with their con- templated compounding. VI That thereupon said Chief of Police deter- mined to withdraw from said Chinatown the special detail of six patrolmen and a sergeant, known as “‘the Chinatown squad,” which squad had for years been regarded as essential In enforcing the State’s laws ageinst gambling and prostitution in said quarter; and that on the ist of January, 1901, he did withdraw said squad, giving as.his reason that he wished to give the regular police a chance in order to {ry the exveriment. _ That on the day sald squad was withdrawn, and long prior {hereto, thére were 1in said er spoke against | druggists, refu; he moj At 1t falls 15! g L s w*m'x.v; cersure, and asserted that there ghould | E. W. Grove's signature is on Chinatown about sixty fantan resorts, wherein law was babitually violated, miost beg leave to | forbidden gambling to upper floors (as shown by the sworn testimony of patrolmen on duty in this quart. thus showing a direct dispo- sition to tolerafe infraction of the law, pro- vided the infractions were committed at 8 glven altitude. VIIL That said James D. Phelan, as Mayor of San Francisco, speaking under onith, acknowledged that .the State's laws against gambling and | prostitution are habitually and ex- tensively violated In said Chin towrn: and that similar admission had been made to your committee by sald Chief of Police and by the ptain of Police in whose district sald quarter les. 1. |, That the sald admissions are in line with the great mass of evidence produced before | your committee independently of safd Police Department, which said évidence establishes conclusively that the State's laws against lot- tery-playing, fantan and similar games and prostitution are and for a long time have been violated on a wholesale scale in said China- town. x That said James D. Phelan, speak- ing under onth, estimated to your committee that to enforep said laws in Chinatown would require the presence there of 180 policemen; that xaid William P. Sullivan Jr., mpeaking under oath, estimated to your committee that said enforce-’ ment would reguire the presence in sald Chinatown of 300 to 400 police- men: and that Willinm J. Biggy, ex-Chief of Police of sakl city, like- wise speaking under oath, esti- mated to your committee that said cnforcement could be obtained with thirty policemen if ‘enrnestly di- rected, Mr. Biggy stating that he | based this estimnte on his expe- | rience in Chinatown duaring his in- cumbency. ped That white men and white boys visit bawdy houses in gald Chinatown. XIL That white men and white boys frequent Chinese lottery dens in said Chinatown. - X111, That the visits of white men and white boys to sald Chinese brothels and gambling resorts are and have been €0 open 28 to leave the said Police Department fo reasonable excuse for its professed want of knowledge in that re- gard, XV That Chinese women and Chinese girls (meré infants, frequently) are bought and sold ns chattels in said Chinatown, in violation of a vital principle of our national life—a condi- tion of affairs that is a disgrace to the great State of California. xv. That the said Police Department has been 80 apathetic in putting down the horrible sys- tem of slavery existing in sald Chinatown as to justify your committee in believing it crim. inally neglizent; and that the testimony of €aid Chief of Police shows that durinz his regime sald department has not in a single case taken the Initfative in enforcing the laws against such infamy. 3 XVI That said Chief of Police acknowledged, un- der oath, to your committee that he had neves read the Penal Code it Is his duty to enforc and while your committee disavows a disposi- tion to reflect on his reputation for honesty it feels constrained to say that he betrayed, While testifying, a want of knowledge of the laws of this State affecting said Chinatown and a lack of alertness in the matter of deal- ing with breaches of those laws that is inex- cusable. XVIL That for years there has been a 2 CAPTAIN WITTMAN AS HE APPEARED INTHE ASSEMBLY SWEAT Box general impression, in and out of police circles of said city, that Chi- nese lawbreakers have corruptly purchased a measure of immunity from enforcement in said China- town of the State's laws against gambling, opium dens and prosti- ution. XVIIL That during the administration of Patrick Crowley as Chief of Police of sald city (the source of this finding being the sworn testi- mony of sald Crowley before this committee) sald Crowley was offered a bribe bf $6000 by the keepers of brothels in sald Chinatown for & stated sort of police protection against the State's anti-brothel laws, and that said.Crow- ley promptly brought the matter to the at- tertion OF the Police Commission of sald eity. XIX, That during the administration of sald ‘William ‘P. Sullivan Jr. as Chief of Police of sald city the Chinese agent of one of the principal Chinese gamblers of sald Chinatown sent to San Jose for the Santa Clara business representative of said James D. Phelan; that sald business representative thereupon visited Sun Francisco and conferred with said Chinese agent; that said Chinese agent, during sald conference, offered said business representative of sald Phelan a bribe of $200 per month and cfiered to pay a large sum every month to a person to be subsequently agreed upon, the stated purpose of both bribes to be a degree of immunity from polics ids of gambling re- gorts In said Chinatow that sald business representative of said Phelan forthwith brought the felonjous proposal to the attention of said | Fhelan; that said Phelan was informed of the name of the bribe ofterer and the charac- ter of the proposal, but the testimony of said Fhelan does not disclose that he endeavored to bring the oftender or his principal to jus- tice, XX That within the last two months keepers of Chinese gambling resorts in said Chinatown have said to white .men that police interference with prohibited gambling was not feared, intimations being thrown out that an understanding existed between the police and the law- breakers whereby lawbreaking would be tolerated by the police. XXL That while no direct evidence is before your committee showing the passage of bribe money to the sald Police Department evidence was adduced pointing to the collection of a China- fown " corruption fund, and until there shall te a strong and decisive effort to enforce the laws of California in said Chinatown your committee must feel that there are con- vincing grounds for believing that money does pass, though the evidence is not suffictently clear to justify your committee in attempting to say to whom. . XXIL That there has been no attempt whatever on the part of said Police Department to enforce the provis- ionx of section 30 of the Penal Code, which make it a misdemeanor for any person to keep any minor of either sex in any house of ill repute, and also that there has bee an absolute disregard of and no at- tempt whatever by the Police De- partment to enforce the provisions of section 316 of the Penal Code, which make it a misdemeanor for any person or persons to let any aptrtment or tenement knowingz. that it is to be used for degrading purposes. It is also found that there has been an utter disregard of and no attempt whatever to- en- ferce the provisions of section 32 of the Fenal Ccde, which make it a misdemeanor for any person to let or permit any buflding or vessel, or any portion thereof, knowing that it is to b sed for lottery purpcses. and also that said Folice Department has willfully failed to en- fcree the provisions of section 331 of the Penal Code, which make it a misdemeanor to know- ingly permit any of the games mentioned in section 330 of sald code to be plaved, con- dncted or dealt in any house owned or rented ty the accused in whole or In part. XX, That, In view of all the evidénce adduced, ycur committee believes and,concludes that the task of suppressing the slave traffle in this State will be made less difficult If those changes be made in the laws which are pro- posed in the bills now before the Legisiature snd known as Assembly bill No. 768 and As- sembly bill No. 769. Therefore your commit- tee strongly recommends the passage of said bills. But it is the belief and conclusion of your committee that the laws of this State are ade- cuate in the matter of the suppression f lot- teries and gambling in sald Chinatown: and in thiz regard attention is invited to the code provisions hereinbefore referred to and also to the circumstance that the laws of Califor- nin contain other valuable provisions which, with . vigorous effort on the part of sald Po- lee Department and the District Attorhey of would quickly free the commoniwealth of the conditions. in said China- town now .diegracing . it. Those other provis- jons may be summarized as follows 1. It is well 'settled at law that brotheis and gambling-houses . (especially gambling- Peuges in which games prohibited by law are played) are public nuisances. 2. Under the act of February 7, 1874 (Stat. 1874, p. 84, houses of {ll fame are declared to te public nuisances and common repute is niade competent evidence of the character of the houses. 3. Under the act “‘authorizing and_directing gistrict attorneys to bring suits to abate pub. 1i¢ nuisances (Stat. 1839, p. 103); the District Attorney of San_Francisco may, and when directed by- the Board of Supervisors must, DLring elvil actions in the name of the people Cf the State to abate public nuisances. 4. Chinese corporations affecting to ba so- cial clubs, but really carrying on gambling recorts, may be bereft of their charters and e dissolved by reason of their course in aid of illegal practices, the procedure in that re- gard being by suit prosecuted by the Attorney General 'in the name of the people. (See Pro- rle vs, Dashaway Association, 84 Cal., 117, ard chapter V of the Code of Civil Procedure, aud _especially section 03 thereof.) Wherefore, your committes recommends: That the Mayor. the Police Commission and the Chief of Police of said city and county of San_Francisco . proceed forthwith to enforce the laws of the State of California in said Chinatown. That _the District city and county of immediate action. to bring enforcement of the laws of Callfornia effecting _ existing Chinatown abuses, both by compelling action on the part of sald Police Department and by instituting proceedings on Tis own behalf. And that should the sail Police Department or said District Attorney, or either of them. neglect to perform their duty in_the premises a Grand Jury of said city -and county proceed against the derelict public officer or officers, with a view of hav- itg them removed from office. In conclusion, your committee desires to ex- press its thaks to the press of San Francisco for valuable assistance given in ferreting out the truth tauching conditions obtaining in said Chinatown, and te express its appreciation of the courtesy .of the Board ofSupervisors of sald city and county of San Francisco and of said San Franejse Attorney of said San clsco take about the| LOCAL POLICE OFFICIALS ARE CHARGED WITH INACTIVITY- Special Dispat CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA MENTO, Feb. 21.—The Republican Sena- tors eaucused this evening, and after an the Senate chamber and announced that absolutely nothing of the proceedings would be divulged.

[ @i b e QURRELENDS I FATAL SHOOTING James H. Tucker Killed by Bob McFarland at = Merced. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. MERCED, Feb. — Bob McFarland, who has been known for years to be a desperate charactcr, to-night shot and in- stantly killed James H. Tucker, keeper of & notorious house in the Tenderloin dis- trict. The trouble had been brewing for some time, as the murderer had been con- sorting with the dead man’s former wife. | Tucker “was a short time ago divorced from his wife. Since the divorce there has been trouble about the settlement of the property. : To-day their differences had a hearing in court, and this evening they met in one of the rooms of the Alameda House, where they renewed their former quarrel, Tucker striking the woman and throwing her into the street. Just about this time MeFarland made his appearance, and both men began firing at each other. Several shots were exchanged. Tucker was hit twice. One bullet lodged in the temple, causing instant death. Immediately atter the aftair McFariand started for town and surrendered to the police. L Tucker when a young man killed a hunter with whom he was working be- cause he abused him. McFarland's career has been an event- ful one. About fifteen years ago while visiting the Tenderloin with a friend he encountered a number of Portuguese, and n the fight he and his companion wounded three and killed one. He was lodged in jail, and escaped from it by dig- sing his way out, but was recaptured. | fie afterward went to the southern part of the State and shot another man, Clear- ing himself from that, he went to Mexico, wheare he killed another man and was sen- ter . nanged, but was afterward repr After d. Ekllling Tucker he surrendered and was placed in the County Jail. When seen to-night he claimed that the murdered | man was lying in wait to kill him and | that after seeing the pistol in_his hand | he drew his revolver and fired five times. The only marks he has of the affair are | powder marks on the wrist, showing that the battle must have been at short range. | RAIDERS HARASS KOREANS. 1 Hermit Kingdom Appeals to Russia | for Protection.
