attempt 10 enforce some of the most i'm

worst slums in America Who arc 10

rent their property to the Chinese, but they
are also willing to spend their money erect

iron to enable their tenants to violate the
laws and eyade punishment Undoubtedly
San Francisco ought b enforce against the

escape. The trials were long and tedious,

of the lower Court and the Circuit Court,
and also affirming the Judgment of the
Common Pleas, and fixing the day of exc
cuton for July 31st. The Governor has
