Pekin, China, now at the Palmer house.
tells of an experience he had in San
Francisco recently. He was invited by
a friend to attend "a sale of some choice
Japs." ."and thinking Japanese bric-a-brac
was meant, readily accepted. Arriving
at the place he found several we'll
known citizens in the parlor. A raised
platform stood at one end of the room.
Suddenly" said Mr.. Sfoeum, ''the folding
doors in the apartment were thrown open,
and through them came about twenty young
Japanese girls. The girls were auctioned off
at prices varying from $500 to 500 a piece.
The girls had been enticed from Japan by
unscrupulous wretches, with promises of
easy and remunerative employment. Such
sales occur evey month or two, but nothing
is done TO prevent them"
