CHINATOWN'S SLUMS.
Inspector Starr Replies to the Mayors
Criticism.
He Declares That Mr.. Comstock i.
Down on Him, and Demands q
Full Investigation.

Sanitary and Building Inspector Starr
was not in very a1niable mood last
evening when met by RECORD UNION
reporter. The latter asked him what he
knew about the sanitary condition of
Chinatown, and whether or not he had
read what the Mayor said about the
quality of his work in that quarter.
well" replied the Inspector, ''I know
all about Chinatown's condition, and I
have read what the Mayor says about
me. This is a matter thGt concerns the
public, and would like % make state
ment about it, that the pnnlic may know
the real facts"
'State your case as briefly as possible -
I'm the first place." said Mr.. Starr,
Mayor Comstock has, from motives that
cannot understand, been down on me
from the day he went into office. He
visited Chinatown yesterday and found
some foul-smelling places, but it does not
appear that he ever visited it before, and
SO is hardly in a position to say that it is
not in better condition to-day than ever
before.
''It is no trifling matter to get those
swarming, filthy, and ilth-Ioving people
to obey all the laws of civilized sanitation
IN one month, or one season. 1t is a
matter that no amount of diligence can
accomplish within, perhaps, a period of
years.
If the Mayor had taken the trouble.
before making public charges against the
sanitary Office, to inquire as to the work
that has been done during the past sum-
mer, he would have seen at once that
more has been done within one wear than
ever was pretended to be ACCOMPLISHED
before. l have the records, localities and
numbers to show this fact. but the Mayor.
Tor some unexplained reason, has failed
to either ask for these facts or inquire
into them.
'As to the Chinese quarter. it has
never been in better condition in its his
tory, as the Mayor would have known
mad he been acquainted with that region
before. The improvements that have
been made under my orders, by direction
OF the Board of Health and Health Officer
Nichols, and those now under way, will
bring that quarter nearer to obedience to
the health ordinances thar it was ever
known to be before
las matter of fact, the Chinese omar
ter is only a small portion of the city. and
the nuisances there are few compared to
those demanding attention in the bal
lance OF the city. There is more work in
my office than the two most yigilant men
IN town could attend to.
But, fortunately, [ have abundant
proof Of the fact that / do attend to nv
duty, and the facts are easily reached.
Now that the Mayor has again shown
his lll-will toward me by making such
charges, / ask that he prefer the charges
to the Board of Trustees, and let the facts
be known. l stand upon my official
record, and have no fear of the result of a
1uII and fair investigation"

WILL NOT HANG.
Haggerty Found Guilty Of Murder in
the Second Degree.
The Jury Recommends Him to the
Mercy of the Court-Obsti-
nate Juror Waite.

The jury in the case of old John Hag-
gerty, charged with the murder of his
son last April. was out all of Thursday
night, not having agreed upon verdict.
There was a large crowd Of spectators
in the courtroom when Judge Van Fleet
took his seat on the bench yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock. 1t was thought
that after their all-night session the jurors
had either agreed or disagreed, and that
they would be brought in Immediately.
But such was not the case.
THAT OBSTINATE JUROR.
From the casting of the first ballot, all
through the weary hours Of the night and
morning, the jury stood-as was stated in
yesterdays RD-UNIoN-eleven for
conviction of murder in the second de-
gree and one for acquittal. The stub
born juror was Mr.. Waite, the gentle
man who, when the jury was brought
into court Thursday evening" wanted
Judge Van Fleet to inform him as to 1.-The
mental capacity of the defendants mind
at the time he committed the act" Even
after he had been informed that this was
the vital point in the case-in fact. the
main point the jury had to decide-he
went back to the jury room and insisted
as to whether Haggerty was sane or in
sane at the time he killed his son.
VERDICT FINALLY.
Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon word was received that the jury had
agreed.
Immediately there was a rush for the
courtroom, and in few moments it was
filled with spectators.
The jurors looked worn and tired as
they filed into the room. They had been
twenty-five hours in session and had had
hard siege of it.
Everybody expected to hear Foreman
Brundage declare that it was impossible
TOR them to agree upon a verdict, but to
the surprise of all he said they had agreed.
What is your verdict, gentlemen 2"
asked Judge Van Fleet.
I'VE, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of murder in the second degree,
and we recommend him to the mercy OF
the court" was the foreman's reply.
HAGGERTY SATISFIED.
All eyes turned toward Haggerty. He
never even batted an eye, and appeared
as calm and unintereSted as he had all
through the trial. When he was being
taken to Jail by the Sheriff, lew mo-
ments after the verdict had been rendered,
he remarked that the decree ''suited him
first rate,' and that he expected much
worse.
1t appears that Juror Waite agreed to
vote with the other eleven, provided the
recommendation for mercy was incorpo-
rated.
He was heard to remark shortly after
he had left the building, that he never
would have agreed if he didn't have to
get his butcher cart OUT
