''foater" has been found in the bay. There
Is the alternative that the body may be
hshed up in the iron jaws of the dredger, as
has happened twice during the present
year.
1t is manifest that the existence of these
pitfalls afford peculiar facilities to those
tigers OF the community to whom the taking
OF human life means no more than the theft
OF an apple from an orchard would to the
average school-bOy. There are such men
along the water front, beyond all doubt.
and the clty's negligence is their opportun-
ity. In cases where a robbed stranger has
threatened to inform the police. or where
confederate has sQusaled, or wherever an
obJecti0na BILE person is to be gotten rid Of,
the pitfall route is SO gloriously free from
all risk of detection that the wonder is not
that SO many persons disappear, but that so
few bodies are found.
The electric lights, which are placed at
long and uncertain intervals in this section,
rather increase than avert the perils of the
pitfalls, by reason of the Intensity of the
shadows they cast and the dazzling of the
eye one moment, only to be succeeded by
total obscurity the next. With conditions
SO favorable to crime it is not a wonder that
shady groggeries and ''fence-shops" have
increased and multiplied exceedingly all
along the eastern shore of RincGn Hill.
There is one circumstance which makes
line existence of the city front pitfalls a
special menace to those of the community
who may be forced to traverse this section
al night 1t is just this: A Caroner's in
quest is supposed to be a matter OF terror TO
eyll-doers, because 1t almost certainly dis
closes whether death has been due TO vio-
lence. But when a corpse is tshed out of
the bay il is nearly always SO GIsfigured by
cuts, bruises and p0st-mortem effusions that
II is mere suesS-wOrk to say whether vio-
lence was used or not. Those who under
take TO get rid of victims by ''the under
ground route" are perfectly well aware Of
this fact. The inquest has no tsrrors for
them.
late years occurred on vessels lying in the
vicinity of the Oregon Mail Dock can be
easily traced to the facilities offered by
these holes for escape or for storing away
plumber. The doubling few may easily sat
isfy themselves any morning by strolling
along the city's portion of the water front
on Steuart or Bryant streets Ii will be-
come evident that there are scores of young
hoodlums of all ages from IL to 20 who
frisk in and out of the holes like "a bbits in
a sand dune. They are hardly likely to re-
sort to these spots for play, and doubtless
the constantly reported thefts of small arti-
Giles from shipboard might find explanation
on the suppositlon of place of refuge ON
the way to the fence-shop. The average
junk-shop keeper is not prone 10 ask ques-
tiOns, and the harbor police we'll know that
no professional politician or ward-rounder
can beat the average wharf rat" or city
front boy thief as a faeile, Spontaneous, in
ventive, versatile and habitual liar.

DEADLY PITFALLS.
Scores of Them on the Water
Front South of Market.
One or Two Have Been Filled Up. but the
Worst Still Remain-Facilities offered for
Foul Play, Smuggling and Larceny.

Since the fifth victim recently found his
way into the bay at the piifall on Steuart
street. between Harrison and Brannan. The
ugly looking hole has been filed up and
planked over. As. however, the temporary
sand filling will soon be removed by wave
action. it will not be long before the spot
presents the old perils for the nnwary pill
grim along the water front at night.
There are at least dozen holes within
hfty feet of this particular man-trap which
are unprotected by any railing, unIndicated
ny any lamp, and into any one of which q
1aH means the chance OF drowning or
fractured skull, depending solely OF the state
oil the tide at the time.
Ali along this part of the water 'front.'
from Folsom street to the Pacific Mail Dock,
the action of the waves has cut back the
sandy soil for distance varying from 90 to
100 feet from the wharf line. and tie surface
at low tide is covered with a hard conglon-
crate of iron rust and sand three OF four
inches thick. The iron is derived from
foundry refuse. and the process has been
gong on for many years. The fall at low
TIDE would be a matter of ten or twelve feet,
ana when man drops that distance in the
dark his chances of being stunned or Grip
pied by a broken limb are 50 TO / as against
his chances of escape.
Ii he is stunned he will most probably lie
there unheeded till the rising tide washes
MIN away. A few days afterward he will
adorn slab at the Morgue, and "a briof par
