THE MEEK FAMILY SHIPPED OUT
OF TOWN.
The Cause of Number of Petty Larceny
Cases Supposed to Be Members of
This Family-Some Episodes in Their
Career.

Officers Hinsley and Dugan yesterday
arrested the Meek family, which has
achieved considerable notoriety in this
vicinity. William Meek, with his wife
and his two boys, aged respectively IL
and 8 yeara, came here couple OF
months ago, and were evidently in most
INDECENT circumstances. The pocket of
the humane Angeleho was opened as
soon as the story of the suffering family
was published, and the quartette were
given the means OF proceeding on their
journey northward. Strangely enough,
however, they did not get very far, but,
after spending the money they had
begged at hotels in neighboring towns,
they suddenly reappeared here. A
number of petit larceny thefts were all
but traced to them, and they finally took
warning and went to Pasadena.
In that beautiful suburb Of Los An
geles they got themselves into trouble.
The theite for which the Meeks
attracted attention were always commit
ted by the two little boys, who seem to
have undergone q highly systematic
course of training in the line of sneak
thieving. The loss of several valuable
rings, pins, purses and parcels was
found in Pasadena to be due to that
training, and eventually the two little
boys were arrested. they were tried
and convicted, and let off with a small
fine on account of their youth. The fine
was paid.

Officer Hinsley was the first to recognize
| Officer Dugan in looking after the
family. The policemen found that they
had come in on the Terminal railroad,
and had left two large and heavy trunks
in the baggage room. Yesterday the
officers came to the conclusion that they
had better find out the contents of the
the four members of the family, and
took their prisoners, luggage and all to
the police station. A search was then
made for stolen goods in the chests, and
several articles were found, which look.
ed as if they might have been acquired
dishonesty. The difficulty of securing
the evidence to convict, and the prom
ises of the Meeks to leave town for evel
if released. prevailed upon the police
authorities to allow the family to 60
if only to get rid OF them. Their trunks
were taken to the Arcade depot in the
patrol wagon, and the four unwelcomt
guests were placed on the O'Clock
train. They are going to Ventura.

ONLY A TRICK.
The Confession of Deeming Not Credited
by the London Police.

The Confession of Deeming Not Credited
by the London Police.
LONDON, March 26.-The papers pub
lish Deeming's confession TO the Rain
hill and Whitechapel murders today.
The story has caused the moet intense
excitement. There is much difficulty
in fixing the two Whitechapel murders
to which Deeming is said to have con-
fessed. Altogether ten murders are
attributed to Jack the Ripper" but
there is much doubt as to whether the
last two were committed 0y the same
hand that committed the other eight.
The police OF the Leman-street station
do not place much belief in the confess
sion that Deeming comnitteed the two
last crimes. They admit, however, that
if his confession refers to the murder of
Alice Mackenzie, which occurred in
1889, and Mary Kelly, committed in
1888, it is possible that Deeming is
telling the truth.
The police give ae reason for saying
Deeming is not the murderer OF Frances
Cole the fact that, at the time she was
killed, Deeming was serving nine
months sentence at Hull for jewelry
theft.
The Scotland Yard authorities have
received no private information from
Melbourne regarding the confession,
and attach little importance to Deem
ing's statements that he killed two OF
the Whitechapel women. They say
they believe Deeming's objecI in max
ing the confession is to secure remand
and be brought to England. This is {,
well-known trick of criminals.

THE CROPS.
The Report of the Weather Bureau
Mr.. Freeman's Opinion.

The Report of the Weather Bureau
Mr.. Freeman's Opinion.
Mr.. Dan Freeman, who has an i'm
mense acreage in grain on his Centinela
ranch, stated yesterday to a HERALD
reporter that the late sown grain he had
noticed was suffering for want OF rain,
and the early sown was in need of more
moisture.
The weather bureaus report, fur
nished by Observer Franklin, is as fol-
lows:
Hueneme, s. l.. Mack-The rain of
Saturday and Sunday was beneficial to
crops, but more is needed.
Bardsdale, j. R. McKee-Light rain
fell on the 10Th, which was beneficial to
growing grain. The weather is slightly
cloudy, with some indications of rain,
more OF which is needed.
$500 feet. j z Ward-The weather dur
ing the past week has been showery and
clustering and grain in sections was
slightly injured by high winds on the
22d and 23d. Several light frosts oc-
Cured which did little damage to
fruit.
Los Angeles city, George E. Franklin
The weather during the past week was
cooler than the seasonal average ;the tenn
pecature ranged from degree to de-
grees daily below the normals, except on
the Oath, when it was degree in excess.
The highest during the week was rs
degrees, lowest 43 degrees. Light rain
fell on the 19ih and Goth, which helped
vegetation considerably, but more is
needed to mature crops.
Duarte. W. w. Bliss.-The late sown
grain needs rain; everything else is
locking well. Light rain fell on Satur-
day and Sunday. Highest temperature

Associated Press Dispatches.
MELBOURNE, March 26.-The Argus
announces that Deeming hes confessed
to the murder of his wife and four chill
dren at Dinham villa, Rainhill, near
Liverpool, and that he has also con-
fessed to the murder and mutilation Of
the last two women whose bodies were
found in the purlieus OF Whitechapel.
Deemirg's appearance closely tallies
with the description given of the White
chapel fend, "Jack the Ripper" and,
although he does not admit killing the
other Whitechapel victims, it is be-
lieved that when he finds all hope OF es-
cape from tbe clutches OF the law cut
off, he will confess not only these muir
ders, but others OF which the police know
nothing.
1t transpires that the unfortunate
woman who was found, together with
the four children, under the floor of the
Rainhill residence, was not Deeming's
first wife. Some years ago q sensation
was created in Australia by the mysteri-
Gus disappearance OF the wife and two
children OF man who then went by the
name of Williams, but who turns out
to be Deeming. The family then re.
sided in Sydney. There was grave sus-
picion of foul play at the time, but the
bodies were not found and essential
proof of the murder being lacking, the
matter was allowed to drop. Deeming
subsequently went to England and mar
ried the woman whose murderer he
now confesses himself to be.
The Argus says Deeming makes no
mention OF his object in mutilating the
bodies of his Whitechapel victims, but
adds that there is scarcely doubt that
the man is afflicted with disease SINH
lar in some respects to nymphomania.

FREE COINAGE OUTLOOK,
THE BLAND BILL SEEMS TO BE
DOOMED.
1t Is Said to Be Dying, But Dying Very
Hard-Its Advocates Will Make Des-
perate Effort to Secure Vote Monday
or Tuesday-Doubtful Result.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Representa-
tive Catchings will reach the city Mon
day, and when he returns rule to bring
the silver bill to vote will be adopted
by the rules committee, and will make
its appearance in the house on Monday.
The anti-silver men are making a strong
fight to defeat the rule and are hopeful
of success. From present indications
the chances are against them. They
have the support OF some Democrats
who would not vote directly against the
free coinage bill, but, on the other hand,
there are a considerable number OF Re-
publicans who will probably vote for
the rule, or will not vote at ell-whlch
would have the same effect-in order to
force square test vote on the question
of free coinage. These men will vote
against the free coinage bill when it
comes up on its merits, but are against
side-tracking the bill.
Reed, Dingley and others are in favor
OF voting against the silver bill in all its
parliamentary stages from now on.
Burrows, Henderson OF Iowa, Hopkins
of Illinois, and other western Repvbli-
cans, with some eastern men, will not
agree to this programme.
When the question comes up oR the
passage of the Bland bill, however,
there is no doubt as to how the Repub'
licans will stand, and there will then be
an alliance between the anti-siver
Democrats and all except nine of the
Repu blicans. Funston of Kansas, and
Taylor of Ohio, who heretofore voted
with the free coinage men, will vote
against the bill on its merits
The anti silver Democrats assert that
they can win the fight on it's merits, but
by narrow majority. The free cottage
men have abated to a remarkable
degree their confidence in their ability
to pass free coinage measure through
the house, and are endeavoring to have
all their men present when the vote is
taken. A number OF free coinage men
are doubtful of the result, and expect
defeat by from one to five votes. Warner
OF New York expressed today the belief
that the bill could not pass the house.
1t was dying, but dying very hard, he
added.
Speaker Crisp said this afternoon that
he did not think rule relative to the
silver bill could be brought into the
house and called up Monday, but that
it would probably come up Tuesday.

TWO YEARS BEHIND BARS,
A Young Chinese Girl Who Is I'm
prisoned at Auburn.

The Placer County Republican re-
Gently published the following:
The fact is not perhaps generally
known to our citizens that q young
Chinese girl has been kept in bondage
in cellar in Chinatown for trifie oyer
two years. The only point through
which she can see the light of day is one
small cellar window with iron shutters
supplemented on the inside with strong
iron bars. These shutters are often
open and her beached face may be seen
by the passer-by almost any day. The
girl is a sister OF the boy All Wing, who
attends our public school, and her name
is All Fung.
When girl reaches the age of IA
| years it is the Chinese custom to place
her in secure quarters and hold her in
bondage until she is sold for marriage.
In this way it is impossible for girl to
escape or be stolen. The mother Of All
Fung has had two offers to sell her One
was a rich Chinaman from Sacramento,
but her objection to this match was that
the Chinaman was not healthy. The
second offer came from Chinese mer-
chant at Los Angeles, but the objection
to this almond-eyed Mongolian was that
he was not goodlooking, and 80 the girl
remained behind the bars.
The only reason for her incarceration
| is that she is marriageable Chinese
girl and a virgin. While it may not
be advisable to interfere with their bar
barous customs, we must say that did
such condition of affairs exist with the
people of any other nation who make
their homes among US, they would not
be tolerated for moment.
Those who are curious may see the
girls face almost any day as they pass
through the alley by Kee Chin's build
ing. Her face is as devoid of color as is
pose ble for one of her nationality. Her
brother, All Wing, is bright Chinese
lad and has attended our public school
for number of years, but his sister has
not stepped into the open air for over
two years. How long she must remain
behind iron bars in that damp cellar is
matter of coniacture
