The campaign" Mr. Carew said, and then
he went on to state that it vas on this
memorable occasion that Burns informed
him OF the fact that he knew of teacher
who was so anxious to become principal
that in his opinion, she would not mind
paying $1,000 for the promotion.
1t struck me as strange that Burns
should talk about such thing as buying
favors in the School Department. just as if
1t WAS quite an ordinary matter" Mr.
Carew continued, "but l never gave his re-
marks second thought until DR.. Clinton
spoke OF brides being offered. which re-
minded me of Burns conversation.
THE reason why l refused to give the
mans name until had his own permission
to do so was that l have known him for q
great many years and because l feared 1t
might hurt the connection he had with the
Fire Department.
"But on Monday he himself volunteered
to 90 TO the District Attorneys Office and to
inform Mr.. Barnes that he was the man l
had referred to when questioned by the
Grand jury"
Mr.. Carew emphatically declared that
Burns at no time mentioned the name OF
the particular teacher he knew SO well as
being aware of her ambition to become a
principal, no matter if it cost $1,000.

garded as guardians of Chinese interests
here to a large extent. Probably not half
of the Chinese in America are under the
rule OF the Six Companies of the Gold
Mountains. as the orga nizati0n Is known
among Chinese.
Then, too, our people look upon the
Geary act as special class legislation. They
say: why should we register and pay this
heavy tax when other foreigners are not
required to Go sop 1t is hard for them to
understand the meaning Of the law, and
lew oil them DO so.
"Our people say of the few that have
registered that they are traitors. 1t is only
the chTistianZed Chinese who have regis
tered. There Is a strong prejudice against
the chTistianized class of Chinese here.
Their cOuntrymel all hate them. i am
Christian, but l do not fear the heather
Chinese and am not afraid to give you this
lntor nation nor to give my name with 1t.
They say on the streets of Chinatown,
where there Is n strong ard bitter discus
sion OF the subject going on all the time,
that if the American law makes them 60
back TO China, they will do so without
making any trouble here; but they say that
as soon as they get back to China they Will
form a strong organization independent of
the Government. and drive out all the
American missionaries, as well as the other
American citizens there.
Then they Will bring such arguments
before their home Government as Will in

send warShips to San Francisco and take
the gold mountains by storm. They think
that the Chinese treaty relations with Ger
many and England are such that this can
readily be brought about.
This. Of course, Is mere folly. The
Emperor Of China takes no real interest in
the registration matter other than that he
is willing to protect his subjects wherelforce
is used against them.
The Six Companies are scored by the
Chinese here for not taking more active
steps against the registration law. Some CT
them who subscribed 81 head 30 the six
Companies are going back to the secretary
for their dollar. They say that nothing has
been done with the large amount raised by
the companies for protection of the Chinese
and so they are discontenled and want their
money. 1t was for that reason that the
second circular was recently issued by the
Six Companies telling what great things
they had done for the Chinese in employing
attorneys and corresponding with diplomats
at Washington.

WHY THEY DON'T REGISTER.
What Collector Quinn Says of the
Present Situation-The Emperor
Sends No Word.

Chow Foo is a teacher of English to
Chinese. His place of business is at 1915
Stockton street. What Chow Foo does not
know about the drift Of sentiment IN China
town is OF little consequence. He has made
a special study of matters pertaining TO
Chinese registration under the Geary law,
reads every scrap of print relating thereto
in the San Francisco papers, both English
and Chinese, and is an authority on the sub
iect.
ut Is not true" said Chow Foo yester-
day, shat the Emperor of China has given
orders to his subjects not to register. That
would be absurd
1.-The talk on the streets of Chinatown, of
which hear a good deal every day, does
not include anything of that sort.
"Why don't the Chinese register? l will
tell you the whole truth of the matter.
They are afraid that if they do their names
will be available at all times for the Tax
Collector. They think that registration
amounts to tax, and it is the widespread
belief, based on current reports, that TO
register will cost each Chinese sc or ST..
when, al a matter of fact, it viii only cost

An Enthusiastic Welcome

HER TALK ON "SLUMDOM. I"
A Large Crowd at Metropolitan Hall
Gave Her Rousing Reception
Last Night.

Staff Captain Blanche Cox of the Saliva
ton Army, toward whose coming all the
lads and la sizes have been looking for
some time, arrived last night on the 715
train from Sacramento. She was met at
the ferry by an enthusiastic crowd of army
members, by whom she was escorted to
Metropolitan Hall on Fifth street.
The rainy weather prevented many OF the
army from turning out to meet Captain Cox,
but there was goodly crowd of 800 waiting
patiently in the rain for her arrival. When
the ferry on which she was expected arrived
there was i rousing cheer sent up, that was
as whisper compared to the enthusiasm
that greeted her and her lieutenant, Miss
Lotte Boles. when they appeared.
The army soon had Captain Cox and
Lieutenant Boles in their carriage. and the
procession marched up Market street in the

There was decided air of expectancy in
Judge CARRIERS court at the new City Hall
yesterday afternoon at the time set for the
appearance OF School Director Carew on
citation TO show cause why be should not
be punished for contempt of court in Tefus-
ing to answer certain questions Of the
Grand Jury.
Carew had previously admitted to friend
that he had been approached by man who
offered $1,000 for a promotion to principal
ship. When asked by the Grand Jury to
give the name of the man he refused in
desire TO shield him, and also because he
doubted the presence of corrupt intent.
Hence the contempt proceedings.
The citation had been issued on motion
Of District Attorney Barnes on behalf OF
the Grand Jury. On the calling of the case
yesterday afternoon in Judge CAREERS
court Mr.. Barnes arose and asked that the
Grand Jury might be present as parties to
the matter.
The court signifed its willingness to
recognize the fitness of The request and
bailiff summoned the Grand Jury, and the
members answered the rollcall by the clerk
OF the court.
District Attorney Barnes then asked if
Director Carew were present and that gen.
tleman, whose name has recently been on
every tongue, came forward and al the re-
quest of the District Attorney took the
stand.
Are you represented by counsel. sir P"
asked the court.
Mr.. Carew intimated that his attorney
could not be present
do you wish to be represented by coun-
sel?' continued Judge CARRIER
The famous Director said he did not think
it would be necessary, as his attorney had
advised him TO tell all he knew to the Grand
Jury.
THAT Is q different matter, then" COM
mented the Judge. "Siuce the respondent
expresses willingness to comply with the
demand of the Grand Jury am prepared
to recognize that fact. OF course believe
that contempt has technically been COM
mitted, but taking all the circumstances into
consideration and his Just expressed consent
to answer see no reason why these pro-
ceedings should not be dismissed. Do you
concur, Mr.. District Attorney ?"
District Attorney Barnes evidently
thought il might DE as well to have a string
on the chivalrous Direeto-. for he suggested
that the case be continued in order to give
Mr.. Carew an opportunity to testify.
VERY WELL" said his Honor. I'm &C
cordance with the request of the District
Attorney 1 will continue this matter for
two hours. Ifat4P. NJ. the respondent has
testified, as REQUIRED, L viii dismiss the pro-
ceedings."
The Grand Jury marched to their room
and the courtroom crowd hurried after
them.
Director Carew was among the first wit
nesses called, and upon emerging from the
ordeal of the question, once more appeared
in Judge CAREERS court. where, on the mo-
ton of District Attorney Barnes, he was
