DIVES MUST Go.
Ordinance to Be Enforced
at Once.
The Police Commissioners Come Il
a Speedy What the
Divekeepers Propose.
The dives must 60.

The dives must 60.
So say the Police commissioners, and
the moral sense of the community will be
giatfed at their action.
They met last night twenty minutes
earlier than usual. and tdid not take them
more than ten minutes TO decide upon the
strict enforcement of the dive ordinance
in view of the judgment rendered by Judge
Murphy last Friday.
The diyekee pers will be notified at once
of this decision, which will take effect
within twenty-fOur hours.
Just as the meeting adjourned George a.
Knight. who has been retained by the
divekeepers in conjunction with Carroll
Cook. made his appearance, and he WAS
promptly followed by Attorney Joseph
Dunno. Mr.. Knights intention was TO
ask the Commissioners to take no ac-
ton upon Judge Murphy's Judgment
preme Court was known, but he was just
a minute 100 late.
The papers for the appeal are ready and
will be put III motion at once. Ii is posi-
bic that some action will be taken in til e
courts this morning TO counterfeit the de-
cisi0n Of the Commissioners so as to allow
the dives TO remain open until the Supreme
Court is heard from.
Chief Crowley was seen after the meet
ing, and he said that the concession
granted to Ned Foster of the Bella Union
Theater was distinctly to terminate when
judgment was rendered by the Superior
Court. There was not the slightest under
standing about an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
I'VE will" continued the Chief, ''see
that the ordinance is enforced; but in my
opinion it is quite imperative, and some
thing more definite and comprehensive
Will nave to be passed before we can carry
out what is really wanted by tie anti-diye
people.
II am satisfied the diyekeepers will find
ways and means of evadng he provisions
Of the ordinance. For instance. We know
that although no women have been en-
ployed openly in a certain place, women
are there every night who haunt the
boxes and use their wiles TO get men 70
order drinks. The women do not GER
tainly serve the drinks, but they drink
with the men and they no doubt have an
understanding with the proprietor.
The only way 10 prOperl regulate the
| business is by introducing the high-licens Sc
system"
Ned Foster Of the Bella Union, who is
practically the only one having the con-
cession to sell liquor, said last night that
he would obey the law pending the ap-
peal TO the Supreme Court and " ould not
make any attempt to evade it. The dive
men, he SAID. were naturally surprised at
the action of the Commissioners in being
so hasty ana not giving their attorneys an
opportunity to be heard. Carroll Cook is
out Of town, but Attorney Knight would
make some motion in the courts this
morning with the view of permitting him
to go on selling liquor pending the appeal.

All CUES LIBERTY.
Must He Register Under
Both Laws ?
Argued That the State Could Not
Legislate Upon Matters Be-
longing to Congress.

The cases of All Cue and George LIpp-
man on habeas corpus were argued yester-
day before the Supreme Court sitting in
bank.
All Cue is one of five Chinese who
were arrested few days ago under law
passed by the State Legislature of 1891,
and similar to the Geary act, requiring
all Chinese to register with the Commits
sioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
before taking up their residence in the
State, and to obtain a certificate similar to
that required by the Federal authorities.
Under this law Chinese must reg
lister and his picture must be taken, and no
agent of any railroad or steamship COM
pany may sell him ticket unless this GER
tiicate is shown to him. It was under this
condition that Lippman. who is an agent OF
the Southern Pacific Company, was ar
rested, he being charged with having sold
Ah Cue ticket in direct violation of this
condition.
The main point at issue was. Had the
State any right TO legislate upon the same
subject as CongressW Attorneys T. D.
Riordan and Harvey Brown argued on be-
half of the defendants to show that the act
WAS unc0n stitutional. Rordan claimed
that under the Chinese treaty discrimina-
ton was made between the various classes
OF Chinese, and that merchants, actors and
persons travelling for pleasure were ex-
emrted from the provisions Of any res trio
tion act that might be passed. The act in
question, therefore, was stitutional,
being In conflict with this treaty in ONLY
exempting Consuls and Ministers, Vari-
Gus authorities were quoted by counsel in
support Of this contention.
Deputy Attorney General Sanders re-
piled on behalf of the people. He said
that the legislation in this case Was not
special, out general. The power to deport
the Chinese had been affirmed by the Su-
preme Court OF the United States in the
celebrated decision rendered a few months
ago, ond there was 10 provision OF the
constitution prohibiting an act of this
nature. and failing such a provision the
power referred 10 stood as before
As to the decisions quoted by counsel for
All Cue Sanders maintained that these
were rendered before the making of the
Swift treaty, the passage OF the Geary act
and the rendering of the decision of the
United States Supreme Court The Geary
act abrogated those portions of the Chi
nese treaty which conferred on the Chi
nese the privileges and immunities of
American citizens.
Justice Paterson asked whether if All
Cue had registered under the Geary act he
would have had valid defense to this
charge. Sanders thought not, as in order
TO remain in the State All Cue must regis
ter under both laws, State and Federal,
George w. Fox, representing the Dis
trict Attorney of san Francisco, argued
that the act of 1891 was passed IN pursu-
ance of the police power OF the State. and
was not Intended to regulate commerce.
Acknowledgement Hart closed the argu-
