C0NLAN is FIRM.
He Is Looking Up Evidence to Support

His Charges.
The excitement and uneasiness in police
circles over Judge Conlan's charges keep
on increasing and yesterday around the
old City Hall Ii was like the calm that pre-
cedes storm.
There was less open talk and prevail
ing feeling Of suspicion and distrust. It is
known that Judge Conlan has many warm
sympathizers even i'll the police force in
his attack upon Sergeant Whitman. and
the sergeants particular friends are not
little worried in consequence.
In gathering his evidence against Ser
geant Whitman Judge Conlan is learning
more than he ever imagined as to bribery
and corruption in police circles.
Evidence is being voluntarily laid before
him OF assessments being levied upon
keepers and inmates Of dlsreputable
houses, Chinese lottery men, gamblers aud
keepers Of opium joints.

getically to pile up evidence in support of

FOUR NEW TAN GAMES.
This Brings Ross Alleys Total Up tc
Twenty


Four new fan-tan games were opened in
Chinatown yesterday-two on Ross alley
and two on Washington alley. Ross alley
up to yesterday had eighteen games run
ming. Now it has twenty. In each gam
iug-place there are one 10 three tables,
and there are generally three head game
sters at each table, while the number of
Chinese that throng the room varies &C
cording to the hour.
The games open in the morning between
8 and 8 o'clock, and remain open until
A. NJ. next day.
The new games are run by men OF the
Sum Zip and Yung Wan companies. and
Big Jim is the leading man in their bust
ness.
The existence Of these games is well
known to the police, and they have been
closed at times. The question arises, Why
are they not kept closed?
Sergeant Price of the Chinatown squad
was seen by reporter of The CALL last
night. He promptly admitted that Chinese
lottery drawings and tan games were be-
ing carried on and that lie had list of
places, but the difficulty was to get evil
dence against the men.
"Since came on duty on May l." said
the sergeant, Il have made about forty
raids, but the Chinese have been too quick

on the lookout and it does not take more

allow them to carry on nefarious practices
unmolested. The charges then were the
same in character as those made at this
time by Judge Conl Ian of the Police Court.
Chinese gambling was carried on less
secretly than it is at this time There were
no two-inch iron-faced doors to break
down and the officers had no trouble to
make raids If they wanted to. Sometimes
they did make raids, and there were peo-
pie who were uncharitabe enough to de-
clare that these were made because the
keepers of the dens refused 10 "See the
officer on the beat"
A Chinese named Ho Sue. a good
natured, fat fellow, who was interested in
certain gambling-honses and who spent a
great deal OF his time fixing cases for his
countrymen in the Police Court, was at one
period of time the victim of police venge-
ance. The games in which he was inter-
ested were constantly raided, while others
as notorious as his were not molested. An
lnQuisitive reporter of that time met Ho
sue and asked him how it was that the
police always raided his games and did not
disturb others.
Ho Sue rubbed his hands and smiled,
but did not say anything.
Being pressed for an answer, he drew
two twenty-d0llar pieces from some inside
pocket Of his blouse. One Of these lie took
between his left thumb and forefnger
and held it up against his left eye, saying
as he did SO. "Pleeceman no can see
much" Then with his right thumb and
forefinger held the other twenty against
his right eye. adding, "Pleeceman no can
see at ALL"
Having thus delivered himself he re-
placed his money in his pocket and
walked away without another word Of ex-
PLANTATION.
a gentleman who heard the story yes
terday for the first time remarked that, in
view Of the scandal of the day, the system
described by HO Sue seems 10 be still in
force, but the big silver dollars have taken
the places of twenties. "lor, said he,
prices you know have come down since
the days of the Chinese spoken Of"

and turning to the policeman said, will
you have a smoker"
mo, thanks; don't smoke" was the
reply as the officer walked away.
The Chinese behind the door admitted
the reporter, who found that in the whole
room there was only the four boxes of
cigars in the show-windOw.
What you want?" said the Chinaman
who opened the door.
Il wanted TO play lottery. but Pm afraid
of that policeman. II l buy ticket he
will catch me and I'll go to jail"
There was no visible evidence of the
place being lottery joint, but friend had
told the reporter that he could buy tickets
there if he wanted to gamble. The fear of
the policeman was emphasized, inasmuch
as the officer was right beside the door
when the reporter entered.

keeps the place, and who waited on the
reporter, mo need be flaid Of officer. fix

toward the vanishing policeman.
From the front room, absolutely bare so
far as merchandise was concerned except
the four boxes OF cigars in the show
window, the reporter was taken into a
back room. where a full layout OF lottery
tickets and all the paraphernalia of
Chinese lottery was In plain view on
table. Kwong Lung took his seat on one
side Of the table, and motioned hereporter
to stool opposite him.
How muchee you play. eh?" asked
Kwong.
"Well, I wanted to play SIS. but m

"But l don't understand" said the re-

And then Kwong Lung did little trick
that proved he was we'll up in the sign
slang of the day, He put finger on the
lower lid of his right eye and drew it
down, as much as to say. "DO you see any
green in that eye?" A 10-cent twc-way
ticket was purchased, and after the re-
porter had it safely slowed away in his
hat, per advice OF Kwong, he said TO the
lOttery-dealer, "Pve got whole lot of
friends VINO would like to play lottery, but
they are afraid. They don't want to be
arrested"
