Under the direction of ce-Consul
King the Six Chinese Companies are mov-
ing in the matter, and have held several
meetings. Ho Shee's flight was caused by
the result of the habeaS-corpuS proceed
lngs In the case Of the Chinese girl, Lai
KUN Ying. who was ordered dep0rt ID
last Saturday by Commissioner Heacock.
very pretty scheme TO sell the girl
into slavery was niDDed in the bud. On
Friday last a number of Chinese called at
the law office of Stearns & Elliott. stating
that young girl named Lai Kun \ ing
had been illegally landed and was in the
possession of Ho Shee, and would be sold
into slavery the neXtday. They represented
that tbe girl was held as a slave, and that
she belonged to the Sam Yup Company.
They were desirous of securing her return
to China. Habeas-eorpus proceedings
were iDsttut ted, the writ being issued by
Judge DainRerfield.
a b Leen. who had been acting as hair
dresser for the girl, directed the Deputy
Sheriff charged with the service OF the
writ to Ho Shee's place on Dupont street.
When the deputy got her on the street she
was surrounded by large crowd of Chi
nese. and 1t required considerable force TO
conduct her to the Chinese Mission at g33
Sacramento street, in charge OF Miss
HOuSeworth.
On the following day Lai Kun Ying.
accompanied by Miss House swOrth and All
Leel, appeared before Judge Daingerfiel Id.
The girl testified that when she arrived here
Commissioner OF Immigration had refused
to let her land; that she was seat by
man in China to Ho Shee; that Ho Shee
Instituted habeas corpus proceedings to
have her landed; that she. under in
structiOns from Hn Shee, swore that Ho
Shee was her mother. that she was born
in California; had been back to China and
was now returning to her mother; that Ho
Shee and five other Chinese swore TO the
same thing; that it was all false; that she
had not been born in California; that Ho
Shee was not her mother; that her parents
were living in China; that she was over Is
years of age and wanted to stay with Miss
Houseworth; that the mission was the
incest place that she had ever been in, and
she was old enough under the laws of our
country to act and do as she pleased.
Much to the surprise of the Chinese who
Daingerield dismissed the writ aud told
the girl 10 go.
Then the Six Companies became inter-
ested. They determined to have the girl
dep0rted, If possible. They feared that
HO Shee would drum uD some charge
against the girl, have her arrested and
then frighten her so that she would be an
easy victim to Ho Shee's wiles. The girl
herself was willing to 90 back to China.
Monday morning last a complaint was
filed against Lai Kun Ying by the Dis
trict Attorney in the United States Dis
iIlCt SOuIt, octltuk 1OEtn tUdt LII NUN
Ying was illegally In this country, and
upon that information the girl was ar
rested by the United States Marshal and
taken into court before Commissioner
HeacOck.
TIE evidence brought out in this inves-
tigatiOn was most sensational. showing
that there was in existence a well-devel-
oped scheme between Ho Shee in San
Francisco and an unknown Chinese in
China by which women were regularly
imported against the laws of the United
States into this country for immoral pur-
poses. Ii was also shown that Lai Kun
Ying had been coached as to the testimony
which she gave upon landing here In
August last, and through threats and
Vaccinations on the part of Ho Shee and
others she had perjured herself in more
than one instance. Commissioner Hea-
cock then made an order for her deporta-
ton on the grounds stated, with a number
Of valuable suggestions as to what course
should be taken in prosecuting persons
carrying on this nefarlous traffic. Acting
upon mis- suggestions the attorneys for the
Sam Yup Company had omplaint sworn
out against Ho Shee, charging her with
aiding aud abetting unlawfully the landing
of Chinese i'm this country, contrary TO the
laws of the United States. A warrant was
also obtained from the Police Court of this
city charging ho Shee with attempting to
kidnap the girl. Both of these warrants
are now in the hands of the proper Off
cals, but none of them have been able to
find Ho Shee. who had been warned by her
friends and fed
