JAPANESE SLAVES

The law that forbids the i'm portation of
women for immoral purposes is set at
naught by the japanese slave-im porters
who have headquarters in this city and
Toxic. 1t is the same ring of law-breakers
that is filling the State with cheap labor
ers, in spite of the earnest efforts of Com
missioner of Immigration S'radley. Sew
eral months ago Mr.. S,radley wrote to the
Secretary of the Treasury to the effect
that he was powerless 10 prevent the land
Ing of the japanese in violation of law, as
the immigrants were gathered together by
labor bureaus in their native land and
sent to the United States we'll prepared to
answer any questions that were asked
them.
Mr.. Stradley asked the Secretary to send
a secret agent t japan to gather informa-
ton to be used by immigration inspectors
here. but instead of doing as he was re-
Quested the official wrote TO the Consul
General at Toxic. and was informed in
reply that Mr.. Stradley was in error
The Consnl-General declared that there
were no labor bureaus in Japan and
coolies were not hired there to be shipped
to America. Mr.. Stradley knew that the
Consul-General was mistaken. He knew
that the number of japanese women and
lab0rers in The State is rapidly increasing
and he knew that some one is responsible
for their coming.
The Japs do not land at this port, but go
from their country In ships of the Canadian
Pacific TO British Columbia. where the
steamship company gives a list of its
passengers TO a United States Immigra-
ton Inspector, who decides whether or not
they shall be permitted TO enter this
country. He generally decides in their
favor, for he has no proof against them,
and they come TO California. Mr.. Strad-
ley having failed 10 obtain assistance from
the Treasury Department hopes that Con-
gress will take some action 10 check the
pla que. He will impart the ipformat ton
which he possesses to Congressman
Caminetti, who is preparing bill for the
exclusion of Japanese.
Positive proof of the con tinued importa-
ton of women is slowly accumu ating in
the commissioners hands. and yesterd ay
he caused the arrest of one of the i'm
porters, young man named K. KumoIo,
who has several aliases. KumOro recently
brought a woman from JaDan. who ne in
formed the inspector at Victoria was his
wife. One of Mr.. Slradley's agents found
the woman in den on st. Mary street
yesterday morning, and from her and
others obtained evidence that she had
been imported by KumorO and sold to the
keeper of the house.
Commissioner Heacock committed the

He will be tried on Wednesday morning.
The penalty for his crime is Imprisonment
for three years at hard labor, and the
Commissioner of Immigration is confident
Of his ability to make the charge stick.
Kumoro is supposed to be one of the most
active members of the ring who, in viola
ton of the contract labor law, import the
coolies that are swarming in the fields and
vineyards of the State and who last season
displaced girl hop-plckers in the Sacra-
mento Valley.

GANG OF THIEVES.
Their Headquarters on
Telegraph Hill.
The Men From Whom the Mussios
and Others Bought the Stolen
Goods-Two Arrested.

Several of the numerous articles seized
by the detectives in the house of the
"fence," Frank Music. 2 Midway, have
been identified by the owners. Among
them are E. Meyer. liQuor-dealer. 1047
Market street; the California Clock Com
pany. 1T Eleventh street; Braunsch-
weiger 81 Co.. Drumm street: the
Vallejo Bonded Warehouse; E. M. Green
way, and Balesh & Gehr. GA Market
street. The latter firm had twenty-three
pieces of Turkish embroidered goods, val
ued at about $3.50, stolen from their deliy-
cry wagon on KearDy street about two
months ago.
The thieves are gang with headquar-
ters on Telegraph Hill, who have been
operating for years. Several of them have
been arrested at various times and SEN
tAUced to terms in the County Jail or San
Quentin. but their PAGES have been
promptly taken by others.
They have sold their plumber to resi-.
dents on the hill and at North Beach at
considerable sacrifice, and the purchas ers
were either too satisfied at the prospect of
ge ting articles so cheap, or were afraid of
the consequences to inform the police.
They have been highly successful in
stealing goods from express and delivery
wagons. They could afford to keep a
horse and buggy, and drove around after
these wagons watching favorable oppor-
tunity 10 steal some article and drive rap
idly away with it. At other times they
would drive off with the horse and wagon,
and after emptying the latter of its con-
tents would turn the rig loose, which
would be found by the police and taken to
some livery stable till the owner was dis
covered.
Another trick was for one of the gang to
take the driver of wagon into a door
way on some ipretext and engage him in
conversation while the men in the buggy
made selection of the goods in the wagon.
A bout two and half months ago Cap
tain Lees specially detailed Detectives
Sivey and Egan to unearth the gang and
the ''fences." They had a difficult Job,
but gradually saw ligh through the dark
ness. They raided the shanty of an old
woman on the bill and seized several stolen
articles. Then Captain Lees got an anony-
mons letter which led to the raids upon
Frank Mussio's house, 2 Midway, and the
house of relative on Bay street, and the
arrest of Mrs. Maggie Gardner, one of
Mussio's married daughters. for receiving
stolen goods.

ANOTHER FOLLOWER.
The Deyisadero- Street Question for
the New Board.

tuC lSCW DOdhds
The project of cutting several feet off
the sidewalks of Devisadero street was
considered before the adjourned meeting
of the Street Committee yesterday, but
still no conclusion was reached. Park
Commissioner Stow was present, and the
property owners were represented by
Theo Diercks and j. w. Mcdonald. What
worried them was the expense of making
the change. The property-owners thought
the $4,000 given by Mr.. Huntington should
be put 10 that purpose. while others pro-
tested against cutting down the side walk
for few blocks. holding that it should be
IN ade uniform from end to end, and this,
for repairing, etc.. would cost 1000. The
$4,000. of course, would scarcely serve the
purpose for more han the district between
Grove street and Golden Gate avenue. Mr..
Stow was not certain that 1t could be used
for the purpose, anyhow. as Mr.. Hunting
toms idea was to improve some other
street Some of the property owners
thought that the widening of the roadway
of Devisadero street would make of il
