San Francisco-a chapter that shall tell
where the "fiends" or chop heads buy
their dope" In a general way it is easily
discovered that the victims of the habit
wend their weary steps toward Chinatown
for the drug. You can see them passing
up Dupont street any night, and often in
the daylight one is bold enough to go
forth and make the purchase necessary to
satisfy the morbid craving that will soon
induce nausea and cramps unless indul-
gence is fastened.
Now, the laws are very strict concerning
the sale of opium in San Francisco. There
is State law forbidding its sale except for
medical purposes, and a City ordinance
prescribing the sale of opium for any pur-
pose or to any person except upon the
presentation of a physicians certificate.
The City ordinance, as abridged in re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court affirm
ing its validity, reads as follows:
The order was approved in July, 1889, and
is numbered 2065.
Section provides that it shall be unlawful
for any apothecary or any person
whatever to sell = TO any person in the
City and County of San Francisco any opium
except upon written prescription or
written order OF a practicing physician, as
provided in this order, and except upon the
day of the date of said prescription or order.
Section of the order provides that every
person selling opium, ETC., must keep book
and record therein the sale, name, age, sex,

TO CONGRESS.
Prayer for the Passage of a
Japanese-Cooly ExClu-
sion Law.
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald
Wants Thousands of Names
on the Paper.

Deputy Labor Commissioner G. L. Dam
yesterday sent to the State printer at Sac
ramento to be printed the following petit
ton to Congress for the passage of an act
restricting or prohibiting the immigration
of Japanese laborers to this country:
SAN Francisco, CAL Sept. l, 1895.
To the Senate and House of Representatives Of
Congress of the United States: The undersigned
citizens of the United States, residing in the
State of California, most virtually interested
in the employment of white labor to the exclu-
sion of the subjects OF oriental empires, re-
speetfully represent:
First-That the immigration of the subjects
of the Japanese empire is the greatest danger
impending over the present and future welfare
of the white citizens of the State of California.
Second-That to the white laborer of Cali
fornia it is a matter of imperative necessity to
have this class of immigration restricted.
Third-That the habits and characteristics of
the japanese as laborers tend to make them a
far more dangerous class and greater menace
to the welfare of white labor, as their ability to
ubsist on minimum amount prompts them
TO accept the smallest rate of wages for work
performed, and they are therefore constantly
supplanting white labor.
Fourth-That not long since the matter OF
Chinese immigration became SO injurious that
the citizens arose and demanded relief from
Congress- which came in the form of an ex-
clusion law, That the japanese immigration Is
assuming such proportions that 1t will soon
outrival that of the Chinese.
Fifth-That in the recent investigation OF
the Japanese question by Labor Commissioner
Fitzgerald the testimony developed the fact
that of the 1000 japanese who could come
to California the japanese Government would
permit the emigration of 10000. Other testi-
mony reveals the fact that the vast number of
contract laborers now in the Sandwich Islands
stand ready to embark for California.
Sixth-That there are thousands of unem-
ployed white laborers in California, ten thou
sand of whom are supplanted by Japanese Ia
borers.
In view of these facts we earnestly recon-
mend that restriction or exclusion law be
enacted which will prohibit the immigration
of japanese laborers to the United States; and
your petitioners will ever pray.
Many copies of this petition will be dis
tributed throughout the State for sigma
lures. 1t is hoped that at least 200, 900 sig
natures will be affixed to the memorial
before Congress meets in December. When
signed it will be forwarded to Congress
and to every member of Congress. 1t will
be accompanied by memorial upon the
same subject, which will contain the La
Dor Commissioners report of the recent
Japanese-cooly investigation.

had previously led the way to the resorts
of the chop heads made tour of China
town for the purpose of buying opium.
Neither had physicians prescription.
But one of them had what is far more
efficacious, an intimate knowledge of the
''fiends" and those who supply them with
the drug.
The "dope" is usually sold either in
hop toys or Ii gees. The latter are for the
smaller quality. Fourteen of them were
purchased at as many different stores in
Chinatown. The Ii gee is either 15-cent
or 25-cent package OF second-class opium
always sold for the best), in which the
drug-that looks and smells not unlike
black ana thick molasses-is put up In the
shells of small Chinese nuts and then
wrapped in MANILA paper.
At all of the following places Ii gees
were purchased:
QUONG YOT LING, 10 Waverley place.
SHUN FOOK & CO., S06 Jackson street.
TAI HING, 1016 Dupont street.
MAN LEE, 700 Dupont street.

Without doubt there are several other
places in Chinatown. There is Chinanan
on Stevenson street that has sold opium
there for a long time. Perhaps in his case
the police have not been so much at fault.
Some of Captain Short men have arrested
and convicted this Chinaman no less than
six times. And although the penalty pre-
scribed by the law is very heavy, the cul-
prit has always escaped, to go back again to
his odious trade, upon payment of fine of
$40. This is a ridiculous penalty for the
offense charged and proven

The Merchants Association sent in a

made misdemeanor and is punishable as
such.
There was a further order passed by the
Supervisors which permitted the sale OF
opium to those who should procure a
license for that purpose at an expense, OF
from $50 to $3.50 quarter. But this order
antedated the order of 1889, and in the case
of ex parte Hong Shen, convicted of selling
opium under the latter ordinance, the Su-
preme Court held that:
The language of order No. 2085 covers all
kinds OF opium, and 'any extract of opium or
production thereof or any prepare
ton or compound OF which any of these SUBJ
stances extracts or products is an element or
ingredient" There is no question, therefore,
that all orders in conflict Herewith are re-
pealed.
So the gist OF the whole matter is this:
The Supreme Court of California has held
that it is UNLAWFUL TO SELL OPIUM IN SAN
FRANCISCO EXCEPT UPON THE PRESENTATION
OF BoNA-FIDE PHYSICIANS PRESCRIPTION
OF EQUAL DATE WITH THE PURCHASE.
Let US see whether this law is enforced
in San Francisco.

R. SPRECKELS WEEDS.
The Bride Is Miss Nellie Jolliffe, One
of the Bellies of
Society.

Miss Nellie Jolliffe and Rudolph Spreck-
els were quietly married yesterday at the
home of the bride. 1t was in the nature Of
a surprise to good many, although it had
been rumored some time ago that the
young couple were engaged, although
neither of them would confirm the report
when asked about it. The ceremony was
performed by Vicar-General Prendergast
in the presence of relatives and few
friends.
Miss Jolliffe is one of the bellies OF San
Francisco, and besides has the reputation
of being one of the brightest girls in society,
where she has been very popular. She is a
brunette, with tall, graceful figure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spreckels left on their
honeymoon yesterday afternoon and will
not return to the City for some time.
