Dope FiendS" Rendezvous
From the North Beach to
the Mission
IN DEFIANCE OF THE LAWS.
A Further Lifting of the Veil From
the Most Dangerous Resorts
in the City.
THE POLICE OFFICIALS SURPRISED.
1.-THE CALLS EXPOSE NOT
COMPLETE YET.

Some of the police officials rubbed their
eyes when they read The CALL yesterday.
They hoped it was only some evil night
mare-that opium expose-that long list of
resorts for white 'dope fends" in China
town. But the hope was vain. And at
last some of these police officials gained a
knowledge that may be useful to them in
future efforts-when they come to realize
that the laws against the opium traffic
should be enforced.
Not every man in the police department
gained a new knowledge from reading the
expose in THE CALL, though it is evident
from what Chief Crowley said in his inter
view in THE CALL Saturday morning, that
he was in ignorance of the startling and
shameful facts laid bare TO the public in
these columns yesterday-and again to-
day.
But the ignorance of the chief may be
pardonabIe. He cannot know what is not
reported to him, for he is too busy man
to make personal investigations. The igno-
rance of his subalterns however, is not so
pardonable, though it is better than crimi-
nal knowledge.
The policemen who regularly patrol the
beats wheron these opium dens are
located may fairly be supposed to possess
even a greater knowledge of the opium
evil in San Francisco than their chief
gained yesterday by reading THE CALL.
These are merely comments in passing.
The time has not yet arrived for conclusions
to be drawn, for even the bare glimpse of
the vllest and most pernici0us evil with
which the slums of a metropolis were ever
afflicted, that The CALL means to show the
public, has not yet been given.
1t has been shown how, when and where

The vice has spread beyond the limits of
Chinatown. The City is infested with the
haunts and dens of opium smokers.
list of twenty places where the
"fends" rendeZous to practice the vice has
been compiled after only few days in
vestigation. Without doubt there are a
hundred or more of these dens scattered
throughout the City.
Most of them are lodging-houses. In
some of the lodging-houses there are lay
outs in every room, and nightly hundreds
of the "hop heads congregate in these
rooms to satisfy their morbid craving for
the debaslng drug, while many novices-
young men and girls from respectable
homes-fnd their way to the dens to take
their first steps that lead surely to the
gutter or the madhouse.
This state of things is unlawful. More,
it is known to the policemen who regularly
patrol these beats. What is worse still
policemen have been seen to enter these
resorts and consort with the inmates.
Next 10 q leper there is nothing so de-
graded in the human family as the "hop
head" Chief Crowley has said he believes
there are by no means a thousand of them

INTERIOR VIEW OF SOME OF THE
TENDERLOIN OPIUM
UIAINTS },

An interior view of room devoted to
opium smoking in the tenderloin district
is most uninviting as rule. 1t lacks even
the picturesQueness of the unclean Chinese
"joint" In the old days, before the Leg
islature and the Supervisors passed strln-
gent laws forbidding the maintenance OF
these dens some of them were handsomely
and even luxuriantly appointed. Now
they are usually bare rooms, with only the
scant allowance of cheap furniture usually
found in the lower order of lodging houses.
On the third floor of the Baltimore
House, at SOP Bush street, room was
found quite typical of most of the others in
that neighborhood. 1t was single room,
with an iron-framed bedstead, washstand
and wardrobe. On the bed lay the
smoker, man not more than IS years of
age.
"I'll be through in a few moments" he
said, when the person entered. Then you
can have the pipe. Why don't some of
you 60 to Mixes room? He has two lay
outs"
