After we got the girl from the house
the watchman had a crowd OF Cinnamon
lollow us almost 10 the doors of the mis-
lon-nouse, and all the time he was abus-
ing Us and trying 10 incite the mob TO at
TACK US and take the girl from US. This
experience is nothing different from many
others we have when we try to get girls
away from these houses. We always meet
with just such treatment at the hands OF
the watchmen, and if we are successful 1t
rs always against great odds L wish
every body could see just what is going on
IN Chinatown as we see 1t, and they would
fully appreciate the need of the petition
Which is being circulated asking the
President to take the matter in hand.
The mem bers of the Chinese slave
owners society are much incensed over
the circulation of the petition, and are
now making yelled threats against those
who are thus trying to interfere'with their
business. 1t means a great financial loss
to them, and they do n not propose to allow
1t If they can prevent it, by fair means or
foul. Consul General Yu has no sympathy
with the violation of the laws OF this
country, and IS giving the ladies OF the
mission all the encouragement in his
power He is powerless to put stop to it
himself, but steadily sets his face against
anything that is not in conformance with
the laws OF this country.

ILLUSTRIOUS CHINESE.
The Seer etary of the Legation an
Honored Guest at the
Consulate.

Last evening at $3.50 Wong Tt Quin, Sec
retary of the Chinese legation at Wssh-
ington, arrived in this City and was taken
to the residence OF )nsul-General Yu,
where he was the guest of honor. A dim
neI was given to the secretary at which
N any prominent men of Chinatown were
invited guests. The secretary will remain
in the City for several days, and will prob
ably then go to China. He is accom- panied
by two attaches of The legation and an
attendant, and there is considerable guess
ing going on among the Chinese here as
to just what his visit portends.
The trouble among resident Chinese
over the slave question may be brought to
his attention, and be is also expected to
investigate the recent threats of death
which were posted on the walls of China
Town. The men interested in having the
laws OF the country obeyed look for
hearty support at his hands, while the
members of the slave-deaers' association
Will do all in their power to make him be-
heve that they are a bove reproach.

AFTER CHINATOWN SQUAD
Mongolian Law VioIators Find That
They Are Too Closely
IookAd After


The Chinatown squad, under Sergeant
Perrin, has been looking too closely into
viol ators of the law in that part of the
City, and the suit is that the heads OF
the various clubs begin to think they must
do something to prevent this infringe
ment upon what they have so far con-
sidered their rights Word reached the
sergeant yesterday that there was to be a
meeting of the chiefs of the clubs at which
action was to be taken to afford better
protection to those who gambled.
A descent was made upon the room
where the gathering took place and fifteen
men were found around a table, upon
which were a mum Der OF red papers. The
sergeant took possession of the papers
and sent them out for Interpretation, and
found that they were notices which had
been sent TO ali the clubs asking them to
be represented at a meeting which was to
consiuer proposition from local law
yer in which he agreed for the sum of
$4,000 year to protect them from police
in erference, and guaranteed that the
police would not break down any more
doors in their attempts to get into gam
bing-rooms. PAY ments were to be made
at the rate OF $625 quarterly and $500
down before work was begun.
The descent of the squad interfered with
the meeting, but it was afterward learned
that the proposition was rejected. and it
was determined that there should be an
assessment of $40 on each club, and with
this fund an attempt would be ID ade to
have the present personnel of the China
town squad altered in order that it should
be composed of men who would not take

DEATH OF MRS. TOWNSEND.
Found Dead in Bod and the Gas
Flowing.

Flowing.
Mrs. Caroline Townsend, vile of E. de
Kay townsend, secretary of the Red Cap
Mining Company, was found dead in her
bed at her residence, 2618 Laguna street,
at an early hour yesterday morning. The
deceased lady had been ailing for some
lime with what was considered heart
trouble, and as a consequence she had a
nurse 10 wait on her. Wednesday night,
however, the nurse was absent, and all
that could be ascertained was that the
gas IN the slckroom had been left burning
during the night while the windows were
open, and 1t was either blown out by the
draft, or the lady got up during the night
ana IN some manner tampered with the
Jet, leaving 1t open in such way so that
sufficient escaped to cause her death.
When the family awoke in the morning
the strong odor of escaping gas in the
house attracted their attention. An in
yestlgation of the premises soon revealed
the cause. In the room was found the
open jet with the dead BODY of Mrs.
Townsend lying on the bed.
The deceased was native of New York.
aged 49 years. Tne Coroner was notified,
but decided not to remove the BODY to the
Morgue; but he will hold an inquest.

Special Watchmen Abuse and

the Work.
STORY OF A THRILLING ADVENTURE.
Two Hours in a Slave Den in a
Struggle to Save an Unfortu-
nate Woman.

There was another object-lesson for the
people OF San Francisco Wednesday night
in the rescue OF slave girl, a short &C.
count of which APPEARED in The CALL of
yesterday morning, but the full details of
which could not at that time be told.
Notwithstanding the fact that three la
dies were struggling with the habitues of
Chinese house of i'll repute, and opposed
by white man who even went so far as
TO strike Miss Lake blow on the head,
two policemen detailed to protect the
ladies stood idly by and permitted them
to be maltreated and abused, and it was
not until Sergeant Perrin made his ap-
pearance and took an active part in the
affray that the ladies had anything like
adequate protection in their work.
1t is but due to Sergeant Perrin and his
squad to say that in every instance where
help is required ty these noble ladies in
The San Francisco call., 1897-08-13

such an active interest in having the law
enforced.
1t is understood that this action of the
clubs was brought about partly by the
slave owners, who say that the squad is
giving too much assistance to those
who are trying to break up their business.
Word reached the sergeant last evening
that band OF high binders were making
preparations to carry trouble to certain
Cinnamon, and raid was made on Baker
alley in houses where they were known
to congregale, but just as the squad en-
tered the mouth of the alley an electric
light went out, and Immediately the tink-
ling of electric bells put all on their
guard, with the result that the raid found
empty rooms.

A Fight for a Child.

Application was made to the Supreme Court
yesterday for writ of habeas corpus to secure
the custody of little Ruth Reynolds, a baby
nineteen months old The application was
made by Molly Leary, who adopted the child
A year or so ago Elizabeth Reynolds was
divorced from Charles Reynolds, and Ruth
was awarded to the mother. On the 9th inst
Mrs. Reynolds transferred the little one to
Superior Judge Seawell signing the adoption
papers. Two days later he set aside the odop-
ton proceedings and the father took his
daughter. The application was made to the
Supreme Court because none of the other
Superior Judges cared to interfere in the
matter.

BOYS Still ON STRIKE.
The Rivet-Heaters of the Union
Iron Works Are Holding
Together.
A Number of New Boys Were Taken
On, but Gould Not Stand the
Severe Heat.

The thirty-ive boys who went on strike
at the Union Iron Works Wed nesday noon
are still out and firm in their resolves not
to go back 20 work until their demands
are granted A meeting was held yesterday
morning at the Junior Standard Athletic
Clubs rooms and delegation was sent to
interview the foreman, but could not make
any satisfactory agreement with him.
The foreman said if the boys would come
back one by one he would re-employ them,
but he will not recognize them as a body.
This the boys refuse to do, as it would only
be case of going back at the same rate OF
wages.
The whole trouble arose, the boys say,
over the fact that thew have only been re-
ceiving from 81 90 to So per week, while in
other factories the wages paid for the same
work is 81 25 and 81 80 per day. The boys
are willing to go back if hey will De taken
in as body and paid 81 % per day.
1t was reported that a number of new
boys were taken on this morning, but
could not do the work, as they were not
accustomed to the heat. About 100 men
are thrown out of work by the strike.

The Premier, or leader OF the
Province of Ontario, was the first
to welcome us, was followed by
DR.. Carmen. The former in be-
half of the Province; the latter in
behalf of Canadian Methodism.
DR.. Carmen said; Welcome, of
our common Anglo-SaXon speech,
meant "good.comer, so we may
as we'll take their hat-racks and
umbrella stands, and make our
selves at home. This we did.
They welcomed us, he said, for
whom we were, for what we were,
for whence we came, for why we
came and whittier VIC came; for
what we gave, for what VIC rccciv-
cd. They welcomed us because
of the broad land we called our
country. He said, again, that the
backbone of the Methodist church
to-day was its young people, their
Leagues and Unions, and their
foundation, the Book Of Truth
the Bible.

there was cause for alarm ecausc
the Epworth League had SO many
new branches of work, new ways
and means of doing it. They
reasoned that our fathers didn't do
that way. He saw no cause for
alarm, and he urged that we depart
from these beaten paths and take
step in advance toward the more
modern methods. This idea was
also advanced by DR.. Monk, Of
Georgia, who illustrated his mean
ing in this way: When Robert
Bruce was on his way to the Holy
Land, to fulfill a VOW, he died. AS
last request he asked his very
special friend, Douglas, to see that
