Vest and Leslie Cullum.

West and Leslie Cullum, who,e
stations are in Washington and Oregon,
were sent for. They unearthed more facts
going TO show that the opium was pur-
chased for Kwong Fong Tai & Co. from
Rosario & Co., an opium firm of China,
ana that Davidson was merely the agent
who handled the goods. They even claim
10 ma trace OF a contract between the
parties, and at once concluded that the
Chinese were violating the law against i'm
portatlon by those OF their race.
In order to make sure of their ground
the United States District Attorneys office
was asked for an opinion, and Assista :
Bert Schleslnger was detailed to render il.
he read the laws carefully and arrived al
the conclusion that the transaction was a
technical If not direct violation of tie
law.
Acting on his opinion the special agents
addressed letter to the Collector asking
him to detain the drug until the matter
could be passed on by the United States
courts and he made the order that is caus-
ing all the trouble.
The price of opium will probably double
before the question is settled, as the sup
ply III Chinatown is limited, only enough
oelng taken out of bond at time 10 sup
ply the immediate demand.
It's not unlikely at if it is proven that
the opium belonged to the Chinese when
1t was landed the Celestials will be prose-
cuted. 1t is understood from the reading
OF the law that neither Davidson nor
Swayne and Hoyt have been guilty of any
oI1ense against the laws.
Mr.. Davidson was not at his place of
business yesterday and Swayne and Hoyt
SAID that all they knew about the matter
was that they had cleared the opium at
the request of Davidson and supposed that
the drug belonged to him.

The speaker was Police Judge Camp
bell and the occasion a conference be-
tween the Police Judges and a committee
of the Manufacturers and Producers
Association in Justice of the Peace
GroeZinger's private cham bers. Present
were the four Police Judges, Campbell,
Conlan, Low and Joachimsen; the COM
mittee, composed of Oscar Lewis, Isidor
Jacobs, A. Sbarboro, A. Mclaughlin and
Secretary c. l.. Blethin; and ]. A.
Filcher, repre- senting the State Board Of
Trade; Colonel c. L. Taylor, the San

subject of securing convictions for viola
tions of the pure-foou statutes. lie acted
generally as spokesman for the Police
Judges. while Isidore Jacobs performed in
q similar capacity for the committee.
At the outse: of the argument Jacobs
explained the trouble that had existed in
securing convictions in The courts, and
said the committee believed much of
this trouble could be obviated by having
all cases come before one Judge. He was
interrupted bv Judge Campbell with an
indignant query as to whether the advo-
Gates OF pure food made the assertions ac-
credited TO them by the press, whereupon
Mr.. Jacobs denied the same with an avid
ity delightful to witness, and explained
at reporters were oftentimes very care
less in handling the graphite. In view of
the fact that Mr.. Jacobs at various times
has personally appealed to the press to
support the advocates of pure food in
their crusade, his denials were rather pc
culiar.
Judge Low wished to know why the
battle was not made with the jobbers and
importers instead of the retailers, who
could not open each can of food 10 see if
it were pure. He was willing to take his
share of cases, but would not handle ALL

DIVORCE MATTERS.

Expected Activity for Two Months on
Account of a New Law.
Divorce matters are likely to be greatly
accelerated in the courts of California
during the next two months. On the 26th
OF April a new law will go into effect
which will require that divorced people
cannot marry until year after the sign
ing of the decree.
In addition to fastening present and
contemplated litigation. it is understood
that the new law will affect the interests
of great many people who will hereafter
seek 10 avail them selves OF the law which
permits legal separation of husband and
wife.
Under present conditions, women with
prof1igate husbands are able to obtain
divorce, and soon afterward they are re-
married, their new mate not infreouently
being picked out before the old one is law
fully disposed of. This state of affairs
will be changed, for few men win be will
ing to wait year for chance to marry a
divorced woman.

COLLECTOR WISE
HOLDS ALL OPIUM
An Investigation Regard
ing Importation Is
on Foot.
Chinese Said to Be Evading the
Laws That Uphold the
Treaty.
Over 5000, 900 Worth of the Drug Is
Now Tied Up in the B2n1ed
Warehouses.

CONSERVATION reigns in Chinatown and
among the opium dealers of this City
over the action of Collector of the Port
Wise in ordering that all of the opium
now in the bonded warehouses of this
structions from him.
The amount of the drug so tied up is
said to be between $780, 600 and S400, 900
and another big opium scandal is an tici-
pated before the matter is settled up.
Mr.. Wise's action was taken at the re-
quest of the special treasury agents now
stationed here and is the result of an ex-
haIstive investigation that has been going
on for some time.
1t may be eventually shown that there
has been no violation of the law in re-
gard to the drug, but this can only be de-
termined blythe courts.
Article 2 of the existing treaty with the
Chinese Government prescribes that no
Chinese resident in this country may i'm
port opium and a reciprocal regulation
exists regarding AmerIcans in China. The
treaty makes this provision Subject to
appropriate legislation.
Prior to February %, 1887, Congress had
made no provision to enforce the section
quantities of the narcotic.
In the latter part of 1856 $3.50 600 worth
of opium in this City was seized on the
ground that it had been imported in vio-
lation of the provisions of the treaty, but
was released when it was shown that the
treaty had anticipated supplementary leg
islatlon.
Then, on the date mentioned, Congress
passed an act as provided for by the
treaty, and the Chinese ceased bringing
in the drug in their own names.
Since that time all opium has been
brought in by white firms doing business
here and has thus found its way into the
Chinese quarter.
Some time ago a shipment valued at
$500, 600 reached this City on one OF the
China liners and was consigned to II. r.
Davidson, the accountant of the Bank OF
British Colum bia. The size of the ship
ment excited the curiosity of the customs
officials and a quiet investigation was
made TO ascertain whether the opium be-
ionged 10 Davidson or was purchased in
the capacity of an agent for other parties.
1t was found that Swayne IL Hoyt,
Custom house brokers, had done the work
OF getting the opium through and that
the larger portion of he drug was event
ually transferred to Kwong Fong Tai &
Co., opium dealers in the Chinese quarter.
Enough evidence was discovered to
make a more thorough investigaI
tion necessary, and Agents Calef

JUNIOR ORDER IN SESSION
The State Council Will Meet in

day Next.
The Increase in Membership During
the Past Year - Suggestions
That Will Be offered.

The next annual session of the State
Council, Junior Order of United Ameri-
can Mechanics, will be held in Sacra-
mento commencing next Tuesday at 10
O'Clock in the forenoon. From the reports
received from the various counties in the
State the prospects are that there will be
fuiI delegation of epresentatives.
Henry G. Schaertzer, the State coun-
cilor, will present a very interesting re-
port setting forth in detail what he has
done during the year in his official capac-
ity, and he will suggest several matters
for the State Council to act upon. provid-
ing the suggestions he will make will
meet with the views of the delegates.
The State Councillor has with one or
two exceptions had first-class deputies
who have assisted him materially in the
work that be has had to do and direct
and for this assistance he feels yerv
grateful.
During the year he granted twenty.
eight dlspensationsi denied because of
non-comp pIiance with the rules of asking
Tor them, and rendered eight off icial de.
cisions. He issued warrants for four new
councils. at Elmhurst, at Stockton, at San
Jose and at Alameda.
During the year one council, by vote of
the mem bers, wac disbanded. This was
John c. Fremont Council of San Ber-
nardino.
The State Councillor during the wear
visited every councilin the State except
the one at Lompoc and the one recentiv
organized in San Jose. He is of the
opinion that the visits by the grand
officers of the organization have stimu-
lating effect upon the membership of the
subordinate councils and should be en-
couraged.

sessions the State be divided into three

the cases.
Judge Conlan asserted for himself and
confreres that ali cases in which men
were discharged from custody after beng
brought up Tor violation of the laws in
question were due to lack of evidence.
Then 1t was that Judge Cam pbell arose
in all his dignity ana with contempIa-
tive stroke OF the hirsute growth that has
won him State fame as human Eolian
Tyre delivered himself of the words which
introduce this article. By so doing he
voluntarily took upon himself the Mosaic
otfice of leading all pure-!ood cases out of

into the promised land of justice.
Nothing more remained TO be said.

and all departed in peace, Judge Camp
