HELD IN A SLAVE

on the part of the Chinese them selves,
but they have even been greatly ham,
nered bv the officials of this country who
have refused 10 give them aid and in sew
eral instances have gone so far as to
openlv oppose them. Many stories are
told by the ladies of where they have res
cued girls and the law would step in and
take them back to the men who claimed
them as slaves.
Mrs. Green, who has been for many
wears connected with the rescue work of
this State, tod of several hoartrending
incidents where she had met with opposi-
ton on the part of officials. One instance
occurred in Fresno, where she had res
cued girl who had sent word shat she
was held and subjected to brutal treat
ment. She secured the girl, but before
she could get her out of town a warrant
was sworn out charging the slave with
larceny. She was arrested and thrown
into prison, but Mrs. Green went with
her. That night at midnight the doors of
the prison were opened to two Chinese,
who forcibly tore the girl away and car
ried her off despite her strue giles. The
Judge on the bench had connived with
the Chinese, and Mrs. Green afterward
learned that he received $100 for his part
in the nights work.
Another instance recited by Mrs. Green
was where she received word that a girl
desired to escape from slavery. She went
alter the poor creature, but could not find
her. A watch was kept on the house, and
two weeks afterward it was scovered
that the girl had been kept confined under
the flooring of a stable, where she had
been com PEELED to lie during the entire
time. When rescued she was almost dead

The Nominating Committee Pledged to
the New Athletic Association.
The Olympic Club elected on Monday
a nominating board to name the directors
of the club for the ensuing year. These
are five in number: Amos Burr of the
Vanderbilt system of railroads; G. H.
Giuenhagen, merchant; w. J. Birdsall,
cashier of the American Type Founders
Company; Wallace Taylor, clerk OF South
ern Pacific Company, and Thomas F.
Spillane, with j. C. Wilson e. Co. Upon
the recommendation of w. ?. Lawor the
nominating board was instructed to nam
for directors only such memb bers as are in
sympathy with the new Anne rican Athletic
Association of the Pacific States The
election of directors will not be held until
the first Monday in Septem Der.
There are several reasons why the new
association is favored. Its charter mem
bers were the Olympic Club, Fresno Ath-
letic Club and the Acme Athletic Club.
1t is in opposition to the Pacific branch of
the American Athletic Union of the
United States, from which 1t departed on
account of the formers control The new
