They Are Preparing to Mako Lively
Legal Fight.
From all appearances the recent raid
upon the dens OF Chinatown is likely to
come to naught. Nearly sixty Chinese
women were taken into custody, but with
the majority IL was case of "hzzle." for
the authorities were obliged to iberate
nearly the whole Of the batch.
Not to be wholly outdone, three of the
younger women were formally arrested on
the charge of being unlawfully within the
United States. These women claim to be
native daughters and therefore entitled to
be in this country.
All three cases were yesterday assigned
to Court Commissioner Heacock, who set
the cases for Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday next.
Bert Schlesinger, the Assistant District
Attorney, will represent the United
States. He has no easy task to perform,
for the burden of proving that the women
were not born in this country rests with
the prosecution, and the women do not
have to prove anything. Major Moore ex-
poets to be able to prove that the women
are natives of China. 1t is not likely that
he will succeed.
