That chapter OF the report relating TO
the power Of the Supervisors was taken
up. An attempt was made by the mi

Tor, which was lost at the last meeting
and which restricted the power of the
Supervisors, taken up on reconsideration
but the attempt was a failure, Mr.. Craig
casting the deciding vote against 1T.
A section relating to the establishment
of crematorjes and cemeteries was stricken
out, as 1t was thought 10 be an attack on

sections were considered, several unim-
portant changes being made. 1t was de-

flowing from small scalp wound, prob
ably inflicted when he had fallen 10 the
floor.
DR.. M. H. Logan was Immediately sent
for, but he stated that Hepburn had been
dead for ar least an hour. The Coroner
was notified, but after investigating the
case allowed the body to remain at the
TT sidence, as he thought 1t clearly an ac-
cIdent and not suicide.
Mr. Hepburn had been suffering from
stomach troubles for weeks past, and it
is supposed that in the attempt 10 take
some medicine during the night he had
left the gas partially turned on, as the Jet
was out of order. On smelling the odor
of gas he had attem pied to rise to shut it
off, but was overcome AMI fell to the
floor. where he was asphyAiated. The
window of his loom was partly opened.
MIR. Jansen denies that Hepburn was
mem Der of the firm, but states that the
name of Hepburn was placed on the list
for the reason that he was weil-known
man, and in that way helped the business
along. Although Mr.. Hepburn was at
one time connected with the firm he was
financially unable TO carry his portion OF

Hepburn has recently been declared in

WILL PAY NO

Local Chinese Dealers in
the Drug Laugh at
the Law.
Hire a Firm Of Attorneys. to
Help Them Defy the
Order.
Big Fees to Assist in the Defeat of
the Ends of Justice the
Traffic Goes On,

License Collector Bonnet has big Job
on his hands, in consequence of victory
won by him at the meeting of the Board
of Supervisors on last Monday ate DON.
At that me citing order 3099, relating to the
sale of opium, was repealed. The ordl-
nance in question prohibited the sale OF
OPIUM except by licensed druggists, and
only upon the prescription of a recog-
nized physician. The order was, of
course, aimed at the Chinese dealers, but
the Chinese ignored it and there was no
cessation of the sale If the drug.
When Bonnet went into office he started
out TO collect license from the denizens OF
Chinatown, but at the outset found him.
self confronted by the prohibitory order.
An investigation soon developed the fact
that the sale of the drug was in no wise
restricted and Tho License Collector an
nounced his intention of having the or
der rescinded. This news was received IN
Chinatown and created some little con-
sternation.
A prominent firm of attorneys was con-
suited and the conference resulted in one
of the most remarkable contracts ever
entered INTO in this city, signed by
twenty-four of the most important firms
III
The document guarantees the Mon
golian dealers immunity from tie law in
the sale of opium Tor the term OF q year.
II provides that no license shall be paid
during that period, AMI that the attor-
neys shall receive $500 a month if the
provision is carried out If any license is
paid, the remuneration shall be but $3.50 a
month.
Whichever way the cat jumps the altor-
news have sure thing, and owing to the
slow process of the courts it is possible
that if an arrest is made it can be dragged
along for year and the salary OF the at
torneys can proceed at the same time.
The repeal of order 3099 leaves standing
the original order licensing the sale OF
opium.
This ordinance has been in force since
1881, and not single dollar has ever been
collected on it.
The $4S00 for lawyers fees has been
cheeffully subscribed by the merchants,
irrespective of the tongs they belong to-.
The contract may be s. good one for the
attorneys. but it means more broken
hearts the ruin of more unfortunates and
more des 1late homes for san Francisco.
