GAMBLERS ARE
COMMENTED, BUT
CITY SUFFERS
Losses Through New
Patrol System.

The supporters of the new system of po-
lice activity to prevent gambling in the
dens of the Mongolian district are legion,
but for reasons heretofore explained in
The Call the largest percentage of these
supporters is composed of the Chinese
gamblers themselves. Although the pres
ent head of the Chinatown squad, Ser
geant Donovan. fails to strike terror to
the hearts of the Acknowledged gamblers,
as did the white devil" Sergeant Price,
he cannot be blamed for so gaining the
support of these game-keepers and pa
irons
The truth is that Donovan's moves to
suppress the lawless element are directed
by a board of strategy. Each night he
must report for instructions, and with
each instruction goes on his way the less
capable of coping with the situation as he
find it, for he must obey instructions.
The lunacy of the present system of pc
riodlcal visits to the various games of the
district has already been exploited by The
Call, but the disastrous financial result,
as far as the collection of fines is con-
cerned, has not before been alluded TO. If
the small figures representing the amount
inauguration of the new system denoted
a decrease in gambling there would be
cause for universal rejoicing, but when 1t
is manifest that sufficient evidence exists
10 prove that gambling never flourished
as at present and with so little interfer-
ence. naught can be said of the system
but in criticism and a wish prevail for a
change and a radical change.

ceration, and in event the matter of Gre
ating a fund to supply the jurors with
food is not arranged by the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors with
in that time the doors of the city jails
will be thrown open and a dangerous
host of criminals will stalk forth to re-
new their chosen vocations.
A short time ago it was announced that
the fund created to pay restaurant bills
incurred on behalf of the jurors was ex-
hausted. Thursday at noon the jury in
whose hands the fate of John j. Hierer,
charged with manslaughter, rested was
ordered into the custody of the Sheriff,
and a deputy was directed to take them
to lunch. The twelve men good and true
were marched to near by restaurant,
but the keeper refused to feed them with
out money in advance, saying that he
could not trust the city for the outlay.
The jurors were returned to court, and
when Judge Cooks attention was called
to the matter he disbanded the jury and
ordered its various members to return
yesterday morning to deliberate upon a
verdict. At noon yesterday the jury
time, and then the court instructed them
that they could not be fed. The jury re-
turned to the deliberation room and for
couple of hours these hungry men dis,
cussed the evidence in favor of and
against the accused. Finally they came
into court and entered verdict of not
guilty. The court then dismissed the jury
Lawlor and Dunno. The Judges hold that
juries are entitled to maintenance and
care by the Sheriff during the time they
are in custody, and if maintenance cam
not be assured them the Judges will re-
fuse to call them into court. Outlines,
they say, juries require as many as twen-
ty-four hours in which to arrive at a ver-
dict, and to prevent a miscarriage of JUS
tice they should be properly cared for
during that time and will be, else the
criminal department will close up and the
jails will be emptied.
Later in the day Attorney PeiXotto, rep
resenting Sheriff Martin, appeared before
the Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors and after stating the action
taken by Judge Cook asked that some
steps be at once taken to provide money
for the maintenance of jurors. In reply
Chairman Perrault stated that the MEM
bers of the committee would hold con-
ference with the Auditor and Treasurer
to-day and decide as to how best to meet
the emergency. The committee will re-
port to the board on Monday, and that
body will no doubt pass whatever author
ization may be necessary in the prem
ises. The action contemplated is the
transfer of money from one fund to an
other.

sons profess to see in the application a
possibility of the Sutter-Street Company
ending its relations with the SutrO line.
It is pointed out that Robert Morrow and
Mr.. Grant who control the Sutter-Street
line, are also the minority stockholders
in the Geary-street road. If the fran
chiSe is to be abandoned ii is held that
their consent must be obtained before 1t
can be surrendered. 1t is expected they
Will naturally demand some concession
for the Sutter-street line. 1t is reasona-
bic to believe the concession would be
Joint ownership of the proposed electric
road to the beach. Should that be brought
about, eventually they would hardly con-
tinue transferring to the Sutro line This
would leave the Sutro line without con-
Meeting link with the heart of the city.
1t would undoubtedly destroy it, leaving
Clement street without road. This is
the business street of Richmond and was
built up by the Sutro Company.
No franchise is asked for Point Lobos
avenue, which is taken as an intimation
that the Market-street Railway Company
expects to hold that great thorOughfare
on an old franchise. On June 5, 1892, d
franchise was granted the Ocean Beach
railroad Company, since merged with
the Market-street Railway Company,
from First avenue to the Cliff House
road. This was to run fifty years. No
work has been done on it, hence the claim
is made that the company has no legal
right to its possession.
The Iroquois Club has also taken a
hand in the fight. At meeting last night
the following resolution, presented by e.
I. Z. Troy, was adopted. 1t reads:
Whereas, The Market Street Railway
Company Of San Francisco has applied to
the Board of Supervisors for numerous
franchises; and
Whereas This corporation has always ex-
hibited an utter disregard of the rights,
comforts and even the lives of the people
and has frequently violated the law by lay
ing rails upon streets of this city with
out securing a franchise. namely: O Far
rell street from Scott to Devisadero and
on Church street. from Ridley to Sixteenth;
and also destroying the only desirable
driveway to Golden Gate Park by laying
rails of character dangerous to life and
limb Devsadero; and
Whereas There is a large number of
streets covered with its rails and slots
unused, and it frequently abandons parts of
franchises to suit its own convenience: and
Whereas. 1t has steadfaStly refused to
adopt working brakes and life saving fend-
ers; and
Whereas. The charter adopted by the
votes of our people expressly provides that
1t is the purpose OF the city to acquire its
public utilities and that franchise shall
be granted for more than twenty-five years;
therefore be ii
against the granting of any franchises at
the present time especially to the grant
ing of franchise to the Market Street
Railway Company to cover Geary street;
and be it further
Resolved That we protest against the
Board Of Supervisors granting the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company the right to lay
another steam railroad track through the
Mission district.

commenced. For day or 80 the Chinese
were discounted, but with characteristic
shrewdness they soon got the police Wis
it's timed and during the interim played
merrlIy away with no fear of interfer-
ence. Again. watches were so placed
that the expected arrival of the police
was heralded to the players in the vari-
Gus dens and when the squad arrived the
door would swing open, few disconsol-
ate appearing Chinese would be seated on
their launches, perhaps another reading,
another smoking. a cursory glance
around would satisfy the squad. it would
leave and instantly the games would
open.
This system is still continued. AS said
before, ii was inaugurated on April q. In
cluding that day and UP to and includ-
ing May 10, Sergeant Donovan and posse
made seventy-seven arrests. Out of this
batch fines were collected amounting to
$765: OF the seyenty-seven gamblers ar
rested twenty-five were dismissed and
seven cases are still pending. The preced-
ing month, from and including March
q and up to and including the 18th of
April, Sergeant Price, under the old
system, which was investigated" and
found wanting, made 224 arrests. Fines
were collected from these gamblers
amounting to s2G00 forty-fve cases were
dismissed and a few are still pending. In
other words a comparison will show that
under the old system 147 more arrests
were made. the city was enriched $685.
and less gambling was INDUCED in The
18th and 20th of April-these dates, as
will be seen, being omitted in the calcu-
lations-were occupied by Sergeants Price
and Donovan in consultations. Price was
preparing to turn the district over and
Donovan to receive it, consequently no
arrests were made.
1t Will be seen from these figures that
under the new system the city will lose
about $1,000 a month, 1900 year, and
still the merry -go-round'' continues, and
Chinese continue likewise.

During the last two raids made under the
