periority is worse than jmbecile in his
connection with the practice of importing
young girls for the purpose of compelling
them to live life of shame for the profit
of men too lazy to earn an honest living
by the sweat of their brows. Lees was
informed of the existence of the malodor-
Gus gang a month ago by DR.. Surge of
the PreSby terrain Mission and Rev. NJ G.
Harris of the Methodist Japanese Mission,
who gave him the rames of three of the
unfortunates who were being debauched
in the Brooklyn alley dens against their
will.
Instead of taking such action the senile
old chief grinned patronizngly in the
faces of his informants and assured them
that dens of vice were a necessary evil
in San Francisco, even though they were
stocked with young girls whose sobs and
pleas for liberty had aroused feeling of
pity even in the calloused breasts of the
habitues of the resorts where they We're
confined This head of the. Police De-
partment of the great city of San Fran
cisco absolutely refused to exercise his
authority in behalf of these poor unfortu-
mates, preferring to allow them to remain
and rot in the vapOr of immortality In
which they were forced to live. 1t was
then that the matter was placed In the
hands of Secretary Kane. Before he
could take action the girls were removed
to other lodgings and it became neceS-
sary to locate them again. This was &C
complished several days ago and prepar-
atoms for the raid were at once begun.

raid on the Japanese brothels in Brooklyn
ally last night in search of evidence
against a gang of slave-dealers and slave
owners who have piled their nefarious
vocation III this city with remarkable
success for the last three years. The raid
was success, although instead of res
cuing three of the enslaved females but
one was taken from the vile den where
she had been confined for six months
compelled to receive the Chinese patrons
of the place in order that her master
might fill his Golfers with the price of her
degradation.
This one will prove a valuable witness
and as result of her release from dur
ance some sensational developments are
expected within the next few days, i'm
plicating members of the police force and
a Federal official. The officers were
obliged to drag her from the foul smell
ing den by main force, as, while she was
anxious to be free, she feared the venge-
ance of her master and his minions, and
as long as they were by she trembled
with apprehension. After being safely
lodged in the Presbyterian Mission how
ever, and assured that the liberty she had
so long prayed for was hers at last, she
recovered her compOsure in a mea sure

CARRENO, THE .RAG-TIME
MAN AND TWO CRITICS

A small audience, mostly women. at
tended Carreno's farewell recital in the
Metropolitan Temple Tuesday afternoon.
But whatever the audience lacked in size
it made up in appreciation. At the close
of the programme Nine. Carreno was re-
called again and again. Men cheered and
women shouted "Bravo!" at the tops Of
their voices A score of corsage bouquets
were thrown to the artist. The pro-
Chopin and Schumann together with a
group of modernS. Beethoven was repre-
scented by the "Appassionata" sonata, and
that famous work was given a superb
reading under the thrilling fingers of Car
reno.
Several people remained after Carrenos
concert to hear a new rag-time pianist
discovered by a well-known newspaper
man, andsa fierce fight that broke out be-
tween Mr.. Lucchesi. music critic of the
Wasp, and Mr.. Bosworth, who represents
a daily paper in a like capacity. The
quarrel was the outcome of a recent para
graph of Mr.. Bosworth's, in which the
sons of Italy were alluded to as Dagos.

step out on the sidewalk. Faber was
agreeable and then was ushered in the
battle Of the undertakers.
The tide of battle favored Under

engagement he carried off the honors
of warfare, the first and only blood
coming from the lips of Mr.. Martin.
The other casualties were visited upon
his speclacles, which were ,riturated
by the shoes of the two men as they
spared for wind. Undertakers poured
in from every direction, making a
ring for the principals and waiting
with eagerness for the corpse. Once

pieces of personal property that we're
shed in battle and returning to his la
bors over dead men, Faber covering up
his tracks by darting into the under
taking parlors.
According to Martin the cause of the
scrapping was certain unpleasant
things which Faber had said of him.
"A short time ago." said Marin after
the fight, "a. workman from my estab-
lishment went over to the California
parlors to help them out. Faber, who
was formerly in my employ, and whom
1 kicked out, was working there also.
He said such unwarraated things
about me to my man that the only
thing I could do was to- give him
licking. I went up to mis- place for
that purpose" Faber SAYS the quarrel
was caused over PERSONAL differ
ences. Both men are testing on their
laurels.
