The procuress was held by the Immi-

noted procuress. While held at the Mis-

fed her as the wife of Kwong Leung, the
former partner of Little Pete, and they
told Chief Meredith that she was the
woman who had brought them to this
country. Investigation of the charge

THE DAY AND THE WEATHER

AS stated In yesterdays Call the cold
wave which visited the State on Tues
day brought very little rain with it. There
were few spasmodic showers yesterday
morning, and about one-tenth of an inch
was registered in this city, tapering down
to one-hundredth of an inch near San
Luis Obispo. There was a slight precipi-
tation in the interior, but most Of the
rain fell along the coast.
1T is safe to say" said Professor Ham
mon yesterday, that the last rain has
run Its race. although we might get a lit
tie shower now and then tonight, but not
to amount to anything. Tomorrow we
will have partly cloudy weather, but no
rain. The temperature here went as low
as As degrees, and the northwest wind
which brings in moist air makes the con-
ditions unfavorable for frost and conse-
quently favorable for crops. The moist
air does not radiate heat rapidly, and
consequently the danger of freezing Is re-
duced to a minimum There have been no
rains in the valley, and the Sierra Noun
tains had six inches of snow at the sum-
NIT, making total fall of between six
and seven inches. The hills back of
Berkeley were white this morning and the
temperature has fallen all over the State"
The rain which did fall will not have
much effect one way or the other. OF

leased. Meredith was aware of the fact
that the case would come up at That time,
but was not present In the court room
Major Moore was not on very friendly
terms with the chief at the time of the
escape and those friendly to Meredith
claim that the major knew that the Wom-
an would be released and could have pre-
vented it. but refrained from doing so, as
the blame for the escape of the woman
would all fall upon Meredith.
Very little effort was made by Chef
Meredith to locate the missing Suey Wan
until several days after her escape. The
severe criticism the chief received from
the Federal authorities and scathlng ar
ticles in the papers .spurred him to at
tempt to find her. He went to friends and
asked them to help him out of tight
fix At their suggestion he offered re-
ward of 800 for information as TO her
hiding place This offer was made known
to men familiar with Chinatown and
every effort was made by them to secure
the reward. Fong Suey Wan was finally
located in a basement and the tip was
given to Meredith, but when he ar
rived the bird had flown For two weeks
the procuress was moved about from
place to- place The first China steamer
which sailed after her escape took her
back to her home.
Fong Suey Wan did not make the en-

crossed the bar and was safely outside

place at Golden Gate Hall last
evening. The reception was from ev-
cry point of view a most gratifying
success and reflects great credit on
those gentlemen who had it in charge
The hall was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. The foyer was bower
of ferns, while from the ceiling were
suspended red lanterns. These were
hung from suspended coils of white
and red roses. The ballroom where the
festivities of the evening took place
was a dream Of decorative creation.
The orchestra was hidden from sight
on the stage by an immense screen of
tropical plants. Around the sides of
the hall were entwined bright colored
bunting, while from the ceiling was
suspended an immense canopy, from
which hung a number of white doves.
