he has the opportunity to do SO before
proper tribunal. 10 make them in public.
Such a man Is more disreputable than any
opium smoker that ever lived"
Mr. Hughes spoke with much feeling
when making this statement and went into
TO find the originator of the story connect
ing him with the Matchmaking OF chinese.
All members OF the committee at The
conclusion of Mr.. Hughes statement as
comrgete innocence and stated that his
testimony was fully corroborated by the
testimony OF the Chinese witnesses and OF
Chief Reed.
Councilman Diiler brought matters to a
focus by calling the attention Of the COM
mittee to the fact that Coombs. the miss
ing witness, seemed impossible to find when
wanted and appeared TO be avoiding at
tending as witness. He moved that the
investigation be closed without his tesi-
mony. Councilman Taylor seconded the
motion.
Chairman McAriie remarked that he was
sorry tos say that Coonbs had not seen mt 10
attend and told the committee that Coonbs
had assured him that the Chinese opium
smokers and gamblers were paying some-
body for immunity for arrest, and had
given him a list OF Chinese lottery CON-
panies.
Chief Reed had his turn next. IAN
would like to say" said he, It's that IL the
Chinese are paying anybody for police
protection they are getting very poor r
four or five times a week and bringing
their tickets. chips and paint pots to he AL
quarters. II this is protection don't rec
ognize IL.
ut may be that some man Is bleeding
the Chinese on some such pretense. put II

This investigation Is a farce and I'd drop
1t right here"
Crichton expressed himself in favor OF
dropping the investigation. He said 1t
seemed probable to him that somebody not
connected with the city government was
bleeding the Chinese occasionally. The
testimony of the Chinese witnesses indi-
Gated that. although they were plainly ly-
ing shamefuly.
Dil,er said that was undoubtedly true:
that IL was Chinese characteristic. He
had had dealings with many Chinese but
had never known one honest enough to
tell the truth at all times.
Chief Reed asked that the report might
exonerate his department AZ well as Mr..
Hughes Chairman McArdle aEented and
then the motion 20 adjourn was put and
carried.
While Lawyer Hughes was on the stand

ante-room 10 be called to the stand took
French leave. The committee had resolv
