United States. have taken very nasty
hue to-day. 1t is directly charged by the
high officials of the Treasury Department.
who have charge of the case. that among
those smuggled into this country were a
number of Chinese girls, who were con-
signed to dens of vice in San Francisco TO
be held as slaves for immoral purposes.
The San Francisco brothels have caused
the federal government and Christian So
cieties a great deal of trouble. The
cieties are constantly trying TO rescue
these hapless girls from their owners, and
maintain them in homes where they are
taken when found. The infamy in the Chi
nese quarter is so firmly rooted that IL has
been impossible to eradicate ii. One man
may own large number OF these girls
but they are placed under direct control OF
a large number of old women. Each duenna
has charge of two or three. 1t has been
found very difficult to reach these girls. 1t
has also been found difficult by the mon
sters who have charge of them TO keep up
the supply. They even buy Chinese girl
babies and rear them. The agents of these
men are constantly at work trying to
smusgle girls for these places across the
Mexican and Canadian borders. The gov
ernment is always on the watch for them.
1t is claimed here that direct connection
has been discovered between these agents
and the Arizona corrupt officials. The girls
are reported to be worth $500 in San
Francisco. The agents can pay large
smuggling expenses and still have goodly
sum left for the transportation charges
and profit The secretary of the treasury
continues to claim that, despite denlals.
strong case has been made, and that those
against whom charges have been made Will
be sent 20 prison.
