TRYING To FIND
GHILO'S PARENTS
Secretary Kane Work
ing on Chinatown
Mystery.

Frank J. Kane, secretary Of the Pacific
Society for the Suppression of Vice, is
trying to solve the mystery surrounding
the parentage Of the child he rescued last
Thursday night from the Chinese Theater
on Washington street. Kane is convinced
that his charge is a white child and that
she fell into the hands Of the Chinese act
ors from whom he took her in an illegal
manner. He has several clews to the
identity Of the little girl, but has not yet
succeeded In locating her parents.
Regarding the child Kane said:
There is no doubt in my mind that the
little girl We rescued last night from the
Chinese Theater is a Caucasian, and / believe
this fact II not the identity Of the child 5
parents. She is not part Chinese. This is quite
conclusive, even though they were trying to
have her wear a queue. Incidents during the
time Of rescue and subsequent events prove
eoncIusively that the little girl was stolen and
In no wise belongs to the Chinese.
Last night when l obtained the child, Nga1
Yon. the woman in whose possession we found
her did not seem particularly concerned over
more for her own part in the play than
any concern over the girls welfare. Chinese
very difficult TO obtain information. but from
the woman last night learned that the little
girl was brought from New York via Portland
to San Francisco.
OF course. she said she was her child From
my past experience that statement is wholly
a fake for the reason that no writ for possess
sion was issued to-day. In every other case
the Chinese are very prompt to take legal
steps for possession where child is of their
own race. 1 do not know the name of the
mother Of the child. but late this evening there
developments in the that may solve
the mysetry. Miss Mackel. who resides on
Harriet street, between Harrison and Bryant,
believes the little girl no other than her sis
ter.
Miss Mackel came TO me just as 1 was leav-
ing my office to-day and asserted this fact.
She convinced IL her sister from
description and pheto and tomorrow will see
the child. She stated to me that some three
years ago her stepfather took her little sis
ter away from their home in California going
East. Subsequently they located him in Port
land. but have never been able 10 get a trace
Of the missing sister We have several parties
working this case and / think eventually
We viii find the parents of this child, even
though il does not prove to be little Miss
MaekeL II is a white child though. and no
mistake.
SECRETARY Kane took the little waif from
the matron's room at the City Prison
yesterday morning and placed her in a
comfortable home, where she will be
cared for until the mystery of her parent
age is cleared up

NEW ORLEANS SWINDLE
Clarence Rein Talks Freely of How
He and His Confederate
Worked.

Clarence Rein. the young man who was
arrested Thursday night by Detectives
Dinan and Mulcahy on a dispatch from
Chief Of Police Journee Of New Orleans

his downfall and said he was glad that
his suspense was nearly over.

Fruit Dispatch Company at New Orleans,
and he had for an accOmplice Andrew
Hauser, a collector for the Western I'm
ion Telegraph Company, who is now
awaiting trial. They operated with mon
ey orders of the fruit company, their
method being TO raise the transfers OF
cash so that they could deliver the sum
sent to the Office TO which 1t was con-
signed and retain handsome margin
Rein said the profits amounted to about
$500 per week, which he and Hauser d.
vided The fraud had been going on for
about eighteen months before being dis
covered.
Both fed from New Orleans, Rein go
ing to Chicago, thence TO New York and
returning to New Orleans. where he made
a confession which led TO Hauser's ar

DENIAL OF CHINESE
CONSUL CoNTRADICTED
Elireal Says That His Published
Explanation Is More Diplomatic
Than Truthful

The Chinese Bureau denies the truth of
the statement made by Acting Chinese
Consul Chow Yo Kwon that the bureau
refused to accept Chinese bondsmen as
security for the safekeeping of Wong
Kun Po, the sick Chinese, who was re-
moved last Wednesday night from the
detention shed to the Chinese Hospital
The law requires a bond of $1,000 secured
by real estate, and neither the Chinese
Consul nor any one else offered any Sc
curity of that kind, says Inspector BAR
bour. The patient, who was suffering
from a bad attack Of pleurisy, was taken
charge of by the steamship company.
Wong arrived on the Peru in transit to
Mexico.
Chinese Consul Ho Vow recently went
on the bonds Of two Chinese students who
had failed to bring with them the neces-
sary papers. The students escaped into
Canada and Ho Vows bond was found
TO he worthless. there being no real es-
tate security.

pears that they had a secret code of sig
nails which they were to use. The dead
robber, in coming around the train, did
not give the signal and was shot by one of
the other robbers. After the safe had
been blown open and the robbers un-
hitched the engine they put the wounded
man on board. One of the party said to
him: "Can you talk yet?" He replied:
"Yes," whereupon one of his companions
shot him through the head, killing him
instantly. They then had discussion as
to how to dispose of the body, and finally
decided to throw it out of the engine cab.
They then abandoned the engine, got into
the skiff, went across the river, buried
the money and sunk the boat. Several
half dollars which fell from the pile of
$500 they secured were found in the sand.

vicious left jabs and had Sullivan worried
for a time.

pOnent severely in the numerous mix-ups.
In the last round both men went 10 Il
