psrently unearthed in the Office OF

aud for complete expose and the
punishment CT every guilty man,
should it be developed that officials
have in the past accepted brides for
countenanciDg or protecting gamble
institutions. At present the matter is
10 its infancy so to speak. The state
ments alleged to have bsen made by
Tong Kai, through interpreter John
