TAKE CHINESE
INTO CUSTODY
immigration Inspectors Cap
tlre Six Asiatics Who Had
Crossed the Mexican Line
UNABLE TO GIVE NAMES
Prisoners Will Be Ordered
/. Deported as They Are Not
Legally in This Country

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14.-Six more Chi
nese were brought to the County Jail
this afternoon accused of being in
the United States unlawfully. They
were captured by United States immi-
grafton inspectors late Monday night
while they were in the vicinity OF Otay.
That the Chinese had travelled far
was evident by their condition. All
were tired out when captured. They are
thought to belong TO a large party of
Chinese which have been making Ense-
nada their quarters while waiting for
a favorable opportunity to cross the
line without detection.
None Of those captured were able TO
give their names. They will probably
be arraigned before United States Com
missioner Knoles tomorrow, and as
none Of them have certificates they will
probably be ordered deported. With the
arrival Of the six to-day there are now
twelve Chinese in the County Jail who
have either been ordered deported or
who are awaiting a hearing.
Dick Yip, another Chinese caught
near the boundary some time ago, has
been ordered deported- He had in his
possession a list of twenty other Chi
nese who started with him for this con-
tinent and who had paid a company in
China money TO get them ;nto the
United States. A map was found in his
pocket giving directions for the jour
ney from Ensenada to Tia Juana,
thence by a devious route to this city.

ASIATTC MONROE DOCTRINE
JAPAN'S LONGING HOPE
Rev. W. n. Brewster. Noted Mission
airy, Speaks of Political Condi-
tions in Far East

The probability of an Oriental COM
pact which will create and maintain
an Asiatic Monroe doctrine was one
of the many interesting things heard
by an audience last night at Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church, Twenty
first and Capp streets. by the Rev. w,
\. Brewster of Hing Hua, China.
The Rev. Mr.. Brewster has been
living in China as a missionary for
fifteen years and after a years So
Journ in his native land leaves once
more on Saturday for the Far East TO
renew his work. In giving some as
poets OF the political, industrial and
religious conditions in the Far Fast
he said that Japan is endeavoring TO
form an alliance looking to the indie
pendence of the Asiatic powers. gov
erned by principle similar to the
Monroe doctrine.
When travelling to the United Statas
he learned that an ambassador was
then on his way from Persia to TOXIC
presumably in the interest of creating
a better understanding between Persia
and Japan The Japanese comnis-
sioner TO the st. Louis Worlds Fair
told the Rev. Mr.. Brewster that he
had not the slightest hesitation in
saying that Japan looked toward such
an alliance

MAKES FINE COLLECTION
OF PICTURES OF OLD SHIPS
Secretary Scott OF the Chamber OF
Commerce Exhibits Types Of
Famous Craft.

Secretary Eben Scott has placed on
the walls of the new assembly-room
OF the Chamber of Commerce. in the
Merchants Exchange building. the
most interesting collection of marine
pictures that has ever been seen in
this city. This consists of representa-
uons of great sailing vessels of four
types and indicative of four periods
of maritime history when wind jam
mers" were the monarchs of the seas.
The first of the vessels represented is
the Roscius, one of the old Baltimore
clippers" that were in use early in
the nineteeth century. This was do
mated to the Chamber of Commerce
by the estate of Oliver Eldridge.
The second Is an old Black Ball
liner" such as carried the business
Of the Atlantic Ocean before the ad-
vent of ocean steamships and were
used even after the steamships had
been adopted. This was also given to
the chamber by the Oliver EIdridge
estate. The third ship pictured is the
Flying Cloud, one Of the most famous
of the swift craft that brought the
gold seekers 10 California in the SOS.
The Flying Cloud had the clipper ship
record between New York and San
Francisco. Once the Flying Cloud
made run Of 1850 miles in eighty
nine days. Again the trip was com
pleted In eighty-nine days and nine
teen hours. On one OF these trips the
handsome clipper sailed 3T5 miles in
twenty-four hours. w. c. Gibbs gave
this TO the chamber
The fourth of the interesting series
was given by Captain w. L. Merry,
now United States Minister to Central
American republics. 1t represents
the half clipper" Tornado, which had
good speed. but was more particularly
designed to have carrying CAPACITY
and to be stanch. Since the clipper
ship days have departed and the car
rying trade of the world is destined to
be conducted with steam as a motor
the pictures have great historical
value. They are given a favored po-
sition where the light falls upon them
and where they will be readily seen
by Californians as they sit in council
in the assembly-room

CHIN KIM, YOU'S BOOKS
ARE BARREN OF EVIDENCE
Contain No Proof That Fund was
Raised for Protection of Chi
neSe Gamblers

All yesterday afternoon the Board
of Police Commissioners listened TO
translations of the books taken from
the gaming resort of Chin Kim You
at SO Washington street Those
charging that a corruption fund was
being collected in Chinatown had
hoped that these books would estab-
nsh their claim. but beyond proving
that gambling was carried on at 500
and s201s Washington street thew
tablished nothing.
The books cover a period of year.
some eleven months of which were
covered by injunction prohibiting the
police from interfering. The books.
however, show that gaming was car
ried on at the resort even after the
injunction was raised. They did NOT
contain any evidence in support of the
charge that sum was paid out
weekly to any one for protection, let
alone 10 any specified persons. The
case will be taken up again next Fri
day afternoon.
Judge Cabaniss yesterday ordered
that $666 taken from the place of
Chin Kim You on the night the books
were captured be returned.

smoking, drinking or after eating on

Charcoal efectually clears and i'm
