RUEF'S TWO QUESTIONS.

question No. Have you any evidence or
proof whatsoever showing that Mayor Scnmltz.

missioner Reagan, Chief OF Police Whitman and
time received any moneys for protecting gam

has 81 any time or at any place or from any
person whomsoever. directly or indirectiy, re
ceived any moneys or other consideration or wha.-
soever for the protection OF gambling IN China
town as charged by you in the Bulletin!
In answer to these questions, it was
announced after the conclusion OF the
hearing, both Mr.. Older and Mr.. Crotn-
ers testified that the only evidence they
had to substantiate the charges was
that furnished by a reporter to the ef-
feet that the reporter had been told oy
several Cinnamon that fund was be-
ing collected in Chinatown for the pro-
lection of the gambling interests, but
to whom il was being paid the VIII
nesses did not know Crothers ana
older were unwilling to swear that so
far as they knew either Mayor Scnm1tz,
Police Commissioners Drinkhouse or
Reagan or Chief of Police Whitman, or
either of them, had received any OF
these alleged collections and stated that
Il
was based entirely on deduction, on the
fact that money was being collected in
| Chin atown for the purpose of corrupt
! ing officials according TO information
| supplied them by reporter and Attor-
ney Grant Carpenter. who had aided
their reporter in gathering his facts.
ORIENTAL TESTIFIES.
AS soon as Mr. Crothers and Mr.. Older
withdrew a lean Oriental, who gave his
name as Dong Hong Ku, who kept
books at a Washington street gam
bling house, was called to tell what he
knew about the inmates of gam
bling house at 826 Washington street
receiving word that Police Commission
er Hutton was about to visit the place.
He was scattered in his views and was
| not long held on the stand. Another
| Oriental supplied some more misinfor-
nation, and then James j. Scott, Bull
| letln reporter, was called to tell his
| story upon which the charges of cor
ruption were predicated.
Scott told about going to Chinatown
! in search Of gambling, finding Chinese
/ going and coming from $40 Washington
street. and finally finding Police Ser
geant Ellis, whom he asked to accom-
pany him to the place. This Ellis con-
sented to do, but when they arrived at
! the resort it contained nothing but
! eight tables and two sleepy Cinnamon.
Then he searched further and was told
! by several Chinese, whose names he
! gave the commission, that a fund was
| paid weekly to a combination of ORR
entails known as "the eight statesmen" "
who. it was inferred, paid the money
over to the officials for protection.
Continuing. Scott testified that he
did not know to whom the money was
paid; he had received no information

The investigation of the charges that
corruption and crime are rampant in
Chinatown is nearing the end. The
Board of Police Commissioners held a
meeting yesterday afternoon to hear
the evidence of r. A. Crothers and
Fremont Older, who made the charges,
and then, in view of such testimony, to
determine what further action should
be taken.
Crothers and Older insisted that they
give their testimony before the board
In executive session. A few minutes
prior to their arrival, however, Attor-
ney A. Ruef appeared on behalf of him
self and Mayor Schmitz and requested
that the hearing be open. While he
was making his statement the wit
nesses referred to appeared, but seeing
Mr.. Ruef in action they withdrew into
the corridor. After some discussion the
board decided that the wishes of
Messrs. Crothers and Older that their
testimony be given before the board
In executive session should be respect
ed. Then Mr.. Ruef submitted two
questions which he requested the COM
mission to put to the witnesses.
These questions were accompanied by
letter of explanation the most salient
portion of which follows:
The important question in this investigation
IL seems to me is not whether gambling has
been going on in Chinatown or whether the
Chinese gamblers have been paying money to
other Chinese ostenslbly for protection. These
matters were discovered and determined In the
affirmative long ago by Mayor sehmitz In a
full and complete investigation Of the condi-
tions in Chinatown. have been matters of COM
mon information for many years and re
spectfuily suggest that for the purpose or your
investigation II may be assumed that these
conditions do exist.
The important question. the only remaining
question and the question which gave rise 70
this investigation, is whether the fund SO coll
lected is paid over to any person or set OF per-
sons whether in the Police Department or out
of it. for protection. through the Police Depart

Their little songs Of praise,
