NEMESIS PERSISTS

OAKLAND, Jan. 3O.-John Ampuero,

with Ampuero as her lawful spouse.
despite the fact that there is a wife
NO. concerned. Mrs. Jacobson's pur-
suit has been over a stony path, lead
Ing several times into the arms of the

BERKELEY, Jan. 30.-Sensational
allegations regarding the prevalence
of gambling in Berkeley, involv-
ing the office of Marshal Kerns,
are contained in a report made to JUS
tice Edgar to-day by T. Y. Chang, a
Chinese student of the University of
California. Chang discovered ten days
ago that the Chinese gamblers who
have been under cover in San Fran
cisco had crossed the bay, some coming
to Alameda and some to Berkeley. He
decided to investigate a la Parkhurst,
and alone made tour of the gambling
houses in Berkeley last Saturday
night.
Chang reports that two fantan
games were found by him, each run
ming in full blast, with from ten to
twenty players at each game. He en-
tered the gambling houses, which are
situated on Dwight way, between Full
ton street and Shattuck avenue, with
out molestation, and for thirty min
utes watched the Orientals gathered
around the gambling board engage in
the fascinating game that the law for
bids to be played
In the course of his Investigations
Chang learned that the Chinese have
assured themselves that police inter
ference need not be expected. They
say the authorities have been taken
care of" in the manner customary with
those seeking to procure immunity
from arrest. The student says he was
informed by Chinese whose name he
does not know that Marshal Kerns has
been paid 500 week to leave the gam
bling games alone.
MARSHAL DENIES CHARGE.
This report is denounced by Marshal
kerns as "the widest, weirdest lie that
ever came from the lips of a white or
yellow man. Kerns is indignant that
In any way his name should be used by
gossiping Chinese and declares that he
Will see that the gamblers get all the
protection they have paid for, ex-
planning that tonight deputy marshals
will be stationed at the doors of
the resorts visited by the young uni
versity student and that fantan games
in those places will be wiped complete
ly out.
Marshal kerns hints that his political
enemies have induced or inspired the
Chinese student to stir up the matter
and visit the gambling dens, expecting
to use the result in the coming political
fight in Berkeley; in which the mar
chdi OlllCc Is one OI the pluIlS TO De
fought for.
II have a small force with which to
keep the peace in Berkeley, and yet I
think my record is an honorable one,
and that the department Is efficient"
said Kerns to-day. "If there has been
fantan playing, it was done without
my knowledge, of course Wherever I
hear OF such work, you may be certain
that will suppress it instantly. The
talk of my receiving money from Chin
ese for protection is absolutely foolish
and untrue"
Chang, who is a freshman student in
the college of agriculture, says he was
not induced by any person to make his
investigations. He had heard of the
fantan gambling and to satisfy his
own curiosity decided to see what was
being done by his speculative country
men. Chang is about % years old and
has been in California twenty years.
He is intelligent. speaks English well

ed a great disturbance Saturday night
at his place of employment because he
refused to accede to her demands for
