DESTRUCTION OF

who reached Los Angeles among the

marks the site of the wooden warrens
where the slant-eyed men formerly
dwelt in thousands. The place Is pit
ted with deep holes and scared with
dark passageways, from whose depths
comes smoke.
"While men never knew the depth
OF the underground city" says Mr..
Overton, /" they often talked Of the
subterranean runways. And many OF
them had gone beneath the street lev
els two and three stories. But now
that Chinatown has been unmarked,

a mask, men from the hillside have
looked on where its inner sections lay.
In places they can see passages 100
feet deep.

grocery stores and opium dens, gamb-

tissue paper lanterns when candles
touched their sides.
''From this place, following the
fire, l saw 500 crazed men fee. In
their arms they bore their opium
pipes, their moneybags, their silks
and their children. Beside them ran
the baggy-trousered women, and some
of them hobbled painfully.
"But these were the men and wom-
en- of the surface. Far beneath the
street levels in those cellars and,pass
ageways were other lives. Women
who never saw the day from their
darkened prison, and blinking jailers
were caught like rats in huge. trap.
Their very bones were eaten by the
flames.
"And now there remain only the
holes. Secrets of these burrows will
never be known, for into them the
hungry fire licked eagerly, eating
everything except the earth ITSELF"
