H|GHbIND[RS PLAN
To LEVY TRIBUTE.
Hatchetmen Evolve Scheme
to Blackmail the Whites
as Well as the Chinese
MERCHANTS AFRAID

Is Chinatown still to be In the grip
Of the highbinder?
This is feared by all the better class
Of Chinese merchants, who say that
the wary highbinder is planning to
take possession of Chinatown and levy
blackmail on white property. owner and
Chinese tenant with equal impartial
ity.
1t was thought that when the fire
came the highbinder had fed to pas
lures new. This, however, does not
aprove to be the case. and the high
binder is still in evidence-that is, If
the Chinese merchants are TO be be-
lieved
The Chinese merchants are in great
state of perturbation and prophesy all
manner of evil for Chinatown In the
days that are to come If some step is
not taken by white property owners to
ascertain the character of the Chinese
who desire to make lease
A Chinese merchant who is afraid
to give his name, for fear that he will
incur the wrath of the hatchet men.
takes a most gloomy view or the sit
uation.
"I tell YOU" he said. "highbinders
are leasing all the choice property in
Chinatown. and one day there will be
lots of trouble. This is what they will
do: They will lease a building and will
put up cash bond for the perform
ance of their contract. Then when
they are in possession they will start
tn do all kinds of things, and the white
man will get mad and try to put them
out OF course, the highbinder will 60.
That is exactly what he wants. He
will let his cash bond go, but he will
hold on to his lease. He will make no
trouble until respectable merchant
leases the property. Then that viii be
his time. He will go to the merchant
and say to him: You will have to pay
rent to me. I hold the lease
IF the merchant dares to cross him
you know as well as I do what would
happen. The first thing the merchant
will do is to go to the white man and
say: I cannot afford to pay the high
binders and you rent. I will have to
throw up my lease
What is the result? The building
will stand idle until the white man has
to buy off the highbinder, and SO the
white property owners ought to be
careful with whom they are making
leases. or the first thing they know is
that they will be in the clutch of the
highbinder and will assuredly have to
buy off their men or their buildings
Will be tenantless."

is the way Gauld describes the incident
in his letter to the police:
August IA last my wife was unfor-
tunate enough to go bathing alone in
Fosters Creek, Larkspur, Marin
County, and then and there She was
shamefully insulted by two young hood
lums named Honigsburg, who were
aided and abetted by Policeman Suli-
van
In the evening of August IA sent
polite and gentlemanly request to
Sullivan to call at my cottage, my in
tention being to ask why a policeman
and a neighbor should stand by and see
my wife abused.
ION Wednesday, August Is. some
time after noon, Sullivan returned from
his work in San Francisco under the
influence of liquor, or to be more plain,
he had a fighting jag. Fe came to the
blacksmith shop where I was at work,
called me vile names, said my wife was
no lady, invited me to fight with fists,
knives or guns, threatened to annihi-
late me, and made other dangerous
demonstrations with billy and a re-
volver.
After giving vent 10 his whisky
courage he left and went to the resort
of the ex-Smiling Merzner, where he
invited a coterie of his drunken friends
to come over to the blacksmith shop
and see him shoot me.
The spectacle of San Francisco
police officer drunk, with his handcuffs
hanging out of one pocket and a billy
hanging out of another, is enough to
disgust even the quiet residents of
Larkspur, who have no police depart
ment and do not require one"

TO BLOCK SEIZURE
Of LIBRARY LOT.
Trustees Direct Committee
to Institute Injunction
Against the Supervisors
WILL FIGHT. SCHEME

The Board of Trustees of the Public
Library held a meeting on Friday aft
ernoon at Calvary Presbyterian Church
for the purpose of outlining the method
of procedure in resisting the seizure
by the Board of Supervisors of the
Public Library site on Western Addi-
tion block No. 73 for the erection of a
temporary City Hall thereon.
The matter was discussed in all of
it's bearings and 1T was the unanimous
opinion of the Trustees that Injunction
proceedings should be commenced to
prevent the Supervisors from illegally
diverting the library site from the pur-
pose for which 1t was set aside by di-
rect provision of the bond issue.
It was finally decided to refer the
entire matter to the committee on mu-
nicipal relations of the Library Trus-
tees. The committee will have full
power to act. but it is understood that
the desires of the board as to fighting
the scheme to erect the City Hall on
the library site will be carried out to
the bitter end.
The committee consists of ]. D. Phe.
Ian. John H. Wise and E. R. Lilienthal
and it proposes to watch the next move
Of the Board Of Supervisors with a view
to circumventing the plan.
The Board of Works is now preparing
plans for the City Hall and the pro-
ceedings on both sides will soon as
sumo tangible shape.

CROWDS FLOCK TO
SEE THE CIRCUS.

The circus came to town yesterday
and all San Francisco was happy.
Every man, woman and child did his
or her best to make the trip to the
big tent at Eighteenth and Dolores
streets. That the efforts of great
many of them were successful is at
tested by the immense crowd that over
flowed the gigantic space covered by
the canvas.
1t is several years since the great
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers show
has visited San Francisco. The per-
formances given at the last visit were
remembered, and this in measure was
responsible for at least a portion of
the big crowd that turned out yester-
day.
The circus is better, If anything,
than when last seen here. 1t certainly
is much larger. On the programme is
q variety of acts that is bound to
there never was a circus that carded
such varied list of events as that
which the crowd had the pleasure of
enjoying yesterday.
Among the attractions are the
Fighting the Flames" act and the
wonderful bicycle ride and leap for
life performed by Salvo Both these
stunts took the multitude by storm.
The flame lighting scene is truly a
realistic spectacle, one worth going
miles to witness. When the fire alarm
is turned in real fire engines, hook and
ladders, hose carts and the other con-
trivances that are always to be found
where the flames are raging are
brought into use. To cap the climax
there are life saving acts and leaps
from the top of a building that look
very natural.
Salvo rides down steep incline on
his bicycle, loops gap and then makes
q leap for life and manages to catch
a swinging bar more than twenty feet
from the ground. This act is per-
formed SO quickly and with so much
dexterity that it takes the spectator
by surprise and before he can realize
what has happened it is all over.
The balance of the show is high
grade in every respect. A bunch of
funny clowns are performing all the
time, while the acrobats, tumblers and
horsemen do the usual daring feats
that always come in for their rounds
of applause.
The show was preceded by a street
parade yesterday morning and while
it was in progress traffic on the streets
was at standstill. The show will re-
main here two days longer so that
everyone in the city will have chance
to attend

Serious charges have been preferred
against Policeman Arthur Sullivan, the
youngest member OF. the Police Depart
ment, for his alleged misconduct at
Larkspur, Marin County, on August IA,
when he is said to have roughly in
suited Mrs. George G. Gauld, a neigh
Dor with whom he was bathing in
Foster Creek. Mrs. Gauld asserts that
the muscular young officer was not
satisfied with "ducking' her repeatedly.
but pelted her with mud balls. AS soon
as Mrs. Gauld could get away from Sui
liVan she reported the occurrence to
her husband, who undertook to call
Sullivan to account, but Sullivan did not
accept the rebuke in good part and re-
piled by abusing Gauld and threaten
ing to shoot him.
Although the alleged offense was
committed while Sullivan was off duty,
Gauld. after consulting with Chief Di-
nan, has made formal charges against
the policeman. Mn Gauld will tell the
Commissioners of her unfortunate ex-
perience when Captain Colby has the
young man arraigned for trial.
I'VE went over to Larkspur, says
Mrs. Gauld, after the fire, for little
outing. Mr.. Gauld had rented a cot
ta ge in Mariposa Grove some months be-
fore, and we expected to spend pleas
ant summer. In the same grove there
are other cottages, and we tried to be
pleasant to our neighbors. Sullivan,
who had recently married. was found
10 be pleasant and agreeable until the
day he insulted me. ! was in the water
when he came to the creek. 1 am quite
sure that he was not drunk, as he used
no abusive language. There were a
number. of others in the water. and one
young girl, who lived at Sullivan's S
house, protested against the way he
treated me.
When my husband learned of the
occurrence he wrote note to Sullivan
asking him to call in the evening, as
he desired an explanation. Sullivan
made no response, but the next day,
after returning from San Francisco in
a drunken condition, he abused my
husband outrageously and threatened
to kill him"
In his complaint to Captain Colby
Gauld tells of the experience of his
wife In the creek at the same time
there we're two young men named
Honigsburg, who began the attack
upon Mrs. Gauld. Sullivan seems to
have Joined these young men in their
aquatic pleasantries and carried them
to an offensive degree. Mrs. Gauld says
that she was held under the water
until she was almost unconscious. This
