After the worst was over few
of the hopheads drifted back-to the

What became of the derelicts that
irifted about on the human tide that
sbbed and flowed through Chinatown
and swirled along Barbary Coast, de.
votees to tho extract of the poppy and
hemp. opium smokers and morphine
and cocaine fends. classified by the
4 npolice under the general term "hop.
yheads''f There were more than 1000
u Nof them in the districts named in the
Yearly part Of last monitor was it
iast year or ten years ago' Where
|.it did they 60, or did they go' 1t is
known that many of them left the
mrclty, but 1t is possible that some are
there yet--that will be known when
hplSthe debris-flled cellars are cleaned.
The police say that up to within a
leohfow months before April 18th there
wers at least 500 domiciles in the old
giMrB Baltimore House, eooped four or five
or more in a room, from where they
would forage for few dimes with
which to buy "smokes.'' This money
|ay tfhey would either beg or borrow or
acquire by sneak-thievery, shopliftng
|enu or filching junk None had the
nerye for burglary or footpad work.
bmm Their nearest attempt to robbery was
TO follow drunken man until in a
stupor in some alley or stairway
Continued raids on the part of the
police eventually drove them from the
Baltimore House, and they joined the
. others of their kind that skulked along
the shadows of Chinatown after the
v'lanterns were lighted. Gaunt, emacL-
ated, hollow-eyed and sallow-faced,
they skunk along the walls, heads down
and shoulders "hunehed,' glancing
hcH furtively from side to side. They had
"a caste, too, but it was never heard of
save when those dregs of society were
|--stirred by police club. The users of
\ NJ morphine and the smokers of opium
a II would not associate, would not "mix, {"
Il. and neither would recognize the user
|Nl of cocaine nor admit that he had any
Nv rights they were bound to respect
r Tho intrusion by one caste on an
II other was occasionally the cause Of
puny fights that were more noise than
anything else.
Afte rtheir expulsion from the Balti-
more the smokers found quarters in st.
I" Mary's Alley and along Stockton and
|Nn Pacific streets, on the fringe of China
a< town. Few lived along Barbary Coast,
HI the life was too strenuous and they
veyaged there only after the lights had
l. dimmed and jewellers had reached an
n. advanced stage of intoxication. Then
