that there Is a wide difference OF opin-

MYSTERIES OF CHINATOWN


Los Angeles. Cal--Strange and
vierd Is the scene where formerly San
Francisco's Chinatown stood says
W. W. Overton. who reached Los
Angeles among the refugees. NO heap
OF smoking ruins marks the site of
the wooden warrens where the slant
eyed men Of the orient dwelt in thou
sands. The place Is pitted with deep
holes and scared with dark passage
ways from whose depths come smoke
vreaths. All the wood has gone and
the winds are streaking the ashes.
Mer-vhite men-never knew the
depths OF Chinatown's underground
CITY," says Mr.. Overton- They often
talked Of these subterranean runvays.
And many Of them had gone beneath
the street levels. two and three stor-
les But now that Chinatown has
been unmasked. for the destroyed
buildings were only a mask. men from
the hillside have looked on where its
inner secrets lay. In places they can
see passages 100 feet deep.
The fire swept this Monaghan sec
tion clean It left no shred OF the
painted wooden fabric. II ate down
to the bare u ound and this lies stark,
for the breezes have taken away the
light ashes. Joss houses and mission
schools. grocery stores and opium
dens. gambling hells and theatres
all Of them went. The buildings
blazed up like tissue paper lanterns
used to when the guttering candles
touched their sides.
And now there remain only the
holes. These pit the hillisdes like a
multitude OF ground-swallow nests.
They show depths which the police
never knew. The secrets Of those
burrows will never be known"

LAW THAT is BADLY ABUSED
Negro Charged With Crime in COun-
ty He Was Never In. Contract
Law Used for Collecting Debts.

The contract law, which was enact.
ed some years ago, has become one
of the worst abused that was ever
placed on the statute books of Geor"
ola. 1t is being used as an agency
for the collection of debt as much as
it is for the punishment of parties
who defraud their employers.
Last week Sheriff Oxford arrested
Jim Young, a negro, on a warrant
sent to him from Quitman county, the
charge being jumping a contract"
1t has developed that the negro was
never in Quitman county, and the'war-
rant was sued out by citizen OF Quit
man county based on a transaction
that occurred in Dougherty county.
The Quitman citizen advanced Young
some money in Albany, and upon the
latter's failure to "make good" had
him arrested and taken to a county he
was never in. Sheriff Vining came
up from Georgetown Saturday and
carried Young back with him.
The contract law, rightly used, is
one OF the best laws ever enacted by the
general assembly, but there is getting
to be much complaint about parties
who take advantage of it to collect
debts. OF course the arresting officers
are not to blame, as it is their duty to
execute all warrants that are placed
in their hands.
