for play with their dollies had hardly
left the fresh young lives. Their child
ish eyes sparkled with brightness and
their young faces flushed with embar-
rassment as they proposed that which
had been taught them by the procuress
who was peddling their souls for dol
lars each night.
Sights Are Soul Sickening
The stranger with a word of kind
ness to each Of them, walked away in
disgust and moment later a half
intoxicated negro, escorted by the Chi
nese cadet, lurched into the yard.
There came the same soft welcome
from the door. A broad streak of light
from the smoking lamp within IL
lumined the yard just a moment as the
negro stumbled up the stairs and with
a hoarse oath rather fell than walked
into the place.
The door closed quickly, and the
watching stranger, with a quick clutch
at his throat as though for air, hurried
away.
Down to Alameda street, across the
railroad tracks and thence to a narrow
dark street, where red lights blazed
from every window, the stranger who
will later tell his friends in the east of
the wonders of Los Angeles trudged.
The liking for this work of sightseeing
had left him sick at heart and soul,
Through a network of small streets and
alleys, where men and women lurched
along, there stopped figures showing

Scenes Are Revolving
The stranger didn't even allow him
self the comfort of a smoke, and he
walked straight for the brewery The
lights of the building were dim and the
stranger passed On.
At Also street he halted, and there,
like a shadow of darkness, the figure of
his guide showed in the dim light of a
street lantern. The hand beckoned. and
unwilling, yet following the call of the
unknown, the stranger followed, fol-
lowed fearing, like the Scroodge of the
Dickens Christmas Carol, that all was
not well.
The figure fitted ahead and the
stranger followed Nearing the cor
ner of Alameda, within sight OF a
closely settled section of the city, the
residences TO the right and left
cleaned with dull lights.

The stranger paused suddenly. From
the left there came the quick litter
of voices. He half turned toward a
low red brick building. The red lights

MEXICAN TOWN IS
AROUSED BY ROW
ENSENADA is STORM CENTER
OF NASTY SCANDAL
All Sorts Of Charges and Counter
Charges Being Made by British
Residents Of the Little
City

Special to The Herald
SAN DIEGO, May 15.--Ensenada in
Lower California, is at present the
storm center Of a political and social
whirl, which has landed British Vice
Consul ]. II. Packard, former man
ager of the Lower California Develop
ment company, and Percy Hodgson
in the cuartel, and has started wave
of indignation against r. MacKinson
Sanders which might have resulted in
a severe handling had he been there
on Monday.
1t is said that the new general man
ager, Sanders had quite hand in the
arrest of Packard, whom he succeeded,
and that he afterwards caused tele-
gram to be sent to the British min
lister at the City Of Mexico announcing
that Packard had been arrested for
robbery and asking that some one else
be appointed vice consul in his stead.
1t is also said that Sanders left En-
senada on the steamer Curacao on Sat-
urday, presumably for Guaymas.
whence he might continue his trip to
the City of Mexico and be there about
the time that the British minister
would be appointing a new vice con-
sui for Ensenada.
Prefer Charges
This afternoon charges were pre-
ferred with the board of directors of
the Cuyamaca club, the leading bus
mess mems club of the city, asking
the expulsion of Sanders on five
charges, one being gross immortality
and another being his treatment of
Packard, who is himself member of
the same club. The Belleview hotel at
Ensenada is said to have been closed
to Sanders before he came up here to
be married to Mrs. Edith Mazda
Sturges on account of his immortality.
The proprietor Of the hotel is alleged
to have wired the facts to the London
office stating that the hotel had been
closed to Sanders and to young
woman who was stopping there at the
same time, because of gross immor-
atty"
Following this he was requested not
to appear at the Mission Episcopal
church, in which he had taken quite
"a prominent part, and when he did
appear the women of the congrega-
tion got up and walked out.
Other Rumors Afloat
There are other rumors connected
with Sanders and the present trouble,
one of which Is that he had or has a
wife in England residing on Highgate
street, London, and that he has writ
ten her since his arrival to take charge
of the affairs of the Lower California
Development company. $3.50
The English Mrs. T. MacKinson San
ders is expected to put in an appear
ance here within week, as it is re-
ported that she sailed from Liverpool
three days after the marriage of San
ders to Mrs Edith Mazda Sturges in
this city. 1t is further asserted that
on account of his previous escapades
at Ensenada the hotel doors were still
closed to Sanders and his bride when
they went south last week. Counter
kilograms have been sent to the Brit
ish representative in the City of Mex
leo, and word has been received from
them that the telegram had been re-
ceived and full investigation would be
made.

Down in the very heart of fair Los
Angeles, wherever the great trains like
desert camels Numbered along the rails
and carried their precious freight of
eastern passengers under the portals of
the city's gates and into the promised
land, there, like creatures of uncanny
dreams, the red lights of the crib dis
trict burned their vicious welcome to all
who would notice
1t was a spot unknown to the police,
a place where, according to the state
ments of Police Captain Broadhead, no
one but an ignorant person could have
found a crib
zone hundred dollars will L give to
the man who finds crib in that neigh
borhood," declared the valiant captain;
'the man who says there are cribs there
is ignorant and I pity him."
The captain was right last night, for
in all that district of residence houses
the tiny sheltering bed of child was
nowhere to be found, but another kind
of a crib was in much evidence.
World Traveller Sees Sights
At the station, from one of these same
trains from the east, Herald reporter
met a friend. He was a man of cul-
ture, a globe trotter, one who had been
to the four corners of the world and
had returned, knowing strange truths
of mankind.
With him the reporter started for the
same district. There would be no mis-
take this time and the reporter would
no longer trust to his own definition of
crib.
Through the business section of the
CITY to First street the little party
marched. To the east and along the
shadow of the great warehouses to
North San Pedro street and there they
halted. Down the street the same lights
blinked and glimmered, the same tinkle
of coarse music chimed with the rasp-
ing of the pool balls as they shot about
the green-topped tables of the pool
halls.
Keep on the opposite side of the
street and loiter along as If you were
strangers seeing the sights" came the
warning from the guide, and he slipped
out of sight, leaving the strangers to
see for themselves.
Loathsome Chinese Master
North on San Pedro. over the same
route, went the party and then went to
Jackson street. 1t was early and the
denizens of the under world were arous-
ing for the work Of the dark.
Like the hyenas of the desert, they
feared the light of the earth's best
friend, feared the soft caress of the
fresh air and waited for night to skulk
from their dens and await victims.
UP and down the streets walked the
sentinels. Overgrown negroes and Chi
nese, lettering at street corners and at
curbings. To one of of the creatures
the stranger spoke
.'Where ketchum, boy?" he said to q
Chinese. Without removing the stub OF
a cigarette from his thin lips the celes-
tial grunted back the number OF cer-
tain crib.
"Ketchum there, young girl, 16 years

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The house
today decided to vest in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia the
power to appoint the board of educa-
tion, having supervision of the schools;

construction of the new buildings not
to exceed three and one-half per cent
of the limit cost of the plant, which is
fixed at two millions.

The house by a decided vote reaf-
firmed its faith i'm the navy depart

tion committee, to limit the repairs on
a ship TO ten per cent of the cost,
the vote of confidence coming after

proposition.
Having reached the section of the
naval bill dealing with increase in the
navy and realizing that considerable
debate must ensue, the house adjourned
