Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 24.-Moy See Chair.
the short-haired merchant of Mott
street who says one Of the two little
girls that ran away from their homes
in Chinatown Wednesday to take refuge
with Miss Mary f. Banta. a missionary,
and told stories of having been bought
as slave girls. is his lawful daughter.
said today that he would probably
lodge a charge OF kidnapping against
Miss Banta.
He would not wait for the examina-
ton of the two girls before Justice
Wyatt in the Chinese court next We'd
nesday. said Moy. but would have the
missionary herself in court before that
time.
Moy has gone about protecting his
rights in thoroughly oriental fashion.
He believes he can prove that You Toy.
who said in her statement to Supt.
Jenkins of the Gerry Society that she
was sold by her grandmother into
bondage to Moy's wife. Is In truth his
second daughter and that her tale OF
being a slave girl was inspired"
He also is confident that he can show
mind OF his daughter as to lead her to
fall into any ready invention that would
favor her desire to be like an American
girl and see something Of the world.
Ching Hing Holds Tight.
Chin Hing. the second Chinaman to
lose a girl, is not quite so advanced a
man as his friend Moy. He has only
talked OF getting q lawyer. but has not
yet begun measures to protect himself
legally against the possible charge that
he Is the owner Of slave or to recover
Choy Fung. the other Of the two
youngsters who took a flight by night.
Chin is SO much a Chinaman that he
prefers to sit tight and await the out
er's activities. Anyway, Chin's position
| is not as strong as that OF Moy. He Is
| only the adopted father, he says. of the
F! yellow butterfly up in the Gerry So
ciety's rooms.
Tolerance has marked the attitude Of
Chinatown toward the mission workers
| up to the present. But from freely
spoken criticism passed by more than
one Chinaman today 1t looks as II the
people Of the quarter would henceforth
draw within their shells when the mis-
| sionaries come around. The Sigel MUIR
| der they lay to the score of missionary
| efforts. Hurt to their business arising
from the incident has been great.
| There Is difference between the lnteres'
Miss Banta showed toward the. two girls
now held by the Gerry Society and incl
dents that occur in San Francisco
Chinatown with great frequency. Most
| of New York's Cinnamon have spent more
| or less time in the big Chinese metropolis
| on the Pacific coast. They are shrewd
enough to note the difference.
Conditions in Frisco.
Out there, before the fire, there used to
| be Methodist mission house just on the
edge of the big Chinese quarter. The
house was filled with determined and
active women.
| Within a few blocks of their place was
an alley over which balconies hung. each
balcony a prison for some painted little
waif, who never knew what 1t was to put
| her feet on the street cobbles. The stairs
| leading up to these balconies were
| streaked with the shadows of Cinnamon
at night. and no white man had access to
them. .
These balconies were the places that
| the determined missionaries raided when
| ever they could gain the connivance OF
| some we'll disposed Ohinaman. They
rescued real slave girls.
Fung Choy and You Toy are not of the
| class Of those bedecked prisoners Of the
| balconies.
| There are no such prisons in New
York's Chinatown.
