Blow to the Strikers.
In no case were any of the arrests !
resisted, the sudden appearance of the
officers, swoopng down in a big red
auto, and the promptness with which i
they went about their business taking
the breath away from the hundreds of
strikers and their sympathizers in the
neighborhood Maxine was the first
upon whom the High Sheriff laid the
hand of the law. The auto with the
officers called at his drug store on Hotel
street and made inquiries for him. The
clerks promptly no saveyed as to Ma
liino's whereabouts, but one of them
dashed to the telephone and carried on
a rapid conversation in Japanese, send
ing a warning to Maxine that the Of
ficers were after him. Chester Doyle,
who speaks Japanese, listened blandly
to the warning, which told him exactly
what he wanted to know and where to
go. Maxine made no resistance, merely
/
perience in being arrested. Negoro was
with Maxine and was bagged at the
same time.
A call was then made on the editorial
rooms of the Jill, where Editor Sega
; was arrested. He was informed that
} the officers also wanted his pressman,
associate editors and several Others
from the office. He asked as a favor
| h
half past FIVE, by which time his paper
: for the day would be off the press.
S This request was agreed to, Sega prom
Using that the men would be on hand
when wanted.
The three were taken over to the
Jail and introduced to their cells.
The arrests of the rest of the Ji
staff came promptly on time, the event
attracting a great crowd on Hotel
0 street. in front of the Office. There
n was some murmuring among the strik-
e ers pressed closely about the automo-
= bile. but no hand was lifted to prevent
the men from being hurried off.
l. The news of these arrests spread
t throughout Chinatown like wildfire and
!. when the High Sheriff's posse reached
!, the Yamashiro hotel and inquired for
u Yamashiro there was much excitement.
$ Fully a thousand japanese gathered in
front of the hotel while the officers,
d accompanied by a representative of the
!, Advertiser, searched the place Tor their
- man. Inquiry at first as to his where
: abouts, from the clerk in the little Of
g fee. brought forth a denial that the
!. proprietor was anywhere around and
60 no hint of his hiding place could be
: secured. The party began to look

their heels. Finally Doyle dived into
n closet off the kitchen and here Yama'

Having completed the arresting part

= posse then drove to the Attorney Gen

habeas corpus matter.
