MAIL NOT
FAIR TO IMMIGRANTS
Chinese Sheds at Docks made
quate and Insanitary, Says
Government Expert


The Pacihc Mail company is not
dealing fairly with the United States
governmen. no4~vitlt Chinese imnni-
grants said F. Watts Jr.. attorney for
the immigration bureau of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. yester-
day. Watts recently arrived in the
city and took apartments at the st.
Francis. He has been sent here for the
expressed purpose of investigating the
treatment which the Pacific Mail gives
the Chinese and the care which it ex-
ercises in guarding the undesirable ap-
plicants for residence in this country.
THE accommodations which the COM
pany furnishes at the Mail dock are
not adequate" said Watts. The con-
ditions are insanitary. The sheds have
been built to accommodate 200. and
sometimes there are from $50 to 400
Chinese under detention there What
the government expects and demands
of the steamship company is honest
and decent treatment for itself and
for the Chinese. and it is felt that that
has not been accorded. 1t is presumed
that the Pacific Mail company is
anxious to have the United States open
the detention sheds on Angel island
because General Manager Schwerin
has failed to make required reports on
local orditions to the government.
The company takes money from the
Chinese and should treat them prop
eriy.''
Watts was sent out here to investi-
gate the Pacific Mail detention sheds
after the government had failed to
prove in court that the steamship COM
pany had not exerted proper care in
watching Chinese who subsequently
escaped from the docks. While here
he viii instruct the local agents Of
the department of commerce and labor
in the proper performance of their
duties.
Watts said sthat,more than the usual
number OF Chinese are coming into
this country now.
Commissioner General of Immigra-
tion Keefeswill arrive in San Fran
cisco on a tour of inspection the latter

Hawkins Sounds Alarm

Grover Hawkins. one of the park en-
ployes, discovered about 8 o'clock in
the morning that so specimens of as
fine elk as can be found in America
were breathing the air of freedom.
Hawkins gave the alarm. Quickly
the clan McLaren, employees of the
park, hastened to join in the morning
sport. The blast OF the hunters horn,
supplemented by a police whistle,
echoed sweetly through the fresh,
sunny glades and along the park high
ways. There soon gathered goodly
group of horsemen, and the herd was
surrounded. Most of the elk stayed
near their home. the paddock, and were
easily lured back into the confines.
Leland the deer man, had only to
shake oats under the muzzles of the
gentle ones and they scampered back
into the paddock.

Rowboat Capsized


the family had arisen.
Rowboat Capsized
As usual she took her shepherd dog
Squire with her in the light skiff and
was enjoying the row immensely when
the 6:45 ferryboat from San Francisco
approached the Sausalito landing. The
waves caused by the ferry rocked the
light : craft occupied by the girl
to an alarming degree. exciting both
Miss Sheldon and the dog. In her
efforts to prevent the animal from
leaping overheard Miss Sheldon leaned
too heavily upon the gunwale, and the
boat capsized., When she arose to the
surface the4 girl grasped the edge
of the upturned boat and called
for assistance But the day was not
yet far enough advanced for any one
to be on that part of the shore, and
her cries went unheeded.
Ties Ribbon to Dog
Knowing that she could not remain
long in the chilly water, she looked
about her for some means of reaching
the land. Her dog Squire was swim
tress, 10th to leave her in her danger
Gus position. Sight of him gave the
plucky girl a fortunate idea, and call
ing the animal to her side she sue
ceeded in tying bit of ribbon from
her hair to his collar.
el.o =
sternly, and although the loyal dog
would not obey at first he finally
turned his head toward the shore.
The intelligent dog went direct to
the home of Mrs. Taylor on the hill
overlooking the bay.
Newton Faucet, a mining man of
Reno, and intimate friend of the fam
lily. had just gone out on the veranda
to admire the view. He was consider
ably puzzled at the strange antics
OF the dog, which was wet and drip
ping from his swim.
Animal Summons Help
The shepherd barked frantically, and
after running a short distance down
the path to the shore would return and
seem to beg Faucet to follow. Finally
Faucet noticed the ribbon on the dogs
collar, and knowing it was Miss Shell
don,s habit to take an early row in
the bay. he accompanied the excited
dog to the beach.
Miss sheldon had been anxiously
waiting, and when she saw her dog
returning with a man she renewed her
calls for help. Faucet procured
small boat and went to her assistance.
Although numb from the cold, the
young woman reached the shore suf-
fering no serious effects from her ex-
perience
