Slave Traffic

Young Lee, an aged Chinese found
guilty Thursday of importing Low
Qu1, Chinese maiden. for immoral II
purposes, was sentenced TO imprison-
ment for two years and fine of $500
by United States District Judge Van
Fleet yesterday. Sentence was pro-
nounced despite the statement by the
court that considerable doubt" con-
corning the guilt of the Celestial
might arise in his mind were the case
to be passed upon by him and not by
the jury.
1T would not have surprised me-"
his honor stated before passing SEN
tence. If the jury had brought in a
verdict of not guilty. In some re-
spects the evidence was not conclusive.
and had the case been that of a eau
casian the verdict might have been
different. 1t is difficult. at the best,
for us to penetrate and understand
the thoughts and impulses of the Chi
nese, curtained off as these alien people
are, from the range of our understand
ing of customs and Ideals"
Giving ear to the showing made by
Attorney Sydney Peixotto that Young
Lee had spent seven months in Jail
awaiting trial. Judge Van Fleet made
the sentence light.
Attorney Carroll Cook declared his
intention yesterday of testing the con-
stitutionality of the regulation of the
exclusion law, which permits the search
for and seizure of Chinese women
found leading immoral lives after they
have been brought to this country as
wives of returning merchants

HOURLY RECESSES
FOR THE PUPILS
Innovation May Be introduced
in the Public Schools of
Alameda City

ALAMEDA, Aug. 19-School Super
intendent Will c. Wood and the mem
bers of the board of education have
under consideration a plan of enact
ing rule that recesses shall be held
in the public schools every hour.
At present there is a recess held in
the morning and another in the after
noon, each of 25 minutes duration. The
proposed plan is to have a, recess of
10 minutes in every school hour.
According to those who favor the
hourly recess schedule it permits pu-
pills to breathe the outdoor air and
exercise oftener than the present ar
rangement, and from a health stand
point has many merits.

Outing Seekers Returning

ALAMEDA, Aug. 19.-The number of
vacant houses in the city is decreas
ing steadily, the realty agents say.
This is due in a measure to the return
to town of many Alamedans who have
been sojourning in the country during
the vacation season and to the influx Of
new residents. The demand for mod
ern dwellings to rent is constant and
becoming more brisk.
The rule recently made by the mem
bers of the Alameda real estate ex-
change to remove to rent and for sale
signs from property has had a good
effect, the real estate agents say, par
ticularly with prospective buyers.
The prevalence of signs was found
in some instances to deter prospective
investors from purchasing. The agents
now keep an account of the properties
they have for sale and for rent and
furnish the list to an exchange circu-
lar that is printed for the use of the
members of the agents organization.
The two story business block being
erected by the Alameda savings bank is
nearing completion. The entire lower
floor of the structure has been Leased
