FATE IS TOYING
WITH WONG SHEE
DEPORTATION SOUGHT BY THE
IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT
Strange Story of Chinese Woman,
Twice Married In This Country,
Who Falls Under the Hand
of Dlind Justice

The fate of little Wong Shee, whom
the immigration inspectors are seeking
to send back to China and separate
from her American home and husband,
was postponed yesterday afternoon
until Friday morning by Judge Well
born in the United States district
court after he had listened to argu-
ments of attorneys on both sides in
her hearing on an application for a
writ of habeas corpus.
Throughout the entire hearing the
former belle of Chinatown sat quietly
in the court, and although she cannot
speak English. displayed the interest
of a child In something which was
going on around her that was meant
for older and wiser heads than her
own. In her hand she held a stick of
gum which her husband, Lew How,
had given her as she passed him on
her way to the federal court room.
and now and then peeped wistfully at
him as he sat, bowed with care.
Marries in Mexico
The story of Wong Shee is a sad
one. She was born in China and came
to America while a mere child at the
death of her father to meet her be-
trothed, 10 Bong, a resident of the
Dos Angeles Chinatown.
They were happily married Septem-
ber II, 1906 in Mexico, and hoping to
found a home under the flag of Uncle
Sam, they crossed the border, only to
have their dream of happiness shat
tered by immigration Inspector Joseph
G. Nardini and his deputies. She was
rearrested less than a month after her
marriage, dragged from the home of
her husband and charged with having
been imported to this country for i'm
moral purposes. In vain did she pro-
test. Her husband died in Sacramento,
where he had gone to raise money.
Prominent merchants in the Los An
geles Chinatown went her bond for
$4,000. She married again. a young
Chinese merchant, Lee How, Septem-
ber IA, 1908. The interest on the
money became a weight on her bonds
men. and they gave her up to Inspector
Nardinf and she was confined to a
cell in the county Jail. Lee How visit
ed her daily, bringing her candies and
flowers, but the captivity wore on her.
Deportation Is Ordered
Finally attorneys obtained for her
a long hearing before the immigration
| inspector and testimony was intro
duced to show that Nardini's charges
were false. This testimony was event
ually sent to washington, but the
hopes of husband and wife were
dashed to pieces by an order from
Washington commanding her to be
deported at once
Her attorneys, M. b. Marble and w.
II. Willis, baked the immigration au-
thorities by filing a petition of habeas
corpus November 70, 1909.

BIDS REJECTED
COMPANIES STAND TOGETHER,
SAYS SUPERVISOR

lection company and the Safe Vault
Protection company for the installation

ty treasurer's office in the new hall of

This action followed the efforts of
the American Safe Protection company,
through Attorney Page, to withdraw a
letter filed by his company with the
board, charging the Safe Vault and
Protection company with an infringe
ment of it's patent. He also said that
neither company would make any profit

were made low for the prestige which
the job would bring them. j. S. easier,
president of the Safe Vault Protection
company. withdrew the bid of his firm,
claiming the bid of the other company
was the lowest submitted.
After considerable wrangling between
representatives of the two companies
and members of the board, Supervisor
Prldham said he didn't think 1t was
right for the bidders to trifle with the
actions of the board, and that the
whole affair looked as though the two
bidders had fixed it."
Communications from several large
concerns in the east were read request
ing that they be sent copies OF the spe-
cifications and be allowed to bid
Among them was one from the Ameri-
can District Telegraph company, offer
ing to install a system free and main
tain 1t for s25 a month.
Upon motion of Supervisor McCabe
all former bids we're rejected. The
mater of advertising for new bids was
taken under adyisement until it can
be ascertained as to the most feasible
way to advertise for them. There was
some dispute as to whether bids for the
doors of the vaults and the system IT.

Although the bid of the California
Portland Cement company for furnish

used in the construction of county
highways was the lowest bid present

supervisors because no certified check
for per cent of the contract price was
sent The bid of the California Port
land Cement company was 50 cents q

remedy that was so effective here de-
serves thorough trial.

from childhood from rheumatism until
it became so severe that he was obliged
to give up work for time. He then
gave DR.. Williams Pink Pills trial and

be miserable Whenever the weather was
