GUIDES GRAFT
IN CHINATOWN

Police Board Forbids Plotting
of Sightseers Through
Vile Dens
Chief Declares Tourists Are
HELD Up and Taken Into
Low Resorts

Beginning today no licensed guide
will be permitted to accompany tour
lists or sightseers through Chinatown.
the Barbary coast. or any part of the
territory bounded on the south by Cali
fornia street, on the east by Battery.
on the north by Broadway and on the
west by Stockton streets.
This blow to the grafters' holdup of
the unwary stranger was delivered by
the board of police commissioners at
its regular meeting Iastn light. The
action of the board followed an in
vestigation and report made by Chief
of Police Seymour, in which it was
stated that the guides were nightly
conducting people through the rotten
and indecent places in San Francisco
and that frequently respectable young
women were piloted into dives without
being told where they were going or
what they would see.
The chief further reported that the
guides had their routes so laid out
that the stranger was compelled TO
part with his money coming and going
or else be called Cheap The more
representative places in Chinatown
were passed up it was learned. for
opium joints and places repulsive to
the average tourist or stranger. In
closing his report Chief Seymour said
the whole game was nothing but graft.
After an armful of petitions had
been submitted to the board protesting
against and favoring the application of
Jacob Wheatfield to establish a whole
sale and retail liquor house at -749
Market street the board voted not TO
grant the license.
The Downtown association presented
in its protest the Endorsement of the
property owners representing 500 feet
out of the S25 feet comprising the
block. Several that had previously ia
vored keeping the saloon out could
not be seen.
On the other hand Wheatfeld handed
in long list of signatures, many of
the petitioners being members of the
Royal Arch in various sections of the
city. Wheatf1eld said the Market street
block had a few nickelodeons. fish and
oyster houses and he wanted to give
it first rate liquor house.
Commissioner Sullivan voted for and
Commissioners Spiro. Henderson and
OConnen again. Chief Seymour was
not present.
