Assimflation L. Swift.
So rapid is the assimilation and ao-
sorption of foreign elements in the United
States that social lines based on descent,
or even on nativity, are rapidly eiimi-
mated. This does not apply. OF course,
to the Oriental races, which are always
clannish. because, as Kipling says, East
is east, and west is west, and ne'er the
twain shall meet" Furthermore, the
Chinese and the Japanese have a venera-
ton for the many centuries Of ancestry

trtation cannot overcome.

of whom are engaged IN the restaurant
business and other kindred lines.
The Greeks of America are dominated
by the organization Of their fellow
in New York, where all the
Greek newspapers and periodicals are
issued, and where all the political move
ments affecting the welfare of their ma
tive land are planned and carried out.
In Washington the largest single group

gladly welcomed, even at this belated
hour Of the season.
The Juvenile Court Of the District has q
record for the Ave years OF its existence
of which any like tribunal in the coun-
try might well be proud. Its books tell
of thousands OF families that have been
reunited, Of myriads Of wayward boys
who have been placed under proper m
fuences, OF hundreds Of drunkards who
have been reformed, Of innumerable out
casts who have been cared for. Of wrongs
which have been righted, and Of thou
sands of dollars which have been re-
ceived by the court clerk from formerly
indolent fathers, to be used for the sup
port of their families. The work Of the
tribunal is twofold-that Of Justice and
charity. Its influences have been far
reaching, and It is impossible to estimate
the good which II has accomplished by
statistics.
1t is on this brilliant record that the
court is basing its request for new
home. 1t realizes that its work is a work
of vast importance, and 1t likewise rec
ognizes the fact that the present facili-
ties are wholly inadequate to meet the
annually increasing demands. The Off
GERS Of the court feel certain that after
Congress has glanced at the report OF
what has actually been done by the trt-
bunal during its short life the appropria-
ton will be granted without delay.
Expenses to BE Reduced.
The court also feels justified In asking
for new quarters on economic principles.
The proposed courthouse will be used not
only for the Juvenile Court but also for
the Municipal Court. With this arrange
ment It is thought the expenses of the
two courts will be reduced considerably.
The Municipal Court is paying 5000
year for the rental of the building 1t is
now occupying, and the Juvenile Court is
spending $240 per annum for rent, the
great difference in rent being due to the
fact that the government owns the Juve-
nile Court property. The proposed build
ing will probably be located in Judiciary
Square, along with the other court build
ings. R ". B.

few strangers have ever penetrated to
the real depths of these remarkable build
ings, and no one really knows how many
opium dens and other adjuncts of a real
Chinatown are in operation there.
One of the leaders of the Chinese in
the city is Yuen Chung, who Is reputed
to be rich, as the result OF a prosperous
business In Chinese earthenware which
he has conducted for nearly twenty
years. Another well-known Chinaman
who manages chop suey restaurant has
also amassed considerable wealth. and is
a power among his countrymen.
Pioneers Came in 1850.
The first group of Chinese came to
Washington about 1880. and they opened
the first Chinese laundry here. For many
years to come practically the only
trade at which the sons Of the Celestial
empire prospered was this business Of
washing linen. although they rapidly
came in demand as servants here and
elsewhere.
Like all the other foreigners In the
city. the Chinese are extremely proud Of
their police record. AS matters stand
now, the Chinese settlements require
practically no policing whatsoever. Dur
ing the time when the excitement over
Leon Ling. the New York Chinaman who
was alleged TO have murdered Elsie
Sigel, was at its height a Washington
detective made a confidential statement
here which was a f1attering tribute to
the Washington sons of the Celestial en-
pire.

The Chinese Empire Reform Associa-

the local Chinese maintain relations with
their brethren in other cities, notably
New York and San Francisco. On sew

American societies for the suppression OF
the opium traffic and other evils Of the
Orient. and many wealthy Americans are
said tobe contributors to its Golfers. There
are other secret organizations which
have branches in this city about which
It is practically impossible to obtain any
information.
