21.-A romance growing out OF
the illegal sale of opium and the
prosecution and con-
viction of Mrs. Rose Mentor, pro-
prietor of Chinatown drug store,
reached a climax when a marriage
license was granted to Mrs. Men
tor and Fred A. Sutherland of
the State Board of Pharmacy.
Sutherland conducted the re-
cent raids in Chinatown upon vio-
lators of the drug laws, and the
first arrests made in the crusade
were at the store managed by Mrs.
Mentor. The investigator called
in person at the establishment an /
purchased drugs which were not
permitted by law. He caused the
arrest of Mrs. Mentor and her
clerks and in the police cour- the
woman pleaded guilty and paid
$500 fines for herself and clerks.
Immediately romance sprang
up between the valiant crusader
and the victim of his prosecutions,
and after a brief courtship the
couple were married.
