College Town Authorities Differ on
Propriety of Permitting White
Slave Drama in the City

Because the Berkeley city council,
at the request of Mayor Haywood,
yesterday adopted an emergency or

white slave play, the board of edu-
cation last night adopted resolutions
protesting vigorously against the CEN
sorship and denouncing the councils
action as hasty and i'll advised.
In long resolutions adopted by the
school board a veiled threat is made
to test the legality of the ordinance
in court unless the council rescinds
its action. The mayor declares the
ordinance is legal and the play is OBJ

Chinese Keepers of Place Are
Sent to Island for Depor-

Trapped in stuffy little rooms OF
the Nanking hotel, 1116 Stockton
street, seven Chinese slave girls were
rescued and two slave keepers arrest
ed at midnight last night by immigra-
tion inspectors, assisted by the China
town police squad and Miss Donaldina
Cameron of the Chinese Presbyterian
mission. Among the girls was Lee
Gum, Is year old Chinese. who was
sold by her parents in China and
brought over to this country only a
few months ago.
Heavy resistance was expected by
the midnight raiders. Corporal Brown
of the Chinatown squad stationed his
men in the fire escapes in Portola
alley and on the roof of the building.
Immigra ton Inspector John A Rob-
inson entered the front with his squad
and Miss Cameron was ready for those
who escaped past the immigration
men.
With the channels of escape by the
roof, the usual method of exit during
raids. blocked by the members of the
Chinatown squad, the girls submitted
passively to capture.
Among the girls was Lou vi Vow,
for whom the federal officials have
been watching for Is months. Fifteen
months ago she was captured in Oro-
vile, but succeeded in escaping de-
portation by showing that she was
married to Chinese there and not a
slave girl. She had been sold into
this slave den only a few weeks ago.
This girl, with little Lee Gum, is be-
ing held at the Presbyterian mission
under care of Miss Cameron, and the
other five girls, with the two slave
keepers. were removed this morning
to Angel island to be held for deporta-
tion.
The success of the raid is due to the
careful plans of Captain Frank H
Ainsworth of the immi grafton service,
who discovered the slave den and ar
ranged the raid.

Besides the very conspicuous
lack of any sense of morality.
there are certain other traits of
mind that suggest the typical
intellectual criminal There is
a certain pride in his work and a
very human interest in his pres
ent newspaper publicity. His
own .cleverness or unusual powers
OF intuition are much on his
tongue. He is full of theories
regarding crime and criminals
and detectives, but always with
respect to his own special case.
In 1t all there is the pride and
vanity of the artist who is salts
fed with his work and sees moth
ing to be ashamed of in 1t.
ABSOLUTELY NORMAL
Bastian's motives seem to be
absolutely normal. He wanted
money, he found an easy way to
get 1T. He intended to get rich
and retire. When he had done a
good nights work he felt like
any business man whose business
had been good. His business has
now failed, and for the present he
leeis somewhat relieved of his
business cares
1e mdniIestS no love of excite
ment. According to his own. ac-
count, he had a. perfect sense of
security. He anticipated no trou-
bic. He was sure of himself. and
never thought of preparing a re-
treat. His whole aim was to get
money. for which he had a great
passion. He will not admit that
he ever had any other motive.
burglary was not an amusement,
but business. with him.
MUCH NORMAL, LITTLE UNUSUAL
On the whole, there is a great
deal that is very normal and little
that is unusual about the man
himself. His mind Is the mind of
any unscrupulous business man,
even down to.sthe assertion that
he relies on his own intuitions or
quick judgment in the direction of
his affairs. If he were a business
man he would bore you by talk
ing too much about himself. As
it is, he interests you because he
has done something out of the or

recovered possession of his right
mind. His talk with me did not
confirm this view. Whatever
change of heart he has expe-
rienced has been of very COM
monplace sort, and not unlike the
reformation of the small boy just
before the Sunday school picnic.
There is no very subtle psyche
logical phenomena involved in it
DEPENDED ON INSPIRATION
According to his account, he
never, planned his work before
hand, but depended upon the in
spiration of the moment. He de-
pended a good deal upon the state
of the atmosphere and upon a
sense of his own fitness. If he
was not feeling just right, he
could not force himself to under
take anything. There Is something
of the spirit of the artist, who can
only work while he is in the mood,
but in this there Is nothing mys-
terious.
He claims no sixth sense to
guide him, and he is sure that he
was always master of his own
dCtlOlSs I1t Is VIGIL lnlOTIueu,
cool, alert. a little suspicious, has
lots of common sense and some
humor. He has seen something of
life from the inside-the inside of
bed chambers and bureau drawers
which gives him an advantage
over most of us. He can describe
the clustering head of the house
coming upstairs-very slowly and
with a great deal of unnecessary
noise and calling out. I'm not
afraid of anybody"-in way to
raise a hearty laugh.
las TRAITS OF SOME CRIMINAL.
Bastian has the psychological
traits of certain type of GRIM
inal. The most striking single
thing about him is that there is
not the slightest trace of regret
for his crimes. He is glad to be
freed from the worries and ankle
ties of the past months. and he
thinks he will never go back to
them, but that Is all.
He may say, 1T was mistake"
but he does not say, Il am sorry"
He does not seem to think of Civ
ing back any of the things he
has taken. He even has certain
plans about what he is going to
do with the money he has made.

self and directed by mysterious
processes of intuition.
Bastian himself, however, does
not claim any such powers, but he
is proud of his keen judgment and
of his quick eye and acute ear.
II is true he claims that he has
often located valuables immedi
ately which were hidden in OBJ
scure places, but he has no false
modesty about 1t.
BASTIAN ADMITS INTUITION
He is quite willing to admit
that his intuition in such matters
is really the result of his very
good judgment. He thinks that
his training of the last few years
has greatly improved his judg-
ment and that he will be able
later to make good use of his
experience in other lines of busi-
ness.
He does claim one unusual men,
tai power, and that is a power to
read thought. He is enough Of a
psychologist to know that some
people think a long time before
they act, and he says that he has
often been aware that some per-
son on the lower floor was con-
templating coming upsatirs long
before the person actually moved.
NO CLAIRvOYANT. HE SAYS
1 could not persuade him, how
ever. that he possessed any
power of clairvoyance. His power
to read minds seems to be linn
tied to cases involving his own
personal safety. 1t does not
seem to extend beyond the sense
of danger or awareness that
things are not going just right
which is possessed In some degree
by most persons. I could dis
cover only one other little bit OF
consolation for those who seek
in every unusual mind something
mysterious or occult. and that
was his remark that he had seen
in America many faces which he
had seen in his minds eye in his
childhood days.
