WHERE DREAMS ARE SOLD. Dens of Drug Degradation Discovered. Places Where Whites Are Al lowed to Smoke Opium. The Result of a Recent Tonr of the Chinese Quarter. Utile Trouble Experienced In Baying th« Roddenlng Drag]—Tha Recep tion a Reporter and Hia Com panion Mat With. Little thought does the average par ton give to the causes ol tbe labor dis turbances now existing on the Pacific coast. Wert yon to ask the primary oause, you would unhesitatingly be answered, Chinese immigration. The coming of tbe Celestials from the Flowery Kingdom has opened "the gate to a thousand sorrows," and that's why Los Angeles today permits one of tbe vilest districts and most sinful China- towns on the coast. - To tha visitor walking along North Alameda, Marchessault or Apablasa streets, the old ' rickety buildings seem to never impress him as being partic ularly dangerous except that they are fire-traps of tbe most dangeroue type, To one familiar with that part of the city it is a aouroe of disguest and grave apprehension, for the reeking, ill-smell ing opium "joints" are unexcelled in tbls country. « The "joint" at 314 Apablasa street. Here tbe "dope fiend" findi time to. while away in ''bitting the pipe" to hia heart's content. Men, and even women —none of whom are worthy the name spend hour after boor in visiting these dens of iniquitous surroundings. Since the wholesale arrest of Chinese opium dealers and some white persons some years ago, it has been supposed that a check bad been pnt npon ihe joints. Tbe assumption was partly cor rect. Contrary to general belief, the police have known that the Chinese still dis pense the deadly stuff to the degraded white persons, but the trick is to catch the law-breakers. Last evening a Herald reporter, in company with the Herald artist and a habitue of Chinatown, visited nearly every opium den in the vicinity, with the result that It was fonnd the drug is being sold almost openly in any quantity. The first place visited was that of Kld Lee, a large dealer In the drug. The ex perience gained here was disoonraging. Kip Lee conld not be induced to give "Melican man" any of the stuff. He became abusive, and ordered the visit ors from hia place. He sells large quan tities of opium, bnt as far as could be learned none bnt Chinese smoke in bis den. In the interior of the room there are banks on either side, upon which were stretched at least a dozen pale, death-like forms. They were smoking with a vengeance, and tbe sickening ewest odor was stifling. On entering the den at 314 Apablasa street, the guide, who speaks the Chi nese language fluently, said: "Gim me ten sen pin yen." The proprietor lay on his bank behind the counter carelessly puffing away at Card and opium purchased by the reporter. the nauseuß pipe. He hardly stirred wnen the visitor entered, but after a few explanatory words from the .aide made a motion aa if to hand the drug out. Suddenly he stopped: he "smelled a mouse," and the guide and bis oom pßnons ' fere again unsuccessful. ™r. T, hit . e f P' er «on 'lowed smoke am; police allest," was all he would say to the reporter, bat be explained tbe cir cumstances to the guide. Ha aaid that onaocount of the visitors being Strang era, he oould not trust them in bis bouse. He had white visitors there regnlarly who used the drug, but they had been around so long he bad learned to shield them. Coming to the first cross street, one block from Alameda, between Marches sault and Apablasa, an old dingy-look ing two-story honse was encountered. "Tbere," said the guide, "that is tbe place where the lowest of tbe 'dope fiends' go. This class does not enter any of tbe dans we have passed—none but the degraded visit this place." A long, dark alley extended between the gloomy-looking old shanties. A faint light wat seen through the tran som and inside were a jabbering set of Mongolians. "Here's our game," whispered the guide, as he pushed open the door lead ing into the dingy, foul-smelling quar ters. After the usual request for the drug wat made, tbe visitors pushed baok a small curtain and more folly explained tbat they wanted to smoke. "Blng goye shin goe san ah pin yen," muttered tbt Chinaman to one of his yellow-mouthed countrymen. The guide pushed tbe 10 cents through a small window and out came tbe "dope." Kip Lee* ill-smelling den. It was placed upon a playing card, and was very black and thick. "Now we will proceed to smoke," said tbe guide, as we passed to tbe rear Of the "joint." The trio entered a small room, where a complete lay-oat for smoking was ready for use. The Chinaman was in structed to tightly bar the door so that no policeman might suddenly make a raid upon the smokers. "In 15 minutes." said the guide, "we will oall for you, John." Seated in tbe suffooatlng and be grimmed little room, the guide proceed ed to show the visitors how a "pill" was prepared. Soon things were well under way, and tbe little nut oil lamp was turning out pills in rapid order. Tbe opium turned to a real brown color, and the pill manufacturing process was indeed a novelty in its way. It is said that the Chinese make a dozen pills from 10 cents' worth of the "dope," while the white fiend would make less. The sensation produced by tbe use of the drag, explained the guide, la a re markably pleasant one. It is a mistake to suppose that it causes sleep. The drowsiness amounts to nothing. The 15 minutes were soon up, and John was called to release the trio. '.'Lett* no.. Bfiljferoiri, ors wended their way out through tbe darkened passageway. The guide informed the reporter tbat some of tbe worst dives in Chinatown were upstairs. It is thought by the Celestials that tbey are much safer in harboring white opium fiends on the second floor. On entering a narrow atairwav on Marchessault street the visitors saw at the head of the flight a dimly burning gaslight. A long darkened hallway led to the rear. On either side were rooms which the Chinese rented. A labyrinth of small, narrow; balls branched off from the main entrance. "Turn to the left," said tbe guide, and the visitors soon found themselves almost in tbe middle of a block with but one way of escape. in the smoking room. In a dirty, Bmoke-begrimmed little space were three bunks on which lay the Chinese smokers. The guide so successfully used his tongue tbat we soon had another quantity of tbe com atoes-produoing drug, which proves tbat almost anyone wbo knows the ropeß can secure all he wants. The party failed to join the Chinese friends in smoking, and they soon wound around the dimiy ligbted hallways and down into the street again. "There are other dens worse than these," the guide remarked, "where white persons constantly vtßit to smoke the vile stuff. I have seen many a white man in yonder den, and so slick are the Chinese it is a hard matter for the po lice to catch tbem. You sco a fellow goes in just as we did—the vellow skinned proprietor locks him up, and he is safe from the law. Sometimes a pad lock is put on the outside of the door and looked to try to fool the officers. Ob, they have a hundred schemes to defy the law, and, as yon know, they are suc ceeding admirably." "Well, it's getting late," said the re porter, as he handed the guide a dollar for his trouble. Good night was said and tben the pair of Herald men hunt ed up the policeman on the Chinatown beat. Officers Fay and Rice were found and asked if it were a fact tbat tbe law was being violated by the Chinese opium dealers. "Yes, and considerable of tbe business is going on, but it is done so quietly that it in almost, imnnijihla *o rssthssi in." aald on* of the 'knight* of tha bill*. LOS ANGELES IIERALDt SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1893. "Officer McKenxle, who baa the worst beat in Chinatown, can give you all tbe pointers you want, but he is now off on his vacation. There's no doubt about tbe business going on. Why. it was only night before last that a well known man of the city was fired out of that den over there for smoking. His brother is an official—you know him—but a more confirmed fiend never existed than that fellow. Lots of it going on? Well, there's no doubt of it. Even boys and women are habitues of tbe vilest joints in tbe district." Another policeman on a beat near by waa then approached and the same question was put to him. "See that fellow on the corner over there," be said, as he nodded his head toward the building on tbe northeast corner of Alameda and Marchessault streets. "Well, I'm watching him now. He's going to a joint soon, and I'm shadowing him. I think I will be able to locate tbe place he visits, and event ually run the whole gang in." The officer was tbe one who not many nights ago captured two robbers and landed them both in jail. He is a de termined man and -will get his game yet, despite the trickery of the wily celestials. W. D. Wasson. MUSTANG STAGE LINE. PASSENGERS HAD TO CATCH THE COACH ON THE FLY. Mr, Oondea Drove Between Ban Ber nardino and Tameoula and Waa a Bold Western Wonder. Moreno Indicator: "I knew A. J. Condee when he lived in San Bernardi no, long before he settled iv Moreno," said a San Bernardino man. "He has since acquired large land interests in Moreno, and was recently elected county clerk of Riverside county. When I first knew Condee he was in the drug busi ness. Early in tbe '80s be sold ont, and from tbat moment be was like a fish out of water. The Santa Fe had just fin ished its line from San Diego to Temec ula canon. As the line from Orange to San Diego was not then projected there was no communication between San Bernardino and San Diego except by team to Temecula and thence by rail to Ban Diego. "Tbe general passenger agent of the Santa Fe adviaed Oondee to put on a stage lina from San Bernardino to Tem ecula. He thought so well of the matter tbat he purchased a eecond-hand stage. Just at this time a Mexican came into town With a band ot mustangs that had been lariated on the plains and never seen a harness or human habitation, Tbe Mexican offered tbe band to Oondee for flO apiece. Thanking bis lucky stars for being able to get horses so cheaply, Condee bought tbe whole outfit and sent half of them to Box Springs station, where he proposed changing horses. So one but Condee would have bad the nerve to attempt running a stage with such stock. "The distance from San Bernardino to Temecula is 35 miles, and he made daily trips, connecting with tbe 11a. m. train to San Diego and returning with tha passengers of the 3 p. m. train from San Diego. "I can tell you tbere was a eiroua when Condee harnessed those mustangs for the first time. He had six men to help him. There was a full load booked for San Diego for tha first trip. Of w- „.<sen enougu w uncn up those mnetangsand call round to tbe hotela for bis passengers. He hitched up a couple of livery hones and gath ered up his unsuspecting passengers, then drove around to tbe hvery stable and changed horses. He had eight men to help, two men to esch horse, and be fore tbe passengers had a chance to be come alarmed Condee snapped bis whip and the mustangs were off like a rocket. He didn't pretend to be able to stop them, so went by Box Springe, tbe half way Btation, on the fly. By tbe time he reached Temecula, however, tbey were pretty well fagged and partially ttndfir control. On tbe return be changed at Box Springe and went clattering down the canon at a pace that made the pas sengers' hair stand on end. "The ticket agents on tbe railroad sold through tickets for Condee's stage. He carried a great many passengerß and was making money hand over fist, al though I never heard of a passenger rid ing with him a second time if he could help himself. Condee's bucssb finally resulted in an opposition stage line being put on, and as he never dared to stand in front of the depot, hitched up, tbe opposition had the advantage. I rode down with him one day to attend to some business and he confided to me his difficulties. Tbe only thing tbat saved him was tbe through tickets. The opposition secured all of the transients and those who bad failed to buy tickets in San Diego. He said his mustangs bad become tame and be intended driv ing to tbo depot for bis passengers, as the other stage did. "When tbe train came in, I gathered Condee's passengers together for bim and had tbem waiting on tbe platform. We soon saw Condee bearing down on the depot with his horses on a dead run. Jußt before reaching the platform he yelled out 'all aboard,' and of course we expected bim to stop, bat he went by like a shot. He pulled hia team around, making a great circle on the plain and came bearing down on tbe depot, yell ing 'all aboard' at tbe top of bis voice as he shot by again. "All tbe passengers were eastern people, and they were terrified at the prospect of riding behind such animals, but there were no accommodations at Temecula and the opposition stage bad pulled out. 1 tried to reassure them by telling tbem tbat Condee was one of those eccentric, dare-devil Caiifornians and was only trying to strike ter ror to our hearts, but he was in real ity as gentle as a lamb. Somehow this did not seem to oalm them. After Oon -1 dee bad swung around the circle several times, yelling 'all aboard' each time as he went by, I felt satisfied that he would never be able to stop the beasts, so I told my fellow passengers tbat tnis extraordinary man must expect us to jump on while tbe stage was in motion. I went np the road away and when Con dee came tearing down again I jumped on. We swung around the circle and when Condee shouted 'all aboard' an other passenger made a run ancl caught the stage. In thia way he finally got all of hie load and we started for San Bernardino, beating the opposition in. "Condee waa disgusted with his mus tangs and, as he didn't think the busi ness warranted purchasing new etock, he abandoned the mustang stage line." Wall Paper at Uoat.
