STORY OF A THEILLWG ADVENTURE.
Two Hours in a Slave Den in a
Struggle to Save an Unfortu
nate Woman.
There was another object-lesson for the
people of San Francisco Wednesday night
in the rescue of a slave girl, a short ac
count of wbich app<a-edin The Call of
yesterday morning, but the full details of
which could not at that time be told.
Notwithstanding the fact that three la
dies were struggling with the habitues of
a Chinese house of ill repute, and opposed
by a white man who even went so far as
to strike Miss Lake a blow on the head,
two policemen detailed to protect the
ladies stood idly by and permitted them
to be maltreated and abused, and it was
not until Sergeant Perrin made his ap
pearance and took an active part in the
Affray that the ladies had anything like
adequate protection in tbeir work.
lt is but due to Sergeant Perrin and his
squad to say that in every instance where
help is required I y these noble ladies in
"LET THE LAWS BE ENFORCED."
Lieutenant-Governor Jeter Appreciates the Work of "The
Call" and Suggests a Remedy.
SANTA CRUZ, Cal., Aug. 12.— " appreciate the effort THE
Call is making toward the abolition or suppression of the slavery of
Chinese women and girls.
*' 1 think the evil should be met by the rigid enforcement of the
existing laws that have been passed from time to time to regulate
Chinese immigration. Or if it appears, after conscientious effort, that
the Chinese slavery now carried on in defiance of the authorities can
not be corrected by strict enforcement of existing laws then, certainly,
the next session of Congress should be urged to amend the present
laws or enact new laws that will reach it effectually and wipe out this
injustice to Chinese women and disgrace to American civilization.
their work he and his men are prompt to
lend all the assistance in their power,
and are always ready to respond to a call
for aid. It is also noticeable in this con
nection that police in uniform, who are
supposed to preserve the peace and pro
tect those who are in need, give the least
assistance in such cases.
On the occasion spoken of the two offi
cers sent in response to the telephone
message of Miss Like stood around and
saw the struggle in which the slave was
choked and beaten by ihe mistre-s of the
house and a watchman, and they made no
move to give protection except to tell the
ladies to let her go, as she was getting
"the worst of it."
Mrs. Lake, matron of the Methodist
Mission House, said yesterday thai the
workers received more obstruction from
these "watchers" than from the Chinese
themselves, and on this occasion the man
showered abuse upon her and her com
panions during the en.ire time that they
were in the house, and alter the girl was
taken away the watchman followed them
and tried to incite a Chinese mob to take
the girl back. In this instance, however,
one of the members of the Chinatown
squad was irritated beyond endurance by
the molestations of the fellow and finally
gave him a kick that sent him back after
he had followed them lor four blocks
pouring out bis abu-e and vile language
upon the heads of the ladies.
Tte principal cause of grievance on the
part of this individual seemed to be the
fact that a petition was' in circulation
which had for its object the suppression
of Chinese slavery, ana his consequent
loss of a job, and also tbat The Call was
taking stops to throw light upon the con
ditions which prevaileu in the Chinese
quarters of the City. He appeared to feel
that the ladies of the missions were
directly responsible for the petition and
gave his opinion of the matter in unmeas
ured terms. In speaking of the incident,
Mrs. Lake said:
"We received word last April that this
g rl desired to escape from the hands of
her owners, and ever since that time we
have been trying to get her, but some
thing has always occurred to prevent the
carrying out of the attempt to rescue her.
"Last night Mrs. Hull, Miss Lake and
myself went through Chinatown, and as
we passed the door oi the housi whore the
girl was kept wo went in and found the
door open. The girl was sitting in a room,
and while Mrs. Hull and I went in to keep
her company Miss Lake went out to tele
phone for an officer to help us take her
away. While sue was gone the watchman
came to the door and demanded admit
tance, but we did not let him in until the
police came. When the officers came we
attempted to take the girl out, but the
watchman and the mistress of the house
caught her and fought us as we struggled
to get to the door. The policemen stoo.;
by and gave us no assistance whatever.
The mistress put her thumb in the girl's
throat and choked her until she was black
in the face. At last the police told us mat
we had better let the girl go, as she was
getting the worst of it, and then, when we
loosened our hold, the poor creature was
dragged by her hair into a room and the
door was locked.
"We sent for the sergeant of the China
town squad and when he came he left two
other officers with us and gave them in
structions to protect us. When we got
the door open to get the girl out we were
again attacked by the watchman and- the
mistress, but succeeded, with the aid of
the two policemen, in getting her from
the house. We had been in . there fully
two hours and all the while the watchman
was abusing us and also doing all 'in his
power to make us leave the place, claim
ing that he had legal authority, while we
were trespasser. '<..
"After we got the girl from the house
the watchman had a crowd of Chinamen
follow us almost to the doors of the mis
sion- nouse, and all the time he was abus
ing us and trying to incite the mob to at
tack us and take the girl from us. This
experience is nothing different from many
others we have when we try to get girls
away from these bouses. We always meet
with just such treatment at the hands of
-the watchmen, and if we are successful it
is always aeainst great odds, 1 wish
everybody could see just what is going on
in Chinatown as v,e see it, and they would
fully appreciate the need of the petition
>vi.ich is being circulated asking the
President to take the matter in hand."
The members of the Chinese slavg
owners' society are much incensed over
the circulation of the petition, and are
now making veiled threats against those
who are thus trying to interfere- with their
business. It means a great financial loss
to them, and they do not propose to allow
it if they can prevent it, by fair means or
foul. Consul-General Yu has no sympathy
with the violation of the laws ot this
country, and is giving the ladies of the
mission all the encouragement in his
power. He is powerless to put a stop to it
himself, but steadily sets his face against
anything that is not in conformance with
the laws of this country.
AFTER CHINATOWN SQUAD
Mongolian Law Violators Find That
They Are Too Closely
Looked After.
The Chinatown squad, under Sergeant
Perrin, hss been looking too closely into
violators of the law in that part of the
City, and the suit is that the heads of
the various clubs begin to think they must
do something to prevent this infringe
ment upon what they have so far con
sidered their richts. Word reached tho
serpeant yesterday that there was to be a
meeting of the chiefs of the clubs at which
action was to be taken to afford better
protection to those who gambled.
A descent was made upon the room
where the gathering; took place and fifteen
mtn were found around a table, upon
which were a number ol red papers. The
sergeant took possession of the papers
md sent them out for interpretation, and
found that they were notices which had
been sent to ali the clubs asking them to
be represented at a meeting which was to
consiuer a proposition from a local law
yer, in which he agreed for the sum of
$3000 a year to protect them from police
interference, and guaranteed that the
police would not break down any more
doors in their attempts to get into gam
bling-rooms. Payments were to be made
at the rate of $625 quarterly and $500
down before work was oegun.
The descent of the squad interfered with
the meeting, but it was afterward learned
that the proposition was rejected, and it
was determined that there should be an
assessment of $10 on each club, and with
this fund an attempt would be made to
have the present personnel of the China
town squad altered in order that it should
be composed of men who would not take
"W. T. JETER."
such an active interest in having the law
enforced.
It is understood that this action of the
clubs was brought about partly by the
slave-owners, who say that the squad is
giving too much assistance to those
who are trying to break tip their business.
Word reached the sergeant last evening
that a band of highbinders were making
preparations to carry trouble to certain
Chinamen, and a raid was made on Baker
alley in bouses where they were known
to congregate, but just as the squad en
tered the mouth of th» alley an electric
light went out, and immediately the tink
ling of electric bells put all on their
guard, with the result that the raid found
empty rooms. * ;..,*■'
ILLUSTRIOUS CHINESE.
The Secretary of the Legation an
Honored Guest at the
Consulate.
Last evening at 8:30 Wong Ti Quin, sec
retary of the Chinese legation at Wash
ington, arrived in this City and was taken
to the residence of Consul-General Yu,
where he was the guest of honor. A din
ner was given to the secretary at which
many prominent men of Chinatown were
invitee guests. The secretary will remain
in the City for several days, and will prob
ably then go to China. He is accompanied
by two attaches of ibe legation and an
attendant, and there is considerable guess
ing going on among the Chinese here as
to juat what his visit portends.
The trouble among resident Chinese
over the slave question may be brought to
his attention, and he is also expected to
investigate the recent threats of death
which were posted on the walls of China
town. The men interested in having the
laws of the country obeyed look for
hearty support at his hands, while the
members of the slave-dealers' association
will do ah in their power to make him be
lieve that they are above reproach.
DEATH OF MRS. TOWNSEND.
Found Dead in Bod and the Gas
Flowing.
Mrs. Caroline Townsend, wife of E. de
Kay Townsend, secretary of the Red Cap
Mining Company, was found dead in her
bed at tier residence, 2618 Laguna street,
at an early hour yesterday morning. The
deceased lady had been ailing for some
lime with what was considered heart
trouble, and as a conseauence she had a
nurse to wait on her. Wednesday night,
however, the nurse was ent. and all
that could be ascertained was that the
gas in the sickroom had been left burning
during the night while the windows were
open, and it was either blown out by the
draft, or the lady got up during the night
and in some manner tampered with the
jet, leaving it open in such a way so that
sufficient escaped to cause her death.
When the family awoke in the morning
the strong odor of escaping gas in the
house attracted their attention. An in
vestigation of the premises soon revealed
the cause. In the room was found the
open jet with the dead body of Mrs.
Townsend lying on the bed.
The deceased was a native of New York,
aged 49 years. Tne Coroner was notified,
hut decided no*, to remove the body to the
Morgue; but he will hold an inquest,
nevertheless.
Sons of Vermont.
Frank Dillingham will deliver his farewell
address to the society of the Sons of Vermont
this evening at Odd Fellows' Hall prior to bis
departure for Auckland, New Zealand, as
United States Consul. After the address he
will introduce his successor, Judge Belcher,
as the new president of the society. There
will be un entertainment and speeches in
which all leading members of the order and
others will take part.;
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1897.
Prominent Workers for the Grand Y. M. I* Celebration.
THREE ALARMS
FOR A FIRE
Bruschke & Miller's Large
Furniture Factory De
stroyed.
A Dangerous Blaze Visits the
Bryant-Street Lumber
District.
A Poor Family on Perry Street Made
Homeless— Electric Wire
Accident.
The furniture manufactory of Bruschke
& Miller, on Bryant street, between
Fourth and Fifth, went up in a blaze last
evening shortly after 6 o'clock. Three
alarms of re were sounded from box 186,
but before the Fire Department arrived
the large structure and its two-story shed
addition were in a mass o! fire and -moke.
No sooner did Chief Sullivan realize the
danger than he caused nearly all of the
remainder of the department to be called
out on two more alarms.
It was one of the quickest and most
savage fires that the men have had to
handle for some time past. It started in
the engine-room in the west end of the
long shed, and the wind being strong the
tire swept furiously through the entire
building, which consisted of four stories
on Bryant street and a long two-story shed
addition that extended back over 100 feet
into a large lot. Before the engines ar
rived the entire shed was ablaze and the
fire was bursting out of every window of
the main building.
For a time it looked as though the lum
ber-yards on the south side of the street
would be destroyed also, but a flood of
water thrown out liberally was their sal
vation. Fortunately there was plenty of
water, and a dozen or two streams pre
vented the fire from escaping from the
building in which it started.
Several cottages in the rear lacing on
Peiry street were badly scorched and one
wan almost entiralj destroyed. The iatter
was the residence of J. Lynch and Mr.
O'Larney, owned by J. Hiron. Some of
tbe furniture was saved.
The houses occupied by William Cruise
and Mrs. K. Conlan in ttie rear of 233
Perry street were badly scorched. . The
same damage was done to the houses oc
cupied by 0. F. Williams and Edwin
Woodruff in the rear of 231.
After a hard fight the men got the fire
under control, and all that was left of the
San Francisco Furniture Manufacturing
Company, as the firm was called, was a
mass of smoldering lumber and twisted
machinery in the rear aud the skeleton of
what was once a tall building in the front.
The loss was not so great as might be
supposed, because there was but little ma
terial in the place.
Last October the firm of Bruschke &
Miller went into insolvency, and since
then most of the material has been cleaned
out of the place. For some time past only
about forty men have been employed
work. ng up the material on hand, which
was at once sent away as soon as made
into furniture. The Fire Department offi
cials estimate the loss at about $8000, in
cluding the building. Bruschke estimates
the loss at $20,000, and he says that he car
ried $4000 insurance.
There were several incidents of note
during the fire, two of which came near
resulting seriously. Thomas Logan, a
fireman, came near losing his life when
placing a ladder against the shed. A tele
phone wire brcke from its fastening on an
adjoining building and fell across a live
electric wire near by. The telephone wire
struck Logan across the face, and the man
was knocked senseless to the ground, fall
ing a distance of ten or twelve feet. He
was picked up and removed to his home
at 768 Harrison street, where it took him
sometime to recover.
Shortly after the fire broke out it spread
to the residence of Mrs. O'Larney of 235
Per; y street. The family made an effort
to saVe their furniture and forgot that a
little 5-year-old girl was asleep in the rear
room close to where the fire was raging.
Then the alarm was given. Elias Whit
man heard the mother's cry and rushed
into the burning house, and none too
soon. The flames were a'.rrady burning
the side of the wall, and the boy, who is
not more than 13 years old, had but a
moment to seize the child and make his
escape. When he reached the street his
clothes were on fire. He was loudly
cheered for his bravery. The little girl
was uninjured.
James Comiskey of the water battery
got his band caught in the machinery
while raising the tower and two fingers of
his lelt hand were badly cut.
G. T. Logan of truck 3 was on top of a
ladder, when he took bold of an e!e trie
wire that had got crossed with anotbe.
wire. The shock threw him to the ground
He escaped with a contusion of the right,
knee, but is suffering from the shock.
A BURNING MISTAKE.
W. H. Baker bwallows Creosote In
stead of "I>. T. Mixture."
, W. H. Baker, who says he is a nephew
of Colonel Baker of Los • Angeles, was
taken to the Receiving Hospital yesterday
morning from Post and Mason streets,
suffering from creosote poisoning.
He said he was being treated by Dr.
Woodward for delirium tremens, and
took a spoonful ot creosote in mistake for
the doctor's mixture.
After being treated at the hospital, he
refused to remain, a3 he wished to go
home to make his will for fear he should
die.
A few months ago Baker was in the
hospital suffering from delirium tremens.
A Baby Swallows Creosote.
. Alfred Smith, a baby, living with its parents
at 242 Minna street, got hold of a bottle of
creosote last evening and swallowed a portion
of the contents. The parents were removing
to another house and carelessly left the bottle
where the baby could reach it. The baby was
taken to the Receiving Hospital and every
thing wat done for it, but It is doubtful it it
will recover.
BOUGHT THE
SYNDICATE
J. W. Chipman of Indiana
Secures the Mine for
$100,000.
Will Build a Ten-Stamp Mill
and Erect an Electrical *
Plant.
Captain John Haley and J. B. Peaks
Say There Is a Large and
Eich Vein.
J. B. Peaks, who was formerly in the
hotel business at Santa Cruz, and his
partner, John C. Wilbur, have sold the
Syndicate gold property twelve miles
from Raymond, in Madera County, for
$100,000. |
The purchaser was J. W. Chipman of
Indianapolis, who has for some little time
been here examining the mine. He has
now gone East. Associated with him in
the purchase are other Eastern men.
"The sale took place yesterday," said
Mr. Peaks at the Palace, "and the amount
paid us was $100,000. The purchasers will
erect a 10-stamp mill at the mine to start
with, with a capacity for the mill of ten
other stamps. A complete electrical plant
will also be put in.
"The new owners will construct a tun
nel to tap the vein 140 feet below where
tbe tunnel is now. Our present workings
are some seventy feet in length. We « first
made a crosscut and then began to run a
winze.
"The vein shows about seventeen feet of
good ore. An actual mill test of the vein
showed $17 a ton after a loss ot $3 in tail
ings. , The ore was hauled seven miles."
The property was formerly known as
the Lucky Bill and was owned by Captain
John Haley, who also owned the Enter
prise mine, from which he took $175,000.
Captain Ha bad much other prop
erty. He is widely known in mining cir
cles.
He has lately examined the mine and
has a fund of rmation regarding it.
He thinks well of it.
"There is no doubt about the purchaser
having alarge body of ore, said he. "The
ore runs trom $10 to $18 a ton and the vein
is from 18 to- 20 feet wide. I located this
property, then the Lucky Bill and now
the Syndicate, about fifteen years ago. It
is twelve miles irom Raymond and only
three miles off the stage road on the way
to the Yosemite.
"The mine will be turned over to Mr.
Chipman on September 1, at which time
be will have returned from New York,
where he went a few days ago. Mr. Chip
man is a railroadman, hanker and coal
mine owner. He operated in Tombstone
in the early days. Mis home is in Indian
apolis."
FORCED TO REDUCTIONS.
Lower Bates to Be Made to
Visalia by the Southern

This Action Brought About by the
Anticipated Advent of the
Valley Road.
In anticipation of the advent of the
Valley road into Visalia the Southern
Pacific has made a reduction in freight
rates to that section, which is to go into
effect on the 15th inst. This reduction
has been partly made possible by its
recent acquisition of the branch railroad
operated between Goshen junction and
Visalia.
Between San Francisco and Visalia the
reduction will amount to $2 a ton on all
classes of freight, and between Stockton
nnd Visalia the reduction will be about
$1 40 per ton on ail classes.
The new rates between San Francisco
and Visalia will be as follows: First ciass,
66 cents per 100 pounds; secona class, 61
cents; third, 57 cents; fourth, 54 cents;
fifth, $8 70 per ton of 2000 pounds; class
A, $8 05 per ton; class li, $5 45 per ton;
class C, $4 80; class D, $4 15; class E,
■$3 45. .
Between Stockton and Visalia the new
rates will be as follows: First c!a?s, 61
cents per 100 pounds; second ciass, 58
cents ; third, 55 cents; fourth, 52 cents;
fifth. $8 10 ner. ton of 2000 pounds; class
A; $7 45 p-r ton class V, $4 85 per ton ;
class C, $4 20 per ton; class D, $3 55 per
ton; c'as* E, $2 b5 per ton. ■__
It will be at least three weeks before the
Valley road will be open lor general busi
ness to Visalia, though it is expected that
the road will be completed to that point a
week from to-day. It will be prepared to
haul wheat from that town and all inter
mediate stations, some time before the
road is formally opened for business. It
is the intention of the people of Visalia to
celebrate the advent of the Valley road
by a erand demonstration on the 9th of
September.
A Fight for a Child.
Application was made to the Supreme Court
yesterday for a writ of habeas corpus to secure
the custody of little Ruth Reynolds, a baby '
nineteen months '_ old. The application was
made by Molly JLeary, who adopted the child.
A year or so ago Elizabeth . Reynolds was
divorced ' from Charles Reynolds, and Ruth
was awarded to the mother. On the 9th inst
Mrs. Reynolds transferred the ; little one to
Miss Leary, who adopted her little charge,
Superior Judge Seawell signing the adoption
papers. . Two days later he set aside the odop
tion ' proceedings and the - father )■- took his
daughter. The application was made to the
Supreme k Court because none ;of the other
Superior Judges cared to interfere rln . the

BOYS STILL ON STRIKE.
The Rivet-Heaters of the Union
Iron Works Are Holding
Together.
A Number of New Boys "Were Taken
On, but Could Not Stand the
Severe Eeat.
The thirty-five boys who went on strike
at the Union Iron Works Wednesday noon
are still out and firm in their resolves not
to go back to work until their demands
are granted. A meeting was held yesterday
mornine at the Junior Standard Athletic
Club's rooms and a delegation was sent to
interview the foreman, butcould not make
any satisfactory agreement with him.
The foreman said if the boys would come
back one by one he would re-employ them,
but he will not recognize tbem as a body.
This the boys refuse to do, as it would only
be a case of going back at the same rate of
wages.
Tne whole trouble arose, the boys say,
over the fact that they have only been re
ceiving from $2 95 to $5 per week, while in
other factories the wages paid for the same
work is $1 25 and $1 50 per day. The boys
are willing to go back if tbey will De taken
in as a body and paid $1 125 per day.
It was reported that a number of new
boys were taken on this morning, but
could not do the work, as they were not
accustomed to the heat. About 100 men
are thrown out of work by the strike.
