The Lines Are Now SJjarply
Drawn in the China
town Fight.
MONGOLIAN WELI ORGANIZED.
Slaveholders Backed by Money
and Influence in Their
Struggle.
WHllfe NBIJTS ARE INTERESTED.
Many American Boys Enticed Into
the Dens Where the Slaves
Are Kept.
It is probable that no case in a Ban
Francisco court has ever caused quite so
much excitement in Chinatown as the
one which will come before Judge Low
next Saturday, when a man and his wife
will be arraigned for keeping a minor in
their den. To the Chinese much more is
involved than appears on the face of the
record. It is a test ca;e between the
Housekeepers' Assoc ation and Christian
ity. Back of the Chinese association is
the entire mass of Chinese who live in
that portion of the City which has long
been considered the show placa of San
Francisco. Back of Christianity, so far,
are the ladies of the Methodist Mission,
who have been engaged in rescue work
among the Chinese dens, and Dr. Masters,
superintendent of the mission.
The fight now is to see whether the
ladies of the missions can go on in their
work, or whether they are to be Jorcver
estopped. While tho Chinese are orean
ized for the battle and have money to
make the fisht the people directly inter
ested in tne mission work have neither
money nor organization. It rests with
the Christian people of the City to now
give them the aid financially and morally
that is necessary to enable them to carry
on the fight for morality. A movement is
now on foot to have a. mass-meeting of all
citizens to take steps in the matter, and i t
is expected that it wiil result in a crusade
against the Vila dens that will be of ma
terial assiftance to those who have so long
worked alone.
There is to be a meetinc of the ladies of
the two Occidental boards this week in
joint session, and Collector Jack«on has
Deen invited to ue present. This meeting
will probably take action on the question
of illegal landing of Chinese women, and
will show io the Coliector such conclusive
proofs of the Ions; method* of the past
that be will probab!y look into the matter
of deporting large numbers o; women ana
girls who have uo right in this country.
fcundav nieht Mrs. Like and Mrs. Hull
of tlie Methodist Mission went through
several oi the alleys in Chinatown, and
wnile investigating one blind aliey they
were accosted by a white her for oife
of the Chinese dens, who begged them to
leave the alley as they could get no jfirls,
and, as he exprtSM.d it, "you will stam
pede every girl in the alley." He was to:d
ttint that was just what was desired.
Ttiis incident was sufficient to show to
the ladies that tli-ir work was effective,
and nl-=o that if th* girN had un oppor
tunity the}- would nl! leave the dens where
they are inimurrd. During this vis. I tiie
Jat:ei notice In gie;u many while boy,
mo>t of tliPin wrll drss.^ed, of ages rang

alleys and who were frequenting the

number had appreciably increased within
her knowledge, and she was sure that if
their parents could know tue dangers they
were running tney would rise against the
whole iniquitou? system.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1597.
STILL MARY IS
GUARDIANLESS
Mrs. Helen Kuhl Withdrew
Her Application for
the Joh.
And Donald Ross' Pro Forma
Petition Was Denied by
Judge Ooffey,
Sister Julia Has Temporary Custody
of the Little Half-Indian
Girl.
Judge Coffey's courtroom was thronged
with women yesterday afternoon, the
cause of the gathering being tho applica
tion for the appointment of a puardian
for little -Mary Brown, daughter of the
late Captain William Brown and an
Alaskan Indian woman.
No one could satisfactorily explain the
r»n?on for bo much excitement over the
matter, for it was devel .p*d that the girl
has no estate, thouzh it was for a time re
ported tnat she would inherit $40,000.
The girl seems to be a remarkable person,
however, since <v,ry one who has met her
at once becomes her fast friend. More
than that, it appears that she ii n remark
able musician, although but aboui 14
years of ace, and in other respects her in
tellectuality is vouche 1 fir as unusual.
The original application for guardian
ship was fled by Mrs. Helen Kuhl, witb
whom Mary had lived for many years,
having been placed in the Kuhl house
hold by her father when he brought her
from Alaska, 3oon after her birth. In her
own behalf Mrs. Kuhl testified that sne
has a good home, and that it was her de-
sire to give the girl all the advantages of
good care and a rir-t-class education. She
said she had heard siories that had been
circulated against her, Out that there was
no truth in the report that she had abused
the girl in any way or that Mary had
been compelled to sleep with a colored
girl. She had slept in the same room, but
not in the same bed with the colored girl,
bnt that was in accordance with h.-r own
wish.
When the proceedings opened yester
day Attorney Gallagner announced that
Mrs. Kuhl had decided to withdraw her
application . for the guardianship because
of the great publicity that had been given
to the matter. O 1 account of these hap
penings she did not believe that Mary
could ever again be as happy as she had
been in the past, and although s-he still
loved the little girl dearly she would give
up all claim 10 her custody and ask iho
court to appoint some proper person ior
trie place. Mr. Gallagher added that Mrs.
Kuhl does not believe the persons now
around Mary Brown are her best iriends,
but she left the whole matter in the hands
of the court.
Attorney Martin Stevens remarked that
certain aspersions had been cast on Don
ald Ross, the other applicant for letters of
guardianship, and he thought an oppor
tunity ougut to be given for rep;y unless
those aspersions were withdrawn.
Mr. Gallagher retorte i that his client
withdrew lier petition for letters of guar
dianship, but nothing else.
Captain Ross was then called to the
witness-stand, and in the first place Mr.
Stevens said he was not particularly de
birou? of being appointed guardian, but
had merely put in application in order
that he nugiH have a proper standing in
court and tntu more effectually cor.ibat
Airs. Kuhl. lie professed tne greatest re
pugnance for that i;idy, s-aying that he
could not bear to speak to her after she
had abused Mary in his presence once
about two years ago, when she referred to
Mary as a "dirty little Indian" and called
Mary's mother "a squaw with nothing to
woar but lucccnsitis and- a breed) clout."
It was on'y a short time ago that ne had
heard that Mrs. Kuh! was cruel to the
girl, and then iia was told that Mrs. Kuhl
struck the girl on the forehead with the
heel of her shoe because she snored while
she was asleep. He asked the girl about
it when he saw the scar. His attention
had been called to the scar or he would
probably not have noticed it.
Anothor complaint that hud come to
Captain Ross was theallegation that Mary
was compelled to sleep with. a co ored
f-ervant girl. He inve>tig;»ted this and
found i hat the report was not true.
At ibis point the greatest surprise of
the case was disclosed, for Mr. btevens
asfcea about tiio property. tsat Mary is
supposed to have in store for her when
she comes of ace.
"The estat* or Captain Brown amounts
to about $1500." said Mr. Ros=.
"But has he not some interest in the
Ala-ka Commercial Company, or any of
those r>l^' cortiurations, as some have re
ported ?" afked Mr. Stevens.
".No, sir." r«»])l ed the witness.
"Dkl yo;i know Captain Brown well?"
pursurd Mr. Stevens.
"I did. Ho was a very dear friend of
mine."
The will of Captain Brown was pro
duced from the County CWk's office, and
it was demonstrated that M irv has no es
tate whatever, all the property of Captain
Brown beinc bequeaiiied to Mary'^
mother, with instructions to property
care for the children so far as within her
power.
Capain Koss declared with nrnch feel
ing lhat he had never intended to s-nd
Mary to Alaska, and ibat aior.ei to thai
effect were barefaced lie*.
Judge Coft'ey denied both applications
without prejudice, saying tliat on ac
count of 1 lie dispute between Mrs. Kuhl
and Captain Kosa lie would not give
eiiher of them the appointment, "but
woula leave ibo k rl vvitli Bister Juiia
pending the selection of a suitable person
to have permanent custody of the child.
It was stated that Mary's mother will
soon te here, nnd m that event sne will
take charge of her offspintr, and that will
ena al) controversies in the court. Captain
Ross expressed hiniseii as perfectly satis
tied with the decision.

Many Methodist Ministers Fa
vor Conference Being
Itinerant,
Dr. Hemphill Reads a Communication
Praying for Dr. Minton's
Kelease.
There is a strong probability that after
the coming conference Pacific Grove will
cease to be the headquarters of tha great
gathering of Methodist Episcopal minis
ters for this part of the Siate and that the
conference will be made itinerant, as it
was some years ago.
The subject of an itinerant conference
was di«cusgeil at considerable length yes
terday at the Methodist Preachers' weekly
meeting. Rev. S J. Carroll, D.D., and
Rev. J. N. Beard, DD , expressed them
selves strongly in Javor of abandoning
Pacific Grove as the annual place of con
ference, and a majority of those present
ware of ths same opinion. It was Qffed
toat S.m Fi an Cisco and Bacramento arc
much more ncoes-iible to the maj >rity of
the preachers than Pacific Grove, and that
an itinerant conference would bo accord
ing to precedent.
At the meeting of the Presbyterian Min
isterial Union yesterday Rev. Dr. Hemp
hill read (he letter wnich tlio directors of

First Mate Au^u t Johnson, Carpenter

all under the influence of liquor. John
Stance, who keops the Castle galoon,
asked them all to go upstairs and go to
