BIG POLICE GRAFT
IN CHINATOWN
Fourteen Gambling Houses
K Paying $750 Weekly for
Protection to the Games
COIX GOES "HIGH UP"
Fourteen cambllnc hnu«r« ope-ratlac
in Chinatown j-Irld \u25a0 larK«- lncoxne to
those hlffh officials of the Police De
partment vrho protect the f ant an and
lottery camhlrrw. Should the Grand
Jury tnrn Its attention to this Kraft
on tlir j-cllott tnrn by the yello^r
roatrd i>qu«d of the nrtvlj- uniformed
police It would find That $7&0 a week
In raked off the tables and turned Into
the channels of "protection." George
Dowbcj, an old Chinatown hanfCT-on.
9e«fceaJDta of Police Fafaer and Dnnn
nn of the Chinatown nquud, and the
\u25a0 vnrlclona and Indicted Chief Dlnan
•re said to be In a position to know
• nmrthtnr eoncenlac tlie tribute paid
Treekly.
If the poWce, by any mischance, are
doing: their work honestly and neither
know where gambling is carried on in
Chinatown, nor profit by the Illegal
business, the following directory may
be ot Interest to the department:
LOTTERY GAMES
719 aad 7SS Clay street.
Pour places on Washlagtam street,
Trent of Kearny.
QO5-607 Jackson street.
A4O-64S Padtte street.
1102.1108 Dopant street.
Tno fantan gunti on Washington
•treet, near Kearny. ..""-:
These fourteen place* pay regular
tribute, averaging $50 each, into the
coffers of the police officials.
The Chinatown graft is one of the
established perquisites of the police.
Ever since the Mongolian quarter and
the Police Department have existed
tribute has been paid by the Chinese
and collected by the grafters. When
ever the administration wanted to get
rid of a chief of police or a subordinate,
he was accused of collecting or re
ceiving Chinatown gold, and in every
Instance the chaj^e was sufficiently
proved to cost the accused his posi
tion. Chl*»f Wlttman"s was the last
head to fall into the basket on this
• count.
Tt 1* not within the range of prob
ability that D.nan will be decapitated
because of any part he might have in
the graft, for that fellow-feeling which
exists among the indicted will save
him from the Ire of his managers,
Ruef and Schmltz.
In addition to the gambling graft the
Police Department gets a rake-off from
Chinese opium Joints and brothels of
the yellow and white races. Billy Ab
bott, the most notorious man In San
Francisco, is conducting three places
of ill-repute and pays his stipend week
ly to the men who protect his shame.
On Commercial street there is a nest
of Infamous resorts.
Th«* total amount of money paid the
Police Department for protection last
week Is estimated conservatively at
13000.
M'KINLEY TO BE A
REGENT AGAIN
The tip comes straight from the in
side in Sacrar.iento that .Tudg«* J. W.
McKinley of I^os Angeles. will soon be
restored to his former position as a
regent of the University of California.
Th<» unexplred term to which he was
appointed by Governor Gage expired
March I, 1906. Governor Pardee. who
was in office at that time, appointed
Rudolph J. Tausslg to succefd McTvin
ley. The appointment was made short
ly after the adjournment of the Santa
Crux convention, of which Judge Mc-
Klnley was chairman.
leaders of the organization fancied
that Dr. Pardee turned down McKinley
because the latter openly advocated
the nomination of Congressman Glllett
for Governor.
TntellJgenrp from the Inside is to the
effect that Tausslg's appointment will
be recalled by Governor Gillett and tTie
.name of J. W. McKlnley sent to the
Senate for confirmation.
MEMSEX AXD DABXKIt CASKS
COXTIMED UNTIL FRIDAY
Sentence* of Gnuplpe Murderer* With
held for Further TwCmonj and
Completion of Transcript
Although yesterday was the day f=et
hy Judge Cook for pronouncing sen
tence on John Siemsen and I#ou'is Dab
ner. the gaspipe murderers, a continu
ance In^each case was granted until
Friday, when the final efforts of the
attorney for the convicted men to ob
tain a sentence less than death In each
case will be made.
Judge Hall of Petahima appeared for
Dabner and aeked for the continuance
In his client's case. Questioned by As
sistant District Attorney Hanley he
declared that he expected to shew by
witnesses that Dabner's mind had been
affected since youth by the lodging of
a bullet, with which he was accident
ally shot, against his brain. On the
strength of this testimony he will
move to have the case reopened.
The transcript of the testimony In
'the fiiemsen case has not been com
pleted, and. as his attorneys have an
• nounced their Intention of moving for
a new trial, it is necessary to have this
on hand before the matter can be
taken up. Judge Cook announced,
however, that the flnul consideration of
both cases would be given on Friday,
and that the showing then must be
utrong enough to warrant a granting
of the motions for the defendants or
sentences would be passed without fur
ther delay.
