According to Miss Goldman's states ment, Reltman told her that the mob had traced In the tar on his body, with a lighted cigar, the letters "I. W. W." She was unable to state whether the flesh was burned. Miss Goldman was much agitated by her experiences In San Diego. Upon her arrival here today she said: "Last evening while Dr. Reltman and I were at a San Diego hotel, the manager came to my apartment and satd that the chief of police wanted to talk to me lu the hotel office. Dr. Reltman accompanied me there. I was then sent to another room, where they said the chief was wait ing.

Jim Ling is Bound Over to Grand Jury for Assault on Wo Lee White Slave Probe May Follow. Down In the rear of a Chinese laundry on Riverside avenue so low that the waters of Dear creek almost lap along Its sides, filthy in tho ex treme, and so unsanitary as to make one shudder. Is a "white slave" den which, parallels the worst offered In San FranclBco's far famed China town, with tho slnglo exception that Its walls are of wood while In San Francisco they are often hewed from the earth Itself. Dark and filthy, this small chamber, about 10 feet square, gives evidence of such un speakable horrors as to make men wonder how such things can bo. And It took an attempted murder follow ing a quarrel over the Illicit earnings of the poor unfortunate who called this place hor home, to bring knowl edge of Its existence to tho outside world. Yet for ninny months, per haps years, this den' of Iniquity has been In existence. It escaped atten tion because no white man had ever entered It until yesterday. Vloln Miller's Home? For tho past two months It has been the homo of Viola Mlllor, who also lays claim to tho name of Laura White. There sho has been tho Blave of the 20 or SB Chinamen who mako their headquarters at the laundry. How many poor unfortunates pre viously called the place home Is not known and never can be known, but the dun gives evidence of having been occupied for a long timo past. Viola Miller was not confined to the room by the antiquated method of bars and locks. The Chinese have a more cruel and effective method of keeping their slaves within their power. They taught her tho opium habit. Well they knew that sho would return when she went forth to other places about the city. Well they knew that she would not seek the protection of her white country men. What of It If she did would they not kick this poor unfortunato on down the path she was following, and If they did not, would not the craving for opium make any offor of help futile? There was llttlo uso of locks and bars. Ensnared Early lu Life. According to her story Viola Miller was forced to go to work at au early ago to help support her mother and sister lu San Francisco.
