Chief of Folloe Oiitsmacher some
time ago drew the attention of patrol
men to opium end gin Joints conducted
by Chinese and ordered them to be
vigilant In the dlsoharge of their duties.
Until a fsw days ago, however, the
police bad no Idea of the extent to
which the evil' had progressed, owing
to the cunning of the orientals In not
allowing either boys or girls to spend
their time around places which they
knew were under police espionage. The
disclosures show that all the illegal
work carried on waa at laundries and
lodging-houses not likely to be care

Bruin, "that this body and soul-destroy
