' " That the Chinese gamblers had sd ' vance Information of this change sMmed evident from the fact that the lid" came off In the'quarter early In , the day, and at 10 o'clock 1n the morn- in tut lens than 14 lottery companies i, . held drawings. These operations were l repeated at different hours throughout '- the day. Three big fantan and pie gow games were running continuously ; throughout the afternoon snd evening, ' and smaller games were conducted In termittently at various places. Diagonally across Second street from v police headquarters Is the establishment it of the Bo wow Co., certain members of v which firm have for lone enjoyed the ' reputation of being the backbone of K some- of the weslthiest lottery eompa ft nlea doing business in the Chinese quar- ter. On one of the floors above the - ator condiietsd-by this firm is located ..v0n of the most extensive gambling establishments in Chlnstown. Its pro ' ' inoter Is Jus Sue, the notorious Chines . gram bier, who conducts several estab i - Jishments of a similar character and who has at times achieved notoriety through the "presents" h has mad to i white friends in official Ufa. In Jus- tic to him It should be ststed that no sworn proof has evtr been produced to substantiate the charge that he la the collector and dispenser of the pro tection fund" that la being paid by Chi nese boss gamblers. Dpsftmat OlTes Oamhlers Tip. It Is this rambling resort over the store of he Bo Wow company that tlx polio neve mad "arrangements to raid. At the time the statement con cerning "srrsngemenu" was made a dribbling stream of Chinese gamblers was flowing in and out or tne street en trance to the resort, past the 'lookout" stationed at the door. All was within plnln view from the windows of the police station ana so ciose at nana mat by a little stretching of arms and Im agination the chief snd the lookout could have shaken hands across the In tervening space. Had a rald been or dered, between 50 and 100 Chinese gam blers would hays been snared. But the raid was not ordered oecaus or the "arrangements." In times past when the lid was off In Chinatown snd the gamblers were In the full enjoyment of purchased "pro tection," the word "arrangements", was not an Idle one. It had to do 'with what Is known In police parlance as a "frame up," or a ''phoney ' raid. The place to be raided was notified in ad vance that a raid would be made at a certain hour The keeper of the place would have three, four or five dummy gamblers in attendance and when the moral squad" arrived these dummies would be gath ered in and later subjected to fines In the police court If no "arrangements" were made and a legitimate raid was conducted the police would be IJkely to catch from 26 to 100 gamblers. The police court fines in such an event would mount up to a pretty penny and would make the business of persistent violation of the law extremely unprofit able. The only wholesale snd legitimate raids that havs been conducted at places that are popularly supposed to rrovide the bulk of the protection fund, or many months, were carried out by Detectives Baty. Price snd Coleman, under orders from Captain Bruin. These raids were made on Information pro vided by persona outside the police de partment. They were conducted with out the knowledge of the members of the so-called moral squad Acting De tectives Kay and Kelnlln who were assigned to the work of suppressing Chinese gambling by Chief Grltsmacher. These raids, which were productive of a wholesale harvest of fines deepened the bitter feeing already existing be- t woom f-Mf llrMiniarhl-r and CaDtain Bruin. They also put an end to Chinese gambling ror tne time neing. But not for long. Bruin got his or ders to keep out of Chlnstown, and the gamblers rejoiced. Then came the order, promulgated about 10 days ago, detailing Detectives Price snd Coleman to Chinatown. Gam bling stopped and the Mid closed with a snap, only to be raised at Infrequent Intervals as a sort of test of the new order of things. Ul Is UfUd. During ane of the brief Intervals Price and Coleman swooped down on the lottery game at 5 Second street and captured the notorious Jue Sue an four of his henchmen, who were in the act of conducting a lottery game. The famblera pleaded guilty and contributed 26 each to the city's finances in the shape of fines. As he was in the act of paying the Anna Jua Sua. used some varlesrated lan guage In expressing his disapproval of the new order or mines, as wen as his determination to "see about it." This was three days ago. Yesterday Price and Coleman were taken out of Chinatown, Kay and Bmlth were put in charge, the lid was lifted and Jue Sue conducted . lottery drawings within .a few score feet of Chief Grltxmacher's office undisturbed pending "arrange ments."

Mr. Wu was in an extremely pleasant mood when the reporters and photog raphers swooped down upon him and smilingly answered the interviewers Questions. "Of course, It Is unnecessary for me to say that I am glad to return to America. My relations with your pso- Dle have always been or a most pleas 'ant nature and i have many friends here. "The statement that I am bringing with me an appeal from China to the United States, asklna the American a-overnment to aid my country in check lnsr Japan's alleged' encroachments In Manchuria, Is untrue. As a matter of fact, the statements that Japan Is shutting out foreign trade by discrim ination in transportation rates are greatly exaggerated. "So far as I have been able to learn, the emigration differences between the United States and Japan were also greatly magnified. When the two gov ernments got together and presented arguments it was found that there was very little to arbitrate and the matter was quickly arranged." Mr. Wu brought with him 80 Chinese students, who will enter various Amer ican universities.
