San Diego, Oct. 1. Wholesale re

cials of the Immigration service along
the I'aclflc coast are expected to fol
low the discharge by telegram from
Washington today of the entire en
tire force of the local bureau. The

the end of lodny's work.
Notwithstanding the wind and rain I
this Is to be easily the biggest day of
fair week thus far. Early this morn-I
lug tne people began pouring into the,
city from all directions anil both the
Northern Pacific and O. R. & X. trains
brought In capacity crowds. '
It was announced by the fair man-;
agcmctit last evening that up to that
time the average dally attendance
was Sfi per cent greater than for the
corresponding days of last year, mak-l
lug it certain that the big Mir is to
be a success from a financial and at
tendance standpoint, as well as from
every other. The large attendance Is
particularly gratifying to the manage
ment which feels repaid for enlarg
ing the big pavilion, wnicn. owing to
the fact that there Is nearly three
times as much standing space as for-'
merly, has not been crowded as In
past years. ;

The feature of today's fair will be
the big Illuminated automobile pa

of the Elks' celebration and promises
to be one of the most beautiful sights
ever witnessed In the city. Sam'

and night to make it a success. Noth
ing has been left undone and It is
sure to be a success regardless of the
weather, w hich, however, will prob-1
nbly be favorable. '
Tomorrow the school children of the
city will reign supreme at the fair,
and the parades by the different
schools will be a sight long to be re- J

Chinese emperor Is sufl't i inw is puz
zling attendants of the royal palace.
Today they are in consultation with
the mos: eminent physicians of Chi
na who were called by the empress
dowager. The emperor Is said to be
suffering from a violent form uf in
sanity.
What has always been considered
the Impossible has practically hap
pened. Pendleton's tenderloin dis
trict has all but been wiped nut. The
drastic order of Mayor Murphy. Is
sued one week ago this morning, has
had a better and more far-reaching
effect than the mayor or any of tho
councllmen dreamed that It would
have when made.
The order was to the effect that
all women occupying the row of one
story shacks on Cottonwood street be
tween Alia and Webb streets, nnd
those occupying the ground floors of
the two-story buildings should he re
quired to move out. Also that the
lattice work In front of these build
ings should bo torn out and that the
rooms on the ground floors of the
two-story buildings must be torn out
so they could no longer be used for
bawdy house purposes.
While It was hoped that this order
would have the effect of causing
some of the denizens of this part of
town to seek locations elsewhere It
was supposed that tho most of them
would find accommodations on the
second floors of the two-story build
ings Jn that neighborhood. Such
does not seem to have been the ease,
however, for large numbers of them
have been seen to leave the city on
recent trains and It was announced
by Chief of Police Ourdane this
afternoon that all but four of them
had left town altogether.
Since this Is a more satisfactory
solution of tbe problem than even
the most ardent leaders of the move
ment against this class of people had
hoped for and it Is now believed that
the agitation will be dropped.
The results of the mayor's orders
are considered the more remarkable
since It has always been argued that
Jt would be Impossible to rid the city
of this class of people, it being mere
ly possible to scatter them. It Is
generally ndmltted, however, that the
voting of the county dry and the
eliminating of the saloons with the
enforcement of the prohibition law
has had a great Influence In causing
the general exodus.

diversion from liquor cases that have

in the gambling cases and the indict

Van Winkle, who 'was paroled this
morning after having entered a plea
of guilty to a charge pending against
him.

Demur to Complaints.
Today the attorneys for the indict

in the legal fight they are to make by
filifig demurrers to all the indict
ments. Several demurrers were filed at 9
o'clock this morning and this after
noon the remainder were submitted
to the court.
The attorneys for the defendants
showed a desire to avoid arguing the
demurrers, but submitted a number
of authorities upon the subject. A; 2
