She said that her husband had been ill-natured Friday evening and she went out on the porch and refused to sit at the table and listen to his tirade. She took the children with her.

This angered him and he told her if she did not eat with him she should go to bed hungry. After he had completed his meal she took the little girls in and Started to eat. She had just taken out some potatoes on her plate when he rushed up, grabbed the spuds and threw them in her face.

Judge Jordan fined the defendant $15 and costs and sentenced him to thirty days on the rock pile. He turned the $19.31 found on Doane when searched at police headquarters, over to his wife for the support of herse'f and children.

Between the covers of the "black book," too. are the records of the opium cargoes and the smuggling of Chinese across the Canadian border.

Among the cities named were: Oakland. Portland. San Francisco. Seattle. Van Couver, Boston, Butte, Detroit, Knaead, Hong Kong and New York.

In addition to the "black book" dozens of letters were found from various agents, enclosing letters from white girls. It is possible, the police believe, that the tongs who control the "tunnel," have acted as American representatives of white slave bands in China, who recently have sent dozens of white women to Chinese port towns.
