Excerpt from Chinatown as I Saw It Having been invited to make a nocturnal tour through the Chinese section of New York City, in company with several Christian philanthropists, to gain an insight of what, to the large majority, is a mysterious and depraved terra incognito, 1 availed myself of the opportunity it gave me to obtain an accurate knowledge of the actual state of affairs there. The object lessons, presented during the hour or so spent in this investigation, enlarges on my memory as does the picture drawn on the slide when thrown upon the screen. Our facilities for securing correct information were unparalleled, and what we saw and learned was absolutely honest and unbiassed. The usual method adopted, is to visit these localities in company with a detective or someone holding legal authority. These are well known by the subjects sought after, and naturally, knowing that they have no kindly sympathy, the parties would be placed in antagonistic defense and their hearts locked and barred.
