CHINATOWN IN
’FRISCO LOSING
IN POPULATION
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9 (by As
sociated Press).—San Francisco’s
Chinatown, at one time perhaps the
largest in any American or European
city, continues to decrease in popula
tion, accordjng to statements from
the Chinese consulate and the China
town police squad. Before the San
Francisco fire of 1906 there were over
30,000 Chinese here, it was estimated.
Today Chinatown is credited with a
population of between 5,000 and 7,000.
Chinese populations of other sec
tions of the United States also are
decreasing, according to census fig
ures at the consulate. In 1900, they
show, there were approximately 89,
000 Chinese in America. In 1910 the
number had decreased to about 71,
000 and in 1920 to 55,000.
Many reasons have been assigned
for the decrease here. The consulate
thinks restrictions on Chinese immi
gration have been the main cause and
agress with officials of the police
squad that the ban placed on gamb
ling in the Chinese quarter is another
reason. Chinese love to gamble, the
police say, and when the ban was
ordered they left.
Eastern cities have called many
of the San Francisco Chinese where
they engage in the restaurant and
laundry business. Chicago, it is said,
has drawn heavily upon the San
Francisco Oriental quarter.

SUGAR OUTPUT
IN HAWAII HAS
BIG INCREASE
HONOLULU, Sept. 9 (by Associ
ated Press).—In 1860 the Hawaiian
islands produced 500 tons of sugar;
this year’s output will approximate
600.000 tons, according to figures giv
en by E. Faxon Bishop, member of
a large firm of sugar factories here,
to delegates to the Pan-Pacific con
gress.
Hawaii’s sugar output in 1876 had
grown to 26,000 tons, said Mr. Bish
op and at that time the old kingdom
of Hawaii concluded a reciprocity
agreement with the United States,
which lifted the duty of Hawaiian sug
ar entering the United States. This
gave the industry a great impetus
and in 1883, according to Mr. Bishop’s
figures, the output had jumped to
57.000 tons. From then on the in
crease was steady, with the excep
tion of the McKinley tariff years,
1889 and 1890, until it reached the
600.000 ton mark of today.
