In San Francisco on February 14, a long battle to expose and prosecute the Chinese girl slave trade gains momentum thanks to Miss Donaldina Cameron. Her raids, rescues, and guardianship work in Chinatown have freed hundreds, with Lim Ysue aiding authorities by testifying against a Buddhist priest and tong leaders. The scheme involves Americanized Chinese buying wives in the Orient, then reselling and exploiting victims for profit. Lim Tsuie, worth $3600 to her buyer, earned over $20,000 before rescue.
