Sneak in Chinese for Atlanta Exposition Fraud Exposed
San Francisco collectors expose an ingeniously devised scheme smuggling about 900 Chinese as supposed skilled actors to the United States. A band of over 200 men and 34 women landed at Victoria, with operations led by Little Pete and Leong Nam. Applicants seek entry at Ogden, claiming legitimate actors while inspectors will assess deportment in Atlanta. Evidence suggests most men seek labor in the U S and women were bought in Hong Kong for 690 dollars each to be sold at Atlanta for 1800. If landed, masterminds could earn about 40,000 while women face lifelong servitude in Chinatown after the exposition.
