CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-In placing in the
County Jail, on charge CT arson. an
Hong. alias Hong hon. and Hong Sin,
alias All Hong Sling, United States Fire
Inspector Cowie and Fire Marshal Con-
way have broaght on fierce fight De-
tween themselves and the police, on one
hand. and some of the most influential
Cinnamon in the United States, the prlS-
oners being among them, on the other
hand. To-day notices were posted In
Chinatown Offering $500 to any Chinaman
who would kill either Mr. Conway or Mr..
Cowie. As soon as the fact became
known Chief of Police KiDley notified
Sam Moy and Hip Lung that he would
hold them personally responsible for the
safety Of the TWO officials whose lives have
been threatened.
Sam Moy and Hip Lung are the richest
celestials in Chicago, and for years they
have ruled supreme among their country
men in Chicago. Mr.. Conway aud MI
Cowie are determined 90 convict the prls-
oners, against whom the most overwhelm-
ing evidence exists.
When Hong Sling was taken into Gus
tody thrty-four annual passes on differ
ent American railroads were found in his
possession, which fact. Mr. Cowie states,
indicates that he has bean engaged in
smuggling Cinnamon into the United
States on large scale. The passes were
made out in the name of All Hong Sling.
To-day Mr.. Cowie found it necessary to
go into Chinatown to get witnesses, who
had notified him that they feared their
lives were not safe. Altogether he has
eight witnesses. and says they are in safe
keeping and will be kept from coming in to
contact with their countrymen until after
the arson trial is over.
While in Chinatown Inspector COwie
was told by one of his witnesses thatat an
open meeting of Cinnamon in the morning
a reward Of $500 had been offered to any,
one who would kill Inspector Cowie or
Conway or three of the witnesses. Notices
to that effect were posted through China
town directly after the meeting. The
Cinnamon told Mr.. Cowie that it meant
sure death to pull down any of the notices.
but nevertheless the inspector was soon in
possession OF them. He Immediately had
it translated. Translated il reads as fol-
lows.
To all Cinnamon: We swear by all the
Chinese gods tnat the sum of $500 will be paid
to any Chinaman who sends death TO either
of the men known as INSPECTOR Conway or TO
any three OF our countrymen who intend to
assist In the prosecution Of men of their race.
Death and fire will surely be given 10 him who
betrays or takes down this notice.
1t is claimed the two Cinnamon have
fired stores in Salt Lake City and other
western cities as well as in Chicago.
