Nellie Bray, handsome girl, 10 years
of age, created sensation on Polk street,
between Grove and Fulton, about IL
O'Clock last night by shrieking loudly and
endeavoring to beat in a door with her
clenched hands.
Two young men spoke to her. and she
said she had swallowed dose of arsenic.
They ran her to the Receiving Hospital,
where DR.. Berry promptly administered
the usual remedies, but to his surprise she
gave no sign OF arsenic poisoning, and he
came TO the conclusion that she had swal-
lowed a harmless decoction under the i'm
preston that it was arsenic.
The girl said she had purchased the
drug in a store on Taylor and Turk streets
or Saturday night. She was living at 12S
Taylor street, and had become tired of
life because man had been persistently
following her. She saw him following
her last night on Polk street and swal-
lowed the drug.
The true cause of her foolish desire to
end her life was atterward learned. She

OUT ON STRIKE.
Difficulty With Chinese
Shirt-Makers.
They Threaten the Life of Their
Foreman Because He Would Not
Quit Work With Them.

There is trouble brewing in Chinatown,
all on account of disagreement between
Chinese union and non-union shirtmakers.
The labor organizations cherished and
fostered among the Mons oliaus are moth
ing more nor less that secret brotnerhoods
formed for the purpose of protecting the
interests of its members. by lawful means
when possible. and by bloodshed and
murder if necessary. They are for the
most part made up of highbiDders of the
most desperate type and the present i'm
pending trouble, it is thought, will end in
general waTlike outbreak. if the police
relax their vigilance for a moment. A
ful-fledged Chinese strike is now on, and
il is The first OF its kind.
For some time past white firm con-
Quoting a shirt factory at Battery and Pine
streets has been employing members of
the Chinese labor union 80 sewers. Quite
recently the firm decided to put in new
and improved machinery and retain about
twenty OF tile Chinese at the union rate of
wages. For some reason or other hitch
occurred in the arrangement. Some Of the
Chinese objected TO the machinery and
others we're dissatisfied with their wages.
and the result was that a strike was or
dered. The mon obeyed promptly, but

the strike there would be a strange face In
the other world within twenty-four hours.
The foreman was not to be bluffed, and
angered the blood-thirsty shirt-makers all
the more by promptly engaging non-union
men to perform the work.
Sergeant Gillen was notified of the i'm
pending trouble and for several days has
been keeping strict watch on the turbu-
lent strikers. They have enlisted quite a
number of highblnders lately from the in
terror in their cause, and it is expected
that hatchet-w Yielding will be the order of
the day.
Sergeant Gilen has endeayored to con-
vince Chin Man that warrants should be
sworn out. but the latter is fearful that
such action would arouse the members
not already implicated to such an extent
that his position would be made vacant
through death in very short order. How

the police will take hand and Jail the
