ment is said to have been issued in de-
flance of legal right and for the purpose

Little Pete's Partner Suspected Of
the Acts


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-The high
binders Of Chinatown are getting poor
and they blame the Chinese Society for
English Education for some Of their
poverty. That is the reason they wrote
this letter:
Lately having learned that the Chi
nese Society for English Education has
retained an attorney to prevent Chinese
women from landing and have made
efforts to deport them to China there is
in consequence Of this a great loss OF
our blood money. AS you are all Christ
ianized people you should do good deeds,
but If you keep up this work the lives of
our several people will not be able to live
longer than this present month.
your dying day Is surely on hand"
To this is appended the names Of the
men whose blood will be spilled: Dear
Woo, Lee Hem, Ong Ling Foon, Ching
Fong, Chin Ming Sex, Hoo Yee Him.
The doomed men are prominent mer-
chants and interpreters. most Of them
being connected with Christian missions
here. It Is said that others are also
doomed and that twelve highbinders
have been brought from Sacramento,
San Jose and Los Angeles to do the work.
The English Educational society will
continue it's work in this city notwith-
standing the threats. The members are
inclined to regard the letter as the work
of Quan Lem, the partner Of the late
Little Pete"
