A Chinese Murder

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l3.-Chung Yet
Den, Chinese tailor, 80 years of age and a
member of the See Yup, was shot and killed
about s o'clock at the Chinese theater on
Jackson street. The police have no clew to
the murderer. Two shots were fired One
passed through the victims body and the
other lodged in the back of the bench on
which he sat. In the general commotion that
followed the shooting the murderer escaped
through the stage entrance of the theater
into Fish alley.
The murder of Chung Yet Den is the third
of its kind within the past two months, and
was the outcome of feud now existing be-
tween the unionists and non-unionists of
the Chinese quarters. The factions are or
ganized under the general heads OF the Sue
Wings and the Sue Sings. Originally they
were one, but disagreement as to rates of
wages caused a disruption, the dissatisfied
element banding together and calling them
selves yongs. 1t was of this yong the Jmur-
dered man was a member. If it be ascer-
tanned that the murderer affiliated with the
Sings, the police expect general outbreak.
