GIN WAH A HIGHLANDER
HE HAS THE CHINESE COLONY IN
THIS CITY TERRORIZED.
Boldly Told the Police He Hnd Been
Robbed, When He ReaIIy Was
the AggressOr.

About $3.50 o'clock last night Chlnaman,
giving the name of Moy Wah, ran excitedly
into The police station and asked that
officer hurry to the Quong Lee laundry and
Chinese grocery. 2lS North Delaware street,
and arrest man who had robbed and
saulted him. He showed a slight scratch
above his left eye, and said he had lost $50
He claimed that he and other Chinaman
were playing fan-tan. He had played four
hands and had won s25, and had $50 in paper
before him. He said that Chinaman
whose name he did not know, reached over
the table. grabbed the roll of bills and
struck him.
An hour later Moy Sing, manager of the
Quong Lee establishment, called at the
police station. He was accompanied by
Fort Yum, one of his employees The lat
ter was covered with Blood He had re-
ceived blow in the mouth which knocked
several teeth out. The blood had dried
his face and hands, and he presented a
sickening sight. Moy Sing has lived in this
city for twenty-six years and is regarded
by the police as a reliable man. He told
quite a different story of the trouble be-
tween the two men. In the first place he
was indignant that the first Cninaman
should have used the name of Moy. The
first name of a Chinaman is the patronymic
ana MOy sing ulu not ike the lQea OF the
other fellow giving Moy's family name
He said the mans name was Gin Wah, that
he had been staying about this city for
year and was regarded by the Cinnamon as
a highlander. They all feared him. He
said that Fort Yum was lying on couch
smoking when Gin Wah came into the room
and hit him with slung shot and took
$l4 from him.
Gin Wah has made complaints to the po-
lice before about his countrymen. About
a month ago, when the Cinnamon of this
and surrounding cities were celebrating
their new year at the Quong Lee eStab-
lishment, he ran into police headquarters at
roll call one Sunday evening and gave the
fan-tan in progress at the Quong Lee place.
Captain Dawson, several sergeants and a
detail of patrolmen surrounded the place.
They were admitted after some slight de-
lay, and found about fifty Cinnamon there,
but there was no evidence of gambling and
no arrests were made. The police are in
clined to give little credit to anything told
them by Gin Wah; The other Cinnamon
say he is highlander, and that
he lives off them by keeping them in fear of
him. They say he informed on them for
gambling out of spite. For a long time after
he gave the police that information he was
not permitted to enter the QUong Lee place,
but recently, either through fear or because
of an apparent disposition on his part to
treat his countrymen better, he was allowed
again to mingle with his countrymen on the
occasions of their festivities.
Moy Sing declares that no gambling is
permitted in his place. The place is sorN
of a rendezvous for the Cinnamon of thSb
city and from other cities They gather
there on Sunday nights and enjoy them
selves after the weeks abOrS.
