LAUNDRY TRUST FAILS.
Hebrew and Chinese Rivals Tired OF
Washing at Cut Rates.

New York. Nov. 11-When the Dop
Sang Kong Saw was founded IN TINS
city on September 20 for the sole pur-
pose of obtaining for the 'HeaUnen
Chinee" the exclusive control OF the
laundry business in this city, the
Chinese Six Companies, who were at the
back of the movement little realized
what they were running against.
The Dop Sang Kong saw IN pam
English is the Chinese Laundrymen
union, and when it was organized the
time was supposed to be ripe Tor the
accomplishment of its object because
there was a big strike of the American
laundry employees in progress me urSL
thing that the promoters of the Chlnese
union did was to make overtureS 10
the promoters of the laundrles whose
employees were on strike to replace the
strikers with Chinese workers at re
duced wages. Some of the Chlnese
were hired but their employers soon
found that they would not do, and that
if they retained them they would soon
own the laundries.
Then the Chinese union established
large number of small laundries prln-
cipally on the East side, to run out the
other laundries that were in existence
there. The Cinnamon reckoned without
their host, however, when they tried TO
drive out of the business the Hebrew
laundries, for they found that from a
business point of view the East SIDE
Hebrew Iaundrymen were fighters from
way back. But it was then too late TO
withdraw from the conflict, and Tor
several months it Waged with eVer-lh-
creasfng force.
At last cutting prices was resorted to,
and both the Hebrew and the Chlnese
laundries daily put out new bulletins
giving a new scale of prices for wash
ing shirts and other things. Puilers-
i'm were even used to stand in front OF
the rival laundries, and the Chinese
laundrymen offered to "washee SHIRT
whilee wait-fvee cent" The Hebrew
laundry "pullers-in'' were not to be out
done, and they used to stand outside
and shout:

The laundryman's war waged merr1ly
along, but the rival Iaundrymen did not
wax fat. The Hebrews were unable TO
buy much kosher meat and the China
men were unable to eat chop suey and
sport about Chinatown on Sundays.
Last week the war reached a climax,
but not before it was evident that both
sides were tired of it.
The end, though, came earlier than 1t
had been expected Yesterday a rep
resentative of the Dop Sang Kong Saw

FORTUNE IN PIPES.
Arthur Won Giegligen Spent Half a
Century Collecting Bowls in Rare
and Curious Designs.

Oakland, Calf, Nov. 1.-THE bulk OF
the estate of the late Arthur Won Gieg-
ligen who committed suicide about six
weeks ago, consists of a collection of
pipes, which is probably the finest col
lection of the kind on the coast, and one
pursued his peculiar fad, with the result
that today the collection numbers many
hundreds and is valued at many thOus-
and dollars.
October 10 the last will Of Won Geig-
hgen was filed for probate in the Supe-
riOr court by GeOrgiana Won Giegligen
and Ernest Emmrick, who are named
in the will as executors. The widow
and three grown children are the leg
atees. In addition to the collection Of
pipes, of which the value is unknown to
the petitioners, the estate consists OF
twenty shares Of Pacific States Savings,
Loan and Building company, valued at
81 OO0 and 1ewelry valued at $100
One estimate of the value of the pipes
fixes it at 81 900. but another says that
in the right market it Svould bring twice
that sum. The collection comprises
pipes of almost every kind of material
and workmanship and from every cOun-
try. There are meerschaums, some OF
them perfectly colOred. These comprise
the most valuable portion of the col
lection. Every pipe has its own his
tory. Besides these there are briars,
blackthOrns, and a great many other
kinds of wood pipes, some of them
homemade; porcelain bowls, and even
clay pipes of rare design. Some or
them cost large sums of money, and
matters. What will now become of the
collection is a matter Of speculation,
but they should yield a small fortune
to the heirs.

SUBWAY TRUST RIVAL.
$4,000 to Be Invested by a New
York Corporation.

New York, Nov n--Twenty-f1ve mil
lion dollars is a large sum of money. When
it is given as the capital stock of a new
| business corporation it sets Wall street
wondering. The New York Gas and
Electric Light, Heat and Power company
was incorporated with the secretary of
state in Albany on October 8, and Wall
street has been wondering ever since
Everyone knew that the incorporato tors
named in the papers weue dummies
The only way that Wall street could fig
ure out the new combination was that it
had to do with the consolidation of the
Westinghouse and Walker Electric COM
panies, the combined capital of which was
given out to be s25. 10000.
But the atmosphere is beginning to
clear and the new corporation is seen to
have, to do with the subway monopoly
which is a vital question in New York.
Telephone tolls quickly could be reduced
II the concerns willing to invest their
money c0uld ma a place to bury their
wires. The old subways are full, and
new concerns are out in the cold.
The latest corporation to start a fight
against the monopoly is the Peoples Tele-
OF $5,O0GOOO which promises to reduce the
annual charges in Manhattan to 800 and
Wall street was full Of rumors yester-
day concerning the new 81, 100000 COM
control the Consolidated Telegraph and
Electric Subway company, which has it's
companies-at No. Is Dey street. As this
story ran, the new company would in
merit Ihe subway monopoly
An officer of the Consolidated Telegraph
and Electrical Subway Company said
what 1 hear today is that the New
York, Gas and Electric Light, Heat and
Power company is to use its so. 900, 900 to
combine the plants of the Empire City
subway company and the Metropolitan
Traction company.
Let me explain: The Consolidated has
the conduits for the high tension wires
the electric lights and all that sort of
thing. The Empire City has the conduits
for all the low tension wireS-the tele-
phones and telegraphs-au the wires that
would not work in the electric light con-
Quits.
las everybody knows, the Metropolitan
Traction company has been forced to build
many miles of new conduits in making
the change Of motive power from cable to
underground trolley. They are in shape
to accommodate any corporation needing
conduits-tO take care of the people who
have been crowded out of the Consolidat-
ed and Empire City.
What is to be done, as I understand it,
IS this: The new corporation will CONSOLE
date the Metropolitan Traction conduits
with those of the Empire City, and will
operate both. As the name of their COM
pany implies, they may look after the
gas companies as well the electrical,
and take wires for light, heat and power.
1t is a corporation about which a great
deal will be heard later But, as I
say, it has nothing to do with the Con-
sOlidated.'

No. 155 Rivington street, and requested
a cessation of hOstilities until some
agreement could be reached between
the Hebrew and Chinese rivals in trade.
The Chinese have a business agent
named Joe Lee, who was instrumental
in bringing the war to a close. In fact,
he was the chief peace commissioner for
the willy Children of the Sun.
The Chinese delegation has invited
the Hebrew laundrymen to a. conference
to be held in the Joss House, No. 16
Mott street, tonight. The invitation has
been accepted, and a large committee
appointed by the Hebrew Laundrymen's
association. It's members will march
down to the Joss House in a body. The
object of the conference is to fix a, reg

better than those that preceded it.
Four hundred and fifty water colors,
pastels, and miniatures are exhibited
here, and a good proportion Of these
have merit. The hanging committee,
too, has done its work well, for the pic
lures are hung discreetly and harmon

worthy can be seen to good advantage

The view of the result of the recent
election, expressed by Mr. Babcock,
chairman of the Republican congress
sional committee is, that no needed or
expected legislation was involved, but
that the people merely wished to en-

Mckinley. In other words, they wished
to express their content with things as
they are. 1t viii be well for congress to
