"A JAP AND A CHINAMAN.
Engage In a Fight and Spill Each
Others Blood.

War, bloody and vicious, broke out
this morning between China and Japan
in the kitchen of the Grand Central
dining rooms on Ell Paso street, owned
and managed by Jake McMarling, an
almond-eyed son of the Orient who
has become sufficiently Americanized
to adopt an Irish name, although the
English language ia still q serious
milling block ior him.
Jake hardly knows how it happened,
but two of his employees, Jap named
Lu Ne Shu and Chinaman known as
Joe got into difficulty about O'Clock
this morning and but for the timely in
reference of Officers Winkler and
Clemmous, who were called in by other
employees of the restaurant, the fight

term 'a mean little fght.''
The weapons used we're glass

other with the rapidity of mschiEe
guns, both getting in several effective
shots.
Broken glass cut a small artery on
the bridge of Joe's nose, which bled
until he was too weak to stand alone,
and Lu was found to have sustained q
bad cut on the back of his head. The
officers called in Dr.. Bush to attend to
the wounded. Both men bled SO pro-
fusely that the room in which he affair
took place resembled a slaughter-pen
and the floor was strewn with pieces of
broken glass.
Lu and Joe we're placed under arrest
and taken to the police station, where a
ch arge of fighting was entired against
them. They we're released upon their
own recogpizance and will have their
hearing at 5 O'Clock this evening.
1t is hoped that no international COM

Until recently he headed the direct

for many days death lowered over him.
He lay in his mansion at Fifth avenue

His physicians said that alb
solute quiet was impera-
tive and, as their patient
could not be moved, measures were
taken to reduce the noise in the streets
outside the mansion to a minimum.

Mrs. Vanderbilt, Reginald, Mr.. Van
derbilt's youngest son, and Gladys, his
youngest daughter.

pleased his father, was not at the
dying mans bedside. A second stroke
Of paralysis followed by heart failure

bilt mansion this morning. He said
that his brother died of heart failure
following an attack of paralysis. Four
were sent for, but only one,
DR.. Brown, responded.

len and unexpected,' said Mr.. Van
