SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 2S.-If the state
ments made to-day to Deputy Coroner
Steven Eden are true-and the indications
that such is the case are clear-highbinder
warfare, with its inevitable carnival Oh
murder and pillage, may be expected at
any minute to break out simultaneously
between rival Chinese clans on both sides
of the bay With this knowledge comes
confirmation Of the suspicious of the Ma
rim County authorities that Lee Doo
Teong, the Chinese found floating in the
bay at Sausalito last week, was murdered
and that Wong Ho his partner gave per
jured testimony in order to suppress an
investigation by the white devils.
Lee boo Teong's body was found hoat-
ing near the railway wharf at Sausallto
by Christian Ock, g. longshoreman, anu
an examination by the autopsy physician
showed that he had received deep
wound from some sharp instrument un-
der the left ear There was no water IN
the lungs, showing conclusiyeiy tnat
death did not result from drowning.
Wong Ho, fisherman from the Cnlnese
fshermen's camp at Point San PeoTo,
testified at the inquest that ne was the
dead mans partner, and that Ieong hao
come to his death near that place Two
weeks before by being knocked into the
water by the jibboom of a hshlng smack.
AS there was no evidence to, the con-
trary, the jury rendered verdict OF ac-
cidental death.
To-day two Influential members Of the
Ming Yung Society came to this city from
San Francisco and asked Deputy Coroner
Eden to take them to District Attorney
McIsaac. They asserted that last night
Wong Ho went to San Francisco and ad-
dressed a specially called meeting OF the
Ming Yungs, telling them that Lee Doc
Teong had been killed by Lin Hing Chlng,
a member of the See Yups, as the result
of a row over the merits Of their respec-
tive clans. The weapon used was sa1d 10
be boathook The two Chinese said that
If the District Attorney would cause the
immediate arrest Of Lin Ling CHING ana
prosecute him for murder highoinder
warfare might be averted; otherwise
disastrous feud between the See Yups ana
the Sam Yups-Ning Yungs all being Sam
Yup men-was likely to break out in the
Chinese quarter Of San Francisco ana at
Point San Pedro at any minute. Inc In,
formants declared that vengeance had
dered man and that they and his clans
men would endeavor to kill Lin Ling
Ching and the other three See Yups with
him in the boat at the time the deed was
committed.
District Attorney McIsaac was out Of
town and the Chinese failed in their, en-
deavor to hold a conference with him
They departed for San Francisco on the
delay probably meant death to some one.
Coroner Eden will himself officially ac-
quaint the District Attorney with the con-
Versation between his deputy and the two
Chinese, and 1t IS probable that Lee Lin
Ching will be arrested and prosecuted for
murder
The Chinese fishing camp at Point San
Pedro has always borne very hard name
and bloodshed there is of frequent occur
renee. There are about three hundred
refuge for lawbreakers in San Francisco,
who make 1t their hiding place until the
police grow lukewarm over their crimes,
when they return to the scene of their
