CHINESE KILLED
BY HIGHBINDERS
Feud of Tongs Leads to
an Assassination.
Special Dispatch TO The Can.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 15.-Highbinder trou-
bles broke out afresh in the Sixth street
Chinatown this evening and resulted In
the assassination OF Gin Suey. a cook.
Six men entered the general merchan-
disc store OF Quong Chung Lung & Co.
They at once opened fire on Wong Ban.
bookkeeper Of the store. who seemed TO
be their especial target Revolvers load-
ed with bullets and buckshot were used.
but Ban escaped with only a slight scalp
wound from one buckshot
In the room were Wong Wah On. Wong
Chung, Gin Suey and Wong Sing. After
firing the first round OF shots the high
binders backed out Of the door and poured
a fusillade through the glass door and
window. Gin Suey was shot in the left
side, in range OF the heart, the bullet
passing through his body. He died in
stantly. The others escaped TO the rear
OF the store.
The arrival OF officers found no trace OF
the assassins. mammoth hOrse-pistol
from which had been fred buckshot was
picked up at the scene Of the shooting.
and the bullet marks showed that about
twenty shots had been fired.
The shooting was the result OF a long
standing feud between the Flip Sing Tong
and the Wong family. Daring the past
year no less than dozen shooting scrapes
have taken place between these factions
but this Is about the first fatality The
highbinders engaged In the shooting made
their escape from Chinatown on foot and
were seen making their way toward the

proclamation OF June Is, he freely ad-
mitted that no American had ever prom
ised him independence for his people.
As showing the bloody work OF the IN
surgents. Professor Worcester said:
AT the time left Manila the province
OF Batanbagas was overrun with thieves
and murderers. No attempt was beihg
made to enforce law and order. The pub
lie schools were abandoned. Forced con-
tributions were wrung from the people at
the bayonet point. until many were
ruined. Unwilling contributors had been
punished by having their hands hacked
off and even by being buried alive. The
individual houses in such important towns
as Taal were intrenched in order that the
Inhabitants might defend themselves
against their neighbors The military
governor of the province, although Ia
gallo and an insurgent, had characterized
the condition existing as complete an
archy,' and had repeatedly sent in secret
10 Manila asking for aid 10 restore order.
and promising to surrender with his
troops II we would only dispatch a small
force TO his aid.
Those who affect to believe that we
are creating bloody disorder by our pres
ence in the Philippines; that the natives
would continue to hate us II we gave
lie better off under a very bad government
OF their own than very good one admin
istered in part by ours, and that the only
logical and honorable course open 10 us
Is to withdraw our forces and leave the
peaceable and law-ablding natives OF the
Philippine Islands at the mercy OF Aguin-
aldo and his army. may be sincere in
their convictions, but by freely giving
voice to them they are encouraging the
ambitious Tagalo leader TO prolong
hopeless struggle. The prolongation OF
this struggle is costing us millions OF dol
lars, and what is far worse, good red
American blood. Let history fix the re-
sponsibility for IT.
Those OF us who believe the flag should
stay in the East. and that under its shad-
ow we should patiently teach 10 our new
wards the lessons they must learn ere
they can take their place in the great
family of nations as a free and united
people. should stand shoulder to shoulder.
There is work for us to do. Let those
scoff who will. The future of 100000 of
human beings and the honor of a great
nation are in our keeping. and the eyes
of the world are upon US. Let US not
prove unfaithful TO our trust

WORCESTER UPHOLDS
THE PHILIPPINE POLICY

member of the Philippine Commission.
spoke at Central Music Hall tonight
upon THE Philippine Question"
The address, which was delivered under
the auspices of the Hamilton Club. To-
cal Republican organization. was received
with every manifestation Of approval Mr.
Worcester followed in the main the line
Of argument regarding the retention OF
the Philippines which had been published
in the report of the Philippine Commits
sion.
Professor Worcester said at the outset
that the issues raised by the Philippine
question, directly or indirectly, were more
important, more far-reaching in their
consequences than any other nation has
been called upon TO meet since it's birth
He deprecated the idea OF those willing
to make party politics of questions which
involve the well being and the future des-
tiny OF millions of their fellow beings.
Proceeding. he said:
''If all the accusations brought by those
who declaim against our so-called crime

against the people OF those islands

facts often quoted in support of these Sc
rious charges and scrutinize them some

animation wholly dispassionate"
Professor Worcester then took up vari-
Gus arguments presented against the
American policy in the Philippines. and
quoting from Senate documents, from the
proclamations Of Aguinaldo and from a
mass of official evidence. most OF which
has been made public. answered the sew
eral criticisms. His answers were direct

notwithstanding DR.. Jordan's refusal to
commit himself on the subject II is a fact
that the acquisition of large amount of
ready money at this time will be of ines
tmable value to the institution over

means for the immediate erection OF
new buildings and II will allow of the or

dan is not in favor OF the forcing process.
He believes in a gradual enlargement and
upbuilding Of the university on a sure
substantial foundation, and while few
new departments may be added within a
short time, there will be no hurry and no
forcing
One OF the first things that will be done
in the way of enlarging the university
will be the completion of the outer
quadrangle in accordance with the
original plans. Two of these buildings,

voted TO history and literature and the
other TO physics and psychology. The
new chapel is also well under way and is
