Death Threatened Chinese Consul If
He Fights the Secret So
ciety's Charter.

secret society now p5CtiOn.ng The EX-
ecutive Council for charter, seeks to
hide its true character and objects by
missGatement. Yesterday the Adver-
tiser published a translation Of the
rules drawn for the government Of the
dark-lantern tong.
Attorney Henshall, counsel for the
Bow Wong Wul attacks the Adver-
ti5er's facts in a communication in the
Star last evening in which he says:
The Advertiser is attempting to
connect the Bow Wong Progressive
Association of the Hawaiian Islands
w.Jh some other and entirely diffGrent
Chinese society. The rules printed by
the Advertiser have nothing whatever
% do with Jle Chinese Society now
applying for a charter. The society
has no articles. rules or bylaws as YET,
ohe same not having been prepared.
Attorney HenEla.l is probably ignOr-
ant Of the truth. The Advertiser in
vestiga,ed the Bow " Cng Wui thor
Oughly before attacking II as a high
binder clique. Tle published trlnsla-
zion was made by LeunS Kwai Fun,
Official Interpreter for the Chinese
Consul, in the middle Of February.
when the rules were printed for the
Bow Wong Wui in Chinese by ule Ha-
wall Chinese News Company. The
manuscript of TIE rules was taken T.
,he news company and delivered to
Chez Yit Kai, editor of the Chinese
News by DR.. Ii Kai Fee, one Of the
advisory committee of the Bow Wong
Wui. G. Yick Nam, chief secretary Of
the Wui. took away the prin,ed copies
of the rules, and they are now being
distributed. The Advertiser has copies
in Chinese and English, and is prepar-
ed to refute the statement that the
rules printed by the Advertiser have
nothing whatever to do with the Bow
Wong Wui."

the application Of the Chinese tong
was made, knows the Uruyh of the mat
