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

secret society now peluOn.ug The EN-
scuuye Council for a charter, seeks to
hide i1s true character and objects by
misstaaemend, Yesterday the Adver-
tiser published translation OF The
rules drawn for the government OF the
DARK lantern tong
Attorney Henshall, counsel for the
Bow Wong Wi attacks me Adver-
Users facts in a cOmmun .cAIon IN the
Star last evening in which he says:
THE Advertiser Is attempting TO
connect the Bow Wong Progressive
Association OF The H1w4.lan Islands,
with some other and entirely different
Chinese socieIy. Tue rules printed by
Lhe Advertiser have nothing whatever
10 do with dle Chinese Society now
applying for a charter. The sJclA.y
has no ARTICLES, rules or bylaws as YET,
the same not having been prepared.
Attorney Hen1Aa.l IS probably lgnOr-
ant OF uhe truth. The Advertiser in
yestigaled the Bow wong Wi thor
oughIy before attacking 1t as a high
binder clique. The published tran5Ia-
tion was made by Leung Kwai Fun,
official Interpreter for the Chinese
Consul, In the middle of February,
when the rules were printed for the
Bow Wong Wi in Chinese by Uhe Ha-
wall Chinese News Company. The
manuscript OF Jne rules was taken to
Che news company and delivered to
Chez YDt Kai, editor OF the Chinese
News by DR.. Ii Kai Fee, one of The
advisory committee of the Bow Wong
WuI. G.. Ylck Nam, chief secretary OF
the Wm, took away the Drln.ed copies
of the rules, and they are now being
distributed. The Advertiser has copies
in Chinese and EngAlh, and is p. epar-
ed to refute the statement THAT the
rules printed by the Advertiser have
nothing whatever 10 do wluh the Bow
Wong Wui."
The Executive Council before which
the application of the Chinese tong
was made, knows the Truth OF the mat
ter. On March 20, Uhe following letter
was addressed TO the Council by the
