Captain Henderson cheered them as much
as the clrcunls tances would permit The
greater part Of the time they could not
see land, owing TO the fog. The boat was

CHINESE THREATEN REVENGE
They Claim That q Brooklyn Laun-

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-Chinese friends
OF Lin NeUy, the Brooklyn laundryman
wno died in the Hudson Street Hospital on
Monday afternoon from revolver wound
in the abdomen, which he received at II
Mott Street, this city, do not believe that
he took his own life, as was reported TO
the police They say that he was muir
dered for his money. and that they have a
good idea who did it They have so little
faith in American police and courts that
they are rot likely TO protest to the au~
thorities and the suicide theory viii prob
ably go down il the official records. The
Chinese say they viii take care OF the al
legged murderer in their own way, and that
Neuy's death viii ne avenged.
Lin Neuy had been in the laundry bust
ness at 152 Park Avenue Brooklyn, for sew
eral years, and made arrangements to sell
out last week He was paid several hum
dred dollars on the purchase price Monday
morning. The payment was made at the
store of zee Hing Ling II Mott Street
this city, and Neuy left part of his money
there on deposit. He ate dinner al d Chi
neSe restaurant and about o'clock went
TO a house in the rear of II Mott Street.
He talked for while with a woman who
lives IL room 10. and was seen there by
some of his cOunJrymen. They aver that he
showed & roll OF money. and that some of
the white men who hang about the resort
learned of il.
The Chinese believe that he was shot
by one of these men. but they Will not
give any names. The Chinese say that
three shots were fired one Of which made
the abdominal wound which caused Neuy' s
death They say that the revolver was
thrown down an airshaft by the murderer
while making his escape.

Elizabeth Street station heard the shots,
and on entering the building found Neuy
lying in the hallway. The Chinaman re-
fused to say how he received his wound
and did not want 10 be taken 10 t1e hos
pital. A revolver with one chambtr dis
charged was on the floor. An ambulance
was called. however. and Neuy was sent
to the hospital against his will. The wom-
en- and men who live in the house said
they knew nothing about the affair, and
denied acquaintance with Neuy. Later the
police are said to have found three Chi
nese alleged friends of the dead man, who
said that he had shot himself The rea,
son they gave for the suicide was that
Neuy was in love with white girl who
would have nothing to do with him.
When asked why the police would report
a suicide if murder had really been COM
mitted one Of Neuy's friends said; THE
police want to keep things quiet down here.
They get big sums of money for keeping
still about lots of things. The people who

Twenty Tons of Metal Released by
Exploding Gases.
CHESTER, Pa, Aug, Z2.-The entire low
er end of the city of Chester was startled
yesterday morning by three sharp and dis
tinct explosions at the Tidewater Steel
Company's plant at the foot of Wilson
Street.
The explosion was caused by a break in
the side Of the blast furnace, which lib
Grated twenty tons of molten iron This
metal ran all over the place in water and
wet sand and caused the other explosions
and set the cast house of the furnace on
fire. The men were unable to get into the
cast house for half an hour after the ex-
plosion. The loss will amount to thou
sands of dollars. and if it is found neces-
sary to put the furnace out of blast it will
be much greater.
Superintendent Thompson hopes to be
able to make the necessary repairs with
the furnace banked. and he has his men at
the work. The break was caused by the
explosion of eoufned gases in the furnace
Fortunately at he time there was not a
man in the locality of the break or there
would have been loss Of life.
