"RED DEVILS IN CHINATOWN

Jong Ming and the allegation that the
Chinese merchants contributed money
to the police for gambling privileges,
that gambling is going on and declar-
ing that il must be stopped, are what
some of the astOnished denizens of
Plum alley found pasted on their door
posts yesterday morning. The blood

Jealous because he cannot be the high

of the leading Cinnamon, translated

paid it to the police so that the latter
would allow them to run gambling

expressed it, Ming no good
Ching and some of the other China
men admitted that gambling had been
going on in the alley, even up to four
or five days ago, but declared that 1t
had stopped and that they were going
to send some Cinnamon TO the Chris

it had stopped.
The trouble all arose, Ching claimed,

Cinnamon would not stand, because
they were all equal and would not be

that the authorities had no right tC
close up their gambling houses unless
they closed up the others, too.
