CHINESE TONG
SUES FOR PIPE
Seeks to Recover Dis
penser Of Happy
Dreams.
Claims the Loss Of Sacred
Relic Has Resulted in
Misfortune.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Dec. A historical opium
pipe, valued at $780, is the basis of a re-
pleVln suit filed in Justice RosenthaPs
court. Captain of Police Perry H. New
berry is the defendant, and the suit is
brought for the Boo Ong Tong, a Chinese
hlghbinder society, by Leon Poon, its
president. The pipe disappeared from
the society's possession Just after a
murder in Chinatown about two years
ago and later was presented to the police
captain. AT the time of the murder the
ploe was being smoked by All MIN, who
was killed by a bullet Tired through a
WlnqoW, and it is sald that blood was
purVeyOr OF dreams.
Ever since the pipe disappeared a num-
per OF attempts nave been made to OBJ
tain possession of it. once four Chinese
attempted to take it by force from the
Newberry home, and on two other oc-
cas1ons the family washman stole it, but
was captured before he got out of the
door. Now the courts have been resort
ed to to get possession of it.
Inc pipe is sacred relic, and, accord
ing to the Chinese, has been in the pos
session of some Boo Ong Tong for sew
eraI centuries. In the early 1ortieS the
pipe was brought to California and later
found its way to San Jose. 1t is one of
the most elaborate smoking articles of
the Kind ever seen in the State. The bowl
is knot of mahogany about the size of
a mans two fists, the knobs of the knot
bamboo, mounted with gold rings and
containing a fine amber mouthpiece, is
the stem. Its place is in the society
house, where the officers of the tong are
allowed to smoke it. During the past
two years the Boo Ong Tong has been
having bad luck, and the members at
tribute this to the disappearance of the
pipe.
| Captain Newberry has been offered 800
for the return of the pipe. but he has
refused to SELL The society does not

by other than fair means, but for the
welfare of the tong and it's members the

STEAMER GOES ASHORE.

SEATTLE. Dec. 4.-The steamer Clara
Brown. one of the largest stern-wheelers
on the Sound, was driven ashore at Al-Kf
Point last night at o'clock during the
gale which ragged all night. In trying to
round the Point on her usual trip to
Seattle from Tacoma, the steamer became
completely unmanageable and several
times was in imminent danger OF foun-
dering She finally drove up on the beach
p half mile south of the Point. The pas
sengers jumped overheard and made their
Way ashore through the surf. The beach,
fortunately, was sandy. The gale has
continued all day and the boat has been
saved, unless the gale becomes much

Caldwell left Tacoma early last evening
on her usual run to this city, knowing a
gale was coming, but not realizing what
its fury would be. 1t was blowing mod

and this speeded the vessel on her course.
Not long after leaving Tacoma the wind
shifted to the southwest and soon came
up a lively gale that was not long in
whipping up the sea. The vessel passed
Point Robinson lighthouse and rounded
into a long straight stretch of more than
twelve miles to Al-Ki Point. The sea was
pounding on the shore and breaking into
surf white and deep as big snowbanh
and the crew realized then that they
would have a spell of it when the time
came for rounding Al-Ki Point.
Long before the steamer reached the
fury of the gale almost made it impossi-
BILE to keep the boat on her course and up

MOBILES SEEK
EMPTY HONOR
Coronation Court Has
Weighty Questions
to Settle.
Chief Larderer's Occupation
Like Othello's, Is No
More.

LONDON, Dec. 4-The Court of Claims
which is dealing with the rights and priv
iliges relating to the coronation of
King Edward, met to-day in solemn state
in the council chamber Of Whitehall to
adjudicate between the mobiles who are
wrangling for ancient but generally
empty and often ludicrous honors.
Sixty cases came up, the most pronli
nent being the fight between the Duke Of
Atholl, the Earl of Ancaster. the Mar
quis of Cholmondeley and Earl Caring
ton for the Lord Great Chamberlainship.
This was too weighty for the court,
which passed it on to the House of Lords.
Several other cases were referred TO
committee, but the Earl of Enrol will be
permitted to walk in the coronation pro-
cession as Lord High Constable of Scot
land and carry a silver baton tinped
with gold bearing his own arms at one
end and the Kings at the other.
The claim for representation as Chief
Larderer was dismissed by the statement
that there will be no coronation banquet
and that hence there will be no Larderer.
Miss Beatrice Fellows, who desired to
perform the office of Herb-strewer, and
Sir Harrys BurraTd, who claimed the
right to carry the Kings bow and ar
rows, were informed that they would not
be wanted.
The Bishops of Durham and Bath, it
was decided, have the right to support
the King while he is on the throne, that
is to say, they will stand with their hands
on the back of the chair.
