TAKEN UP BY LEGATION
MURDER OF DOC LUNG INVESTIGAT.
ED BY CHINESE AGENT.
kee OwyanE, Vice Consul at Wash.
ingtOn, Here to Confer with PO-
lice Authorities.

The Chinese legation at Washington has
taken up the murder of Don Gum Chong
known here as Doc Lung. which occurred
in his laundry on Indiana avenue, near
Illinois street. last May For particular in
formation the Chinese charge at Washing
ton, Shen Tung, who is soon to be re-
lieved by the successor of WI Tingfang,
sent to this city Kee Owyang, who is vice
consul of the Chinese government at
Washington. Kee Owyang was in the
city yesterday investigating the case. he
called on Captain Gerber, of the detective
force, and Mayor Bookwalter. The re-
mainder of the day he spent with Chinese
of the city, mostly with Moy jim Kee,
Chlnaman who has a restaurant in East
Washington street.
Mr.. Kee said his visit here was to ascer-
tain If all had been done that should be
TO discover the murderer of Doc Lung, and
If anything had been omitted he was to
urge that it be given immediate attention.
He said he was satisfied from talks with
Captain Gerber. Mayor Bookwalter and
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus that everything
had been done. and that the authorities
had worked faithfully to discover the gull
ty party. Mr.. Kee said he was we'll in
formed as TO the case, as all the papers
containing accounts of it had been sent
to the Chinese embassy, and had been
turned over to him.
INQUIRY BEING MADE.
Mr.. Kee is not connected with the lega-
ton at Washington, but is directed to con-
duct the investigation because of his famil-
iarity with American police and court
methods. He is man of about thirty,
and is well educated in both English and
Chinese, though his pronunciation has not
the Anglo-Saxon characteristics that are
noted in the suave Moy jim Kee. Mr.. Kee
left for Washington last night.
The sudden appearance of Kee Owyane
on this mission is said to have been caused
by the efforts of the Chinese of this city
and Chicago to have further inquiry made
as to the Doc Lung murder. Many OF
the Chinese of the city have held from
the first that Doc Lung was killed by q
negro. Chin Hee, a Chinese who had worked
for Lung, was arrested, but was discharged
by the grand jury, as the purely circum.
stantial evidence against him was INSULT.
cient to procure indictment. 1t was
thought complications might follow the
arrest. Kee Owyang said yesterday thai
| there was no question of reparation to CHR

Since the arrest of Chin Hee the police

WILL NOT GIVE UP.


The Governors office has been informed
that Coroner w. p. Maxwell, of Sullivan,
made a demand of former Sheriff John s..
Dudley yesterday afternoon that the office
of sheriff be turned over to him as the law
prescribes. Heretofore Mr.. Dudley has
failed to comply with the statute which
sets out that a deposed sheriff must give
over at once to the coroner of the county.
When the demand was made by the cor
oner Dudley at once consulted his attor-
neys, who II is said, advised him to post
pone his decision for a day at least. Dud-
ley then informed Maxwell that he would
give him his decision to-day. Coroner
Maxwell is given TO understand by Sullivan
people that Dudley does not intend 10 re-
lnquish his office.
1t is expected that John S. Bays, of Sulli-
van, representing Dudley. will at once file
an appeal in the courts from the Cover
nor's decision, basing il on points of uncon-
stitutionality of the law

MIR. MARSHALL BESIEGED.
Candidates for Places i'm the House
Surround Him.

Since the solution of the speakership
question, conceding the election of Repre-
sentative Marshall of Lafayette, the men,
bers of the House have been quietly slip
ping into the city to confer with the
speaker-to-be about committee assign
ments and the division of the patronage.
Mr.. Marshall has been fairly besieged with
these delicate attentions and the situation
has become such that he has found it ex-
pedient to absent himself from his usual
haunts as much as possible and he is no
longer the familiar figure about the hotel
corridors and the clubs that he was few
days ago.
Mr.. Marshall is not only sought by the
members of the House. but by the candi-
dates for appointments and their friends,
and he is finding that there is some dis
comfort well as satisfaction in being
virtually chosen speaker ten days before
the session opens. The number of candi-
dates for places in the force of the House
is astounding to those who have never been
through session. There fully five
hundred men, women and boys who think
that they entitled to positions as
clerks. doorkeepers, stenographers or pages
and they press their claims assiduously.
When ii is remembered that there are con-
siderably less than one hundred places to
be filled the embarrassment of the speaker
and the members is easily seen.
Among the candidates for principal door
keeper of the House is William t. Murray.
of Connersyille, who served in that
capacity two years ago.
Representative Marshall is not alone in
his troubles, as Lieutenant Governor Gil
bert. who has been here for the past two
days, has had his share of visitations from
Republican members of the Senate who are
naturally somewhat interested i'm the COM
mittee appointments they will receive
Nearly every senator is interested i'm some
special matter OF legislation and is anxious
to get on the committee that will consider
it, consequently they are all anxious TO
see the lieutenant governor before the ses-
sion opens. One of the committees, that
on rules, has been appointed for some weeks
and has done practically all the work that
| will be required of IL, but the names OF the
members have not been given out.
