CHINESE War
DECLARED OFF
Hop Sings and Suey Sings
Confer and Now Quiet
Reigns in Yellow Quarter

The slight Mongolian unpleasantness
existing between the Hop Sing and
Suey Sing tongs was amicably settled
yesterday afternoon. A meeting was
called at 1 p. m. by the officials of the
See Yup Society, and the highbinder
diplomats succeeded in showing each
tong in turn that it's rival had got
the worst of the quarrel and that it
therefore should treat its adversary
with consideration.
A Suey Sing man lost his cue-most
terrible calamity-and a Hop Sing man
got his in the form of close fore
head shave with a pistol ball or two.
Considering that the honOrs of warfare
were about even, the bloodthirsty Ce-
lestials chose the better course-peace.
No money changed hands in the deal.
but it was agreed that each tong
should present a partial atonement for
the humiliation suffered by him who
lost his cue and him who was shaved
with lead, a huge roast pig.
The extra police have been with
drawn from Chinatown and the gun
men" of the two tongs are once more
seen In the streets. Official proclama-
tions Of peace were posted yesterday
on the walls in the yellow quarter" q"
Although this difficulty has been set
tied, there Is a rumor about Chinatown
of another possible war. Trouble be-
tween the Chinese Educational Society
and the See Yup Society is said to be
brewing and liable to break forth at
any time.

The hat had no marks on it. Under
the sweatband was a folded bunch of
newspaper advertising copy. 1t had
been used for filling to make the hat
fit the wearers head.
The gulch is off the new road that
branches into the foothills opposite
Highlands. Isaac l.. Requa's home 1t
is three miles from the canyon to the
nearest residence, that of ]. B. Rich
ardson an attorney of this city. From
that place Chard telephoned last night
to the Coroner regarding his discov-
cry. None of the people in the neigh
borhood could give any information
that would throw light on the case.
Deputy Coroner Quellen said to-day:
1t occurred 10 me that this man
might accidentally have been killed by
some hunter The hills in that neigh
borhocd are Travelled over every day
by hunters, and it might be that some
one did shoot the man and then hid his
body under the brush for fear of de-
lection. If Chard had not seen the up
turned, uncovered face he would have
overlooked the body, for it was hidden
under the twigs.
ONLY CLEW TO IDENTITY.
The dead mans clothing was given
a thorough overhauling to-days but not
a mark was found Identifying it's dead
owner. On the cheap, white Starched
shirt was the tag of Newman & Klein,
270-272 South Main street, Los Ange-
les
Under Sheriff Hanifin was inclined
to the theory of suicide until the report
of the autopsy surgeons was made
The Sheriffs office will further investi-
gate the mystery tomorrow. An in
quest will be held, but not until time
has been given for official inquiry and
possible identification of the remains.
Though his clothing was shabby, his
shoes badly worn and the general ap-
pearance of the garments that of one
in poverty, the mans countenance in
death was not that of a tramp. There
was no evidence that he had been
drinking. The internal organs were in
normal condition. The stomach con-
tanned six ounces of partially digested
food, showing that death had occurred
very soon after he had partaken of a
hearty meal. The external conditions
all indicated that death occurred about
twentyfour hours before the body was
found, and this was borne out by the
surgeons investigation.

to the head, as powder would have
been found lodged in the skin. The
muzzle must have been several feet
distant from the head when the wea
pom was fired. The bullet was of
small caliber.
The autopsy was conducted by DR..
Hamlin. Dr. George ]. Reinle and DR..
]. NJ. Kane. After the surgeons had
exposed the skull they traced the
course Of the bullet. 1t ran in an up
ward and inward direction, plowing
through the brain until ii fattened
against the skull on the opposite side.
Concerning the conditions disclosed
by the autopsy DR.. Hamlin said;
haven't the slightest hesitancy in declaring
this case murder. 1he himself
could not have inflicted the wound, which was
instantly fatal This is where the
weapon was held At = distance of at least
fo-r or FIVE feet and fired from behind the
twisted his arm around into such position
that pistol Innzzle could nave bsen placed
at the point where this bullet hole found.
the weapon must have been held close 70
the head that much powder would have been
blown into the skin.
Other exterior marks Of violence were found
about the face and the forehead. and there
were many small scratches and linear scars
running in the same direction These were on
the opposite side Of the face from that which
turred uo when the body was found. The
scars could have been made by dragging the
body face downward over the ground The
position Of the body on the ground also indl-
Gated the man could not have shot himself
There is no position he could stand lie in
that would enable him to inflict this wound.
If he tried to shoot himself in the back of the
head TIE bullet would have plowed downward
instead OF inward.
DR.. Reinle agreed with the opinion
expressed by DR.. Hamlin. Dr. Kane
gave no opinion, as he left before the
autopsy was concluded.
VICTIM C1rU ANCER
That this victim of murder was a
stranger to this neighborhood seems
certain. Not an inquiry was made to-
day at the Coroners office concerning
him. Deputy Coroner Quellen, in COM
pany with Under Sheriff j. J. Hanifin
Jr., made thorough search to-day in
the bed of the creek and along the
sides Of the gulch where the body was
found They picked up an empty pis-
tol bullet shell and an exploded shot
gun cartridge. Through the brush they
tramped and all else they could get
was an old derby hat, battered and
broken. 1t was found a few feet from
where Chard stumbled upon the body.

GaIerladR

Abraham Ruef returned last night
from the Republican National Conven-
ton, the Democratic National Conven-
tion and the st. Louis Exposition, and
incidentally his first trip beyond the
borders of the State of California. He
expressed himself pleased with his
Eastern trip, but expressed a strong
preference for California as a perma-
nent abiding place.
At the ferry Ruef was met by a
number of his friends who, bade him
welcome home. In the evening he
held an informal reception at his res
idence, Mayor SchmitZ, members of
the various municipal commissions
and others being present.
! Later in the evening number of his
friends. who had been attending a
wedding at the Greek church at Mis-
sion and Seventh streets, marched to
Ruef's residence preceded by a band
and serenaded him. Ruef' made a
brief speech, expressing his apprecia-
ton of the compliment and invited all
to partake of his hospitality.
