Hong Gu, a Chinese restauranteur
Martini said that the trouble between
himself and the chink commenced
when he invited a white woman to eat
noodles with him. The Chinaman
with chivalry not usually found in his
race, objected to the white woman
eating with the black.
From that time on Martins trou-
bles commenced. His noodles were
uncooked, the meat tough and unsav-

poor indeed. When he objected he
was informed that whatever Hong
chose to set before him was good
enough for "hockaway"-which in
Chinese is a negro. The result of II
all was angry words, dare, a blow

COTTON MILL
WAGE REDUCTION

FALL RIVER, Mass. July 20
There is high feeling among the Fall
River cotton mill operatives over the
general cut in wages which went into
effect today, but the general i'm
preston is that there will not be a
strike at this time. The reduction
averages 12M per cent and affects
more than $4,000 operatives employed
by nearly 40 corporations.
The reduction is the second made
in Fall River within a year. the last
having been cut Of 10 per cent.
which eventually extended to all the
cotton mills of southern New Eng
land. The reason given by the man
ufaoturers for the wage reduction is
that the cotton manufacturing In
dustry is still in poor shape, and the
margin of profit is exceedingly small
on most goods. For nearly four
months. in spite of the 10 per cent
cut made some tige ago, the mills
have been running on short time.
With the second revision of wages.
the mill owners hope to keep their
machinery in motion more regularly.

baby and then committed suicide.
Her husband is supposed to live in

the coroner investigated with the re-
suit that his suspicious were direct

fearing the outcome Of her arrest.
she shot herself through the head
with a revolver.
Pinned upon the bosom Of the dead
woman was a note Of confession,

No reason was given for the rash act,
but doubtless she was driven to des-
