As District Attorney Jerome walked

Of the hall One was Gin Gum, secretary
Of the On Leong Tong and the other the
treasurer Of the Hip Sing Tong. Mr..
jerome corralled them with the assistance
Of a couple Of detectives. Then he backed
them up in a corner Of the hall.
Now said Mr.. Jerome very sternly,

cations, / want 10 see them and they are
coming over here TO see me. / don't want
any mistake about that, want 20 see
the head men Of each organization and
am going TO have a heart to heart talk
with each one Of them,
This Is what you two are TO tell them. am
going to send for them a week from Wednes-
DAY OF Thursday. Keep that date in mind.
so that there can be no excuses. Tell them
that they have got TO come TO an agree
ment 20 stop that shooting fest that has
been going on in Chinatown. have nothing
to do with your fan-tan games OF other
little amusements: that's the duty Of the
police. But am going to stop this shooting
that has been gong on and your leade n
have got TO agree 10 do il, Just poke that
into them 80 that they can think il over
until they come over here.
I'm going 70 see that each side gets
fair play. There will he an instructor Of
Chinese from Columbia University who
will do the interpreting. He isn't a member
Of either organization and he'll be fair
At the same time / will know that you are
not fooling me. While you are keeping ali
that In mind also remember this 70 tel to
your leaders. You want to pay particular
attention 70 this part OF IL.
If the respective tongs don't promise
me to stop shooting away at one another,
and keep that promise, am going 20 send
my men over thera-mind not the police.
My men will make very few arrests. II will

there will be missing Cinnamon from the

left will not care about doing much shooting.
Be sure and impress that on your leaders

DON'T LIKE ROCKEFELLER GIFT.
\ Petition 20 the American board Not 20
Accept Ills 500, 900 Donation.

4 Petition 20 the American Hoard Not 20
Accept His GIOO,OOO Donation,
Boston, March 2i.-A few Congre gational
ministers and several lay brethren pre-
sonted 10 the American Board Of Commits
sioners for Foreign Missions to-day pro-
test against the acceptance by the board Of a
gift Of 100000 from John d. Rockefeller Of
New York for specific missionary purposes.
The matter was heard by the prudential
committee Of the board and was referred TO
a special subcommittee for a decision
There is little doubt a. TO what the deci-
sion will Ue, although no member Of the
board would express an opinion either
way.
The petition, which was prepared by a
committee chosen at meeting Of the
Clergymen, protests against the acceptance
Of the gift on the ground that the Standard
Oil Company. Of which Mr. Rockefeller Is
the head, stands before the public under
repeated and recent formidable indictments
in specific terms for methods which are
morally iniquitous and socially destructive, .
and that the acceptance Of such a gift
involves the constituents Of the board in a
relation implying honor toward the donor
and subjects the board TO the charge Of
ignoring the moral issues involved
In conclusion the protest says:
We, the undersigned therefore protest
against any action by which our Church
may even seem 10 be compromised, and
We plead with the officers of the board 20
decline the gift or to return it If it has been
accepted
Among the signers are Daniel Evans,
Cambridge; Edward +. Senderson, Provi-
dence; George II. GutterSen, Derry, n.
H.. II. Vanderpyl Marbehead and James
s, Williamson, Haverill
The Rev. James j. Barton, secretary
Of the board, told THK Sun reporter tonight
that the meeting to-day was harmonious.
He said he could not say just how many
signers the petition had, but thought there
might be fifteen Regarding the petition
Dr. Barton said
The petitioners seemed to be acting
upon the theory that the acceptance Of a
gift by the board is an Endorsement Of the
donor. Such il not the case The board
cannot undertake TO investigate the charao-
ter Of every person s eldng to give TO the
cause and it has always been our policy TO
accept donations for specific purposes
without inquiring into the history Of the
donor

pondent intimates that the pursuit IA going

probably will be the next captures. Ser
ious Russian resistance south Of Hardin IL
not expected
Another Toxic report says IL IL expected
that the Russians will defend the line from
Changshun to Kirin. This view Is strength
ened by consideration OF the straits to
which the Russians will be reduced II they
abandon the rich Kirin province which is
one OF the most fertile parts Of Manchuria
and where they hoped to obtain large
food supplies
II they do not secure these il is believed
that the whole army will be jeopardized,

to carry supplies enough 10 feed 1t.

plies, on which the army hitherto largely
