into an uproar Tuesday night at the
hours when 1t is thronged with sight
seers and the curbs are lined with au-
tomobiles, when, for no apparent rea-
son, one Chinaman shot down another

Instantly confusion reigned in ali
the narrow streets, and from the Bow
cry there poured in horde of roughs
intent on taking advantage of the op-
portunity for plunder. One tourist was
rescued by detective from a man
who had pushed him into a hallway
and demanded his watch. Comrades
of the highwayman fought the detec-
tive until other policemen arrived and
arrested three men, after clubbing
them into submission. 1t was fully an
hour before the police reserves man
aged to clear the streets and restore
order.
