Hip Sing Tong, Gum Kee vent back
to China with $40 900 of tribute money
some five years ago, Mock Duck has been
the boss of the outfit, and has cauHed
the virtuous On Leong Tong all its
trouble.
When the On Leong Tong had SO firm
ly intrenched itself, under the leader
ship of Tom Lee, that there seemed no
dislodging them, it was Mock Ducks
fertile brain which conceived the idea of
enlisting the aid of the Parkhurst So
ciety. The On Leongs controlled all the
gambling privileges in Chinatown, and
stood in with the police authorities.
Mock Ducks gang coveted these priv
ileges. Then went Mock Duck to Frank
Moss, agent of the Parlihurst society,
and convinced him that the On Leongs
were villains and the Hip Sings saints.
who wanted to reform Chinatown in all
it's branches. Would the Parkhurst
people help Mock Duck, the reformer.
The bait found a bitter; the Parkhurst
people began to raid the joints of the
On Leong Tong on testimony furnished
by the Hip Sing bunch, and that started
the war.
Since then the history of the feud be-
tween the two societies is fresh in every
ones memory. At least a score of
Cinnamon have been murdered. and
twice as many wounded. Mock Duck,
on various occasions, has had to leave
New York, either to avoid the law or to
escape his enemies. On each time that
he returned trouble has broken out
afresh in the little streets that harbor
so many thousands of Monaghan
coolies. Mock Ducks people say that
this has been merely a coincidence. The
On Leong people say otherwise.
Peace has now been established Off
cially, between the two Tongs. 1t may
be real peace, it may not be.
Mock Duck, whatever his Intentions
regarding the future of Chinatown. IS at
present in no condition to carry them
out, being in Jail. Yes, the white man
has got him, and he languishes in a cell
in the Tombs on the charge of trying to
bride two police officers. There was a
raid on Pell street a few nights ago, and
as the officers were bringing the prison
ers down to the patrol wagon Mock
Duck crept out of the shadows and of
fered a policeman 500 to allow his
cousin, Houi Lee, to escape. The po-
liceman told him to git" But Mock
then appealed to another cop and raised
the ante to $50. This fidelity to the FAM
lily caused the officers to take him along
with the prisoners, and on being ar
raigned before a judge next day Mock
Duck was committed to the Tombs I'M

his face tells little of the mans charac-

1t fitted the description of it's owner, as
given by the Hip Sing Tong people-who
are his own-or the On Leong Tong
crowd, who are his enemies.
OF Mock Duck, the Hip Sing folk say:
He is a decent, law-abiding young Chi

bounded from pillar tt post by his arch
enemies, the followers of Tom Lee. AT
times, 1t is true, he has shot, but only
in self-defense, and if two or three On
Leong Tong notches are on his gun,
they are there for men who deserved to
die. In his laundry uptown he attends

society, which was formed solely to fur

wear a shirt of mail, and would never

short, is a model citizen"
From the On Leong Tong we get this
analysis of the face:
at is that of a cruel, crafty, mysteri-
GUS, bad mantle worst Chinaman in
New YORK.. There is murder in that
bright eye, those stern lips, that firm
chin. There is duplicity and t~reachery

OF Cinnamon in New York, and run
Chinatown for the lowest purposes. The

Woods found himself in a corner con-

attorney shook his fist under Woods
nose and said something that almost
froze the referees blood. Another
young man was about to lay hands on
Woods when he was drawn away and
then big policeman Palenapa grabbed
the would-be hitter by the scruff Of the
neck and threw him over into the bench

approval was in the action Of men who
had backed Sullivan with gold and
silver Several refused to take down
the money posted against their bets.
