WITH HER HUSBAND IN THE
TONES; nut SHE'S FOUND.

story That the wicked On LeOng Tong FL.
ticed Her TO Providence, Telling Her
Mock Duck Had Broken jail m Would
Meet Her There-Murder Expected.
Mock Duck Is lamenting in his cell
IN the Tombs the doings OF his Chinese
wife, who Is young and. from the stand
point OF a Chinaman OF poetic tempera-
ment, might be called a real duck. The
leader Of the Hip Sing Tong heavy artil-
lery refused yesterday to oommen on a
report that she had been abducted by one
Of his enemies OF the On Ieong Tong but
his face, which is harder than the bars Of
his cell, assumed an expression that in
dicated still harder feelings.
Ching Cow, gambler and sport. and q
cousin OF the head Of the Hip Sing Tong,
Is the man who, it il declared by the On
Ieongs, lured the little Chinese woman
nway to Providence, where she was found
on Wednesday night by several Pell street
relatives of Mock Duck including his cousin
Charles Duck. She will be brought back to
Chinatown to-day.
Mrs. Mock Duck Ia about 20 years old and
Is one Of the very few full blood Chinese
women in New York. She wears French
heels and the dress OF the Occidental fashion

was Luie Vow, or something sounding much
like that. According to the story told by
one Of the On Leongs, who lives in a room
above that of Mrs. Mock Duck on the first
floor of ~ Bowery, three Cinnamon drove
up to the place in a cab before dawn on
Monday and went to Mrs. Mock Duck's
room, Nos. They told herthat her husband
had escaped and was waiting for her at
Providence. She got some of her belon gings
together and went of with them to the
Grand Central Station, where they took Il
train to Providence.
The news of her disappearance from
her room got sround Chinatown before the
train was ten miles from this city, and the
friends n relatives Of Mock Duck began
calling up their clansmen in Providence;
The police of Providence were notified
by the Mock Duckers, and on Wednesday
night little Mrs. Mock Duck had been found.
Wong Get, the most intellectual, Hip
Sing man in Pell street, said he had heard
Providence. but that he did not know the
particulars of her disappearance. He said
he did not believe ithe istory that it was part
Of a plot Of the On Ieongs to get revenge
on Mock Duck
Bail Of S.. 900 demanded by the Ma g~istrate
who held Mock Duck was too big even for
the Parkhurst society to risk on him.
The impression among the police of the
district is that the alleged abduction Of
Mrs; Mock Duck will stir up the old feud
Of the rival societies and help the under
taking business. The force of police in
Chinatown has been doubled since the
last battle. Their withdra wal. Detective
Bolz says, probably would mean the re-
stocking Of arsenals and an attack by the
Hip Sings. Bolz says that the treaty Of
peace between the two societies ia mot on
the level" in fact. hat 1t was "a mere
farce" and that trouble was sure to come
again.
There is no suggestion Of Oriental splen-
dor in the room Of Mrs. Mock Duck. II is
very much like the rest of the rooms at IL
Bowery, which are no cleaner than the
sanitary squad permits rooms in the neigh
borhood to be.
PROVIDENCE. March 8.-Lou You, the
eighteen-year-old wife Of Mock Duck. was
spirited away to this city early in the week
and the vigorous search which was started
by her husbands relatives eliminated
when she was arrested here to-day in a
house in Federal street, A tip from a local
Chinaman had brought to this city several
of the Duck relatives. The New York
Cinnamon declared that the case was one
of abduction. Lou You, a tiny specimen
Of humanity, sat in Chief Matthe ws's Office
wiping way an occasional tear, but on the
whole did not seem to take the affair to
heart greatly. When in the afternoon 1t
was learned that the woman was not wanted
III New York the whole party was allowed
TO depart. The local police profess to be-
lieve that little Lou You had been brought
here to be sold to the highest bidder. She
and her Hip Sing friends left on an afternoon
train for New York.
