CHINESE SHOOTS At

Battle in a Refugee Camp
Puts One Victim in
Hospital

Long continued trouble between two
women refugees in the Portsmouth h
square camp led to a battle royal yes
terday after9oon in which they threw
sundry cooking utensils at each other
and which finally eliminated in pistol
shot being fired which sent Lee Fong
Poy. 10 year old boy. to the hospital.
Exactly who is to blame the police
have as yet been unable to ascertain.
10 Sing, a meek looking celestial who
is said to have fred the shot, has dis
appeared and Detective Sergeant Mac
Mahon is searching Chinese quarters
to discover his whereabouts.
The two women who began the trou-
bic are married to Chinese. One is
Mrs. Jen Gertrude Lee Poh and the
other is Mrs. 500 Mamie Lee Both have
long since abandoned the ways of white
people. Their husbands are cooks and
are seldom at home
Yesterday the wife of Lee began to
chide the wife of Poh. and the two were
soon engaged in an animated conflict.
Mrs. Poh retaliated as best she could.
Finally Mrs. Lee threw a bucket of
water at her antagonist as she stood
In the doorway of her cabin.
10 Sing, who was reclining on a
couch inside the cabin. got some of the
water in his face. Grasping revolver
and taking what he considered accur-
ate aim at Mrs. Lee, Sing fired. His
shot went wild and struck the boy Poy,
who fell to the ground with a scream.
Poy was taken to the harbor hospital,
where Dr. Magnus dressed his wounds.
The ball passed through both feet and
Magnus said that 1t would be several
weeks before Poy could walk again.

and all gave their assistance. As one
by one they dragged the amateur mar
1ners out of the water, they found them
weakened and chilled.
At the time of the arrival of the
Brisk the Skiddoo was sinking rapidly.
The combined weight of the men was
more than it could uphold. AS they
were taken on the launch the wrecked
boat quickly rose to the surface. A rope
was made fast and an effort made to
tow the hulk to the foot of Howard
street. 1t was finally found that the
attempt had to be abandoned, and the
shipwrecked crew was landed without
their vessel. The boat was left floating
in the bay-at the mercy OF tue wind
and wave.
Those on board beside Captain Stahl
were Andrew Diago and George Pad
lock of 1916 Dupont street. Oscar
Burns of 1915 Dupont street, and three
boys, Trent Fowler, II years old, who
lives with his parents at S42 North
point, and two brothers, Wilton and AL
bert Berlund, aged respectively 10 and
IL years, who live at 1896 Montgomery
avenue.
When seen last evening at their
homes, the rescued mariners tried to
make light of their experience, but
admitted that for time when afoat In
the cold water they had despaired of
their lives.

Captain Jack Stahl. builder and part
owner of the boat, who lives at 1916
Dupont street, was at the helm. The
wind grew stronger in the afternoon
and several of the others advised that q
reef should be taken in the sail. A
rough sea was rising rapidly and oft
times as the boat lurched water came
over the gunwales. Stahl promised to
use caution, but fierce squall suddenly
struck the boat and it was capsized like

PARIS. June 2.-The striking sea-

every port in France. Not only are
ships unable to start owing to de-
sertions by officers and men, but the
men aboard French vessels arriving
Immediately cast their lot with the
strikers, even though their voyages
are incomplete and they are liable to
prosecution for so doing. Up to the
present few acts of violence have been
reported
The directors of the French line arc
most pessimistic relative to the out
come of the strike and have arranged
with the Hamburg-American line for
its vessels to call at Havre during the
strike for passengers. Meanwhile tor
pedo boat destroyers will carry on the
postal and passenger traffic between
the Mediterranean and colonial ports.
Many of the striking shippers are
placed in a peculiar position owing to
THE action of the authorities in refusing
to accept their papers when presented
unless accompanied by the ship own
ers' written consent, which is not forth
coming. These men, therefore, are
liable to punishment for desertion as
technically they are still in command
and are responsible for their vessels.

derstood to have received instructions
not to accept a compromise.
The difficulties of the government
have increased owing to the strike

ously. The public is clamoring for
hasty solution of the strike because of
the enormous Inconvenience 1t is caus-
