H|CHb|NDERS MAY
RESUME BAT TIE

OAKLAND. Jan. 12.-Following the
outbreak between the Bing Kongs and
Hop Sings, which resu4,ed last night in
the killing of Lee Book Dong presi-
dent of the latter society, and the
wounding of four other Chinese, MEM
bers of the rival tongs began arming
themselves today ans further trouble
is feared by the police. In anticipa-
tion of more shooting. Chief Of Police
Wilson has detailed a large number of
extra policemen in Chinatown.
The murder of the president of the
Hop Sings has reused the members of
that tong to a pitch of frenzy and the
purchase of many revolvers today In
dicates that the trouble will not end
until the death of Lee Book Dong has
been avenged.
Information was received from the
San Francisco Police Department to-
day that All Kee, the slave girl who is
thought to have been the cause of the
outbreak last night. and who lived at
the home of Lee Book Dong, had been
arrested in San Francisco, in COM
pany with All Gee, another Chinese
woman. The police express the opin-
ion that an attempt was being made to
smuggle All Kee out of the State. that
she might not be called upon to tes-
tify against the men who killed Dong
should the assassins be captured.
The Hop Sings, whose local head
quarters are at 217 Fifth street, and
the Bing Kongs have been at war for
years. Some time ago the feud
caused an outbreak at walnut Grove,
in which blood was shed. Tt is un-
douhtedly continuation of that
trouble which led to the killing of
Lee Book Dong Friday night Just
what opened the attack has not
been disclosed. A row among gam
blers over the woman is thought to be
the cause.
The Bing Kong Tong Is now the
strongest of all the Chinese organiza-
tions. The Hop Sings. through contin-
uous warfare, have almost exhausted
their defense fund and the number of
their fighting men.
An autopsy was performed on the
body of Lee Book Dong this afternoon
and it was found that both the bullets
fired by the assassins had reached vital
spots in the body of the victim. One
bullet passed through one of the lungs
and severed the aorta, while the other.
after piercing the lung and other or
gans, broke the spinal column.
Chin Fong, who was shot in the
mouth and neck, and who after his
wounds had been dressed at the Re-
ceiving Hospital was removed to Prov
idence Hospital. was operated on this
morning 1t is believed that his
wounds will prove fatal. The wounds
of the other wounded Chinese are
slight.
Two Chinese, All Yue and Wo Him,
were arrested last night in San Fran
cisco on suspicion of having been i'm
plicated in the outbreak. Both were
armed. They will be returned to this
city.

Doings At Bismarck

lew piOulDtLlOulSLS WHO favored the
Ueland bill because they thought that
the primary measure should have a
harmonious companion and their con-
tention was that if the prohibition law
could not stand the test after trial of
twenty years, which would be the case
when the initiative measure became
operative, 1t ought to be repealed. The
Ueland bill is closely patterned after
the Oregon law.
Two Congressional Districts.
The usual biennial attempt to d.
vide the state into two congressional
districts is under way. It originated
in the senate in a bill introduced by
Senator Strom. The bill provides for
two districts-one district to take in
the counties south and tributary to
the Northern Pacific railroad and the
Northern district to take in the Great
Northern country-will satisfy some,
but many will desire division of the
state north and south-that is, con-
gressional district Of the western part
Of the state and another comprising
the eastern counties. A few leaders
in both branches quizzed on the mat
ter leads to the conclusion that the
possibility for change this year is
very remote.
Not only does this legislature want
the issuance of passes stopped, but it
wants the Pullman company to pay its
porters and stop the public from doing
it as well as paying for their berth or
seat in the observation car. If things
keep on the old railroading customs
will be so disfigured that they will not
be recognizable.
The Bill Hopper Still Open.
The spout of the bill hopper in both
branches of the assembly is still open
and all sorts Of measures come trick
ling down. Among seventeen meas
ures introduced in the senate day
or two ago was one providing for five
judges of the state supreme court;
one that diplomas issued in first class
high schools be accepted as a teach
ers' second grade certificate after Jan.
1 next; another one to prevent frauds
on the exemption laws Of the state
and providing severe penalties. There
are several bills> relating to the IL
censing Of warehouses, which mean,
in other words, efforts to make the
elevators good and stop their alleged
graspingr Insthois.; 1t is surprising
how much attention is commanded
when any subject relating to elevators
comes up. A measure which is likely
to become law is one embodied in
new house bill,' that of foreclosing real
estate mortgages by action instead of
by publication. So many serious er-
rors have been made and injustice
done that the action method is de-
manded. Another new bill is one in
creasing the salaries Of state officers
from governor down, the exception be-
ing judges of the supreme court. The
salaries proposed are: Governor, $5,-
600; secretary Of state, state auditor,
state treasurer, commissioner Of agri-
culture and commissioner of insur-
ance, $3,500; attorney general, $4,000;
superintendent of public instruction,
$4,000; state examiner, $4,000, with
four deputies at $1,800; all state off
GERS to, reside at the seat of govern
ment. The contention is that with

AFTER A HARD FIGHT

lTlATlvE AND REFERENDUM.
Ec:ion to Indefinitely Postpone Is Car
red, but on Reconsideration the Bill
Passes--Proposed to Divide State
Into Congressional Districts.

Bismarck, Feb. 1S.-In less than
three weeks the tenth legislative as
sembly for North Dakota will have
passed into history and the good or
bad which may have been accom-
plished will be before the constituents
OF those who have spent sixty days in
lawmaking and lawmending. Some
men will hear thou good and faithful
servant" and some will go down to
political perdition, never to be heard
OF again. That there are a few of the
latter there is no mistake and there
are few who we'll realize that they
erred iha allowing themselves to be
entered for the contest in the arena of
politics. A number of these have done
the best they could and used their
best judgment after they had caught
on to the ropes.
The Ueland bill, concurrent reso-
luton providing for the submitting of
an amendment to the state constitu-
ton, section 26, article II, was before
the house in committee Of the whole
On Thursday. 1t was reported by the
committee on state affairs with a
minority report, the latter recon-
mending that the feature of submitting
constitutional amendments under the
Initiative and referendum be stricken
Z out of the bill, and it was discussed in
committee of the whole along those
lines and for nearly two hours the
battle of debate waxed warm. The
supporters of the minority report con-
tended that the people of no state
were so well guarded in the matter of
changing the constitution than were
those of North Dakota. If unwise pro-
vision slipped in it was the peoples
own fault. for they had absolute con-
troll during the four years the subject
was before them. The amendments to
the bill, to strike out the constitutional
feature of tbs. bill >. failed to. carry.
= Finally Gets Through.
There was more sparring for wind
by the advocates of the bill. A mo-
tion that the committee, when it rise,
recommending that the bill do pass
was defeated. Finally a motion that
the bill be indefinitely postponed pre-
vailed, SO voting in the affirmative, 46
in the negative and four absent and
not voting. The clincher was not
forced SO Mr.. Ueland later moved for
a reconsideration and the bill was
passed, the constitutional feature be-
ing stricken out. During the discus
sion Of the bill the prohibition ghost
was stalking about the chamber in
various forms and true to predictions
made by Mr.. Stevens a few days ago
that when measure came up in
which prohibition was endangered the
house would not vote for it, and, true
to prognostication, the friends of pro-
hibition had the members informed
that under the initiative and referen-
dunn that matter could come up in
spite of the legislature. There were a
