BOMB FOR WING Hing AGAIN
ONCE IN A WHILE THEY BLOw
HIM UP FOR BREAKFAST.

TFaveI on an Elevated Trsln ami Throw
tho Missile Out Of the window That's
what He DId Yesterday and Got Away.
A gentle COnHucian. hight Wing Hing,
opening his Third avenue laundry a Little
Aftor O'Clock yesterday morning glanced
apprehensively up at an elevated train.
southbound. saw something no bigger
than a mans handball coming his way,
dived head foremost into a basket OF family
washing and waited eHpectantIy.
Tho expected happened. The little OBJ
iect Wing saw tossed from a platform of
the passing train landed in the basement
stairway leading from the sidewalk. ex-
plOded. smashed the heavy basement door
under Wing into kindling wood and then
set fire TO the kindlng. After the explosion
Wing trotted methodiOally 20 the wash
tubs. took a pail OF water and extingnished
the fire.
Alice same las time" he remarked,
noting that the stairs az well as the door
we're splintered and chaTTed Then he
began ironing some shirts to be delivered
before breakfast.
But Policeman King. not being fortified
for such cases by the precepts Of Con
fucius. seeing the little object thrown
from the car. hearing the explosion, noting
the fash Of flames. ran az fast a. ever he
could 20 try TO head OF the southbound
train at Twenty third street. Missing the
train, he turned in a fire alarm and call
for an ambulance and telephOned for some
reserves.
When doctors. policemen fremen with
clang Of bell, with scream Of whistle, with
heavy thud OF coppers' boots on pavement
gathered at 802. in front Of Wing Kings
doorway. he politely came forth. surveyed
the uniformed multitude. smiled blanCly,
and said: "Whassa mallas Alice same
las time. Some man. he catcher habit.
catchee habit thlow bomb for me. Dammee
fool So long" aud then returned 20 his
hurry call shirts.
And in very deed thai ie the truth. Some
man has the habit Of riding ON sOut hbOund
elevated trains and tossing bombs az Wing
Kings laundry. Just how often this has
happened anu been cpncealad from the
police is not known, Ou. the agent Of che
building said yesterday chat he was awfully
bored with having 20 rebuild shattered
parts Of the premises Us results of the good
aim OF Wings enemies, In July lssDhe
bomb thrown early one morning struck in
the identical spot which received yestel-
days and then also set fire TO the prem
ises. The Fire Department attended 10 the
job that time, for then Wing Hing had not
been so well drilled for the emergency as
he is now.
II is a winsonle neighborhood. the imme-
diate vicinity. that IN, the west side Of Third
avenue between Twenty-si&th ana Twenty
seventh streets. Wings laundry occupies
one half OF the ground hoor OF a 2J foot
front hve story tenement, The other half
Of the store is occupied by The Little JoCs
S62 Quick Lunch Room and Restaurant
where IL encours ges one further to read the
hungry may have a regular dinner for IL
cents. or. not caring 20 go the whole bill OF
fare. may have corned beef and cabbage or
pot roast. either with rice pudding, for I3
centa.
Mrs. Little JOes said yesterday that all
she knew about the neighborhOod pastims
Of receiving live bombs was "Ich weiss
NIGHT. but pretty factory girl eating her
regular dinner there told the reporter that
it was getting to be something fierce when
a lady couldn't feed her face without rum
ming chance OF stopping bomb meant
for Chink." ....
Duty required that the laundry itself
structs thus: American 4 Chinese
J62 Laundry family washing 80 cents
skirts rs. 20. rs" Noting that a family
wash containing two or more skirts Of the
2j cent variety and anything else would
put Wing TO the bad. the reporter entered.
Wing sat at a counter distributing blots
Of ink over the pages OF an account book
and two assistants iabored over an ironing
table.
"Catohee piecse Hoh papshl' asked Wing
after some explanation. II tell you all

Wing had seen another light besides that
which flashed from the bomb under his
laundry early in the morning. The other
light had reminded him Of a duty or a tax
he owed to some one in Chinatown, and
he had made up his mind to perform his
duty or pay his tax. and after the manner
of his race 10 say nothing about II.
Wing knows the law Of the tongs. The
next bomb would not be merely a\SignsL
He will be good. What was the use Oi hrs
