A NEW COMPLAINT
A Nebraska Man Wants Commerce
Commission TO Regulate Union
Pacific Passenger Rates.

Washington, Aug. S.-An attack was
made Friday on the three-cent a mile
passenger rate Of the Union Pacific
Railroad company by Charles A. Sib-
ley, a resident Of Nebraska. Sibley's
complaint was filed with the Inter
state Commerce commission and, i'd
its nature, h practically unique In
the history Of the commission.
The complaint alleges that the Union
Pacific railroad eEacts a rate Of three
cents a mile from interstate passen-
gers although within the limits Of Ne
braska, n charges q rate Of only two
cents q mile. He says be travels from
4 point In western Nebraska through
a part Of Colorado. to another point
in Nebraska and Is required to pay
the three cent rate, because the rail-
road company holds that that Is In
terstate business. This, he asserts
Is 4 showing BY the company Of I'M
due preference to interstate passengers
and he asks the commission to fix
just maximum passenger rate which
the company shah charge on inter
state business.

THE TONES At War
New York Cinnamon Make a Muir
derous Attack Upon Their
Countrymen In Boston
WAS A MATTER OF REVENGE.
Fifty MongolIans Were Smoking In
the Open Air When a Dozen
Strangers Opened Fire With
Deadly Effect.

Boston, Aug. 3.-Burning with
hatred for their deadly enemies be-
longing to the rival On Leong Tong
society, a band Of New York China.
men numbering a dozen or more, and
said to be members Of the notorious
Hep Sing Tong organization, entered
a narrow alley In Chinatown Friday
night and drawing revolvers, opened
fire upon half hundred Cinnamon
killing three and injuring seven. AT
the first volley the Cinnamon rushed
for their quarters. The Hep Sing
Tong men chased their victims into
their own doorways and shot them
down as they rushed upstairs or into
side rooms. Then casting away their
guns the strange visitors ran from
the Chinese quarters, most of them
escaped the police.
The dead: .
Wong Su Jung. aged 50. restaurant
proprietor Of Chinatown.
Chin Let, aged IS, loundryman'
South End.
Chin Mon Quin, aged 4S, merchant
Chinatown.
OF the injured, Lee Kai, aged "a;
Shang Gu, aged 20, and Jong Con
probably were fatally injured. The
others are in a serious condition.
Immediately after the shooting one
of the Hep Sing Tong men from New
York was captured by policeman as
he was running away. The man gave
the name of MIN Sing. He was dress
In In American clothes. Later an Of
ficer at the South station took into
custody Hong Woon. aged "a. OF New
York, whose hands were powder
stained. Both prisoners are charged
with manslaughter.
The police placed under arrest or
suspicion seven other Cinnamon who
are strangers IN the local colony.
The shooting occurred in Oxford
place, in the center Of Chinatown
where about 50 Cinnamon were smok
ing in the open air.
Fully 50 shots were fired. That the
visitors shot with careful accuracy
was apparent from the fact that eacf
Of the three men killed was sho
through the heart.
The trouble has been anticipated fol
more than q week. About ten day.
ago nearly a dozen Cinnamon wht
were all strangers, came to Boston
and rented rooms near Chinatown
The police were notified of the fact BY
Boston Cinnamon who feared trouble
Special details Of police were at once
placed on duty in the Chinese quarters
and the strangers suddenly disappear
ed.
The trouble is attributed by some t.
the shooting which occurred in Phila
delphia recently for which 1t is sale
Boston Cinnamon were partially
blamed. 1t IL thought the Chinamer
who did the shooting came from New
York to punish the On Leong Tong
for the Philadelphia outbreak.

to meet the situation that has arisen
in Morocco. A war ship of each q

prepared three transports at Toulon to
convey $500 men and 300 horses to
Morocco. What further steps If any,
are contemplated have not been made
