band of New York Cinnamon number
ing a dozen or more, and said to be
members of the notorious Hep Sing
Tong organization, entered a narrow
alley in Chinatown, and drawing re-
volvers opened fire upon half a hun
dred Cinnamon, killing three and in
jGring seven. At the first volley the
Cinnamon rushed for their quarters,
stumbling over one another in their
haste to reach shelter. 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 quarter, most of them escap-

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR CHICAGO
May Have a Transfers Strike on Its
Hands at Any Old Time-Ar-
bitratiOn Fails.

Chicago, Aug. 3. = Impossbility of
agreement on an umpire has made
failure of arbitration between the pack
ing house teamsters and their employ
ers. Negotiations were broken off aft
er the conferrees for the second time
failed to agree on an umpire. A strike
of the packing house teamsters was
averted several weeks ago by an agree
ment being entered into to arbitrate
the question of an increase of 4 cents
an hour to all transfers.
At a meeting held on the eve Of the
threatened strike the teamsters decided
to defer the action in the interest of
arbitration. The strike vote still stands,
as no motion was recorded to rescind
the same. The business agent Of the
transfers union may call a strike Of
the teamsters at any time without hav-
ing to place the matter before the rank
and file of the union.

Alleged Fiend Protests His Innocence

poets is Woman; She
Is In the Tombs.

New York, Aug. 3.-The murder Of
little S-year-old Katie Tietschier, who
was found Thursday choked to death
with her own hair-ribbon and her
body mut!lated by the slayer's lust, in
a dark cellar on First avenue, has
called forth every effort of the whole
police department to find the 1end
who has been satiating his murderous
appetite in the strangling and hack
ing to bits of his victims. Unlike the
White Chapel Jack the Ripper the
New York slayer picks out his victims
among children, as we'll as women.
The killing of the Tietscher child was
the most atrocious in the city criminal
history.
Two Men and a Woman Held
Two men and a woman are being
held in custody on the suspicion that
they might know something of the
girls death. The woman, Anna Mess
ner, was arraigned in the night court
and held without bail for the coroner.
She was taken to police headquarters
and was closely questioned by detec-
tives She admitted that she knew
Caietano Rippolone. a cobbler, and his
employee Giuseppe Bonranta, both Of
whom are being detained by the police.
She said she had been living for sever
al days at the house where the child's
body was found. Before that she re-
sided with the Tietschler family, but
Karl Tietschler recently ordered her 10

Woman Refuses TO Talk.
Anna Messner was arraigned yester'
day before Coroner Hamburger, and
through her counsel declined TO make
any statement. She was committed TO

a suspicious person by the coroner. in

SHIPPERS HEAVILY FINED.
First Cases Brought by Railroads I'm
der the New Law.

News has been received at the interstate
commerce commission of the settlemeDto OF
the two cotton seed cases in North Caro-
lima, which have been before the public re-
Gently. These cases were Of considerable
interest, involving large fines and were
the first cases brought by the railroads
against shippers under the new rate law.
One was against the Laurenberg OIL Com
pany Of Laurenberg and the other against
the Lamberton OIL Company of Lamberton.
Both were heard at Wilmington, NJ c.
The two companies manufactured cotton
seed oil and kindred products The rail-
roads hauled the cotton seed and manu-
features and, having no scales, convenient
to the point of origin, allowed the COM
panies to weigh the cars and took their
weight as the basis for charges. Complaints
were made that the companies were under
weighing shipments, and the case was
worked UP by s. H. Smith, one of the in
spectors of the commission. 1t was found
that the shipments were being underbilled
from 10000 to 10000 pounds to the carload.
The officers and directors of both COM
panies were indicted, this being the first
case under the new law. Fines of $4,000
were imposed against the Laureaberg Com
pany and 5000 against the Lamberton
Company, L. NJ. Water of the commits
sion appeared as attorney for the commits
sion in the case.
