WHY PRESIDENT WASN'T BUsIER.

case. says ASH. Ats .-Gsen. Cooley.


OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. Assistant
Attorney General Cooley and Peter A. Jay,
the new Secretary Of Legation Mt Toxic,
were luncheon guests at Sycamore Hill
to-day. Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
rode over in his automobile from his summer
home at Wheatley Hills and joined the
party.
Secretary Loeb said that the Assistant
Attorney General had stopped to consult
with h President about two, important
missions which he was to take up on his
return TO Washington, but Mr. Cooley
denied all knowledge Of any particular
missions He had been up in Massa-
chusetts on his vacation. he said. and had
merely dropped in for a friendly chot on
his way back to Washington.
On his return from his conference with
the President Mr.. Cooley said that while
he personally had had no direct connection
with the North Carolina rate cases he wished
to make clear the position OF the President
and the Department Of Justice in that
matter.
There has been a demand on the part
OF several papers, said Mr.. Cooley, that
the President do something The Presi-
den left the entire after with the Depart
ment OF Justice. snd the only thing that
either the President or the Department Of
Justice could do was TO see that the process
Of the Federal court was properly served
n that the orders of the court were obeyed.
There was no difficulty in serving the order
and the order has been obeyed. There was
no other way in which the President or the
Federal Government couldt take action"
Mr.. Cooley enlarged upon this theme.
making it quite clear that IL it had appeared
that President Roosevelt had been unusually
quiet while there a 8 a good fight in progress
il was because he had done all he could
and lacked means to 60 further.
MIR. Cooley said that he thought that
he rate case would reach the Supreme
Court in the fall term.

of respect before going out TO his new post.

Blind Auey-lnvasisn Not Explained.
BosroN, Mass, Aug. "A gam Of New
York Cinnamon belonging to the notorious
Hip Sing Tong invaded Boston's China
town tonight with rcvolvers and opened
fire upon more than fifty OF their fellow
countrymen who we're seated in an alley
way OF Harrison avenue.
Three Cinnamon were killed instantly,
three more were left dying and four were
very seriously injured by the bullets Of their
rivals.
The usual quiet pervaded the vicinity
of Harrison avenue just before 9 O'Clock
tonight. Cinnamon lounging here and
thsre smoking and talking. In the midst
Of this peaceful reverie a volley Of bullets
fell upon them.
They rushed for their dens. falling over
one another in their haste to get out Of

rivals into their homes and shot them.
Having done as much murder as they
dared, the invaders turned about and
sought refuge in flight.
The dead are Chin Mon ouin, aged IS, IL
Oxford street; Chin Leet, aged 81, laundry
proprietor; Wing Sing Jung, aged SO. "a
Harrison avenue
The injured men are Coon Coon, Lee Kai,
Coon Gouy, Shang Gu, Leo Kwai, Con Jong
Con, all of whom are seriously wounded and
some Of whom are sure to die.
Ten Chinsmen were put under arrest
soon after the shooting. One Of these gave
the name of MIN Sing Of New York. An
other who was caught while running from
the Chinatown district to the South Station
said his name was Hong Woon, also Of New
York. Eight other men who are strangers
to the Boston Chinatown police were taken
into custody on suspicion Of being connected
with the affair.
T~o-night's disturbance was the first OF
any importance which has occurred III
Boston's Chinatown for many years, this
district having been comparatively free
from the society wars which have caused
no much trouble in New York and the motive
for 30 sudden an attack upon Boston's
Cinnamon had not been explained up to a
late hour tonight.
The invading Cinnamon, numbering not
more than fifteen. Inc the majority Of them
dressed in American clothes, appeared at
the end Of a blind alley shortly before 5
O'Clock and cornered the half hundred
men who were seated in the narrow pas
sageway. They opened a broadside and
fully fifty shots were fired.
Chinatown was so excited over to-night's
disturbance that no coherent story OF the
affair could be obtained from the Chinsmen
themselves. though many OF them said
some trouble mad been anticipated for
several days. II was known that several
strange Cinnamon had invaded Boston
and engaged rooms near the Chinatown
district, but there was no intimation OF
the murderous deed which they planned to
carry oct tonight.
