SOLDIERS SUPPRESS
RIOTS IN HONGkONG
BoycOtting of japanese Goods
Causes One Armed Offender
to Be Shot

HONGKONG, Nov. 2.-The rioting
which resulted here yesterday from
the attempt of those involved to force
boycott against Japanese goods has
been suppressed by the soldiers who
have been called out and are now pa
trolling the business districts. One
Chinese who offered armed resistance
was shot by the troops today.
The riots were primarily organized
by the students of this city and the
disturbance is evidently widespread. as
at Singapore similar riots have oc-
Cured and a number of merchants. said
to have shown desire to discontinue
the boycott and otherwise favor Japan,
have been branded as traitors and In
several instances marked by having
their ears slit.
1t is alleged that a league has been
secretly formed which has pledged
itself to give man who Sits the ears
of any so called traitor" SIS, and
should he be thrown in jail to see that
he was held up to the public as a mar
tyr and pay him dollar day while
in prison. Should one OF the traitor
merchants be killed, it is stated that
the league agreed to pay his slayer
5000.
At Canton also there have been hints
of the same trouble and number of
ruffians have been hired to attack the
merchants. Rigorous measures to fup-
press the rioting have been taken there.
TSINGTAU, Nov. 2.-On account of
new harbor regulations which went in
to effect November 1, the local agents
of Chinese and British steamers enter
ing this port are trying to bring about
a boycott of the harbor. Vessels bring
ing cargoes for this city and surround
ing towns are now discharging their
cargoes to lighters outside the harbor,
thereby avoiding the port regulations.

AND FLIES CITY
Oakland Fireman Resigns Posi-
ton and Disappears Follow
ing Woman's Suit
Betrays Girl Through Mock
Marriage Ceremony and
Repudiates Child

OAKLAND, Nov. 2.-DanieI ]. Coax
ley, former steward of engine company
No. l, has resigned from the fire de-
partment and fled the city. Coakley
left after repudiating the woman with
whom he had lived and who, by reason
OF mock marriage ceremony into
which he entrapped her, believed her
self to be his wife. The fireman de-
MED the parentage of the woman's
child and was upheld by the courts in
his contentious. although he was bitter
ly denounced by the judge who dis
missed him.
Several reasons are advanced for his
sudden disappearance. One is that he
fears indictment by the Santa Clara
county grand jury for perjury in
swearing falsely that he was a single
man when he obtained the marriage
license which was used in the mock
ceremony. At that time Coakley was
married and his wife lived in San Ra-
fael Another reason is that he is re-
ported TO be indebted deeply to several
Oakland businessmen, including Ike
Foster, proprietor of a saloon at the
corner of San Pablo avenue and Fif-
teenth street; E. Barnett, money
lender. and Attorney Pierre A. Fon-
taine, who defended him during his re-
cent trial for failure to provide for his
putative wife. Corinne McElderry, and
her infant child.
Coakley rendered his resignation to
the fire department last Friday and
vanished soon afterward. The resig-
nation will be acted upon at the meet
ing of the board OF fire commissioners
on Wednesday. 1t is thought that
Coakley may have gone TO the home
of his mother in Montana. About a
year ago, after a disagreement with his
wife, he left her and went to Montana,
remaining for some time Upon his
return he was appointed to the fire de-
partment.
