CHINESE GUNPLAY
IS FOR BLACkMAlL
Police Now Think Bl0cdless

Wealthy Gamblers
Charges Are Placed Against the
Highbinders Already
Under Arrest

The police have come to the conclu-
sion that the bloodless gunplay in
Chinatown by highbinders Is merely a
bluff with the object of blackmailing
some of the wealthy Chinese gamblers
and that If the gamblers do not come
10 terms within day or two the gun
play will not be bloodless. The gam
blers who belong to powerful tongs
will. 1t is said, set these tongs to work
to wipe out the On Yicks and Suey
Ons. The slave girl episode is merely
a pretext, but the real beginning Of
the trouble was when an On Yick man
went to Oakland to play fan tan and
purposely raised row because he had
been cheated by the dealer
A we'll informed Chinese said yes
terday that the highbinders have be-
come restless and are determined to
carry on their old time system of
Diackmail because they believe that the
agreement signed by the heads OF all
the tonss about year ago to stop
hostilities at the instigation of Chief
Biggy was no longer binding upon
them owing to the chiefs death. He
expects bloodshed at any moment.
Wong Hung Gee and Low Nuey,
On Yick men, who were arrested dur
ing the shooting in Portsmouth square
