CHINESE HIGHBINDER
ARRESTED IN STOCKTON
San Francisco Oriental Charged
With Murderous Assault
on Countryman
[Specidl Dispdfch 10 The Call

lOPeCldi OispdiCH 10 Inc SduI
STOCKTON. Dec. 24.-Louie Yen, an
alleged highbinder, 19 years old and a
member of the On Yick tong of San
Francisco, was arrested in Stockton to-
day by Detective Jack Donahue for the
alleged murder of Fong Wong Foie, a
balloon maker, whose residence was at
Dupont and Jackson streets, San Fran
cisco. Louie Yen is said to have shot
Fong Wong Ifoie while the latter was
at work in the vicinity of the above
named streets.
The attempt to kill proved little
more than a slight wound and a few
days later, it is alleged, the murderous
Chinaman returned to the scene and
made good his slaughter. A big reward
has been offered for the capture of the
murderer.
When arrested in Stockton Louie Yen
wore false wig, and when questioned
declared he intended wearing the head
gear to China in the near future. Local
officers believe that the visit to this city
of the alleged murderer is in connection
with the highbinder society which is in
existence in Stockton's celestial quar-
ter.

Republican Treasurer Made Mistake
Of Taking Seriously Roosevelts
and Tat's Declarations-Mask
Of Hypocrisy Is OH.

Washington, Oct. 5.--The most
paign in the last twenty-four hours
is the announcement that a grand
money raising canvas is to be set on
foot this week by the republicans. 1t
develops that Treasurer Sheldon
made the ridiculous mistake from a
republican standpoint of taking ser
iously the public declaration of Taft
and Roosevelt that tainted money
would be scorned by the party and
the result of this fine tooth cam
paign in New York and other large
eastern cities has nettled the repub-
licans a campaign fund of consider
ably less than 100000. This mis-
take of Sheldons has caused all the
row now breeding in the republican
campaign and beginning tomorrow a
new campaign to get funds from the
big fellows will be inaugurated. This
will be made easy since Taft's deter
mination not to publish campaign
contributions until after the cleo
ton. Republican papers in the east
convey this decision to accept tainted
money and pave the way for the G.
o. P. canvassers in all the great fin-
ancial and manufacturing sections
of the country. 1t foreshadows a
quick gingering up Of the campaign
in way in which White House epis-
ties have failed.
