NEW YORK, Dec. 5O-The war Of
the Chinese Tongs has been renewed
with increased vigor and today the po-

All Hoon, a noted Chinese actor, who
was formerly a member OF the -Four

Four Brother, who were assassinated by
members OF the On Leong Tong Al 30lk
PelI street.
Commissioner Baker has thrown scores
OF policemen and plain clothes men into
Chinatown today and admits that an
other Tong war is feared.
The on LeOng TOngs and the Four
Brothers have been at deadly enmity
since the murder Of Elsie Sigel by
Leon Ling, a member of the On Leong
Tongs, and the Four Brothers did their
best to aid the police in capturing him.
while the On LeOng TOnEs successfully
aided him to escape.

business with 10 Quan.
When. six years ago. An Hoon came

for this act, and Il is believed selected
him as their victim.

his part as usual i'm the cast ar the
