CROWD IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Aug. 18.-Twenty persons
were injured when q company OF Polish
sharpshooters returning from a picnic
charged q crowd of men, women and

company was surrounded and an ex-
PLANTATION demanded by the angry
people. Finally the mother Of the boy
attacked the captain with & stick. The
captain then ordered his company,
which consisted Of about 20 men, to
charge the crowd with their bayonets.

bered the soldiers. The riot became
general and the captain of the COM
pany was one OF the first to retire.

and they arrived in time to arrest Ave
of the soldiers. all Of whom were more

CH|NAMANS JEWISH
WIFE IS MURDERED
Her Husband Is Held as Wit
ness and Another Celestial
Is Suspected.

New York, Aug. 1s.-Chinatown
boiled over again yesterday on the
discovery OF the murder Of a most
beautiful Jewish-C Chinese woman, Bow
Kim, q years old, who came here from
San Francisco about a year ago with
an Americanized Chinaman, Chin Len,
81 years old.
IT was about 2 O'Clock, Just as the
Usual Saturday night revelry was
4quieting down, that Chin Len dashed
out OF a tenement house at IL Mott
St, crying. MY woman has been
murdered The street filled with lott
Tering Cinnamon and parties of Ameri-
can "sightseers," all of whom quickly
recalled the sensational murder OF Elsie
Sigel, the missionary girl, was thrown
into excitement. A policeman and a
detective hurried into the house under
Lens directions, through dark hall
ways to q real room on the second
floor. The door was locked and officers
were unable to break it In when Len
pushed them aside and unlocked 1t
himself. In a little room the murdered
woman lay on the floor, stabbed in half
q dozen places. Her slender neck was
ringed with bloody finger marks, indi-
eating a struggle with her assailant,
and beside her lay a blood crusted
hunting knife.
Stairs Are Bloody.
1t was evident that the woman had
been dead for two or three hours. On
the stairs were found traces OF blood,
and also on a door leading to the store
of Yuen Chin e. Co., on the ground
floor. Three Cinnamon there were ar
rested, although they deny all knowl-
ledge of the murder. Six American
women who declared themselves to be
wives of Cinnamon, were found in the
house and were arrested, but none
would admit any knowledge of how
Kim's death occurred. In the muir
dered woman's rooms were found many
letters in Chinese. but none that gave
a clew. Len declared that he had no
idea who killed his wife, unless "may
be Zee Sing killed her. Zee Sing say
she owe him money, and he try to
get it,
Other Celestial Enamored.
Sing had been in love with Bow
kim, he said. AS to Sings whereabouts
he knew nothing.
2 Lens account of himself was that
he had spent the early evening until
Z o'clock with his wife and then he
had gone to % Mott st. Returning at
2 o'clock in the morning, he found the
body on the floor. In touching it he
had soiled his hands, which In turn
had smeared the door and stairway
as he hurried to the street. No formal
charge has been preferred against Len,
but he is held in $4,000 bail as a ina

SILVER SERVICE
NOW IN STORAGE

Washington, Aug. 18.-When-
ever Captain James T. Smith,
commanding the armored
cruiser South Dakota, wishes to
decorate his table with a mag
nifcent silver service, he can
do so by merely making a re-
quest for the transfer to his Gus
tody of the gift made to his yes
sci by the people of South Da-
kota five years ago.
When, in 1901, 1t was decided
to name q big cruiser for South
Dakota, the pride Of people of
that state was so aroused that
they at once decided to follow
the example Of other states and
present a silver service. In 1904
the gift was made by the gov
ernor, with a request that as
soon as the vessel was placed in
commission the silver be sent
aboard.
In January, 1908, the South
Dakota was commissioned. The
silver service was boxed and
stored in the New York navy
yard. There 1t is supposed to
be today.

EDWIN HAwLEY.

Hawley is SO years of age, and
his spent almost his entire life in
Wall street. His friends him a
ticker wizard"
A mathematical wag has made
up some figures in an attempt to
show to the unsophisticated just
how big Hawley's year profits
were. He says that If the $12,-
O00,000 were all in silver dollar
carewheels they would weigh
S59.35 pounds.
The wag would have the big
pile divided up into $50 pound lots.
There would be $2O94.50 to each
lot. He would load each $50 pound
lot into a wheelbarrow. How many
wheelbarrows would be required?
Only 500! Now, If men pushed
these wheelbarrows in single file
and were careful to walk eight feet
apart, these would be a procession
of silver bearing wheelbarrows
eight miles and 1920 feet long.
A deeper problem than the
wheelbarrow wag's is: How long
will be required for a man to earn
$4,000, 900 If he sepnds his pre-
cious' time, like the wag, figuring
out lwheelbarrow puzzles?
