NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Fearing that

The shooting of Kee Gung, Hip
Sing tong leader, by Lee Wah OF the
On Leong tong is believed to have
shattered the peace agreem mt which
these oriental secret societies entered

The shooting of Kee Gung followed

Chinese slave girl, who was found
stabbed to death in her room on

has been an air of uneasiness in China

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 13.-Ac-
cording to Irma Levy, 16 years old,
daughter of Ferdinand Levy, who COM
mitted suicide yesterday after dan
gerously wounding his wife and s.
year-old daughter, the tragedy was
based on an accident.
Her father, the girl says, was han
ding an automatic revolver when it
was accidentally discharged, the first
bullet striking his wife and the second
tearing a portion of the little girls
brain away.
When Levy realized what had oc-
CURED, his daughter asserts, he an
nounced he intended to kill himself.
and did so in spite Of Irma's frantic
struggles to prevent his using the
weapon.
There is slight hope for the recovery
of Mrs. Levy, from whose skull the
surgeons at the emergency hospital re-
moved the bullet. The child will die.
Irma Levy's statement will result In
second police investigation. The
girl stoutly denies that her father ever
drank or that he had quarreled with
her mother or any other member of
the family.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Admiral
George Dewey's face glowed with

of the splendid work being done by the

The admiral referred to the opinion
held by some authorities that the
United States should keep a strong
battleship fleet on both the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts. That, he pointed
out, did not mean that these vessels all
should be in commission at the same
time, but that some should be held in
reserve available If needed.
There are admirable harbors where
the vessels could be kept in reserve and
where they will not suffer deteriora-
tion.
