Marauder Attempts to Wrest
Diamond From Woman,
Who Shows Fight

Mrs. Isabella Marks, well known
vocalist, early yesterday morning en-
gagged in desperate tussle with bur-
glar who had entered her home at lad
Bush street and, after hard hgnt,
drove him from the place. Her two
daughters, aged IA and Is years, were
aroused by the conflict, and their cries
aided in convincing the intruder that
his safety lay in flight.
The burglar entered through front
window about o'clock a. m, and Mrs.
Marks awoke to find him bending over
her, one hand gripping her throat and
the other plucking at valuable dia-
mond ring upon her finger. The singer
forced the man back and finally. spring
ing from the bad, wrestled with him
through the doorway and out into the
hall. At this moment the two girls
rushed from their room and the robber
wrenched himself free and dashed
through window to the ground, tax
ing pane and sash with him.
Ihe police have good description
or the man and Captain Anderson has
detailed Detectives Freel and Bunner
to search for him.

TONG WAR CAUSES
BIG Loss TO YEtS
Member of Family Killed and
Another Wounded in Mis-
take for On Yicks

Internal dissension in the Yee family
own number and the shooting of a
cousin by other members of the family
may disrupt that tong, which is the
largest and most powerful in the
United States. At present the Yee
family is without the moral support
of any other Chinese tong in its war
with the On Yicks.
Almost the first victim of the conflict
was Gin Gong Fook, an employe in an
Oakland Chinese gambling house, on
the night of November 2. Gin is a
member of the Yee family and he was
shot through the lung and in the leg by
two Yees about half an hour after the
Killing of the On Yick tongman, Gee
Fong WI, in Church alley, San Fran
cisco
MONEY PAID TO VICTIM
When Gins assailants were threat
ened with prosecution the Yee family
agreed to pay SIS week to Gin while
in the hospital and $4,000 to his rela-
tives in case of death. Gin has little
chance to recover.
Yee Toy, laundryman of Mountain
View, was the next of the Yees to be
shot by his own hing ty.y Two local
Yees went to Mountain View Novem-
Der 10. They met Yee Toy on the street
and asked his name but misunder-
stood his answer, believing. he said Gee
Toy. Yee Toy was shot and died in
stantly. His murderers came to San
Francisco and claimed the reward
offered by their family for the head of
any On Yick. The Yees are now try
ing to pacify the relatives of Yee Toy.
1t is probable that at least $4,000 will
have to be paid.
NEUTRAL MEN BEATEN
Lee Shing Don and Zip Quock Wah
were captured by four shrimp fisher
men who belong to the Yee family at
Point San Pedro and terribly beaten on
the supposition that they were mem
bers of the On Yick tong.
The Lee and the Zip families are
very powerful, but neutral. The Yee
family had to pay a large sum to the
men who were beaten.
The issuance of warrants for murder
on complaint of the Yee family against
prominent members of the On Yick
tong when it is known that the men
charged had nothing to do with the
actual killing is another reason why
the Yees are being criticised by the
other tongs.
1t is possible that the Six Companies
may step in and force the Yee family
TO stop all fighting and pay the de-
mands of the On Yick tong. In com
pliance with many requests that the
war be ended the Six Companies has
called a meeting for this evening, when
plans for peace will be made.

FASHIONS IN BABES CLOTHES.
styles Closely Follow Those Adopted
by the Grown.Ups.

Perhaps the young mother may
think that when she comes to make
clothes for her baby she won't have to
worry her head very much as to what's
the fashion OF the day. Perhaps she
thinks that baby clothes are always
the same. II she does. she is very
nistaken little lady. for clothes for the
H.tlest folks show from time to time
many Of the Innovations which make
the garments for grown-ups In the
mode. This is especially SO this
spring. Even the long dresses for In
fants show the princess and empire
lines, and sleeves have diminished
greatly In size. The vogue for hand
embroidery is also emphasized in baby
clothes; not only Is 1t used on the lit
tie dresses. but on the long cloaks and
the dainty little flannel wrappers and
sacques.
II goes without saying that II baby's
mother is the sensible little woman
that she is quite sure to be. baby will
have no frills and furbelows on his
clothes. Simplicity is the fashion TO-
day. And baby clothes reflect the
trend OF the modes. Generally speak
ing, the distinction between baby's
every day clothes and his dresses for
best wear is merely In the quality of
the fabric. When baby Is expected to
look his finest his dress is OF the
sheerest OF nainsook. lawn or long
cloth. and sometimes washable cot
