TONG men PROMISE
TO CEASE FIGHTING
Chief Cook Tells Leaders of War
ring Societies That the
Trouble Must End

Chief Cook laid down the law to the
presidents of the Bing Kong, Suey Don,
Hop Sing and On Yick tongs yesterday
afternoon and told them that If there
was any more shooting in Chinatown
between members of rival tongs he
would hold them personally responsible
and would prosecute them as well as
the actual shooters if found.
The chief had heard that there was
to be more bloodshed between the Suey
Dons and the On Yicks and instructed
Detective George Mcmahon to bring the
four presidents to his office. Mcmahon
did so, and also brought Gong Ting to
act as interpreter.
The chief Informed them of what he
had heard and they promptly denied
that there was any truth in such a re-
port They said there was some little
matter yet to be settled in a quiet way
between the Suey Dons and the On
Iicks, but that would be amicably set
tied in few days. Then all would be
peace.
The chief then warned them that IL
there was any more bloodshed he would
hold the presidents of the tongs impli-
Gated personally responsible and would
have them Indicted by the grand Jury
and prosecuted. They knew from past
experience that he would keep his word.
as he was determined to put a stop 70
these bloody wars

CHILDREN'S COLDS
And THEIR RESULTS
COLDS NOT so HARMLESS AS
MANY PRESUME
Some of the Most Serious Dis
eases Have Their Origin in
a Common Gold.

Children are particularly susceptible to
colds and often serious diseases Of after
life have their foundation in early colds.
A child catches cold but unless il is very
severe no attention is given the matter. 1t
has had colds before and always recovered
and it is not until the little one alarms the
household in the dead Of night and scares
its mother into Mysteries by having Group,
that serious consequences are feared
Another child catches cold and before it
fully RECEIVERS takes another cold and per-
haps before that is over contracts a fresh
one. This succession Of colds or even the
neglect Of the first attack causes Inflammation
Of the mucous membrane, which was at first
acute, to become chronic and the doctor will
tell you that the child has chronic catarrh
from which he will never fully recover.
Another child catches cold, which could
easily have Dee,- cured by proper treatment,
but being neglected develops the most fatal
malady of chill ihood, pneumonia The doc
tor is called and pronounees il lung fever,
and if the child is lucky enough to live it has
developed weak lungs, making it susceptible
10 all lung diseases.
Still another child catches cold, \ stubborn
cough Is developed which lasIs all winter,
sapping the vitality and weakening the sys-
lem, thereby paving the way for the germs
Of other diseases. Diphtheria, whooping
cough, scarlet fever and similar diseases
could often be avoided il each cold received
proper attention.
Every one Of these children could have
been cured by the prompt use Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. A few doses and the
child's cold is gone. IL is a certain cure for
Group and has never been known to fail
When given as soon as the croupy cough
appears, it viii prevent the attack II also
counterscts any tendency Of q cold 70 result
IN pneumonia, quickly dispelling all fear Of
that dangerous disease
Don { wait until the child is sick and then

keep it on hand ready for instant use when
needed Ii is perfectly harmless and should
be kept in every home WHARF, there are young

VACCINATION CAUSE
OF CHILD'S DEATH
Poison in Wound Results in In=
lection and Little One Sue
cumbs to L0ckjaw
Unclean Bandage Believed to Be
Responsible for Fatal Eff
feet of Treatment

Lucien Brachais, the year old son
of George Brachais. painter living at
1920 sixteenth avenue South. died yes
terday afternoon at 80 o'clock of
lockjaw as result of blood poisoning
in a vaccination wound, ca used, accord
ing to a statement pade last night by
DR.. William Ophuls by the placing of
an unclean bandage over the wound
The vaccination took place January
I last when IA other children, pupils
of the Bernal school at Fourteenth ave-
nue. and L street South, were also vac
cinated by DR.. c. r. Bricca, physician
for the public schools. The boy was
sent to his home, apparently feeling no
i'll effects from the minor operation.
According to the father, George Bra
chais, the bandage was not disturbed
until 10 days after the vaccination.
when the mother replaced it with new
and clean one. The following day Miss
Finn, nurse in the public schools,
placed an antiseptic bandage over the
wound and at the time did not notice
any indication of poison. Brachais said
last night that the nurse took good
care of the wound and that he could
not understand why his boy died and
the other II children suffered no i'll eff
fects from the operation.
Dr. William OphulS, president of the
board of health, investigated the case
yesterday afternoon and at the conclu-
sion of his investigation said that Dr.
Bricca was not responsible for the boys
death He said that the mother had
evidently placed an uncIean bandage
over the wound, which caused it to be-
come infected. He declared that the
virus was perfect, a. the other stu
dents had been vaccinated with the
same vaccine and that it had taken
without any bad effects in every CAGE
but that of the dead lad.
The child was taken to the University
hospital last Friday and when it was
discovered that his arm had become in
fected and that lockjaw was imminent
every effort to save his life was made
DIR. Bricca could not be located last
night and no explanation could be Sc
cured from him.
The child probably will be buried by
the city, as his parents are reported to
be in destitute circumstances. The
father said last night that he thought
the city should bear the expense, az
it were originally the cause of his
death.

NATURALIZATION
OF BANK PLANNED
Central Trust Company Calls
Stock Holders Meeting to
Increase Capital Stock

The latest bank TO announce its in
tention to become q national institu-
ton is the Central trust company of
this city The officers of the bank have
issued a letter to its stock holders
calling a special meeting for February
l6 for the purpose of considering the
changing of the amount of capital
stock to 100000 and to allot $500. 900
to reserve.
The main reason assigned for the
proposed change is that 1t will enable
the bank to be in a position to conform
to all changes of the state banking
law that will be enacted by the legiS-
of which proposed changes make radi-
cal alterations in the system of all
banks now under the control of the
bank commissioners.
Although the apparent main reason
is to put the bank in a position to
conform to the new laws, the real rea-
son, which is stated in another para
graph of the letter, is to place the
bank in a position to become a national
institution without going to an extra
amount of trouble and delay. On ac-
cout of new state legislation the Cen
trail trust company will in all proba-
bility become national bank.
The French-American bank has also
announced it's intention of getting un-
der the wing of the comptroller of the
currency, and it was stated yesterday
that the City and County bank, if it
finds the new laws unfavorable, will
also nationalist. At the present time
there are only few large commercial
banks left in San Francisco that are
not under the supervision of the United
States government
