LEY Associated Press. !

AHMED ABAD, British India, Nov
14.--Lord Mimic, viceroy of India, and
Lady Mimic had narrow escape yes
terday from being killed by bombs.
They were driving in street when
two bombs were thrown at their car
riage. A dragon riding alongside
spurred forward and with outstretched
saber intercepted the first bomb, hurl-
ing it some little distance into a sand
heap. The second bomb struck the
Viceroy's jemidar, a native lieutenant,
holding an umbrella over Lady Mimic,
and fell harmlessly to the ground.
Neither bomb exploded, as the soft
sand acted as a buffer. On examina-
tion they were found to contain am
monium- -picrate.
just prior to this as the carriage
passed through a street a bomb eX-
ploded some distance away
Police and others attracted by the
explosion ran up and found a man on
the ground with his hand blown off.
He proved to be an innocent by
stander. The bomb throwers escaped
during the excitement.
Attempts have been made in India
against Lord Mimic, Lord Kitchener
and Sir Andrew Frazer, lieutenant
governor of Bengal, and many other
and for year or more there
has been fear of an uprising against
British rule.

STEAMER IS SUNK:
96LIVES ARE LOST
ORIENTAL LINER RUN INTO BY
BRITISH VESSEL
Passengers and Crew Did Not Have
Time for Panic-5oat Sinks in
Two Minutes-Sixty-one
Persons Rescued
1Ry Associated Press

SINGAPORE, Nov. 1.-THE mail
steamer La lyme of the Messageries
Maritimes service, running between
Java and Singapore and on her way to
this port, collided early this morning
with the steamer Onda of the British
India line and sank two minutes later.
Several European passengers, in
Guiding Baron and Baroness Beniczki,
officers and eighty-eight others, COM
of the crew, were drowned.
The rescue of siXty-one persons
from shoals of sharks formed a thrill
ing incident of the wreck.
The accident occurred in a haze at
O'Clock in the morning. The vessels
We're steaming at fair speed and the
La lyme was cut almost in halves.
There was no time for panic nor for
any attempt on the part of officers to
get out the boats. Most of those on
board were caught in their berths and
carried down with the vessel.
The force of the collision brought the
Onda almost to a dead stop. Engines
were at once slowed and boats were
lowered. The rescue work proved
thrilling, for not only were the res
cuing party impeded by the darkness,
but shoals of sharks already were at
tacking those clinging to pieces of
Wreckage.
Sixty-on epersons from the Inflated
steamer finally were dragged into the
boats and brought by the Onda to this
port. Many had been bitten by sharks
and several were severely injured.

TONG FEUD HAS
SIXTH VICTIM
MEMBER OF YEE FAMILY Is
KILLED IN STREET
Alleged Slayer Not Known as On Yiek
Man Is Captured Several Blocks
Away from Scene of
Murder
tRy Associated Press. l

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.--The
feud between the Yee family and the
On Yick tong, which has resulted in
the murder of five men since the be-
ginning of the month, claimed its sixth
victim today when Yee Zip Wo was
shot dead in the Chinese quarter. Gee
Gong, who is not known to be an On
Yick man, but is member of another
powerful family, was arrested near the
scene of the shooting and charged with
the murder. A revolver containing
Ave discharged shells was found on his
person, and he answers to the de-
scription given by witnesses who saw
a man running from the place where
Yee was shot.
Yee, it is said by the police, was a
noted gunman of the Yee family,
The murder occurred on one of the
main streets of the quarter, but at a
time when the sidewalks were desert
ed except for a few children. These
witnesses say that Yee was walking
slowly up the street and had passed a
vacant lot, when a Chinese stepped out
from behind a signboard and fired at
him. Yee staggered but clinched with
his assailant. Several shots were fired
in quick succession and Yee fell with
two bullets through his head. His
dSSdlidiil Qc1oiiSu up 1AAS SN'SNh N~iiN NAN
appeared.
Gee Gong a few minutes later was
halted several blocks away. The po-
lice were gathering from all directions
and as Gong could not explain his
business satisfactorily, he was taken to
the station, where a revolver was found
in his pocket.
The death roll of the feud now
stands at four members off the Yee
family, one On Yick and one member
of the Gin family, supposed to have
been killed by mistake.
The war arose over the elopement of
Bo Cue, a girl belonging to an On
Yick, with one of the Yees. An arbi-
tration committee fixed on a price to
be paid, but the Yees refused to settle.
According to Chinese customs, the On
Yicks were then privileged to seek
blood vengeance.
Two Yees We're the first victims and
two Chinese are now in Jail awaiting
trial on murder charges.
Warrants for the president of the On
Yick tong and for Tong King Chong,
secretary of the most powerful tong,
the Chez Kung, or freemasons, were
issued charging them with conspiracy
to cause murder, but they have not
surrendered to the police.
Since the outbreak of the feud special
precautions have been taken to pre-
vent bloodshed in the Chinese quarter.
A score or more detectives have been
added to the regular squad of patrol
men on duty at night.

A UGUST PETER CARLSON also
" known as Peter August Widell
a. was shot to death Friday night
by an unmasked man, about 25 years
old. who had no intention of robbing
him.
1t is believed that vengeance and not
| robbery was the motive.
This is the newest development in
the mysterious killing which occurred
Friday night shortly before II O'Clock
near the corner of Thompson and West
Twenty-third streets. From bits OF
information gathered here and there
It Is now believed by many that Carl
sons killing was a deliberate murder,
planned long before it occurred.
A woman may be involved in the
case, for it has been learned that
Carlson's past was clouded because of
an arrest on a charge of indecent eX-
posture.
Robbery as a motive for the killing
Is no longer given as a theory by many
who have investigated the case. Carl
sons pockets We're untouched when
Policeman Claibourne found the body
thirty seconds after the last shot was
fired. Carlson lay on his back, one
hand under him and the other thrown
across his abdomen. The murderer had
ample time between the firing of the
third and the fourth shots to rifle
Carlson's pockets, but this was not
done.
A. NJ. Kupfer, manager of the West
ern District Messenger company, 534
Center place, and Arthur Davey, one
of his employees, saw the entire affair.
from the moment Carlson was halted
until the murderer ran.
Saw the Shooting
Here is Mr.. Kupfer's story in his
own words:
"Davey and I were delivering bum
dies in a White Steamer auto. Our
machine makes little or no noise. We
We're going west on Twenty-third street
