MPLICATf CHINESE
SOCIETY PRESIDENT
Consul to Investigate the Part
Taken by Wong Du King
in Tong War
Ambassador at Washington
Takes Hand in Local
Warfare

Acting on instructions of WI Ting
Fang. the Chinese ambassador at
Washington, Consul General Hsu Ping
Chen will make a full investigation of
the part taken by Wong Du King,
president of the Bing Kung tong. in the
present war between the On Yick and
Suey Don tongs. The local repre-
sentative of the Chinese government
has been striving for weeks to effect
peace between the warning tongs. 1t
was only after he threatened TO have
the relatives of the Suey Don and On
Yick tongs in China severely punished
that both tongs agreed to sign peace
compact
Information came to the peace COM
nittee and the consul general w ednes-
day that Wong Du King was secretly
plotting to lend the assistance OF the
lighting men of his tong to the Suey
Dons for the purpose of wiping out the
On Yicks in Sacramento.
In addition to this information, the
consul general yesterday received q
list of the tongmen who have been
murdered by Bing Kung tong lighters
since Wong Du King has been presi-
dent of that tong The list includes
the names of two Chinese Interpreters
killed during the last year. They were
Louie Mong. in Fresno, and Lee. Hoy
in Sacramento. These Interpreters
were being employed by the govern
ment in prosecuting Bing Kung tong
men at the time of their deat.l.
Wong Du King denied all knowledge
of the killing and asserted yesterday y
that it was false statement made TO
injure him.
Consul General Hsu Ping Chen sent
another messenger to Wong Du King
yesterday. informing him that he would
be turned over to the civil authorities
at the first sign of a renewal of the
war between the On Yick and Suey
Don tongs. The president of the Bine
kungs was also told yesterday that
the Chinese ambassador in Washing
ton would be told of the fighting rec
ord of his tong and that his part in
the tong wars of the last Is years
would be reported to the ambassador
as well.
Last evening a meeting was held of
the Lew Quong Chung Chu family. of
which Lew Wah Chu, the Suey Don
man who was murderously assaulted in
an O'Farrell street laundry. was a
member. The members of this family
decided Iast night to prosecute Wong
Dip and Wong Yu, the two On Yick
men charged with attempting to MUIR
der Lew Wah Chu.
