CHINESE TONG WAR IN

Commercial Organization Re-
ports 1t Is Unable to
Stop Outbreak

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Once again
New York's Chinatown is on the verge
of war. After fortnight's continuous
effort to bring about permanent peace
between the rival tongs, the special
committee of the Chinese public cham
ber has reported that it's efforts have
come to naught. A majority of the
Four Brothers have refused to accept
the terms tentatively approved by the
leaders and the On Leongs are unwill-
ing to make further concessions. Chu
Chun Tang, commercial attache to the
Chinese legation at Washington, has
declined to act as arbitrator in the
difficulties. and the Chinese minister
will be appealed to again.
A committee of Chinese merchants
has recommended that the police be
urged to stop gambling of all forms in
Chinatown, to arrest all persons carry
ing arms and having no lawful means
of support, to jail the lesser criminals
and to deport the greater ones to
China. This, they believe, is the only
effective way of keeping down the dis
turbers.

SIOUX INDIANS IN EUROPE

Government to Bring Back Dis

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Consul
Watts at Brussels, having reported to
the Bureau of Indian Affairs that the
thirty-nine Sioux Indians connected
with an American wild west exhibit
,tion are dissatisfied and desirous OF
returning to their homes on the Pine
Ridge reservation in South Dakota,
the Indian bureau has cabled instruc-
tions that the red men be brought
back,
1t was recently reported to the bureau
that the Indians were stranded oW-
ing to the shows poor season. The
manager of the company, however,
claimed that he could fulfill his con-
tract obligations with the Indians and
that they were willing to remain. The
officials asked the Americal consul to
investigate the matter and their ac-
tion was determined by his report that
the red men wanted to come back.
The payment of their transportation
will be made from the funds deposited
by the manager of the company to
guarantee that the Indians would be
taken care of and sent back to their

BUTCHERS PLAN TO CUT
OUT PROFIT OF PACKER
Will Buy Cattle and Do Their Own
Killing and Dressing

CHICAGO, July 2S.-Lower prices of
meats will be brought about il the
plans of the United Butchers of Amer
lea IRE put into successful operation.
The retailers declare that the packer
is to blame for the high prices of
meat and now plan to prove it by
eliminating that Individual.
tohn H. Scofield, secretary of the
butchers national organization, says
an attempt will be made at the con-
vention here, August 15 to 10, to re-
organize and establish independent
cooperative abbattoirs, rendering
plants and tanneries, and he expects
arrangements to be made for trying
the experiment in Chicago.
1T question has been under con-
sioeration <or some time and we now
feel certain that the project will go
through" he said. This move will
enable the retail butchers to operate
independently. We propose to kill all
our cattle and to market the by-pro-
ducts. With the great profit that
would accrue from the by-products we
would be able to retail meat to the
consumer at least so per cent cheaper
than the prices now asked and still
make a healthy profit
