CHINESE
FIGHT IN
new YORK
[rN1rnp rnnss 1nAsnp w1nE.l

New York, April lila heavy po-
lice guard was put on in the Chinese
quarter today in anticipation of fur
ther outbreaks between the Hip
Sing and On Leong tongs, following
the four assassinations yesterday in
New York and Philadelphia.
In Philadelphia, Chu Nong and G.
Jong Sing, both members of the Hip
Song tong, were shot down by
hatchetmen, presumably from the
On Leongs.
In New York Chung Fook, a laun-
dryman, was killed while standing
on a street corner, and Ing Moon,
another laundryman, was killed In
his room by an assassin. In all the
murders, the victims were shot
down.
Cho Moy Yen, a wealthy mer-
chant, was also shot. Four bullets
penetrated his thighs. He will re-
cover.
AS soon as the news of the shoot
ing here reached the police, the
quarter was roped off and AZ sus-
poets were arrested.
The cause of the removal of the
war has not been ascertained. 1t Is
believed, however, TO be a continu-
ance of the fight which started be
tween the tongs when Bow Kun, a
Chinese slave girl, was murdered
last Fall.

Objects to the Work.

Salem, April y, 1911.
Ed. Journal: We, the property
owners on North Front street, want
square deal. The city council has
seen fit to give us notice to pay for
something we have not received, and
all of us feel sore about the work so
far done, because said work is not ac-
cording to specifications. Screened
gravel and common earth is not the
contract, but that is what we got.
Now the street is nothing but bed
of mud, instead of clean Macadam,
as it should be. Besides, it has only
from four to six inches thickness, in
stead of seven inches. Some have
paid, and are not satisfied; simply
were scared of the police officers. We
are willing to pay, but want a job
according to the contract, and have
the same finished. We wanted the
contractor to put in gravel instead of
dirt, but were told dirt was cheaper
than gravel, and it is wrong for our
city engineer to allow such a job to
be done.

MPOSSIBILITY AND POINTS

BOSS DEMOCRAT.

New York, April I1.-Discussine
Senator Albert j. Beveridge and the
Indian situation following the re-
cent republican state convention
there, the New York Sun today sug-
gests Beveridge as the democratic
presidential candidate in 1912.
The Sun declares Bryan is not
even a possibility
"Of course it is conceivable that
Democratic leaders, awakened by
past disasters may get together and
institute some new departure, neg
lecting populists and other drags,
but is it likely?
1T was made evident years ago
that the south really favors protec-
ton on the Aldrich-Cannon plan. 1t
is the old question whether the vot-
ing millions can be divorced from
the indsutrial thousands. 1t is the
question of intelligence against
superstition. If the latter should
prevail, Beveridge obviously would
be the DemOchatic candidate for
president in 1912"

HIS PICTURE AND so DOES E.
A. GUARDEAU WHO WROTE
THE LETTER FOR WELLER,
ASKING WOMAN TO MEET HIM

Tacoma, Wash, April 11.-With
all circumstantial evidence pointing
to Charles ]. Weller as the man who
sent the decoy letter which lured
Mrs. Henry Schulz to the woods
where she was murdered, the police
of the whole Northwest are cooper
ating with the Tacoma force today
in an effort to locate the man. Wez-
Ter was last heard of in Portland
Wednesday, two days after Mrs
Schulz was murdered on a lonely
road near Gigharbor. His picture
was Identified yesterday by Willie
Burrell, a messenger boy as the man
who gave him letter last Monday
and paid him 35 cents to carry it to
Mrs. Schulz Wezler's picture was
also Identified by E. A. Gaurdeau, OF
Portland, as the man who asked him
to copy the letter to Mrs. Schulz.
With this evidence added to the
fact that Weller, who was recently
divorced by his wife, is alleged to
have threatened her life and also
the life of her mother, Mrs. Schulz,
the police have dropped every other
clew, believing that Wezlers cap
ture will mean the solution Of the
mystery.

Washington, April lit looks like
Speaker Cannon will not get that
auto" after all
Today the house, on an aye and
no vote, declined to approve of the
conference report on the legislative,

In the bill was an item of S25OO

II was a noticeable fact that % in

against the acceptance Of the report.
Cannon has been having a hard

Seattle, Wash, April 11.-Ac-
quaintances of Charles j. Weller,
wanted as the slayer of his mother
in-law, believe that he has fed to
Alaska, though they seem TO have no
accurate information TO confirm the
belief. The steamer of Seattle sailed
for Alaska last Tuesday, the day after
Mrs Schulz received the decoy let
ter taking her to Gig Harbor and the
supposedly sick sister, and then her
death.
The steamers Humboldt and Port

another paragraph, and it apeared
that the speaker would be allowed to
ride in the machine upkept by the
government after all.
The action today on the part of
the house has dashed these expecta-

tions are that Uncle Joe will be COM

FAV0Rs CHURCH ADVERTISING Rev. James W,ikramer of Spokane Says Liberal Use of Printers
 Ink Pays.

I hp ye drawn people to hear my serp ons by advertising. l have at tre cted them with moving pictures, hot suppers, pink teas and flowers and flags If 1 have had any degree of success in Spokane 1t Is because of the liberal use of printers ink" said Rev. Dr. James w. Kramer, pastor of First Baptist church of Spokane, Wash. There Is something worse than sensationalism It is the inability of the church to produce life. The church that does not advertise Is be- hind the times and is nursing empty pews, and he who rails against the minister for advertising is suffering for congregation. l am not an ad- vocate of ragtime methods or vulgar preaching. but do plead for the church which is humming plant of machinery. with live coals in the fire box, smoke curling from the stack and every belt, wheel and pulley go- ing. I believe, too, that the people need instruction and that minister of the Gospel, Is first, last and all the time teacher. There must be life.

Very Little Interest
 In the Big Series

Little Rock. Oct. 17.-Less interest is being taken in the Worlds cham pionship series between the Philadel- phia Americans and Chicago Nation als this year than is customary, and so far as Arkansas is concerned and there was no place in Little Rock where the game is being detailed to- day.
 In former years there was always some player On one of the contestlng teams who was we'll known all over Arkansas, and this probably increas- ed the interest.
 No arrangements have been trade for receiving any of the games in dc- tall as they are going on, though al- though should the series prove very close. such arrangements will prob ably be made for the final games.

PARALYTIC GERM
Scientist Discovers the Germ Which Produces Infantile
 Paralysis.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-The dis covery of germ which probably causes infantile paralysis was ..~an- nounced last night at special meet ing of the college of- physicians held here to discuss that disease
 Dr. Allen J. Smith, dean of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania and director of the school of tropical diseases, recently founded in that institution declared that in the blood of sufferers from the disease had been found a proto- goa. or low form of animal life which he thinks may prove to be the germ which causes the disease. It
 resembles the germ which causes sleeping sickness and in his opinion is carried from one victim to anoth- CT by insects.
 Dr. Charles K. Mills and other well known physicians corroborated Dr. Smith in his opinion.

"The Message tho Thlng."

"The telegram" says Advertising and Selling, 'is common, little crude, yellow and black affair. but with what avidity we reach for it.! That is because we have learned to associate 1t with information of i'm portance. All the costly deckle-edge stock and exquisite printing and em- bossing in many colors that money can buy could not add anything to the face value of the telegram. The mes sage is the thing. If your advertising gets the reputation of having the real meat in it. people will reach for 1t and hang on to it."
 It Is up to the business man to give his daily message in the morning newspaper telegraphic importance The successful advertisers are those whose contributions to the news ot the day are just as much sought after by readers as the stories of current happenings that are flashed over the wires.

Increased Activity in Coal
: Trade at This Port.
MANY VESSELS HERE NOW
Movement Of "Black Diamonds" from
. Mines is on Increase and Busy
Scenes Will be Enacted at Local
Piers During Next Few Weeks.

In spite of the comparatively sligh'
demand for coal in the New England
States. the coal trade at this port Is
rapidly picking up after having oe&
clned for TWO months. A large num-
her of vessels are on hand for coal car
goes and they are being handled as
quickly as possible. Many other YES
sells are enroute here now for coal car
goes and the remainder of this month
should see increased activity at the
coal docks.
According to the northern news
papers. the factories and mills In New
England have been overstocked WIN
coal Tor some time and as result
the trade out of this port, Norfolk,
Baltimore and Philadelphia has fallen
off rapidly during the past month.
Newport News is now doing more
business than any of the sother coal
ports on the Atlantic seaboard, there
being more vessels here at this time
than there are at any of the other
ports named.
just at the present time there is q
slight scarcity Of coal on the local
railway yard, but the movement from
the mines is increasing daily and II
is expected that within a few days
there will be plenty of coal on hand
TO meet all demands.
In spite of the lethargy in the
northern coal market, more coal has
been shipped out of this port to date
than was shipped during the corre-
spending period last year and there
rs every reason to believe that the
record of 1900, 900 tons made in 1909
wilt be surpassed in 1910.

Young Woman Who Followed
Negro prophet" Dying.
EXPECTED A MIRACLE
ietim OF Dread Disease Was One
of Crazed Females Who Joined
Jonah Sturdivant, the Negro Preach
er-Bigamist.

Reports from Washington say that
Gertrude Monsen, one of the four
young white women who followed
the fortunes of Rev" Jonah Samuel
Sturdivant, the negro preacher and
self-styled prophet who formerly Nv
ed in this city. is dying at George
town Hospital from pellagra. The girl
IS said to have contracted the disease
while fasting and scourging her body
in the belief that the prophet would
be released from prison by miracle.
The Rev" Jonah is now serving
three years in Jail for bigamy, having
been convicted last February. Hilda
Johnston, the young Norwegian girl
who married the negro, is said to be
dying at Freedman's Hospital in
Washington.
Sturdivant lived here for some time
He became convinced that he was
prophet, so he said. and went 10 New
York. where he opened mission in
which he preached his own remarka-
bic creed. The metropolitan police
soon chased him out. and then he
went to Baltimore. In the meantime
re had Joined forces with a Swede
named Mills Nelson and had picked up
his collection of four white women.
The Baltimore authorities had the
gang under surveillance. and when 1t
developed that one of the features OF
Sturdivant's style of worship was
merciless beating of the women by
prophet" when the spirit moved him.
the whole outfit was taken into Gus
tody.
During the investigation that fol-
lowed it developed that Sturdivant
had at least one negro wife before
he married the white girl. He was
given a speedy trial and sentenced TO
three years. While the trial was in
progress a negro woman OF this city,
swore out a warrant against the pris-
oner charging him with bigamy. How
ever, as the prophet" still has more
than two years to serve in the -Balti-
more Jail. and is wanted on various
charges by the New York and Phila-
delphia police. it is not very likely
that he will be brought back here
for trial.
