Philadelphia Cinnamon Victims OF
-Four Brothers Society.
PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-Two
Chinese were murdered late last
night and third fatally wounded In
the Chinese quarter. Both OF the
dead Chinese were members of the
Hop Sing tong. One of the dead is
Chu Nong, aged SO, storekeeper.
The other has not been identified.
The man fatally injured is G. Jong
Sing. The story OF the murder was
told by his son. With Jong Sing,
young Nong was In his fathers store
when two Chinese entered. One was
recognized as resident OF China
town, but the other visitor, Nong
says, came from New York. Both,
Nong said, are members OF the Four
Brothers society.
When the Chinese entered the
Nong store, the New Yorker passed
a note to the elder Nong and then
drew revolver and began shooting.
The first shot killed the senior Nong
and the slayer turned the weapon on
Sing. shooting him in the stomach.
Sing staggered into the street and fell
to the pavement, where he was found
by the police.
Young Nong dashed from the store
and hurried to the police station, a
short distance away, and reported the
shooting.
About the hour Nong was murder
ed, second Chinese was killed on
the third floor OF building former
ly headquarters of the Hip Sing tong.
No one seems to have seen this
murder. A shot was heard and when
the occupants of the floor below
reached the floor above the Chlnaman
was lying In a pool OF blood. There
was no weapon in the room.
As soon as the shooting became
known the police roped of Race
street between Ninth and Tenth
streets and started In to round up
all suspicious persons not known in
the locality. Forty-two were caught
In the dnagnet.
Chinatown is completely surround
ed by policemen tonight.

BY College Correspondent

Rev. and Mrs. JespersOn gave re-
ception to the students, the faculty
and several of their friends at their
new home last Friday evening. Their
elegant and spacious bungalow was
| filled to the utmost, and after an
evening of music and pleasant chat
and the enjoyment of 4 delicious re-
past all departed very grateful to
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesperson for the fine
treatment.
While Professor Young last Satur-
day evening was peacefully muslng
over the all-serious thought of having
arrived at another milestone of his
life, crowd of students and teachers
had quietly assembled suddenly to
break upon his reflections and help
celebrate the occasion with him. At
| ter the party had entered and tend
i cred their congratulations, Mrs.
Young took charge of the evening
program. This had been mapped out
and was rendered exclusively by the
lady members OF the faculty, a fact
to which its excellence is entirely due.
1t was divided into three parts and its
plan and execution exhibited spe-
cial tact and ingenuity. First, the
admiration Of all present was Toasted
on a literary and musical treat on
the composer, Schumann, and the
poet, Browning. After this the
thinking machinery OF all was put to
very rigorous test. when each of
the ladies In succession propounded
a guessing contest with prize to the
winner. Last, but not least, was the
provision for the assuaging of the
then ravenous appetite. when all lin
ed up around a table loaded with the
most palatable delicatessen. As a
token of admiration Mr.. Vissel then
presented Mr., Young with a purse OF
money, and all departed wishing him
many more happy anniversaries and
voting the occasion the most enjoy
able of the season,

ming and the drill exhibition was ex-
cellent and ven worth going far to
see. More than fifty OF the company
were present. The inspection was
under Adiutant General A. NJ. Rowe
Of Boise, Capt. u. A. Lewis OF the
25th U. 8. Infantry. stationed at Fort
Wright, and Lieut. Colonel +. A. Mac
Cali.
The inspecting officers spoke in the
highest terms OF Co. G and gave the
company credit as being equal to any
In the state. and in several respects
in the lead. The inspection was
passed through without a mar and
the boys certainly did credit to them
selves and to the local officers, under
whose command they have been for
the past year.
Arrangements have been made for
the members of Co. to go to Ameri-
can Lake, which is located in the
western part OF Washington, for a
ten days outing the fore part of
August, and to return home before
the primary election.
Attorney General Rowe expressed
himself during the evening regarding
the excellent work that all the
guards OF the state were doing, and
said that the boys were doing good
work and showed excellent drilling.
During the evening photographer
Burns was present and took a snap
shot at the company, the local Off
