HOP SINGS MAY
AID ON YICkS IN
WAR OF TONGS
Chinese Society Threatens to
Participate in Conflict of
the Factions
Arrest of Member of 0rganiza-
ton Is Swiftly Followed
by an UItimatum

The Yee-Yick fued now disturbing
Chinatown was given fresh impetus
yesterday, when it became known that
owing to the arrest OF Lui Leon at
San Jose in connection with one Of the
killings, the Hop Sing tong had been
drawn into the trouble, and it was COM
monty rumored that the latter or
ganization had sent an ultimatum to
The Yee family, declaring that unless
the arrested man was set at liberty by
next Thursday night they would join
forces with the Yicks.
Lui Leon is a Hop Sing man, and
the claim of his fraternal brothers is
that he is innocent of the crime on
which he was put in prison. The Hop
Sings declare that the Yee man killed
met mis- death through a mistake on
the part OF some other Yees. who,
thinking him z Yick shot him. Dis
covering their mistake later, they fed
and Lui Leon was arrested on suspicion.
The Hop Sings now claim that il is up
10 the Yees TO acknowledge their mis-
take and get the Hop Sing man out
of trouble.
The story Of the Yee clan is that Lui
Leon is a professional gunman and,
though a Hop Sing man, hired himself
10 the Yicks for price. They declare
that he had been identified by num-
Der Of white persons and that, even if
they so desired, they could not get
him out OF jail
The expectations in Chinatown are
that next Thursday night viii see the
night q three cornered one and the kill
ing recommence until some truce can
be arranged in the meantime.
The ultimatum was kept secret. The
advent of the Hop Sings into the i'm
broglio. while making the situation eX-
tremely grave, leads TO a hope among
the Chinese merchants that it will
hasten the end Of the feud, inasmuch
as the Yees will be outnUmbered by
far and thereby forced TO come to
terms Should the Hop Sings fulfill eX-
pectations the treaty to keep peace
until March viii be completely shat
tered
In the face of the new phase to the
affair, several of the Yees sought hid
ing yesterday and additional guards
were maintained.

FREScO OF ANNUNCIATION
is THE WORK OF DA FORLI

About five years ago Signor Sacconi,
the architect, discovered in the Pan
theon in Rome behind an altar picture
a fresco of the annunciation. At the
time il was attributed 10 Mitoncazzo
Romano, and among those who ac-
cepted this view were NJ. Jacobsen and
Doctor Bernardini, says the London
Globe.
Now the fresco has been thoroughly
cleaned and subjected TO more com
plete inspection the connoisseurs con-
slider il the work of Melozzo r1a Forli.
The discovery was made by accident.
The picture had to be taken down to
do some repairs TO the wall and then
under a thick layer of dust the work
men came across the painting The
coiors had suffered badly. but the con-
ception is said to be very fine.

tenn a new connection will have to be
made in every instance, a a new cost

URGES DUAL SYSTEM
The committee gives 10 other reasons
why both propositions / and should
be carried. They are:
1. A bond is not debt until it is sold.
.. The preponderance of the expert legal ties
timouy favors the validity of the proposed bond
issues being within the city's bonding rights.
3. A vote against either proposition imperils
both.
T. Each additional inhaoitant is an additional
water asset. Shall it belong to the city or to
the private corporation?
s. To carry both propositions win reduce the
water rates Is Fer cent.
g. Vote for both propositions, and take the
water system from the corporation and give ii to
the city.
4 We must have more water. We need it
ment of the Spring Valley property to in
crease the immediate supply and relieve the
water famine In the outlying districts.
s. Thousands of people suffering from the
water scarcity. Hundreds of families are forced
to buy their water from travelling carts or TO
carry ii long distances. Factories have left the
city because they could not get water with
which to run.
o. Spring Valley has abused the city. Vote to
take the municipal water supply out Of its un-
progressive hands.
10. We want municipal ownership of the water
supply row. Vote for both propositions aud i'm

Dual Proposition

Champions of municipal ownership
and the acquisition of the Hetch
Hetchy valley and Lake Eleanor water
supply met before the Iroquois club In
the assembly room of the Pacific build
ing yesterday afternoon to debate the
advisability of including the Spring
Valley plant in San Francisco's water
system. Walter Macarthur, Ralph NC
Leran, Thomas E. Hayden, former SEN
ator M. h Mead and Isidor Jacobs ear
nestly argued for the passage OF botn
propositions. Max Pepper ana Daniei
OConnell counseled vote for Hetcn
Hetchy alone, and advised the defeat or

city too many years to be paid any fur-
ther money.

HAS RARE MERIT
Arturo Bernardo Makes Light

Impersonates Musicians

Arturo Bernardo is an Orpheum inn
portation of real merit. This Italian
protean artist quickly convinced his
audience yesterday afternoon that he
is possessed of rare versatility. His
lightning changes seemed almost i'm
possible until the audience was given
a glimpse behind the scenes. where
two active assistants stripped him of
one costume and quickly adjusted an
other as he presented the several char
acters of a playlet. He first present
ed "Gerolamo's Escapade,7 in which he
portrays a waiter, a countryman, his
wife. a wandering Snowman, a coquet,
a professor, a soubrette and a police
official.
Bernardo also got down with the or
chestra and gave clever representations
of Wagner, Lizst, Gounod, Meyerbeer,
Verdi Mascagni and Sousa. 1t is dur
ing the presentation of comedietta.

his method of making his quick
changes. AS the audience begins to un-
derstand it all, Bernardo mystifies it
again as he steps forward in one cos
tune after another in response to
quickly succeeding curtain calls.
