But last. night the reckless Tom Funs
was like the pitcher that went to the
well once too often, for in the most
brazen way Tom invaded the heart OF
the Four Brothers territory. and that
organization couldn't stand the insult.
In the natural sequence of Chinatown

the corner of Pell and Doyers streets.
Tom went from there to Gouverneur

lucky man only to be wounded by a
bullet in his wrist
Chu Long Four Brothers man, was
charged with the shooting. He was
locked up in the Elizabeth street station.
Fung is cook by occupation. Last
night, though, he possessed himself of a
paste brush, a pot of paste and a proc

celebration in honor Of the birthday Of
Quan Yam With these implements, for

men were detailed to accompany Tom

They found the doors locked and had to

gained access to the building they found
a Winchester repeating rife lying on the
floor. and a rapid survey of the adjacent
rooms disclosed that all were empty but

The rife was loaded with smokeless
powder cartridges, and the three China
men declared they had never even seen

police station.
The proclamation which Tom Fung
was so determined to paste up at the
Pell and Doyers street corner was, Curl
ously enough. in relation to a man who
was one Of the founders of the Four

birthday celebration the poster an

Four Brothers hold many old scores. It
was declared an act either of reckless

Tom knew this when he went in ad-

licemen to guard him, but he and they
alike forgot to watch the windows ad-
joining the corner.

JEFFERSON MILITARY ACADEMY
POLICE METHODS IN cEBU
istered to Six Cinnamon to Ex-
tort Confessions.

Police methods in the Philippines
sometimes include the third degree
in its advanced stages. The Manila
Times says: Last January six China
men were arrested in Cebu, the charge
against them being that of smoking
opium. Among the policemen who
made the arrest was Mateo Navarro,
who some time later, in February, was
one of the trio that held up and
robbed some Chinese merchants at
Dalaguete, for which crime he was
eventually sentenced to Imprisonment
for three years and eight months.
when the case of the six China
men came up for hearing one of them
alleged that the police had attempted
to extort from him confession by :p
pltcation of the barbarous water cure.
while the other five stated that car
tridges had been placed between their
fingers, whereupon their hands were
squeezed tightly, this torture causing
them to suffer indescribable pain.
Governor Jakosalem caused an in
yestigatton to be made AS a result
the governor suspended for one month
without pay, the sergeant of police
and feprimanded the municipal presi-
dent and the chief of police for the
part they had taken in this local re-
vival of inquisition. The charge
against the Cinnamon was dismissed"

BY this selection Of food the bodily

The result is very marked difference

to this comfortable condition Is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-

WOMEN AS PEARL DIVERS

school work, go to sea and learn to
dive. They are in the water and learn
how to swim almost from babyhood
and they spend most of their time In
the water except In the coolest season.
from the end of December to the be-
ginning of February.
Even during the most inclement of
seasons they sometimes dive for
pearls. They wear special dress,
white underwear and the hair twist
ed up into hard knot. The eyes are
protected by glasses to prevent the en-
trance Of water. Tubs are suspended
from the waist.
A boat In command of a man is as
signed to every five to ten women
divers to carry them to and from the
fishing grounds. When the divers ar
rive on the grounds they leap into the
water at once and begin to gather
oysters at the bottom. The oysters
are dropped into the tubs suspended
from their waists.
When these vessels are filled the
divers are raised to the surface and
jump into the boats. They dive to a
depth of from 5 to 30 fathoms with
out any special apparatus and retain
their breath while remaining under
water from one to three minutes
Their ages vary from 13 to 40 years.
and between 25 to IS they are at their

them any good until she tried Cuti-
