Albany. April 3O.-Governor Hughes to-
day in honoring the requisition Of Governor
Stuart OF Pennsylvania for the surrender
Of Frank y. Hoffstot. president OF the
Pressed Steel Car Company. said in part:
The crime here alleged Is conspiracy to
bribe municipal officers. II would not be
necessary TO prove that the crime was COM
mitted on a particular day. 1t may be
proved by circumstantial evidence, and its
very nature frequently makes a crime OF
this sort susceptible Of none other.
The only question IS whether he should
be regarded as a fugitive from Justice. and
find that he is. and hence will grant the
warrant"

breaking the law. on the walls of the
joss houses; they were torn down over
night. Judge Foster announced that
he would sit as he had done before to
arbitrate and seal a peace pact, no
body appeared before him.
But the numbering stopped. Animosi-
ties were smothered. Somehow, in ways
that Chinatown alone knows, the as
pect of unruff1ed calm was again re-
stored to the little triangle of alien
territory. Nor did Big Bill Hodgins
bring down to his office any more OF
those relics that he had toyed with be-
fore the eyes of his guests.

comes to handling serious situations
among the alien races which infest
that metropolis. He has enhanced 1t
considerably of late by bringing to a
close a murderous war that had been
prevailing for long time between the
members of the rival Chinese societies
that help to make New York's China
town famous. This war has been of
the intermittent variety for many
years. Robert Wells Richie. who has
an interesting article about it in a re-
cent issue of Harper's Weekly, says it
started in the first place over the con-
troll of the gambling privileges in
Chinatown. This developed number
of feuds on the side with a variety of
about one time through the efforts of
Judge Foster of the supreme court of
the state, who had all the leaders of
the Chinese tongs before him, and
succeeded in getting them to sign a
peace pact Several months ago this
peace pact was forgotten and the MUIR
ders began again in Chinatown. There
were more of them than ever. A situ-
alton developed that it did not seem
possible for the public authorities to
cope with. Then Captain, big Bill
Hodgins took a hand in the game, and
in a suave and subtle fashion he
brought order out of chaos in jiffy.
Mr.. Richie concludes his history of
the war IN CHINATOWN WITH LnlS Q0-
scription of how big Bill' Hodgins
ended it:
Just at this juncture a new and very
dynamic element introduced itself into
the conflict. This was Big Bill
Hodgins Irish to the bone, hard-fisted
and soft spoken. They said of Big
Bill when he was up in the gas house
district that when he leaned his $50
pounds against strong-arm man
somebody usually got mashed, and it
wasn't Big Bill. Captain Hodgins was
transferred to the Chinatown precinct
at the moment the killings were on.
He started out right off to settle the
disorder in his own way.
Summons went out from his Office to
Sam Lock, Lou Houck, acting presi-
dent of the On Leongs, Jim Gun, his
lieutenant, and Charley Boston. Big
Bill wanted to see rthem-Quick. All
