LOCAL TAILORS TO
JOIN ASSOCIATION
Businessmen to Form Part of
National ORGANIZATION

Steps have been taken by a number
Of the leading tailors of this city
toward establishing in San Francisco
a branch of the newly organized Ma
tional association of merchant tailors
of America. the object Of which is to
promote the interests of the craft in
every legitimate way. The initiative
was taken at a recent meeting of tall
ors at the st. Francis hotel and was
given fresh impetus at meeting of
the publicity committee, consisting of
J. P. kelleher. W. G. Mcmahon and H.
Jacobs, which was held yesterday.
Nearly all the large cities of the
country are represented in the national
organization, which was formed last
month, and of which Owen Owen of
Washington D. c., is president.
A quality label has been adopted,
which will appear in all the advertise
ments of the merchant tailors belong
ing 10 the association. BY means of
the organization the tailors expect 20
secure earlier and more varied assort-
ments Of goods, to develop the highest
type Of designing and TO promote and
reward the better character of work
manship among journeymen tailors.
Misleading statements and unfair or
improper representation OF goods or
prices will be discoura ged.

TONGMAN TO HAVE
LAWS PROTECTION
Yee Yin Jung, Who Testified of
Murder Pact, in Danger
of Death

zee Yin Jung, the old On Yick tong
man who took his life in his hands by
testifying in detail OF the conspiracy in
his tong to kill zee Foon Wo, for
whose murder Jew Book Hew is now on
trial, recognizes that he walks in hour
~ danger of death because of his re-
markable story. Judge Dunno assured
court proceedings that he would be
given all possible protection and i'm
pressed upon the white haired witness
that if any one intimidated or threat
ened him he should report it to the
court instantly. Policeman Robert Will
liams will continue to guard the wit
ness until after the trial.
zee Yin Jung submitted to a three
hour cross examination by Attorney
James NJ. Hanley yesterday morning,
but the lawyer did not shake his testi-
mony in any essential particular. With
a semihumorous expression on his face
the witness repeated the story of the
meetings of the On Yick tong. at which
10 hatchetmen were armed with auto
matte pistols, told that the dogs were
well fed" and instructed to Kill or 10
of the Yees.
EVERY SYllaDi5 OF every worn VI
every one of the witnesses for the
prosecution was a fabrication from top
to bottom" declared Attorney j. q.
Alexander after the case for the people
had closed, and we will prove 1t.
There is terrible conspiracy among
the members of the Yee family TO send
this poor yellow boy, Jew Book Hew, to
the gallows. All the testimony you
have heard, gentlemen of the jury, has
been perjured testimony"
The first witness called for the de-
Tense was zee Fun. zee was asked by
the defense why he swore to John
Doe" warrants for the arrest of the de-
PENDANTS. He explained that he did so
because if their true names had been
mentioned they would have been noti-
fed through the Chinese press and es-
capped.
Don't you take great interest in this
case?" asked Attorney Alexander.
Il certainly do considering that six
members of my family have been
killed" was the unexpected answer.
Detective Steve Bunner testified that
when Jew Book Hew and Ho Kim Hew
were arrested zee Din faced them and
said: Jew Book Hew shot my cousin
the first time and Ho Kim Hew shot
him the second time"
Jew Book Hew thereupon spoke to
Ho Kim Hew in Chinese and zee Din
interpreted the words to mean, You
keep quiet-say nothing"
The trial will be resumed today.
