THE TONGS At WAR AGAIN
Truce Ends and Hope of Peace in
Chinatown Abandoned.
BOTH SIDES REJECT TERMS
Better Element May Appeal to
Chinese MISUNDERSTANDING
Feeling Loss of Trade.

A shooting ARRAY may be expected in
Chinatown at any time In the next two
weeks. The truce declared last week in
order to give the leaders freedom to talk
peace was ended yesterday and hope of
peace abandoned
The special committee of the Chinese
Public Chamber reported late on Tuesday
night that q majority OF the Four Broth
ers, especially the younger element. had
refused to accept the terms tentatively
approved by the leaders, and that the
On Leongs are unwilling to give in fur
ther than to indemnify the loss they have
caused the Four Brothers by forcing them
to remove from their stores in Mott street
the territory of the On Leongs. The On
Leongs are willing TO do this only when
the Four Brothers agree to be responsible
for the payment of about SIS, 900 due from
a member OF the Four Brothers to some
On Leongs who were former associates Of
the Four Brothers in business

What is the best way to end this

THE best way" he said, SIS to stop gam
bling Of al forms in Chinatown, to arrest
all persons carrying arms and having no
lawful means of support, to jail the lesser
criminals and 10 deport the greater ones
20 China Unless this is done, I believe
there will be no peace"
Referring to the damage done to bust
ness because of the feud, another mer-
chant said that a year ago his store had
q retail trade amounting TO about $4,000 q
month. but since the feud broke out his
trade has decreased to about s2,600 It
was said that many persons now avoided
Chinatown for fear of being accidentally
shot
The persons responsible for the feud,
according to well Informed Chinese, are
leaders who are reaping financial benefits
Since the feud broke out, 1t is said, every
one OF the three thousand Chinese bearing
the name of either Lau, Chong, Kwan or
men Of their clans for money to support
the war Some have contributed as much
as $50. The money is used to pay law
yers' fees and the expense Of keeping from

Leongs are said TO be spending money
lavishly for the entertainment of and
presentation of gifts TO those who can, but
do not, stop the feud-
Some of the better class OF Chinese wish
that a grand jury would investigate the
case and also look into the seeming mac
tivity OF those who are on police duty in
