GOTHAM CHINANIEN MAY
SIGN PEACE TREATY

New York, April 12-There was
another shooting in Chinatown to-
night The victim this time was
Foong Hong, a laundryman He was
leaving his room when another Chi
nese fired three shots at him. One bull
let hit him in the left side, making
a painful, though not fatal wound.
The assailant escaped Foong Hong
was not a tong man so far as the po-
lice can ascertain and they are at a
loss to explain the shooting.
Tonight's shooting may delay the
signing of a peace treaty between the
warning tongs.
An attorney who represents the
Four Brothers society explained that
an agreement signed by his faction
would be presented tomorrow to Judge
Warren B. Foster, who once acted as
Intermediary in a feud of the celes-
tials, in the hope he could win the
signature of the Ong Leong tong. The
of the Ong Leongs to sign
the peace agreement was vouched for
by an attorney who represents them.
This was before the shooting, how
ever. Commercial relations are re-
sponsible for the anxiety of the Chi
nese to end the war. Customers are
turned away from Chinatown by the
frequent affrays and the business of
the celestials has suffered greatly.

have contracted.
Hartridge already had been paid

Canadian Statesman Introduces Meas

Ottawa. Ont, April 12.-Regulation
of trusts is the object of a government
bill which Mckenzie King, minister of
labor, offered today for adoption by
the Canadian parliament. The bill
provides where complaint is made
that a trust or a combination is oper-
ating unduly to enhance prices or for
restraint of trade. a commission shall
be appointed with power to make
thorough investigation.
There will be three commissioners.
one nominated by the parties making
the complaint, one by the trust COM
planned against, while the third, who
is to be the chairman, must be a Judge
of a superior court
If it is found that the complaint is
justified, the commission shall advise
measures to correct the abuses or
they may advise that the tariff pro-
lection on the articles produced by the
trust be revoked. If the trust does
not obey the finding by the commits

In urging approval of the bill Mr..
King said its object was not to do
away with trusts and combinations. A
lesson had been taken from the ev-
perience from the United States, as
it mas been found impossible to en-
force the Sherman law without de-
stroying business.
The purpose of the Canadian bill
Mr.. King continued. was to insure the
people from combinations and to see
that the trusts did not take advan-
tage of their control of lines of pro-
duction improperly to raise prices.

the same material as the covering.
The tail dropped off soon after Mrs.
