WAR AMONG THE CHINESE
LOSS OF A DIAMOND RING RE.
WIVES DEADLY FEUD.
Several Murders Have Followed and
the Fight Bids Fair to Be
Widespread One.

NEW YORK, April Eff Chu Moy-
Yen had not lost diamond ring in a
hallway at No. 81 Bayard street Satur-
day night the war of the longs would
not be on in Chinatown. Nor weuld it be
on in Philadelphia, with the lively
promise that it will spread to Boston and
Washington.
But Chu Moy-Yen did lose the ring
and charged Ing Kay Chung with having
had it. for time, at least, very shortly
after it had slipped from his finger. Be
cause of this Ing Kay Chung lay in wait
in Mott street early Sunday afternoon
for Cku Moy-Yen and shot him down
as he came out of the Port Arthur res
taurant.
A more purely personal quarrel could
hardly be imagined, but Chu Moy-Yen
was called a Four Brothers man; Ing
Kay Chung was openly an On Leong
Tong. and the rancor which followed
The abduction and killing of Bow Kun,
the slave girl. last year had neither been
soothed nor forgot.
Peace Pact Shattered.
The compact between the Four Broth
|ers and the On Leongs that they would
live at peace for the sake of Chinatown
prosperity was broken before Chu Moy-
Yen had been lifted from the sidewalk,
and last night. every other man who pass
ed along the streets of Chinatown was an
officer.
When the news of Chu Moy-Yen's fate
reached No. Is Pell street, Four Broth
ers man was started hot foot for Brook
Ign to find one Of the On Leong witnesses
at the Bow Kun murder trial. when ne
got to Pearl street and Park row he saw
F.. hung Fook. a thirty third degree On
Leong, and he could see no reason why
he should go further. So Chung Fook
died.
No question remained then that it was
war between the longs. ana 10 MAKE axe, -
clear to all concerned Ing Mon was killed.
The Four Brothers say he died because
he had once been member of the other
Tong. and that he had been ordered TO
post a bulletin at Pell and DOyers streets
declaring where he stood then. The On
Leong men say Ing Mon died a result
Of q most unfortunate mistake, and the
police are inclined to agree.
A Fatal Mistake.
The Wah Shung Social Club. where Ing
Mon was killed, is in neutral territory.
although it is one Of the gambling clubs
opened within the last month by the Four
Brothers. An On Leong scout made his
way into the club Sunday afternoon and
came out with the word that Wah Shang,
a very active Four Brothers man. was
dealing at the head Of the right hand
table.
A moment later an On Leong gun man
slipped into the room and fired point
blank at the place he had been told to-
But just as he came In Wah Shung. to
the head of the other table, and 1t was
Ing Mon that died.

TEDDY" Absent, Capital Men Drink Tea

The five O'Clock tea" Is considered
by Washington hostesses who have
the spirit of continental entertaining
as a happy medium between the
breakfast and the dinner. Breakfast
usually occurs at an hour when men
are already busy with their affairs.
while the dinner is looked upon as too
ponderous
With the beginning Of the Easter
season the president and Mrs. Taft
will again inaugurate their lawn par
ties, which is a different name for
afternoon teas. Meanwhile, Lent is in
the prOpitious season for such infor-
NAL entertainments. especially Of an
afternoon.
Washington men would now be Civ
ing more teas if they lived in quar-
ters suitable for such affairs. The
II hotel in Washington that is actual
ly giving a tea hour does not appeal
to the smartest.
Teas at the Chevy Chase club, at
the Country club and similar places
are also considered Instantaneous,
TllSL, TIE ulSldllCc is tOO Sledl, anu
attendance at them and the return
home to change for dinner requires
much time,
H]ostesses in the capital do not
deny that teas without men are very
insipid.
With the presidential approval OF
this revival Of afternoon teas-in fact,
with the desire of Mr.. Taft to see his
assistants and the naval and military
officers sparkle a little more in the
social firmament-there is no question
that the tea will become within the
next twelvemonth the most s~atisfac-
tory and popular social function. They
are also comparatively inexpensive,
and for this reason many men who
cannot afford to give large parties OF
formal character will have an oppor-
tunity to entertain.

GARLAND DECIDES SEN. PLATT DEAD
DECISION IN THE EXPRESS RATE
CASE AGAINST RAILROAD
COMMISSION
CAN'T FIX EXPRESS Rates
Court Holds that Commissioners Had
no Authority to Make Schedule
for the Rates Com
planned Of

Sioux Falls-A decision handed
down by Judge John f. Garland in the
federal court in the express rate case
is a complete knock out for the state
railroad commission in its effort to
fix express rates, and practically ends
the attempt on the part Of the railroad
commission to fix express rates in
South Dakota.
On December Il, 1909, the railroad
commission issued what Is known as
"Different Tariff No. |" which was to
go into effect January IS, 1910. Be
fore that time the express companies
procured a temporary restraining
order preventing the commission from
attempting to pat into effect its new
schedule pending a decision from fed
eral court. The railroad comm ssiOu
filed a demurrer to the complaint Of
the express companies, setting up lack
of jurisdiction. This demurrer was ar
gued several days ago and Judge Car
land has handed down his decision,
the closing paragraph of which is as
follows:
THE words such schedule refer to
the rates established by the act and
the power given is only to change,
modify and establish a rate in such
schedule that has been found to be
unjust or too high or discriminatory.
The legislature certainly would not
have zone to the trouble of establish
ing legislative rates and in the same
law provided that the railroad COM
mission could %abrOgate them as soon
as they went into effect by making a
new general schedule. 1t seems c'ta"
that the legislature for fear it might
in some case do an injustice by MAX
ing a horizontal reduction in rates BY
sections 5 and 6 of chapter numDe
1-9. intended to provide a remedy to
the express companies or any person
interested to complain in partic lar
instances of the injustice OF the rate
which would be created by the pro
visions of section 4. AS the cO1rt Is
of the opinion for the reasons herein
stated that the board Of raj road com
m~issiOners had no authority to make
a schedule for the rates compared OF,

whether chapter 159 is valid or no
