The New York Chinatown went on
a rampage sunday. When the smoke
cleared up and the police finally had
control of the situation, two Cinnamon
We're dead in the morgue, another had
barely escaped death, and restaurant
keeper was thanking his gods that an
attempt to hold UP his cashier had
failed Chung Fook, standing on a
street corner, was shot three times
in the chest. and Ing Mon, IL laundry
man, was found dead in his store with
{, bullet hole in his side. Another
Chinaman has three bullets in his
thigh and several others are slightly
injured.
This is but another outbreak in a
long catalogue of crimes Ever since
Bow Kim was murdered in her room,
some months ago. two New York tongs
have been at war. Crime has been
heaped on crime, and murder has fol-
lowed murder. The New York police
the situation; the willy Cinnamon battle
every attempt at capture and the
natural reticence of the yellow race
Keeps the police from securing any
clue as to the whereabouts of Of
tenders. Conditions which made pos
sible the escape of Leon Ling have
covered the retreat of every Chinese
murderer in the last six months, and
have practically licensed murder in
Chinatown.
The police of New York must put a
stop to this at all hazards. because
crime in Chinatown may mean crime
in the rest of the town, and the failure
of the police to capture notorious
criminals in one part of the city will
only embolden criminals in other parts
of the city to like crimes. OF course,
this is a great deal easier said than
done. and it is much more possible
to tell how Chinese murderer should
be captured from a distance than from
the interior of Chinatown. We sup
pose the New York police are doing all
that any man can do, and we know
tIdL lNey are Htdueu Dy detectives
who are unexcelled in this country.
The real solution of the question lies
in the destruction of Chinatown--not
by the demolition of every laundry
chop suey house, restaurant and dope
| joint in Chinatown. but by the Danish
ment of all offenders from the confines
| of the Chinese quarter. The police
! have power TO forbid an undesirable
| to settle in the community, and while
| the police may not have power tc
| compel every Chinaman to close up his
| shop, they certainly have the powe,
/ to compel all those under suspicion tc
remove to other quarters. II this bt
done on large scale, and If the un
desirables are gradually weeded out il
all large cities, it stands to reason
that the American Chinatowns vii
cease to be, despite the communal in
i stincts of the Orientals. With tn
passing Of Chinatown would pass mucl
of the Chinese crime which now cover
our police blotters and disgraces GU

gave a talk on 'Mormons and Mormon
ism" and as he lived for many years in
Palmyra, N. Y. where Joseph Smith,
the founder of the sect, claimed to have
discovered the golden plates containing
the doctrines of the faith, the talk was
of much interest. Mr.. Conant traced the
travels of the Mormons from New York
to Missouri and then to Utah, where they
settled and have since been located.
He gave a summary of their bible, their
religious views and beliefs and also
touched on polygamy. He also told of
the present status of the members of the
faith and how they are today entirely
controlled by the president Of the church.
