CONTESTANTS START
IN FOR BIG COUNT

Some of the contestants in The
Stars Great $4,000 Prize Contest are
adding materially to their count
through the ballots which their friends
are clipping from The Star each day
and depositing in the ballot box at
the Contest office for them. While
these single votes are small they
amount to a very considerable in the
aggregate, and are well worth consid-
ering. Some of the most successful
workers thus far have been those who
are turning in the most little clipped
ballots. 1t is the little things that
count very often, and a few votes
more or less may mean the winning
or losing of a big prize
The Contest Manager wishes to call
attention to the fact that each of the
printed ballots has a date, beyond
which it can not be accepted. A num-
Der of candidates, or their friends, APP
parently have not noticed this, and
almost every week there are a. few
ballots deposited which have to be
thrown out. We do not like to have
to do this, but fairness to all compel us
to live strictly up to the rules in all
points, even though they are seem
ingly of minor Importance.
The Multiple Count.
Tomorrow the big count begins
which marks the closing three weeks
of the great contest. AS explained in

Sweet Pea Not Royal Choice.

In vain did gardeners and horticul
turists in England try to push the
claims OF the swees pea as a corona
ton flower. Queen Mary has decided
that the pink carnation is the blossom
she will carry.
The Windsor, which is a deep pink
is the carnation she particularly fav
ors. but the Lawson, q cerise carna
ton; the Enchantress, which is pale
pink. and the Mrs. Joliffe, which Is sal
mon pink, will also be fashionable du
ring the season. The Worshipful Com

allowed to present the coronation bou
quet and the queen has agreed to &C

One Of her reasons for preferring

CHINESE PUZZLE FOR JURY
Tong Murder Trial a Most Per-
picking Affair.

Wong FOok Coy and Foong Pong. resi-
dents of Chinatown, succeeded In tangling
up murder trial into a veritable Chinese
puzzle in Judge Rosalsky's part of Cen
eral Sessions yesterday. Jung Hing. a
gunner Of the On Leong Tong, is on
trial there for the murder of zee Toy,
one of the Hip Sing Tong. zee Toy was
shot on June II in Pell street Jim Gum,
president of the On Leong Tong, sat at
the counsel table of the defence, while u
representative Of the Hip Sings sat with
James O'Mailey, the Assistant District
Attorney.
Wong said he saw Jung Hing empty a
revolver at zee Toy, and he at once set
out in pursuit Of him. Characterization
by Robert NJ. Moore, counsel for Jung
Hing, brought conflicting statements from
Wong, and the tangle only grew worse
when the stenographer read his state
ments 10 him, for sometimes Wong said
one statement was right and sometimes
the other.
Foong Pong was no less perpexing.
He said he was at his sewing machine
when the shots were fired, and shortly
afterward his foot touched bullet which
was on the floor of his room. Picking 1t
up, he found five more.
To the establishment Of the court and
most of all apparently 70 the mild little
witness. Mr. Moore on cross-examination
elected the information that Foong had
recently done five years in Philadelphia
for manslaughter. Foong was not at all
sure that that was the reason for his
sentence, but his statement left little
doubt.
AT any rate" asked Mr.. Moore finally,
you admit that you fired several shots
and that Lee Dick is dead?'
Il don OF know If II was manslaughter,
persisted Foong, some fellows they
chase me, and / fire one, two, three times.
l do not know if Lee Dick shoot himself,
or if some one else shoot him, or II l shoot
him, but ne dead now"
Foong could not explain how he felt
the bullet with his foot, as he was tread
ing his sewing machine when the bullet
was found in another room. When that
was called TO his attention he simply de-
clared: How could / have found 1t
under the sewing machine IL 1t was found
in another room?"
The defence will seek to prove that Yee
Toy was shot not In tong feud, but In
a quarrel over Gertrude Williams,
Chinatown girl.
