Continued from Page II

employed A.. s. Humphreys as attor,
ney, and the offer Of the Irter-Island
company was replied to in a sting
ing letter by Humphreys in which he
rejected, on behalf OF Honolulu Har
Dor No. "a. the idea of arbitration
and declared that the captains and
mates would stand pat.
Another development Of last night
was that new demands were submit
ted by the strikers to the company.
Honolulu Harbor insists that the In
ter-lsland must pay an increase Of 20
per cent. in wages to all masters and
mates, and the company was given
until noon today for a compliance.
All morning negotiations were on
between the two parties to the dis
pute that has tied up the biggest
transportation company in the Terri
tory. u s. District Attorney Brock
ons was seen this morning in confer
ence with Inter-Island officials and
later conferred, 1t is said, with Attor-

editor of the Young China Free Press,

leader in the ranks Of the revolution
airy party which accomplished the es-
adjustment of the Chinese republic,
was found yesterday in This apart
ments at Al WaDerly place under cir
cumstances which are thought to in
dictate suicide. Wong had been dead
for about week. He is thought to
have ended his life by inhaling gas.
Chinese of the place, which Is the
headquarters of the Ming Yung Be-
nevolent Association. said that they
knew no reason for his taking his life.
They secuted the idea that his death
marked a new method in tong wars.
Wong is said to have been a member
of the Hip Sing tong, and it was
thought at first that enemies might
have caused his death.
Wong Ducks body was found
stretched on the bed and the gas jet
was partly turned on. Careful exami-
nation showed that at the time the
keyhole was plugged.
Wong Duck was last seen at the Of
flee of the Young China seven or, eight
days ago. Since then numerous in.
quiries were made for him. His rooms
at the Ming Yung building were lock
ed and it was supposed that he had
gone for trip.
The Wong family came from Can
ton. 1t is probable that the Hip Sings
will start an investigation This is
said to be the only suicide of prom
inent Chinese in this city, as self-de-
struction among that race is rare.
Wong was about 36 years old and was
born in San Francisco. He was not
married.
