CHINESE
Two Leaders Trapped in Oak
land and Other Arrests
Throughout State Are
Planned Tonight

) Penetrating the secrets of the most
powerful and desperate Chinese black
mail and bandit ring that ever existed
in California. the Oakland police this
morning arrested the king and queen
Of the ring. George Leon, alias Leong
Wing. and Min Yok Hing, his beau
tiful slave wife. The arrest OF six
agents ofsthe ring is expected in Oak
land before night, and the police of
San Francisco. Stockton. Fresno, Sac
ramento. Marysvi1le and Bakersfield
are expected to make arrests stimuli
taneously
RING ACTIVE FOR YEAR
For more than a year the ring has
been operating. Depredations Of itr
members have been more terrible ant
far reaching than any tong high
binder blackmail or robberies. The
crimes of the ring have been directed
only against family men of the
Chinese. Tong" members were never
molested by the agents of the Chi
nese corporation of crime
For this reason the leaders and
agents of the ring have evaded identi-
fication and arrest for years, ever
though the police of every city on tn
Pacific coast where there are Chimes.

Even the federal authorities have
been unable to lay hands on th
domineering. all powerful organize,

Burglaries, holdups. robbries. black
mail and even murders are 1ayed i
the door of the ring. George Leo
and his wife are the brains of tht
gang.
The gang has had the protection O.
the highbinder tongs because many o.
its agents are affilisted with the Chi
nese societies and because the ganf
never molested members of these so
cieties.
VICTIM GIVES UNGUARDED TIP
The Identification of George Leop
and Min Yok ing has long been
known to the police of all the big
cities of the coast But the police
were never able to find them, victims
Of their depredations always having
been afraid to give any information
for fear of terrible consequences.
The arrest was brought about
through the inadvertent admissions
of victim of the gang who was
robbed Saturday night in Oakland.
Excited, the Chinese victim jabbered
out about the couple living in
lodging house in the Oakland China
town.
Detectives Kyle and Neils, with
Patrolman Burbank, went to. the
place at Seventh and washington
streets this morning and found the
much sought bandit leaders
Before the Chinese could offer re
sistance, with revo1vers in hand, the
officers handcuffed them and hurried
them out of the house

DIPHTHERIA Time
NEAR AT HAND
The State Board Sends Out Warning,
Urging Parents and Health Off,
GERS TO Take ALI Precautions.

Ricbmcnd, Aug. 20 -virgisia
may eHpe.i the appearance of
diphtheria during the next few
weeks and should begin n; cncc
to protect itself against the Los
sible spread of the disease. ac-
cording to a bulletin of the State
Board of Health given out TODAY.
Already the board has received
reports of scattered cases of
diphtheria and has been called
on for antitoXin, which is tax en-
by health officers to be a sure in
dication that the seasonable an
pearance of the disease this au-
tumn will be according to sched-
ule. Diphtheria, it is pointed
out, never fails to show itself in
Virginia during the last two
weeks of August and often
claims heavy toll before the
advent of the cool weather which
is popularity supposed to favor
its spread.
Anxious that the early cases
may be treated and carefully
quarantined, the board espec-
tally warns health officers and
parents to keep a watchful eye
on the first cases. Experience
has shown" says the bulletin.
that our failure to properly
care for the early cases of diph-
liberia is largely responsible for
the spread of the disease during
the fall and winter. These early
cases are just as virulent as the
later ones and if neglected will
certainly scatter the disease
broadcast. The only sure way to
protect the State is to see that
every case of the disease is
quarantined and not released
until a archaeological examina-
tion shows that the germs have
disappeared from the throat of
the patient.
The board likewise calls atten-
tlon to its arrangements for the
distribution of antitoxin and re-
minds the public this remedy
can be had at the lowest price
from the Office of the board of
health.
