ARREST OF LEADER
REVEALS SECRETS
Frisco Tong Made Business Of
BIaCkmaiI and Murder.

San Francisco, June 24.-Black
mail, murders, opium smuggling and
smuggling of coolies across the Dor
der were revealed in letters and docu,
ments taken upon the arrest of
Wong Do King, head of the Bins
Kung tong, according to information
given out by federal immigration off
cials.
Death, say the immigration men
was the penalty by ali who opposed
or attempted to betray the schemes
of the highbinders. The deportation
of Wong will be sought at once and
other Chinese powerful in many
American cities will be prosecuted.
Wong for twenty years has been
head of the Bing Kungs, the most
warlike and powerful of the Chinese
secret societies. Widespread levying
of blackmail, said to be the principal
activity of the Bing Kungs, was made
effective by a score of gunmen on
salaries, with bonuses for killing "big
men," The gunmen also protected
the gambling dens and owners OF
Chinese and American slave girls. the
letters show.
Many letters bear upon the recent
tong war which extended the length
of the Pacific coast, some of them
giving specific instructions for the
killing of various men.

PREPARING FOR
GREAT REUNION
Gettysburg Battlefield Be-
comes City of Tents.
BLUE AND GRAY TO MINGLE

Every State in the Union VIII Be
Represented by Federal or Con-
federate Veterans at the Ami
versary of the Great Conflict Of
Fifty Years Ago.
Gettysburg, Pa, June 24.-The hills
of Gettysburg, where the armies OF
Meade and Lee pitched their tents
fifty years ago, are fecked with can
vas, harbingers of the tented city
which will soon arise on the battle
field.
The army of Civil war veterans
from the North and the South-40,-
900 of them-are coming, some few
in thread worn uniforms and all with
out their muskets, to hold a jubilee
reunion on the fiftieth anniversary
of the battle. Some of the scouts
are already here; the advance guard
will bivouac on the field within a
week. the rank and file will follow
them not more than forty-eight hours
later.
Every star of the forty-eight in the
American flag is expected to have
here its own quota of veterans. They
will come as the guests of the nation
al government, and of their re
spective states and territories, which
Jointly will spend more than a mil.
lion dollars for their entertainment
and comfort
The big camp is pitched on that
part of the battlefield which lies
southwest Of Gettysburg. On nearly
800 acres of contiguous ground 1000
tents and more are going up under
the supervision of the war depart
ment. The camp lies partly on the
scene of the first days fighting and
is not far from High Water Mahk,
is not far from High Water Mark,
where Pickett's famous charge shat.
tered against the Union lines.
Five Thousand Tents Ready.
Five thousand tents have been erect
ed for the exclusive use of the veter-
ans. The camp has been laid out like
city. Each street and each tent has
number, so it will be easy for any
veteran to look up a former comrade
or foe. In the center of the camp will
be the headquarters of the chief
quartermaster. The veterans will be
encamped according to states.
Although each tent is designed to
accommodate twelve men it has been
planned to assign only eight veterans
to each, so as TO make then as COM
Portable as possible. Each veteran
will have a separate cot, blankets and
mess kit, which will contain a plate,
cup, knife, fork and spoon and will
become his personal property when
he breaks camp. Each tent also will
have two hand basins, water bucket,
candles and two lanterns.
The principal events of the celebra-
tion will be held on July /, 2, and A.
The great celebration will be in full
swing on the morning Of July /, ex.
actly fifty years TO the day from the
time the battle opened to the west of
the town.
The exercises will be held in great
tent, one of the largest in the United
States, capable of accommodating
about $4,000 persons. This tent is at
the southern end of the camp, beside
the Emmettsburg road, down which
Lees army went after the close of the
three days battle.

Chief Executive Declares Immediate

message TO both houses of congress
in joint session:
"a Mr.. Speaker, Mr.. President, Cen

personal comfort, perhaps, in the
cases of some of us, considerations
of personal health even, dictate an
early conclusion of the deliberations
of the session. But there are occasions
OF public duty when these things
which touch us privately seem very
small, when the work to be done is
so pressing and so fraught with big
consequence that we know that we
are not at liberty to weigh against
it any point of personal sacrifice
We are now in the presence of such
an occasion. 1t is absolutely inn
perative that we should give the busi.
ness men of this country a banking

We must not leave them without the

We are about to set them free by re-

war they have waited for this eman-
cipation and for the free opportuni-
ties it will bring with it. 1t has been
reserved for us to give it to them.
Now both the tonic and discipline
OF liberty and maturity are to ensue.
There viii be some readjustments of
purpose and point of view. There will
follow period of expansion and new
enterprise, freshly conceived. 1t is for
us to determine now whether it shall
be rapid and facile and of easy ac-
complishment. This it cannot be un-
less the resourceful business men who
are to deal with the new circum-
