WONG
 VAS MURDERED

Although the first impression upon the discovery of the body of Wong Fong, proprietor of a barber shop on South Second Avenue lying upon his i bed in his room at 222 Madison street i between F o'clock and one o'clock this ! morning, was that he had committed suicide by sending a bullet crashing through his brain, an investigation be- gun immediately by Coroner C. w.. Johnstone and augmented by the eff forts of Sheriff Jeff D. Adams and Night Captain of Police George Bris- bois, led to the belief on the part of the officers that Fong had been murd- cred while he slept. So certain seemed the probability that it was not a case of selfdeStruction but that he had been made the victim of murderer's bullet, Sheriff Adams ordered into custody, Mrs. Jessie Fong F'i, who with her husband, Fong Fi, occupied the rooms in the same building with Wong Fong. According to the other occupants of the house, FOng came home early in the evening and remained until late
 
 Mrs. F'i in the F'i living rooms. The husband of Mrs Fong was strangely missing when the authorities arrived this morning and while Mrs Fi endeav- ored to create the impression that he had gone to Tucson two or three days ago it was hinted that he might have returned without her knowledge Work n O thnnrx- T a,,I the police at once threw out drag net in the hope Of locating Fi
 The body of Wong Fong lay upon his bed, the clothes well drawn up about his neck, his arms folded, and thirty eight calibre revolver with one shell discharged lying upon the floor. The bullet wound was located well upon the that it would have been difficult for the man himself to have inflicted the wound There were no powder marks about the head
 Fong was about twenty-three years old and Mrs Ff appears not to be day over eighteen. Her husband and Fong are said to be cousins and to have
  en months. For three days, about the same length of time that F'i has been absent, Fong has not opened his barber shop. He has notice upon the door announcing he is i'll. He is said not to have been a drinking man and there can be found absolutely no reason why he should have wished to take his life. If he was murdered the motive was not robbery for his belongings were found intact and sum of money was in his trunk untouched although the trunk was unlocked and it would have been easy to have removed it if robbery had been intended.
 The whole affair promises to give the police and the sheriff's office work to do in unravelling mystery.

he would drop the affair like a hot potato" if it was not all it was rep resented to him by Connolly.
 q first wrote the Yuma county recorder" he said, because Con- nelly told me the deed to the 100 acres conveyed to him was in a trunk in Kansas City, but that could easily obtain certified copies of all conveyances.'
 Whether Graves still claims title to the other 100000 acres is not known by officials here, but they stated that these might have been transferred from him to Chicago man named Hitz, whose initials were thought to be A. J.
 The federal officials here said that the government never deed the land to the Indians but merely set 1t aside for their use and that the In dians were therefore never in pos session of full title and could not transfer it.

ASSOCIATED PRESS nIspArcHl

HANCOCK, Feb. i5.-Socialism was mentioned today for the first time as a factor in the Michigan copper strikers situation at the con- gressional hearing. In asking a wit ness if he was a member of so- cialist society, Allen F. Rees, counsel for the mining companies encount- cred violent objection from the union attorneys who asserted that it was an effort to connect a political party with the strike. Chairman Taylor asked Mir Rees what was his object in putting such a question and the latter replied that the attitude of the strikers would be shown to have had an important bearing on the com panies refusal to recognize the Western Federation.
 The witness, Gust Stronger, re- fused to answer and the committee decided it would not compel him to do so
 Do you understand that this com mittee is here for the purpose of the government taking over the mine?" MT. Rees then asked.
 A howl of derision from the audi ence. composed largely of strikers. caused MT. Rees to exclaim above i, the din:
 we expect to show that these miners went on strike with the un- derstanding that if they remained out three months they would be pro- missed that the government take over i the mines"
 That statement was unqualifiedly wrong," shouted o. N. Hilton, coun- 1 sel for the miners. The committee then decided the witness need not answer the question if he insisted on standing on his constitutional rights.
 MT. Rees then asked Stronger if he had not been told in the union, or if he had read in Finnish news papers that the government soon would take over the mines. The wit ness answered in the negative.
 Stronger was placed on the stand to testify to charges that the Quincy Mining company erected a fence across a private road on it's prop erty which afforded the only means the men had of reaching puplc highway from the leased land where he lived. He said he worked TOT the Quincy as a miner and had gone on strike with other members Of the union. Counsel for the Western Federation contended that his rights had been invaded and that he had been deprived of means to reach nostoffice. Congressman Howell as sumed the position that Strengers erievance was against the lessor of his farm who had not guaranteeu him a right of way to public road

BIND WATCHMAN
THEN LOOT SAFE
Robbers Raid Hudson Theatre
and Make $4,000 Haul,
Manager Says.

Charles 0Donnell, Of 444 West 5sth
st., on duty as Waterman at the Hud-
son Theatre, discovered the day watch
man, Patrick DOWNS. Of $50 Ninth sy.,
bound and gagged on the stage OF the
theatre az 1890 o'clock this morning.
After he was freed from his bonds,
Downs said he had been attacked BY
two men, who gained entrance TO the
theatre by pass key. They oyerpov-
cred Downs, then bored a hole in the
theatres safe and opened the door. On
hearing ODonnell Apr --ch they fed.
The safe contained the receipts for the
Saturday evening performance. The
police said the s@fe had not been
looted.
ODonnell called detectives from the
West 6sth st. station, police from the
West 47th 50. station and detectives
from the Lexington av. branch. Dow
mis- described one Of his asSailsnts as
being about six fees tall, smooth shaw
en-. with dark complexion, and dressed
in a dark blue suit.
The version Of the affair given By
Howard Schnebbie, general manager OF

BERKMAN SUGGESTS
BOMBS FOR JUDGES
Explosives Would Be Best
Means Of Recall for Ju-
dietary, He Hints.

Alexander Berkman threw down the
gauntlet to the Emperor Of Germany,
the Car of Russia, the King of Eng
land and lot Of other royalties, past
and present, at a meeting held yester-
day afternoon in the Manhattan Ly-
ceum, in East 18th 81. The occasion was
an antl-War mass meeting.
The arch-anarchist suggested in his
most pleasant manner that much OF
the dynamite being used abroad TO
mine harbors and plant roadways could
be put to much better service in this
country. lie thought, for example, that
some judges he knew would be loath to
sentence offenders after a couple Of
their associates on the bench had been
blown of il.
Berkmar admitted that the war
might serve one purpose He said that
he was convinced that the Socialists
were now awakened 10 the possibilities
of the general strike, because if they
had struck at the right time there
would have been no war. The fact that
nobody understood just what Berkman
meant seemed TO make the point more
effective.
Suddenly Berkman forgot all about
the war and switched to Becky Edel-
son. He said that the imprisonment
Of the militant girl anarchist was the
most portentOus event of the day and
the one deserving the greatest atten-
ton. The audience agreed with him and
cheered the proposition to send a tele-
gram to Mayor Mitchell demanding her
release from Blackwel's Island.
