POLICE FEAR TONG WAR

Late Saturday night George Coo,

horrible screams in an alley near 226
w. 22d st. Rushing through a yard
he fired five shots at figures running
out of the opposite end of alley.
When the police arrived they found
Ching Yen, laundryman, lying in
puddle of blood on the bricks with his
head split open. Today an inquest
will be held and the cause of his death
will be inquired into.
In the meantime the police are in
vestigating the killing thoroughly to

Chicago.
Last night members of different
longs engaged in revolver battles in
San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
Police of Oakland, Los Angeles,
Sacramento and Fresno have been
notified, as it is believed that another
Tong war is on. These shootings are
regarded as ominous as representa-
tives of various Tongs ware about to

Stolen Jewelry Recovered in Friedman's Store When Reader Remembers De scription Seen in Want , Columns

A Republican want ad'' resulted yesterday in the recovery of stolen jewelry valed at about $500 and in the arrest of the confessed burglar. who gave his name as Ernest Stewart
 Stewart is negro, and is also known as Russell Williams. The jewelry, two diamond rings and diamond stud, was stolen from the residence of Dr. Henry T. Braxton, $50 North Fourth avenue, last Saturday after noon. The front door of the physic- ian's residence had been 'jimmied" and lady's handbag containing the jewels was taken from the hall rack.
 It was while Stewart was disposing of two of the diamonds in the jewelry store of Nathan Friedman, Washing ton street and Central avenue, that The Republican ad came into ser vice as a detective w. J. Noting ham of the Service Cleaning Works was in the jewelry store. and heard Stewart negotiating for the sale of the diamonds He remembered the description of the stones printedein The Republican, and, being fair

judge of jewels. he immediately rec that were advertised.
 When the police obtained the stones from F'riedman's they had been dis mounted The third diamond, a small one. was recovered in the office of loan company, the ticket for the loan Stewart
 Chief of Police Brisbois and Officer Morrell arrested Stewart after he had been confronted by Henry Williams, a negro barber. Williams told the of ficers he had gone to Friedman's with Stewart. Stewart at first denied that he had stolen the diamonds, and at tempted to explain that a companion, whom he was to meet at Tempe at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was the person who had stolen them. Off cers were at the appointed spot in Tempe yesterday afternoon. but Stew arts friend did not appear. Here is the story of how small and comparatively priceless want ad
 
 covery of jewels which, to Dr. BraX- tan, were not worth only their in- trinsic value, but which also treasured the association of ancestors who had kept them in earlier years.
 MT Nottingham went to Fried mans yesterday morning to make in quiry regarding a position for a friend who was coming from the south. While he was there, the negro entered with a diamond ring which he showed to MT. Friedman. Mir Nottingham, who has some familiar ity with precious stones, recognized the diamond as a valuable one worth, probably, $300. Its possession by a negro was a suspicious circum- stance. and the suspicion of MT. Not tingham was considerably strength ened when the negro asked s75 for it.
Arizona republican., 1914-05-16

Mir. Nottingham noticed another negro hanging about uneasily in front of the jewelry store, and he satisfied himself that there was a relation be- tween him and the diamond seller. MT. Friedman ultimately gave the negro SS0 for the stone.
 While this transaction was in prog ress, Mrs, Nottingham remembered having seen an advertisement of lost diamonds in The Republican. This advertisement had been inserted inn mediately after the robbery ana was intended to mask the fact that a rob- bery had been committed. MT. Not tingham secured a copy of the paper and, refreshing his memory regarding the advertisement, he called up Dr. BraXtan and told him of the diamond sale. Then he hurried to Chief of

 He and his mother and sister passed through Germany, Austria and France, and while crossing the Austro- German frontier he was arrested and threatened with execution as an Austrian trying to escape military duty. He managed to prove his identity, and was finally allowed to go. t ....
 In Paris, MT. Beach was compelled to pick out the trunks belonging to his party at the railroad station, and carry them on bis back to cart.

Light for Denomination. !.

Says Hartford writer: Attorney General John H. Light has announced his candidacy for reelection. The office of Attorney General is essentially judicial and should be filled by a lawyer of ripe experience and sound judgment The work of the office has greatly increased with the growth of legisla- ton and the importance of its duties is second to none among the departments of the state government. This is mani fest from the great number of opinions rendered. ...
 At the Republican Convention held at Hartford on September IA, 1910, MT. Light was nominated for the office of Attorney General of the State, and the next day Governor Weeks appointed him to said office to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Hon. Marcus H. Holcomb. He was after wards duly elected for the term of four years commencing on the 4th day of January, 1911. Judge Light has rendered large number of important opinions, some of them Involving con- stitutional questions. In every in stance that an appeal has been taken to the Supreme Court from Judge Light $ opinion the Court has sustained his opinion.
