The screen is painted on one side

CHINATOWN loses
ITS old GLAMOR
Internal Reform Has CIamped
the Lid on the Notorious
District.
SUMMING NO MORE
Visiting In New Works Oriental Quar-
ter No Longer Has Thrills-long
Wars Given Place to Busi-
ness.

New York.-Reform has put the lid
on section of New York city that was
notorious in the old Summing days;
Chinatown has lost its glamor and Its
charm. No longer is the Chinatown Of
old the haven for the professional
guide, although a few sightseers still
ask to be shown over the district. A
few years ago it was possible for the
guides to stand on the spot where a
Hop Sing Tong member had assaSsi-
mated an On Leong Tong follower the
night before. Now these spots have
been forgotten, so long has ii been
since a killing has taken place.
Gambling has been practically wiped
out. The better element of Chinatown,
the Chinese themselves, agreed that
too much money was invested In bust
ness there to permit tong wars to con-
tinue. So a peace parley resulted IL
an agreement to stop the killings. On
ly once in several years has this agree
ment been violated. The business men,
through their associations, have main
tanned q close watch on the unbidden
guest to the district, and his move
ments are followed for fear that he
might violate the tranquility that now
abides.
Modern Cinnamon In Control.
With the moving away from the Sec
ton of the bad men, some of whom
were sent to prison for long terms,
their places were taken by the more
Americanized Chinese. They no long
er wear pig tails" Modern shoes and
clothing have replaced the Oriental
costumes and many Of the Cinnamon
speak very good English. The young
er generation have had the advantage
Of education in the public schools, for
the great mass Of the people who now
live in Chinatown were born In this
country.
With the ending Of the tong wars
some of the landmarks soon passed.
Also the thrills for visitors have dis
appeared. In the days when the glory
of Chinatown was at its height, saloons
flourished in all their garish splendor.
There were singing and dancing wait
ers who attended to the business of
serving customers.
