New York Chinatown's
Mayor" Tom Lee, Dead

New York, Jan. 1.-THE depart
ed days of New York's Chinatown
with its gambling houses and opium
dens We're recalled with the death
yesterday of Tom Lee, known as
mayor" of that quarter of the city
and for years picturesque figure in
Tong battles.
Mayor" Tom was 76 years old
and was the leader of the On Leon
Tongs, who, after years of warfare
with the Hip Sing Tongs, during
which fifty Chinese and three white
men were killed, gained Chinatown
ascerdancy.
For a while during the bitter tong
warfare Tom Lee was a fugitive
from Chinatown, living in the Bronx.
Just before he fed a clock near the
bed in which he was sleeping was
shot to pieces, and the same night
one of his tongmen, an actor, was
shot to death during performance e
in Chinese theater. Another at
tempt was made on Lees life when q
huge flagpole was hurled at him
from the roof of a building.
The tong warfare was finally ad-
sions, where q peace pact was sign
ed, and Tom Lee moved back to
Chinatown as its mayor" having
since lived in Mott street.
Tom Lees wife, who was a white
woman, died a few months ago. Two
sons, one an actor on the American
stage, and the other a missionary in
China, survive him.

lives. Commander Bagley gives un-
stinted praise to the behavior OF Of
ficers and men and especially COM
mends by name ten of them.
The submarine, the report says,
was not sighted until fifteen minutes
after the destroyer had gone done.
But the torpedo was sighted half q
mile from the ship and Lieutenant
s. F. Kalk, officer of the deck, who
afterwards died from exposure, I'M
mediately ordered a maneuver to
avoid being struck. The torpedo,
however, was too near to allow the
destroyer to clear it and 1t struck
fairly with a heavy explosion. The
ship quickly settled by the stern and
the engine room was soon Hooded
The radio antennae and main mast
were carried away.
Most of the men not killed by the
explosion got clear of the ship and
reached RATS or wreckage. Eight
minutes after the torpedo struck at
4.21 D. m, the Jones sank stern first.
Efforts were made to collect the sur
vivors in a motor dory and then the
nearest land was headed for to Sc
cure aid to the remaining survivors
on the RATS. After twenty-three
hours the dory sighted a patrol ves-
sci and the commander of the patrol
station reported to Commander
Bagley that the other survivors all
had been rescued.
Seaman Philip ]. Burger, of Lam
singburgh, N. Y, is highly praised
in the report for his efforts to clear
the vessels motor sailor, which
would have saved 20 or 80 lives. He
stuck to the job until drawn under
water with the boat, being rescued
himself later when he came to the
surface,

Booze or Coal Take
Your Choice, Say the
ClearGeld Co. "Drys"

Clearfield, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE
Ciearfield County Dry Federation in
half-page advertisements has start
ed it's fight to drive the saloon out
of Clearfield county, and everything
in its power is going to be done to
give the knockout blow at the COM
ing license court to be held here
January 21. Remonstrances were
signed in all the churches of the
county, and from now on a house-to-
house solicitation is to be made to
get signerS to the rem onstrances.
In their half-page advertisement
the federation says: "Quit kicking
about coal. OF course there's n coal
famine, but what of it? During the
last fiscal year the breweries in
America produced 60,729,509 bar
rels of beer. 1t requires 24S pounds
of coal to produce a barrel of beer.
A pound of coal for a pint of beer.
In other words the breweries In
America used up 7,530,395 tons in
coal during the year in making
beer. One hundred and forty load
ed ships were lying idle in New
York harbor unable to sail for lack
of coal. Have you heard of any
breweries lying idle for lack of coal?
Schools and factories are closed for
want of coal. Have any breweries
closed for want of coal? Booze or
coal?"

Housewives to Learn Scien-
tific Cooking Methods
From Woman Lecturer

The food lectures designed for the
housewives of Harrisburg will begin
newt Monday and Donald Mccormick,
food administrator for Dauphin coun-
ty, emphasized to-day the necessity
OF every woman attending them. He

of this important event. Mr.. Niesley
began to-day a system of education
on the subject by distributing ten
thousand slips among the Harrisburg
schoolchildren.
Mr.. Mccormick points out that
these demonstrations and lectures are
not so much for a saving and eco
nomical purpose as for education. If
we are to release part of the wheat,
what can we use In it's place. and
how? And If we are to reduce our
meat consumption, what foods can we
use that will Adequately replace
meat?
Miss Martha Pitman, the State Col
leSe expert who will conduct the
course, arrived in Harrisburg to-day
and made all preliminary arrange
menus lot the next week.
These lectures are part of the gem
eral scheme planned by Mr.. McCor-
mick looking toward increasing the
farm produce next year. Another
committee made up at the meeting
yesterday consists of Prof. Downes,
of the local schools; Prof. McGinnis,
OF Steelton, and Superintendent Sham
baugh. who will take up in particu-
lar the disseminating of information
among the schools of Dauphin county
Each borough will have it's school
principal for head of affairs; each
township will be looked after by the
school board president.
Mr.. Mccormick to-day gave an en-
phatic word OF praise for the Poster
DISPLAY Company, of Harrisburg,
which has volunteered its service and
many of its big display boards to the
advertising for food conservation.
The largest one stands in front of the
post office and the whole country
hereabout, Middletown, Steelton,
Hummelstown, Marysville and many
other towns have been supplied with
these timely signs.
