CARRIES FORTUNE TO CHINA
Oriental Long Figure in New Yorko
Underworld Returns to Enjoy
Ill-Gotten Wealth.

Sing Lee Hop has quit Chinatown,
He has deserted the dark squalor Of
Pell and Mott streets for the Jade
idols of Shanghai from whence he
came nineteen years ago. He has q
fortune of some $4,000 which he
tucked away III his blouse, before
stepping into a private compartment
on an overland train to San Francisco,
where he sails for home, says the New
York Times.
Sing Lee Hop, an opium smoker
himself, made his money as guide
showing yap-Wagon visitors the vice
of Chinatown. He weighed only 80
pounds and was siXty-three years Il.
His expression never changed and !.
soul seemed shriveled with his yea
of watching the lusts of flesh.
He lived back of q Bowery hashery
with "Old Horse and Wagon" another
Chinatown character. who is 50 far
as police annals show. the only Chi
nese ever arrested for vagranCy. They
had known each other back in the
Orient, and while one was improVi-
dent and the other tLNifty, the Tie
held them.
With the passing of SIG Lee Hop
the last of the Chinatown characters
ruled by Chuck Corners in his paimy
day, is gone. Sing Lee was a bundle
Of wickednesS. When he was not act
ing as a guide he was smoking opium
and gulpine hot tea. He had the
mean eyes of surly boar and it was
said in the chop suey places that he
had. with a wicked, sharp knife, slit
three throats of drunken men.
But before the police he was like
stone. He wouldn't talk and they
never had anything on him. Sing
Lee was not without his love affair.
He gave much of his money to
wanton-a peroxide creature of the
slums who held forth in Chinatown
cafes. He taught her to smoke the
pellets of i-un and she was carried
screaming biting and kicking out of
the crooked streets and into a mad
house where she died.
Once year Sing Lee carried lechee
nuts and rice and placed them on her
grave-a Chinese custom. He found
that she had a son and through an in
stitution he had the boy educated, but
never saw him. 1t was the only spark
of good that he seemed to have. Those
who know him say he had three wives
