Shooting and Hod-Up =
In Ne1U York Chinatown
Threaten Tong War

who does not believe that there are
fifty stages Of undress into which a
Chinaman can wriggles does not
know Cinnamon.
The murder of the young laundry
man, Leong Yung, is the first Of it's
kind in seven years, and it was about
as long ago that the On Leong longs
and the Hip Sing and the -Four
Brothers society buried the Ratchet
and agreed to forget past differences.
Therefore, when some one started
the rumor that there was to be a re-
crudescence of the days Of Mock
Duck and Tom Lee. everybody's
nervous temperament became mani
fest, including that of Chinatown it
self.
Assistant District Attorney P.
Francis Marrow questioned several
persons who were in the pool room
when Leong Yung was killed, but
like the three sacred monkeys, they
saw nothing, heard nothing, said
nothing.
1t was generally known that Leong
Yung had been expelled from the
Hip Sing longs last February, and
Josie Meyers, Yung's white wife,
said that her spouse had been warn
ed that he had better leave China
town.
The police have been trying to find
out why Yung was expelled from the
Hip Sing Tongs. The reason is
clouded, the general belief being that
Yung was suspected Of disclosing
their secrets. Also it was said Chi
nese gamblers believed he was in
league with the police.
Chinatown does not believe that a
tong war is pending, but if it Is, like
Patrick Henry, they say: LET it

Confession of Killing
OF Henry T. PIERCE Is
Reported by Police

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. I'm a
signed statement given out by the
police early Thursday, Peter D.
Treadway, one Of the trio under ar
rest here in connection with the kill
ing of Henry 7. PIERCE, manufac-
turcrs' agent, who was beaten to
death in his apartment here Novem-
Der %, is alleged to have admitted
that he and "Al" Smith, also known
as Marion Elliott, were the slayers.
Treadway, in a verbal statement, ac-
cording to the police, assumed full
responsibility for the killing and did
not mention Smith as having taken
any part in it. In both statements
he absolved J. A. Moss and Marie
"Boots") Phillips, the other two pris-
oners, from any blame, declaring
they were only innocent witnesses to
the killing.
Thursday Treadway is quoted by
the detectives as saying that Smith
struck the blows which knocked
PIERCE to the floor. Smith is the
only one of the four suspects not yet
apprehended
Robbery was the motive, according
to the alleged signed confession,
which says that Treadway and
Smith, unknown to Moss and the
girl, formed a plot on the night
of the killing to hold up Perce and
that they suggested the party" in
his apartment for that purpose.

COTTON
STORAGE URGED
UPON HOLDERS

The dangers Of damage to cotton
through improper storage have been
brought to the attention Of many
southern farmers through a circular
issued by w. w. Croxton. passenger
traffic manager of the Atlanta, Birm-
ingham and Atlantic railway. He
urges that especial care should be
taken of baled cotton kept in stor-
age, and publishes the results of a
recent investigation by the agents
of the United States department of
agriculture.

which had been stored properly and
stated that the average loss on a
bale of cotton exposed to the wealth
Err through careless storing amount
average bale properly stored amount
ed to less than that many cents,
This applied to both seeded and un-
seeded cotton.
The department of agriculture
says that the ideal wav to protect
seed or baled cotton is to store it in
dry. clean house or room, where it
would be protected from all forms
of damage. Where suitable cover is

open it should be placed on scant-
lings four to five inches thick so as
to keep it off the ground. In that
case the position Of the bales should
be reversed frequently. better daily,
by turning them over so that he
underside. will be exposed to the air
and sunshine. in order to prevent
the cotton becoming damaged by
moisture absorbed from the ground
or from rains. If it is allowed to
remain wet even for a short time
the lint will staint and deteriorate
and be involved to such an extent
as will cause the buyer to knock off
several pounds per bale. Further
more, the railroads. in order to pro-
tect themselves from claim for
country damage, are, forced to make
notation on bills of lading when cot
ton SO damaged is offered for ship
ment. Therefore, it behooves every
one growing or handling cotton to
take the proper care of it as long
as it is in his possession, in order to
get the best returns from his eff
forts.

NEW YORK.-It requires provo
cation to rouse Chinatown from it's
ennu1, superinduced by all excess Of
pilgrims from the sticks" who
nightly rumble down in lantern-lit
sightseeing cars to the labyrinth of
yearning for the bizarre and an ap-
petite for chop suey.
A young Chinaman with the white
wife answered to the name of Leong
Yung. He had the reputation of
shifting the sugar off of buns"
which is Chinatown patois for a
"snow bird" which in turn means
that he "sniffed." And all that indi-
rect, subtle and elusive symbolism
means in plain unvarnished English
that young Leong Yung had been a
cocaine fiend.
AS has been said, he got his ethics
smoke iron, and as there happened
to be lot Of tourists in the neigh
borhood of the pool room in Doyers
street when the shooting took place
there was intense excitement, and
word of it was flashed from the Nc
Alpin to the Plaza and thence out
across the country via Mr.. Burle-
sons justly famous system, and in
the heat Of debate somebody drop
ped the remark that another Tong
war had opened up.
And that in turn caused a lot Of
reporters to invade Chinatown, and
it caused the police to wrinkle their
brows, look bored and detail a lot
of plain clothes men to the neighbour
hood of the chop suey and curio
joints; and the cops said they didn't
believe it was going to be another
Tong war and they didn't know
whether they did believe it and the
reporters did not believe the cops,
but said they did when the cops said
nothing to it." And the Chinese
looked bored and tired and indiffer-
ent, but said nothing, only tucked
their long, crooked, yellow fingers
tighter into the sleeves of their
black blouses-because it was cold
in the narrow streets of Chinatown.
Cold and raw and a Scotch mist had
set in-and a Scotch mist vets a
Chinaman through.
To add to the general distrust and
nervous tension of the place a lone
Chinaman had meandered noiseless-
ly as a cat to the top floor of a tene-
ment at No. 40 Henry street and
held up fifty Cinnamon in fifty vary
ing stages of undreSS: and anv one
