 to Authorities.

Chamberlain, 91 years old, whose mysterious disappearance from home of her daughter and granddaughter in an artists colony has been under investigation by the police, was found early today buried in the back yard of the apartment on 57th street where the family lived:
 Two days of questioning by police brought from Mrs. Ruth Townsend, the aged woman's daughter and Miss Marion Townsend. her granddaugh- ter. only cryptic answers. such as Mother is happy in love-
 Early today Miss Townsend con- fessed that the aged woman died of natural causea last June and had been buried by the two women in a flower bed in their back yard in which the aged woman had carefully tend ed geranium plants.
 Every part of their former hone was searched yesterday by the police and even some parts of the rear yard were dug up, but nothing was found those of dog. *'. -.. Dire poverty caused the two wom- en to bury the body secretly Miss Townsend confessed to Police Matron Mary Dolan. One by one the prized possessions of the family were sold until only the grand piano on which Marion developed an unusual musical ability remained. ,,
 "We had neither a coffin nor burial permit" said Miss Townsend. We covered up the body and placed the geraniums over the improvised grave. To us she is not dead, just buried. Mother and swore never to say any thing about it because we were happy in love-"

CALIFORNIA CHINESE
 IN BLOODY TONG WAR
Several Killed and Wounded As Oriental Gunmen Cele-
 brate New Years.

San Francisco, Feb. 16.-Guns of Chinese tong men ushered in a new war of tongs coincident with the Chinese New Year today leaving three dead and five wounded in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Stockton. Two Chinese merchants were killed in Los Angeles. Another was wounded there. In San Francisco one man was killed and three injured. At Stock ton one man was shot three times in the head, but it was said he will live.
 In San Francisco the feud broke loose in 8 room at 924 Grant ave- nue. According to stories told po- lice six men in the room taking ad- vantage of the crackle of firecrack- CTS and roar of the celebration, drew revolvers and began firing at each other. Go Foin staggered from the building with smoking revolver in his hand and fell dead. Four bullet lice hurried to the scene and found three wounded men on the floor of the room.
 Police departments of the three cities sent many additional armed men into Chinese districts to guard against new attacks.
 The shootings occurred within the space of a very few minutes, so close that theory was advanced by the police that all had been pre-ar- ranged.
 War among the tongs has threat ened for months, but recently it was believed averted by a truce entered into by the tongs through police activity.
 Several arrests have beoea made but the police are handicapped be- cause the Chinese fear to give i'm formation lest they too will be marked by the gunmen. +
