OF there was play running there called
Inc Garden Of Ten Thousand Joys 1t was
IN llo acts, with prologue that lasted four
nights. The play itself lasted ten nights.
Shooting and hatchetings between the On
Leong Tong and Four Brothers organizations
became so frequent that all Chinese were
afraid to visit the theater and the show went
out of business. There were six actors from
Peking in the cast. One night bomb was
tossed into the theater lobby during per-
tormance and in the confusion that followed
with Cinnamon streaming out Of windows and
over roofs, three tongmen We're killed and FIVE
wounded ,.1f,Attss,
Chinatown used to be q deadly place for
women OF certain class. They gravitated
toward the hop joints and became denizens
OF the district. Among these unfortunates
women of refinement were to be met with
occasionally. Scores Of white women lived in
flats scattered through the quarter, and ac-
cordng to Chinese standards, they were we'll
cared tor Silks, satins and jewels were
showered on them. Police raids cleaned the
women out periodically, but there were always
new arrivals. Before long the flats would
again be occupied. When we found these
women in raids they were all dressed up like
mandarins wives and saturated with opium.

White Crooks and Gangsters
Broke Up Chinatown

"For long time Chinatown was permitted
to run itself, you might have said. The rule
was for police to stay out OF there. Then
gangsters got busy in the district and it had
to be cleaned up. It tough job, white
crooks giving most of the trouble,
''Now there are two distinct cults in China

There Was Nothing Personal
In the Killing of Ying

Chinese simply puts It all over any Sicilian.

unnecessary gestures. There was Ho Han

in years march, who played fantan all day

Was No. fantan player, but Yipg killed
his brother Hop in San Francisco and he had
come from Canton especially to get Ying. They
made Moy trusty at Sing Sing and he died
there Of tuberculosis.
"High caste Chinese and university students
always were trying to make their lowborn
countrymen quit burning paper prayers before
Kwa$ Tai, the god Of war, and bowling their
silly heads to Choy San, the god Of wealth.
They used to lecture on the folly of sacrificing
perfectly good chickens at the feet Of Tai PAX
Kung Sing (great white and golden star>, a
sort Of happiness god. They rallied against
heather devotional practices generally and
wanted the old gods burned. These superior
Chinks--better class merchants and scholars
, insisted that joss-house worship as practiced
in Chinatown was a mere spectacle for the
entertainment Of visitors who paid money to
witness such ceremonies. For time the joss
house on the top floor Of 16 Mott Street was
closed and the Chinks were supposed to have
stopped worshiping cross-eyed wooden idols,
but the gods are still there and Chinese elders
still bend rheumatic knees to them, That's
the way they were raised.
'The educated Chinese did not try to
substitute Christianity for joss house rites.-
They preached Confucianism and wished to
make that philosophy substitute for all else,
religiously speaking. 1t was too much to
expect these Cantonese would fall for the
dignihed stufF. They wanted a god they could
see, and the uglier he was the better they
liked him.
