NEW YORK, November 2S.-The
specter of tong warfare again hovers
over Chinatown today as result of
the failure of the Hip Sing and On
Leong tongs to sign the peace pact
scheduled for formal acceptance
Thanksgiving day.
Continuance of the campaign of
terror was foreseen by Eddie Gong.
secretary of the Hip Sings, following
the killing of member of his or
HaniZation within a few hours of the
expiration of the temporary truce
between the tongs.
Goag Chong Food, 5S, a laundry
man, an inactive member of the Hip
Sing tong, was shot to death by two
gunmen yesterday in the Bronx. The
alleged assassins, who said they were
Lee Har and Moy Yiek Tong, were
captured after a chase by men and
women who, according to police, saw
them leaving Foods establishment
with smoking revolvers in their
hands. The police say they gave the
headquarters of the On Leong tong, in
Mott street, as their home addresses.
Following their Interrogation
through two Columbia University
Chinese students, acting as in
terpreters, and their Identification by
SIX witnesses. the police announced
that they had established a clear
case of murder against them.
Added Precautions Taken.
The killing of Food, having been
preceded by the shooting to death of
two Chinese in Hartford, Conn, and
followed last night by reports of
the suspected murder of another
Chinese in Newbern, N. c., police
have taken special precautions
against another outbreak Of violence
in Chinatown. Fifty patrolmen and
more than 80 detectives are on duty
there today.
We don't want trouble" Eddie
feel, however, that we will have to
protect ourselves"
Food and his son were working in
their laundry when two men pushed
open the door and opened fire with
automatics.
The father dropped under a dozen
bullets. The son hid behind a counter
until the assassins backed through the
door and disappeared.
Thanksgiving day strollers became
posse and captured the two sus-
poets. Two automatic pistols were
found in an alleyway along the slay-
ers' line of flight.
All agencies of mediation-consular,
police and business - acknowledged
the failure of efforts to prolong the
truce under a pact of permanent
peace. The feudal belligerence Of
tong leaders killed all hope and made
further negotiations in the immediate
future promise barren results, the
mediators. say.

Ia TOILETTE AND THREE OTHERS
READ OUT OF REPUBLICAN PARTY

cate that you predicted the success
of that ticket in Iowa. The princi-
pies you adopted were in line with
the La Toilette platform. One of
the last things La Toilette did, before
leaving your State, was to measure
put to you what you doubtless
thought was repayment for your 10y
atty to his cause-his personal in
dorsement Of your candidacy for
United States Senator.
Calls Issues Clear.
II don't believe there can be any
mistake about the issues. They were
clearly made up. Your race for Sem
ator. in the makeup, rested with
the voters of all Iowa to decide be-
tween Coolidge and true Republican,
ism, or Brookhart and party treach-
ery-between Coolidge and his princf-
pies or Brookhart. with the Brook
hart-La Follette-Wheeler principles"
after analyzing the election figures
whereby Brookhart narrowly escaped
annihilation, Gardner continues his
lambasting, as follows.
A little consideration, Senator, of
these figures and the events leading
up TO them takes away all glamor
from your apparent success. 1t robs
your victory Of whatever glory you
may have anticipated. Why, Senator,
had you run for the ONCE you hold
on the La Toilette ticket, unfolding
there the same things and the same
principles you upheld while on the
Republican ticket, you would now be
preparing to go back to Washington,
Iowa (Brookharts home town., in
stead of Washington. D. c. There is
no doubt about this. The natural
question now uppermost in the minds
OF Iowa voters is, what your course
Is going to be in the face of these
conditions"
"BelOng to La Toilette Party.o
Then the Iowa Republican state
committeeman talks even more
plainly, thus:
at heart you belong to the La
Toilette party. The Republicans of
Iowa have clearly repudiated you.
Are you going to remain true to the
Wisconsin ideas and misrepresent
Iowa, or are you going to show that
contriteness of spirit. that humility
which should follow such a chastise-
ment, and throw your strength and
support to the cause of Republican
ism under the leadership of Cool
idge and Dawes, who swept Iowa
from under your feet?
Senator, there can be no evading
the matter The time for foaming
and charging and raging is past
Iowa has shown you what Iowa
thinks. When you get down to Wash
ington. you will be rated as a third
party man. True, you have a Repub-
lican coat, but underneath is the
man. The man has spoken. The
State knows what he stands for. AS
a third party man you should only
be entitled to representation on COM
mittees in ratio to the membership
Of that party in the Senate. This is
going to deprive Iowa of some pres
tige, just as you deprived Iowa of
prestige In defeating Senator Cum
minis for an important chairmanship.
Should Pick Crumbs.
"The consistent course, however,
should be run. With the third party
fellows you belong, and with them
you should pick crumbs until you
have come to your senses-unttl you
have grasped the significance Of the
fact that you have, already, too long
misrepresented Iowa"

a mutiny of troops was not an ex-
pected possibility. it was not left out

so in hand that spreading Of the dis
orders to Egypt is improbable.
The arrest and Imprisonment of the
leaders of the Egyptian extremists
removes the greatest dangers to the
situation in Cairo and Alexandria,
where any important outbreaks. it is
thought, would be likely to start.
The new Egyptian government has
co-operated with the British govern

incarceration of dangerous extremists.

The mutiny Of the Egyptian troops at

endanger the British position in the
Sudan, nor Is 1t likely to have any in

stated by an official this afternoon.
1t was pointed out that the battalion
at Khartum constituted the only force Of
Egyptian troops now left in the Sudan,
and that the British military
was strong enough to keep the situation
In hand. The battalion in question was
to have left Khartum today in the wake
OF the 1st Battalion, which moved out
of the Sudan yesterday.
The Sudanese troops and people, par
ticularly in the southern part Of the
territory, have appeared satisfied with
the conditions there, it was stated, and

While the Republican party was de-
batting the kind Of fate that ought to
be meted out to "irregulars," the
Iowa G. Q. p. put itself on record
with regard to Senator Brookhart. 1t
demanded that he "pick crumbs until
he comes to his Senses" There has
Just reached Washington the text of
a snorting open letter addressed to
Brookhart by Louis Gardner Of Ana
mosa, an influential member of the
Iowa State central committee. Mr..
Gardner accuses the Senator, who has
squeezed through by an official-count
majority Of 735, of outright "treach-
cry to the party whose label he
wears. The letter alleges that Brook
hart's campaign speeches were book
ed through La Toilette and Wheeler
Headquarters" and that when Senator
La Toilette visited Iowa Brookhart
met him, conferred with him and in
formed him that the Progressive
ticket would sweep Iowa."
Capital politicians In a long time
have not read a more sizzling COM

Senator Brookhart. Here are some or

Christian Scientists make no
stronger pretensions of belief in the
Bible than do other professed Chris
tians, but Christian Scientists go
further than belief; they trust and
strive to understand. And according
TO the measure of their understand
ing do they make practical applica-
tion of Bible truths and achieve
demonstration. Here is where the
great difference lies.
One might believe in mathematics
fervently, devotedly, indefinitely
without ever getting further than
belief. Mere belief would never solve
Il problem in figures. One must take
chalk, or pencil, or pen iH hand, and
work the problem out in accordance
with the rule of the science, If any
thing worth while is to be accom-
plished. Christian Scientists prove
the truths of the Bible by under
standing and demonstration as they
go along, and bring realization of
it's prophecies and promises into their
