RICH CHINESE WOUNDED.
Blackmail Ring Sought in Shooting
of Cleveland Merchant.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 90
BlackmaiIers who have as their OBJ
iective extortion of money from local
Chinese merchants are held re-
sponsible by police for the shooting
today of Yee Hee Kee, fifty-eight,
former national secretary-treasurer
of the On Leong Tong Chinese Mer-
chants Association and a member of
a local importing firm. He is near
death in a hospital from five bullet
wounds. His two assailants escaped.
Internal dissension within the tong,
which came to a crisis a month ago
in Pittsburgh, when Kee was de-
posed as secretary-treasurer, may lie
behind the blackmailing, according
to police.
Police are searching for two
Chinese named by Kee as having
threatened him recently.
