LOCAL BOYS ARE
MUCH 'PEPPERED'
in MELON RAID
Rancher Uses BirdshOt
On Pair; Third
Boy Escapes

+. Vaughn and H. Wyatt, young
sters living at 54S Commercial
street this city, received painful
/ though not serious ''peppering' =
with birdshot last night, while at
tempting a raid on n watermelon
patch belonging to i. NJ. Ballou,
three miles south and east of this
city last night.
According to the report of the in
cident made to Inc sheriff s office,
the youths, with n third boy, whose
name had not been ascertained,
were found by BalloE in his water
melon patch. The later opened fire
on them with an automatic shot
gun, loaded with birdshot The
rancher fired from n distance suf-
I ficient to save the raiders from
serious injury, and at the same time
close enough to impress upon them
| the seriousness of entering other
people IS property for the purpose of
taking things that did not belong to
them.
The youngster each received sew
eral pieces of birdshot in their
heads, inflitting slight wounds
which were dressed by DR.. Kiskad-
den, to whom the youngsters made
their way following the shooting.
Sheriff Gillett, Deputy Sheriff Os
walt and Officer Applegate of the
FL Centre police department, made
an investigation of the shooting. 1t
was rumored that the third boy had
been seriously wounded during the
! shooting, but search of the country
in the vicinity failed to reveal any
7 trace of him, and the officers be-
lieve he made a quick escape prompt
ed by the spray of lead.
BallOu decided not TO make any
charges against the raiders, and af-
ter hearing his story the sheriff de-
cided that the rancher was acting
within his rights in protecting his
property.

Adie, Harvard
End, Stricken with
Attack Appendicitis

Cambridge, Mass, NOV. IL
(AP)-Jack Adie, who played center
on last years Harvard football team
but was shifted to end earlier this
season, has been stricken with ap-
pendicitis and will be lost to the
team for the rest of the season.
Coaches were relying upon Adie
to get the fight back into the Har-
ward team in preparation for the
games with Brown Saturday and
Yale the following Saturday. While
working out at center yesterday Adie
was stricken suddenly. Today 1t was
decided that an operation would be
necessary.
With Adie out of the game, Coach
Bob Fishers apparent intention OF
returning him to Center in a re-
vamped line was knocked into the
discard and the varsity forwards
were given another shakeup at prac-
tice today. Macomber, who has been
playing center since Adie was made
into an end was sent down to the
er, regular left guard, was moved
over to the pivot position. Trip, a
first string substitute guard who
started the Princeton game, was
shifted into Turner's berth.
Otherwise the varsity lineup, the
same as yesterday, with Jake Stat
ford calling the signals and Glenn
Coady, erstwhile halfback, returned
to the position he likes best at right
tackle. Wallie Trumbull, all-Ameri-
can tackle on the 1914 team, was
coaching the linemen today.

Next came the decorated cars and
floats the Daughters Of the American
revolution and after them came the
automobiles of the Waterville Histor-
ical Society. the Red Cross, the Wat

merce and the Modern woodmen.
The third section was led by the
Waterville Senior High School band
which played exceedingly well and
added much to the parade. The stud
ent bodies Of both the Senior and
Junior high schools were well repre-
scented.
Last but by far not least in the
parade were the fire departments of
Waterville and Winslow, the trucks
.gally decorated with the national COL
ors. Not only were the modern mo-
tor trucks In the display but the old
horse drawn pieces Of apparatus were
brought out for the occasion, For

The whole population of the city
devoted few moments of the day at
least to watching the parade and
over the entire route the sidewalks
were deeply lined with spectators. A
few minutes before. II o'clock a blast
on the fire whistle gave the signal for
the parade to come to halt and af-
ter bugle calls had been sounded and
minute had been devoted to silence
in respect of those who gave their
lives for America during the conflict.
Then the church bells rang and the
whistles blew and there were several
moments of jubilation similar to that
which took place seven years ago
when the war came to an end.
The parade started from Post Office
Square and went down Main street
along the length of which flags fiut-

San Francisco
Quiet During
The Tong Wars

San Francisco, Nov. 11-(AP)-
While several large cities were
scenes Of sanguinary tong wars, re-
sulting in scores of Chinese being
deported, San Francisco's Chinatown,
the largest in the country. remained
at peace, despite the fact that one of
the warning tongs, the Hip Sing, has
headquarters here.
Detective Sergeant John ]. Manion,
head of the Chinatown police squad,
explained why.
Keep out gambling houses. Pre-
vent traffic in slave girls and in mar
cotics and you'll have no tong wars.
With the cooperation of the peaceful
elements-the merchant class and the
Christians-we have largely elimi-
mated those causes of trouble. Watch
for highbinders, or gunner, and try
to keep them out of Chinatown"
The other tong concerned in the
recent war, the On Leong. has no
organization in San Francisco at
present, but, according to Sergeant
Manion, 1t arranged through another
tong to have some Sip Sing members
slain here. Money was paid for the
transaction, but the police learned of
it in time to prevent it.
Sergeant Manion estimates that
IS per cent Of the Chinese in Amer
lea do not belong to highlander
tongs and have no sympathy with
them.
Yet the tongs still have a strong
hold here. Eight of them have ma
tional headquarters, and several
others have branches. The tong or
society, usually Is a family clan in
China. The highlander tong I'M
known In China, started in the early
days Of Chinese emigration to Amer
lea. As the Chinese immigrants
went into business, the representa-
tives Of smaller families were OPP
pressed by more powerful families
and organized for protection. Out Of
these tongs, formed without regard
to family or other aff1liation, grew
the highbinder menace. Whenever
there were disputes. lives would be
forfeited.
The typical highlander Sergeant
Manion described as an all-around
criminal, cowardly. sneaking about
shooting without risk to himself. The
police have found that such gunner
usually are entirely Chinese in their
associations and habits The young
Chinese educated In America or ex-
posed to American influence Is ex-
tremely unlikely to become tong
man.
Where highbinders are active.
there Is Captain of gunner" the
go-between. taking orders and money
from the tong leaders, who have no
direct connection with the assassins.
Where there is a lob" to be done. a
gunman volunteers his services and
tracks down his man. The price
varies with the victims Importance.
Chinatown here Is the safest part
OF town for person to wander
through at night. said Sergeant
Manion. There are no holdups.

Hits New Signal and
Speeds Away, Now
Faces Court Charge

D'Thurlow Smith, p, of Getchell
street, was placed under arrest very
early yesterday morning after he
had run into the electric signal light
in postoffice square with his Hud-
son sedan and had driven away
without stopping. The street signal
which had been installed only a few
hours previous to the accident was
demolished.
Smith, after the accident, went up
Main street at a high rate of speed
and he was stopped near Brook
street by Arthur l.. Thayer. The
police were notified of the accident
and Deputy Marshal Alfred Polrier
and Officer George P. Beckett took
Smith to the police station where
he remained until later in the day.
Yesterday morning Judge Charles
w. Atch1ey allowed the boy to go
on his personal recognizance and he
will be arraigned in municipal court
this morning son a charge of reck-
less driving.
The Hudson received a broken
bumper and springs and a bent right
mud guard and running board as a
result of the collision.
The concrete base in which the
signal had been set up was still soft
and 1t offered no resistance to the
oncoming car. Steps will be taken
immediately to replace the sigaI but
1t is probable that there will be a
rather long delay in getting the nec-
essary equipment.
