Chinese 7ONGS
BATTLING AGAIN
1trrol Spreads Through Several

New York. Oct. l6 tUP)-The
Hip Sings and the On Leongs are al
was again. and today after three
years OF peace. the terror of death
spread once more through the
Chinatowns of half dozen Ameri-
can cities.
Within Aheir secret chambers,
gathered around burning lights,
the generals of the countrys two
most powerful tonSs are marshal
ling their hatchetmeN and gunner
for an outbreak which threatens,
before many days, to extend from
coast to coast. -
Five Chinese already lie dead in
morgues at Chicago, Philadelphia
killed there was little to show that
the two societies. which for years
have been mortal enemieS were pre-
pairing TO rsume their a9e-old war
fare. Seldom can detectives and po-
lice foresee their mysterious plans.
Streets Patrulled
Specially picked squa DIS of detec-
tives strolled the narrow. crooked
streets of New York's Chinatown to-
day Inspector McAuliffe had doub-
led the police guard.
At the corner of Mott and Pell
streets, before large bulletin board.
the officers found a crowd of agitat-
ed Chinese chattering like magpies
Occasionally a slant eyed Oriental
would emerge from a nearby build
ing and paste large sheet of paper,
inscribed with Chinese characters,
on the board. Each time c,hattering
would rise excitedly. Efforts to learn
the meaning of the information
were futile.
This was the bulletin board which
gave Chinatown the latest reports
from the war front"
Behind a penny arcade three
doors north of Pell street is a shoot
ing gallery. It's business in the last
six weeks has trebled. Almost any
hour of the day large group of
Chinese can be found in front of it,
'practicing their craftsmanship with
revolvers and rifles. spending their
money freely.
The last tong war between the
Hip Sings and the On Leongs lasted
from the early autumn of 1924 to
October. 1925. In the first three
months more than so Chinese we're
murdered by rival tongsmen The
Chinese merchants association, the
Chinese benevolent associa ton and
even the Chinese legation at Wash
ington made repeated efforts to ef-
feet a truce. but to no avail.
Officials Step In
Toward the last however, govern
ment officials stepped in. They
rounded up 2o6 Chinese within a
single week and deported 100 of
them Hostilities soon died and Chi
natown became quoted. The average
Chinese is said to fear deportation
as much as death,
Go down into Chinatown and seek
the real facts at the bottom Of any
tong war. and you'll learn little
more than the Orientals have allow
ed you to know in past years. If he
chooses to speak at all on the sub
ject. the Chinese generally will tell
you that tong war is fought over
the principle Of honor. An eminent
Hip Sing insults an On Leong dig
nitary, or vice versa. and the In
jured tongsmen fly at their rivals
with hatchets. long knives and re-
volvers until they feel their honor
has been avenged.
Usually. however-indeed. almost
always-there are the same motives
behind the tong war as behind the
average American gang feud. The
desire for control over gambling.
