Chinese Disarmed in
Minneapolis to Stop
Threatened Tong War

Minneapolis, Oct. 23.-(AP)-In
an effort to stop the tong warfare
which claimed the life of one man,
Capt. of Detectives William Meehan
gave his detectives orders today to
search and disarm all suspicious
Chinese in Minneapolis.
Drastic orders were decided upon
as a sequel to the killing Of Hugh
U. Kay, 30 years old, cook, who
was shot to death by an unidentified
assailant Monday night. Police have
one man in custody, but obtained
little information about the killing
because Of the unwillingness Of
other Chinese to talk.
One Of the puzzling features of
the staying is the fact that the VIC
tim, the suspect and others dues-
toned all belong to the same Tong,
50 far as police could learn.
