CLASH OVER HABITS
LEADS TO SHOOTING
Young Chinese Confesses,
Police Claim, to Wounding
Older Countryman.

The ways of Occident and Orient
clashed last night, and today a young
Chinese is held at the fourth precinct
awaiting the outcome of the possible
fatal injuries to an elderly laundry
owner of his race, whom, police say, he
confessed he shot last night and then
beat on the head with an iron in a
rage aroused by the old mans rebukes
concerning his conduct.
The wounded man is Guam Sing Lee
Of zoos Four -and-aHalf street south
west, who is lying in Emergency Hos
pital on the verge of death. George
Lee, American educated young Chinese.
manager of the Wah Chong Co. at
3l5 Pennsylvania avenue, is the accused.
The shooting took place about 7:15
o'clock It the laundry The younger
Lee was arrested on the scene by a
detail of police from the fourth precinct,
summoned by neighbors who heard the
shot.
Throws Gun Into Stove.
When Policemen j. L. Oppert, H. H
Hefiin and H. B. Leary rushed into the
laundry they reported George Lee
crouched in a corner. AS they entered
he threw a gun into a stove. The
weapon was rescued by one of the off,
GERS before it was damaged by the heat.
At the precinct Lee is said by police
to have made a complete confession
which quotes him as saying that when
he stopped by the laundry last night the
older man rebuked him, telling me ]
was not any good and was not living
as my father wished and that gambled
and went with American women"
Confesses to Shooting.
"This made me mad and we begun
to argue. He gave me a push and told
me to go home. Pushing me made me
still madder, and I pulled a pistol I
had in my pocket and shot him. MY
intentions then were to go out and call
a doctor, but when he threw something
at me lost all control and grabbed q
collar iron and began to beat him on
the head. After seeing what had
done, went to the cash register and
took all the money I saw. My inten-
ton was to leave and make it appear
to police that Sing had been robbed
Meanwhile the police came.
The prisoner has been in this coun-
try about seven years, and for three
years went to school In Kansas. His
father, Lee Sen, who lives with him at
315 Pennsylvania avenue, is said to be q
close friend of Sing Lee. The bullet
entered the chest of the old Chinese.
He also Is suffering from severe lacera-
tions to his scalp and possibly frac-
tured skull.
