Times Staff Photo

Lee New Young alias Lee Yeng,
alias Chin Moy Din, alleged
Chinese "hatchetman," who was
arrested yesterday on charge Of
attacking two other Chinese with
cleaver, inflicting serious
wounds, was arraigned today be-
fore Judge Isaac R. Hit in Police
Court and held without bail for
the Grand Jury.
Meanwhile, in Casualty Hos
pital Lee Ben Din and Tom Bow
Sing. both of 2127 Rhode Island
Ave. N. E., horribly mutilated,
are at the point of death.
Tells Slavery Tale
The prisoner tells of having
been sold into slavery with his
wife in China by the laundry
owner.
The injured Chinese tell a diff
ferent story. They claim the ar
rested man is their brother. He
denies this.
Believed Tong Affair
Police are of the opinion that
the case is a tong affair. This
theory is heightened by the fact
the prisoner and one of the in
jured men belong to different
tongS.
Twice previously Lee has been
in the hands of police in con-
nection with a homicide inveS-
tigation. Once was in 1929 in con-
nection with the murder of a mar
cotic informer. The other was
in connection with the deaths of
several Chinese in tong war in
1924.

$1,000 Payroll Seized Here

Walter o. Jones, who, accord.
Ing to police, admitted partici.
pating in the payroll robbery of
the Children's Hospital, July 81,
with three other men, was re.
turned here today in custody. of
United States Marshals from San
Diego, Calf. ,
The accused man, who was
picked up on suspicion in Cali,

nized by detectives there as the
man answering q description
broadcast BY local police. He
admitted his identity and waived
extraditiOn.
& Got Only $500
Detective Sergt. L. M. Van
Hughes said that Jones today ad-
mitted having been with the
other three but told him that he
received only $700 of his share
of the $1,000 loot, as he acted
only as lookout for his compan-
ions.
The robbery was staged in broad
daylight, in the presence Of sew
eral nearby persons. Mrs. Flea
more Page, assistant treasurer OF
the hospital, was leaving her car
at Thirteenth and v Streets North
west when three men walked up
to her. One knocked her to the
sidewalk as the other two seized
the payroll.
The three hurried to a machine
in which the fourth man was
waiting and made their escape.
Identity of the other three is
still a mystery. Jones has refused
to do other than admit his own
alleged part in the hOld-up and
robbery.
A few days after the robbery,
Jones told police, he took his wife
and two children, one years and
the other 9 months old, and made
for the West Coast in search Of

quarters, Jones was questioned
and sent to District Jail.

THE national forests are not only national in
ownership, but are becoming more and more
national in employment. It Is estimated that
there were nearly 32.0O0.O00 visitors to the
various Federal reservations in the past year,
many Of whom were really intent upon getting
back to nature. Nearly 1000. 900 Of the visitors
were campers, while hundreds of thousands
were mixers walking their way through the for.
ests and over the mountains.
The conveniently placed and well equipped
camp sites developed by the Forests Service
together with the well laid out trails have
proven lures which have brought many va.

largely responsible for the tremendous number
of visitors. carrying nearly 100000 to the

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL THEATRE

You will find unusual entertainment
at the Capitol Theatre today and
Wednesday in Mothers Millions
which opened last night. The story
Is absorbing and the character de-
lineations convincing in portraying a
tale Of young love about to be
crushed by the iron hand Of untold
millions.
May Robson, who achieved remark
able success In the original stage pro-
duction, plays the role Of Harriet
Breen, q female financial genius who
apparently handles her children with
the same ruthlessness that she uses
in fighting her rival giants Of Wall
Street. The climax Of the story, how
ever, is startling In its revelation Of a
really beautiful character Under the
mask of q shrewd relentless business
woman. Miss Robinson takes stellar
honors in this one. giving to her por-
trayal a remarkably dynamic perfor-
nance. Her support including James
Hall, as the secretary Of Harrie Breen,
handles his role with great finesse.
Frances Dade is charming and puts
Just the right amount of drama into
her role as the young daughter Of the
female financial giant, and the sweet
heart Of her mothers secretary. Law
renee Gray as the young son will win
your sympathy and Edmund Breese
as the rival financial genius does q
fine and stimulating piece Of acting.
