Bullet Revives
Tong War Mystery
OF 20 Years Ago
Wounded New York
Chinese Believed "Mock
Duck" Missing Leader.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March IA China
town mystery OF 20 years standing was
revived yesterday.
It dealt with an attempt to assassi-
nate Mock Sci Wing, national president
of the Hip Sing Tong, last night, in a
murky, misty street in the heart Of the
Newark, N. j., Chinatown. A bullet
passed through the heshy part OF Mock's
neck.
known as Mock Duck" to Tong men,
poiice believe Mock Sci wing IS none
other than the almost legendary Tong
leader Of a generation ago, Mock Duck,
who disappeared from New York in
1912.
The original Mock Duck, who COM
bined Oriental wiles with Occidental di-
rectness, came to New York in the
ea<ly nineties from San Francisco, a
fat, round-faced young man with a
genius for organization. At that time
the On Leong Tong ruled New York.
Chinatown. Waved away by the ruling
Tong, Mock Duck went to an American
minister and informed him OF the
"wickedness" of the On Leongs. The
On LeongS were driven out and the Hip
sings moved in. A Tong war f1ared up
and about 20 lives were lost before a
truce was effected in 1906.
Mock Duck reigned supreme for a
time. The courts took away his adopted
daughter, his house was set af1re three
times, his gambling establishments were
raided and he was arrested for numer-
GUS Chinese killings.
In 1912 he disappeared, at least as
far as the Tongs were concerned. He
became a business man, first in one
city, then in another. At one time he
was said to have died. The wounded
Chinese speak English.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The Police
Gazette, as much part Of yesterdays
barber shop as the squirt bottle, has
failed to respond to the massage Of its
creditors. 1t lies today in court of
bankruptcy, as dead as clipped hair on
the linoleumed floor.
When pictures of ladies in tights
were considered daring and photo
graphs of mustachioed pugilists with
massive arms folded proudly across
enormous chests aroused great reader
enthusiasm the Police Gazette had its
heyday. Now that tights are antique
and mustaches little more than hairy
breves accenting masculine lips, the
pink -papered periodical has found itself
without a sufficient following.
Last year, its creditors claim, the
Police Gazette took in only 100000,
with expenses $4,000 greater. Con-
ferences of creditors failed of satisfac-
tory conclusions. Yesterday the Irving
| Trust Co. was appointed receiver IN
bankruptcy.
The magazine, when taking the trade
at top stride, was considered somewhat
daring, with its pictures OF statuesque
stage sirens given to substantial con-
tours: vet from its beginning it was the
insistence of the Richard K. Fox Pub
fishing Co. dts publishers that the
Police Gazette be kept clean in text
and picture.
In this endeavor the publishers were
successful Scandal and malicious gos-
sip were alien to its pale pink pages.
Innuendo was not tolerated. The only
excuse for a prevalent belief that the
magazine was overemphatic in its
appeal were the pictured beauties OF

The meeting called by the Marine
Workers Industrial Union on the

big crowd, which enthusiastically en-
dorsed the demands put forward by

by at least one quarter. 5. Eight
hours day. 6. Full union wages
for all car gangs. Regular shape
up three times day. 8. No discri-
mination, no favorite gangs in put
ting out work.
These demands were to be pre-
sented at the regular meeting which
rank and file pressure finally forced
the LILA. international official, Polly
Baker. to sanction here, last night.
And another of the demands to be
presented at that meeting was 'im-
mediate removal and expulsion of
Polly Baker and election of new Of
ficials by the rank and file"
Leaflets circulated by the rank and
file committee point out that the
longshoremen have contributed many
dollars to the lila, without being
told where the money goes.

Both Black and White must stick
together to run the lila ourselves
and stop wage cutting and worse
conditions"

Workers Of U. S. Will
Demonstrate Against
Murders by Mussolini

The National Office Of the Inter
national Labor Defense yesterday
dispatched a message of bitter pro-
test to Mussolini. against the afro
cious treatment of 200 Italian Com
munists. who, for ten days, have been
on hunger strike in the Civitavec-
CHA Jail.
News Of the strike. and til efact
that three of the prisoners had al
ready died of hunger and torture was
made known on Friday by radio
gram from the Italian Section of the
International Red Aid The three
who have died at the hands Of Mus
solini's iailers are Terracini. LiCansi
and Pianezza. The lives of numer-
Gus others are also in grave danger,
according to the message.
In its protest message, the Inter
national Labor Defense, American
Section of the International Red Aid,
said, in part:
"The American workers demand
the immediate freedom Of the 200
Communist hunger strikers in Civit-
avecchia. Demonstrations before the
Italian embassy and every italian
consulate in America will hammer
home the fact that the workers of
America will not tolerate the sacri-
flee of their Italian comrades to the
unbridled ferocity of italian imper-
ialism and it's fascist agents" The
message was signed by Carl Hacker,
acting secretary of the lid.
Meanwhile, preparations for protest
meetings and demonstrations men,
toned in the message are under way
