 "We must feed them or fight them," Bergin said.
 Bergin called attention to the situation in Iowa, and said that unless Connecticut takes action a similar situation may develop here.

Market Knocked The Traders Who Tried
 To Depress Prices
This Afternoon an Attempt Was Made to Batter Down the Figures But in Last Half Hour Spurt Every. thing Shot Upward
BY ELMER c. wALzER

NOAutCu ECES " AAhAhhNh0t h,4AtOAp
 New York, May 12.-(UP)-The stock market overcame all attempts to depress prices to-day and in Q. last haif-hour spurt moved up in all sections.
 The major item to bring the turn in the trend was unanimous agree
 ment of major nations to a tariff truce to prevent retaliatory tariffs pending the outcome of the world economic conference.
 A horde of favorable items pre- ceded that declaration, but profit taking predominated until the late trading. Copper metal advanced to
 a new high for the year at cents pound; the president signed the
 farm bill; Dun & Bradstreet re- ported contra-seasonal gains in retail and wholesale trade; hog prices made new highs; steel prices advanced; one of the large steel companies was reported to be op- erating "in the black".
 oil stocks were whirled up while the general list was declining in the early afternoon. Practically every issue of the group made a new 1898 top and gains ranged to more than points. Traders antici- pated federal action to rectify the over-production. Some companies in Texas closed wells until oil pric- es advanced.
 Communications were strong features throughout the day. Amer ican Telephone was carried to a
 new high on the movement at 10SS up SIS points from the pre- vipus close and only point under Il. AII xs,4 <,f h1 gain. Short covering was mainly | responsible for the rise as traders | revised recent predictions the di- rectors would reduce the dividend | A majority now believes the pay
 ment will be made when directors
 meet next week. It was learned from well-informed sources that | the New York Telephone, major
 subsidiary of American, has ex.
 perienced its first upturn over the previous year in the number of

necessary.
 In New Haven Leon Orloff, sec retary of the Connecticut Unem- ployed councils, announced he had sent a telegram to the legislative judiciary committee demanding immediate action on the Connecti- cut Workers Unemployment Insur- ance bill." Orloff said that plans for the mobilization of unemployed for a march on the Capitol were being made.
 Orloff charged that wholesale evictions of the poor have followed in the wake of reduced rental pay ments by public charities. Hun dreds of young workers, he de- clared, have been put out of flop houses and missions, and are with out food.
 "All this calls for immediate ac- ton on the part of the state," he wired.
 In the governors office yester- day afternoon legislative leaders met with Governor Wilbur l.. Cross for a discussion of ways in which the state can aid financially hard-pressed cities and towns. Howard Alcorn and Raymond E. Baldwin, republican leaders of the senate and house respectively, who have announced they are working on 8 bill for state aid to the cities, were at the conference.

Ne4o Sugar Cane

THE great enemy of the sugar cane raiser,
freezing weather, may be vanquished as q
result of experimental work carried on by the
Bureau Of Plant Industry and the Bureau Of
Chemistry and Soils.
This problem is some times acute in Louisiana
where sudden frosts have often forced raisers
to cut their cane and allow it to lie in wind
rows for several days before it could be
gathered.
This practice often resulted in great loss, for
the cane lost its sweetness rapidly when left
in windrows However, a new type Of cane has
been introduced by the Federal officials which
retains its sweetness for fairly long periods
when left lying on the ground and this new
variety, which Is immune to the mosaic disease,
offers the solution to the problem.

Hop Malady Cured

THE return of beer in the United States finds
the Department of Agriculture already
the way toward victory over a plant disease
which might have had serious adverse effect
on the price of the beverage. Downy mildew,
devastating disease, has invaded the hop
fields Of Oregon, the principal growing State,
with serious effect, but experts studying the
disease and remedies for it believe now that
they are well on their way toward overcom-
ing it.
As usual, the campaign against the plant
disease has followed along two lines, one cura-
tive and the other preventive, by discovering
new types of plants immune to the disease. In
both considerable progress has been made and
the results are sufficiently encouraging to lead
officials to believe that the advance Of the
downy mildew has been definitely checked.

Manion 1T was q myth fostered by writer's
and guides"
In this transplanting Of people to q new
land there were many adjustments to be made.
Out of these came the tong, which is purely an
invention Of the American Chinese 100 per
cent American" product, so to speak.
In the beginning the tong was strictly char
table organization, concocted by the large
family groups to care for their less fortunate
members But Is these tongs increased In num-
Der, differences arose between them which often
led to bloodshed.
A LONG with those innocuoNs organizations

group the hishbinder tong-vhich the
forer1mner Of our modern racketeers. Like the
gangs of today, they were made up Of gunner.
and levied tribute ON legitimate business. They
were at the beck and call Of the underworld.
In the comparatively free and easy existence
of the nineties, We see Chinatown Ut its most
colorful and, perhaps. most corrupt period. The
criminal element was In the ascendancy.
Gamblers, slave girl owners, smugglers, narcotic
dealers and highbinder chiefs ruled the roost.

cutting his former paramour. But the wound
was not serious.
Dong Lai was promptly escorted from the
place, swearing vengeance. few days later
she put up sum o. money for his killing, which
was consummated during Chinese New Year
celebration.
20 FOON was celebrating in gambling
- house on Grant avenue, when the killers
entered and shot him down.
This murde. was the signal for tong war
which spread over the entire Nation. More than
q score died In order that the wrath Of a woman
scorned might be appeased.
In the heyday OF Chinatown slave trafhc, .
familiar figure to habitues of the district was
that Of Donaldina Cameron. affectionally named
by the countless Chinese slave girls whom she
saved from a life Of bondage, as 10 Mo-
mother.
Tall, slender and comely, Miss Cameron was
the head Of . home for Chinese girls, founded
in 1873 by the church women Of America LO-
Gated at 920 Sacramento street, ON the edge Of
Chinatown, this place became the refuge for
slave girls who longed for a chance IN Me.
Time and again, Miss Cameron led expeditions
into the innermost depths of Chinatown, in
search Of girls who had got word to her Of their
plight. Into secret rooms of tong quarters into
gambling dens and the most notorious dives
she forced her way, and seldom did she return
empty handed.
The Chinatown of those days is gone Today
the quarter is peaceable and orderly-in barge

Chinatown surpassed the notorious Barbary
Coast.
Gambling houses existed in profusion Opium
dens hosNished Adding color to the under
world, were such characte-s as Little Pete, Big
Jim and Ho Sing leaders in the slave girl traffic.
But leadership in this field was not confined
to men alone. Women, too, had their place.
King Far, Wong York Sim and Mrs. Chin Bow
were among the elite in this regard.
This traffic in girls was among the most re-
munerative Of the many rackets practiced.
Emissaries were sent to China. where girls from
9 to II years Of age were purchased from their
parents or relatives on tn, prom Sc that they
would be given honorable employment in
America. Once in San Francisco they were sold
into slavery
In the conflict OF the criminal interests tong
wars were not an infrequent occurrence. Usually
these were caused by squabbles over gambling
houses. But now and then the affections OF q
beautiful slave girl were the motive
Such Was the war between the Jung Wings,
and Suey Tong and Suey Wings. Before the
fighting was over six tongs were embroiled.
It all happened when Dong Lai was deserted
by her sweetheart, Go Foon, gunman and high
binder.
