Mrs. Allen formerly resided in New Zealand but came here on Ifolcomb's Invitation, which he says she secured thronph her solicitation. Alter she arrived, he says, he made a will leaving her all his property. Later, after what he designates as con stant importuning1, he executed a deed In her favor. It is this which he is en deavoring1 to have declared null, alleg ing the understanding on which ft was given had been grossly violated.

He has forwarded to the Senate and House committees on postofnees and post roada a recommendation that an ap propriation of $100.0rt0 he made to put the villnge delivery service into opera tion, providing that not more than $1600 a year be allowed for the work at any single office.

" The tongs represented were the Hop Sing?, Hip Sings, " Suey Sings and Sin Suey Yings. The meeting was brought about through tlie efforts of Consul Li Yung Yew. and the building of the Six Companies, where the meeting was held, was surrounded by a cordon of police. "When the delegates finally agreed to preserve peace until a permanent peace pact could be formulated, messengers we're sent to the various tong head quarters for the official seals, and those present signed a document agreeing to preserve peace until the Consul drew up a permanent pact. It is the belief of the police familiar with the affairs in Chinatown that the tongs involved in the previous strife will come to satisfactory terms in their per manent peace pact and that hostilities are at an end.
