CHINESE GUNS DO HAVOC.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
WEST WOULD CUT COST.
Americanized" Oriental Freed After
10-Year Sentence Start Dual
New York La Way, an l"Ameri
can i led" Chinese of the Hip Sing
tong, who returned from Sing Sing to
Chinatown only a day or two ago after
serving a 10-year sentence for a
Chinatown killing, stepped out of the
doorway of 13 Pell street and opened
fire upon an On Leong tong Chinaman
who bad just come out of 23 Pell
street to the west.
Within the next few moments one
Chinaman not connected with any
tong was shot dead as he looked into
the street from the high balcony of
the Chinese Delmonico restaurant at
24 Pell street, across the street from
the gunman; a Chinese laundryman
lay dead between the two gunfighters
that started the row : an unidentified
Italian, supposed to be a barber, stag
gered out of Pell street and dropped
dead in the Bowery, shot through the
heart; a Russian Jew locksmith stum
bled westward through Pell street and
dropped dead at Pell and Mott streets
with a bullet in his head; a Jersey
City freight conductor lay critically
injured in Pell street with a bullet in
his left side; a stableman lay in the
office of a livery stable in Mott street
n a line with Pell street, shot in the
foot, and still another locksmith lay at
Pell street and the Bowery uncon
scious and bleeding from a scalp
wound where a bullet had torn his
head. The initial duel had touched off
a tong war that sent bullets singing
east and west in Pell street as China
men popped in and out of their war
rens to bang at an enemy. The shots
from policemen's revolvers added to
the uproar of shot.
Change to Be Urged In Transport
lion of Convicts.
Salem The system of transporta
tion of convict from the place of con
victim to the state penitentiary will
be materially changed at what prom
ise to be a great saving, according to
plans which Governor West is making
for a recommendation, to be Incorpor
ated in hia message to the next legis
lature, and founded on the results
which have been secured in the
change made in transportation of pa
tients to the state insane asylum.
Under the old law patient were
transported to the asylum under the
care of sheriff or hi deputy. No
an attendant is sent from the aeylum
to bring in the patient.
Under the old law covering trans
portation for asylum patients to that
institution from the place of commit
ment, the record show that for the
22 months between January, 1903, and
October, 1904. the average cost for
transportation of the insane under the
old law was $64.51 per patient.
Under the new law the average cost
is shown to be $36 17, or almost half
the cost that was charged under the
old law. With the transportation of
several hundred patient annually it
amount into a handsome saving.
During 1911 it cost the sUte a tot
of $10,844 to transport patients from
the place of conviction to the prison,
Of this amount $672 was for expenses
incidental to transportation of pa
tienta and officer. The per diem of
sheriffs and guards amounted to ap
proximately $2200. On the ratio of
the saving on transportation of insane.
a saving of practically 60 per cent, or
about $5000 annually, would be made
in transporting prisoners.
STRAWBERRY CROP GOOD.
Tollman Farmer Produce Second
Growth of Fine Fruit.
Albany A unique plan to produce
two crop of strawberries on hi vines
each year has been developed by M. P,
Briggs, farmer residing near Tall-
man. Mr. Briggs has a quarter of a
acre in strawberries, and picked an un
usually large crop last Juner. He then
mowed down the vines, covered the
patch with straw and set it on fire.
The vines were burned off so that the
field was entirely bare.
New vines came up soon and rapidly
blossomed out, and Mr. Briggs is now
picking his second crop, which is two-
thirds as large as his big crop in June.
In many strawberry gardens near
this city and in some of the big mar
ket gardens along the Santiam river
at Lebanon second crops of strawber
ries were picked this year. This con
dition was largely due to the unusual
rains in August and September, and
many growers are planning to make
arrangements to irrigate their gardens
for a second crop next summer.
