Eliminate Trial. Lorn Quong was released today on surety bonds. . A new color has been lent the situa tion here and on the coast by the shooting this morning in San Fran cisco, but La Grande Chinese are in clined to think it will not revive the tong situation. ' y It is understood there is a possibil ity that Lent Quong, accused of as saulting Eng Chong some time ago during the tong war in this city may be tried this term of court. A soon na the attorneys and the court can agree on a date, tne matter will be settled. It is understood there are enough white witnesses to make a strong case against the defendant, and that the case will be pushed in spite of the settlement of tong differences, is now very clearly indicated. Con cerning the peace conference in Port land, a Portland Telegram item re views the whole situation as fol lows: Not until Woifg Do King, for 30 years president of Bing Kung tong in San Francisco, threatened to take his grip and return o California, thus serving the merger of the Bow Leongs and the Bing Kungs in Port land, did the Portland Bow Leong Bing Kung members consent to peace terms with the Hop Sing tong at 5 o'cldck last night For an hour there was every prospect of a re newal of hostilities and resorting to arms, despite the , signed armistice. But for Wong Do King, who is now under $10,000 bail pending deporta tion, the war would have continude. Here are the peace terms: Each tong has had one man killed and one man wounded; no Chinese will appear to prosecute the Chinese who have been arrested; no indem nity will be paid by either side.' Won't Am in Trials, Lou Quong, who shot Jeung Wah, a Hop Sing; and Louie Wing, wljo killed Yin Luck, a Hop Sing, in front-of House's restaurant, are both under arrest. They are Bing Kung gunmen and were caught red-handed by the police and their crimes were witnessed bv white men. The-peace agreement is that (the )Hop iSingsJ will abandon their plan to nave a special prosecutor, and if there is a conviction it must be secured by the district attorney with his white wit nesses. Jeung Wah may or may not be permitted to identify Lou Quong. The state's case, however, must rest on white testimony, aside from iden tification of the dead Yin Luck. Hop Sings must not prosecute Seid Way Bong, a Bing Kung, who was with Lou Quong at the shooting of Jeung Wah, nor must they involve Jeung Bong, the Bing Kung "point er." This agreement Enables Seid Way Bong to come out of hiding. .'. Bing Kungs must not aid in the apprehension of Lee Kim, Hop Sing, named in jthe dying statement of Wong Ching, a Bing Kung, as one of the three gunmen who shot him at Fifth and Flanders streets. There fore Lee Kim, now in California, and his companions, can return to Port land in perfect safety, and no Bing Kung will notify the police. At La Grande, Eng Chon, a Bing Kung, was wounded by a Hop Sing gunman, and Lem Quong, a Hop Sincr cook, was arrested and accused by the Bings. The Bing Kung tbng must pay the hospital bills of their tong brother and must fail to idnt. fy the prisoner, Lem Quong who they say didn't do the shooting, any way. To Settle Seattle Killing. At Seattle, A. Y. Park, a Korean, will killed, and Yee Bow, secretary of the Hop Sings, is under arrest and indictment, although (innocent, his accusers being Bing Kung mem bers. What happened in Seattle was this: At the hour the tong war was staged by the Bing Gungs, one of their gunmen was waiting to shoot Wong Woon, a prominent Hop Sing, The Korean, Park, dressed like Wong Woon, emerged from the Ibuilding where the Hop Sings dwell a few minutes 'before Wong Woon and the Bing Kung highbinder shot Park and ran across the street. Then the (ping Kungs notified the police that the Hops did the shooting and named the secretary of the lodge, Yee Bow, The palace agreement sgnjd last night insists that the Bing Kungs in Seattle repudiate their identification of Yee Bow and Bings will make a plausible explanation to the district attorney of Kong county. AH Scores Settled. This accounts for all of the kill ings and shootings save that the Seen Quon Yee, the 'Mrish" Chinaman (Hoi Yen Goon Shaw), who was shot br Lou Quon, with Jeung Wah. As Seen Quon Yee was no tongman, this case was not settled by the Ping Wo Woi, as indemnity will be paid direct to the (HoiYen Good IShaw. The murder of Lee Fnut, at Roseburg, appears to have been a crime for robbery as neither the Bing Kong delegates nor the Hop Sing delegates claimed aim at the peace conference It was when the. Seattle chapter was being negotiated that hostilities were almost renewed yesterday, v Chin Hing, president of , the Portland branch of the Bing Kung tong, Seid You Kooey and Chin Leong Look, also Bings, objected. They declared that it was not fair to ' the Bing Kungs that two of their gunmen, Lou Quong and Louie Wing, should be prosecuted by the whites while the Hop Sing gunmen should not be identified by the Bing Kungs. The 'trio insisted that Yee Bow, in .Seat- tie, be convicted. In the wrangle which foljowed, this trio .of Bing Kungs, started to leave the hall on the third floor at 257 1-2 Davis street. Wong Do King Saves Day. Up rose Wong Do King and an nounced that he, as the big headman from headquarters, was; satisfied with the peace terms; that he was opposed to seeing an innocent man convicted of murder. Further, he explained, that in San Francisco the Hop Sines are very powerful, more so than the Bing Gungs in point of numbers, and that they are on a friendly footing at present and he wants them to remain friendly. He called attention to the fact that he has more power than any other Bing Kung and his ulimatum wsb that if the Bow Leongs who belong to the Bing Kung branch in Portland were not satisfied when he, himself, was' satisfied, that he would take his grip and return to San Francisco. This meant that he would withdraw the Bing Kung charter from Portland and leave the Bow Leongs to their own devices to fight their own war with the Hop Sings. If the war was not settled now on the teems whlcn he, as head of the Bing Kungs, ap proved, then the Bow Leong mem bers of the Bing Kung could go on warring and that eventually they would get the worst of it from the Hop Sings; just as they used to do before the Bing Kungs amalgamated with the Bow Leongs. This talk brought peace and all the Chinese agree that but for the square deal ing of Wong Do King and his deters mination there would be more kill ings which would spread up and down the coast.
