PORTLAND, June 3. War between
the Bing Kong-Bow Leong and Hip

today when Toy Tung, 70, was shot
and killed instantly, hardly an hour
after the major portion! of the Chinese
residents of the city had returned
from the funeral of Sue Kee Lang,
wealthy Chinese merchant. All China
town was thrown into an uproar by
the killing.
The body of Toy was riddled by six
bullets, fired at close range from a .32
calibre automatic pistol.
Delay in calling the police probably
was responsible for the escape of the
murderer, and the entire force was
working on a meager description,
furnished in badly broken. English by
Lee Ling, employer of Toy.
When, the police arrived they found
the body and some empty pistol car
tridges, an automatic pistol and an
antiquated weapon with which Toy
Tung apparently tried to defend him
self. " '
His pistol failing him, Toy evi
dently tried to shield himself with
some large earthenware ' crocks by
holding tiem In front-of him. - There
were two crocks there. One had four
bullet holes in the bottom and the
other had three.
Toy was known to the police as a
Bing Kong-BoW Leong tong member,
and the . police were certain his as
sailant was a Hip Sing. In the last
war the Bing Kong-Bdw Leongs fin
ished three ahead and the Hip Sings
have made no retaliation. The recent
attempt at peace between . all local
tongs fell through when the Hip Sings
refused to sign, and the circumstances
said the police, point to the Hip Sing
tong as the perpetrator of the murder.
