FEARS FOR HIS LIFE
Chung Chung Appeals for Pro
tection From Highbinders.
SAYS DOOM IS SEALED
".Mayor of Chinatown" Declares
Death Sentence Is- Posted .on
Walls Along Second ' Street.
lamblers Back of Plot. '
ChutiR CluiTic. known as "the Mayor
of Chinatown." rushed breathlessly- into
iwlice headquarters last night at 9 o'clock
and begged Chief of Police Gritzmaeher
to detail a squad of officers to protect
him from highbinders. The excited Asi
atic declared that murderous hirelings of
rival tongs were seeking to kill ' him be
cause they had been informed that Chung
betrayed their gambling dens to the po
lice. Chief of Police Gritzmaeher thought
Chung's life was not In grave danger,
although the excited Chinese declared
that all Chinatown was in an uproar over
the affair and that posters had been
placed on conspicuous corners of the dis
trict warning Chung to beware; that his
life was in danger, and that he would
be killed at the first opportunity.
Chung Chung refused to leave police
headquarters for a time, fearing he would
be assassinated at any moment, but
seemed to be more calm after a chat
with Chief Gritzmaeher and ventured out
into the streets very cautiously. '
According to Chung Chung he had been
heralded throughout Chinatown as hav
ing betrayed the location of certain Chi
nese establishments where fantan games
have been in operation of late. His in
vestigation, he stated, had developed the
fact that Patrolman James Anderson had
told some of Chung's rivals that Chung
had given the police information about
gambling games. Angered because of this
alleged betrayal, the tongs are said to
have employed some murderous highbind
ers to execute Chung.
The first that Chung knew of the trou
ble, he said, was when passing the bul
letin board at Second and Alder streets.
An excited crowd of Chinese were stand
ing about eagerly reading a flaring poster.
Chung stopped long enough to read the
characters that made him quake with
mortal terror, at which he dashed off to
his own house to Investigate. Trusted
friends were dispatched to various es
tablishments throughout Chinatown to
seek Information and brought back the
statements that Chung was accused of
betraying rivals to Patrolman Anderson.
Chung Chung is a powerful specimen
of the Chinese race, being the largest
resident of the district, but he trembled
with fear and appeared to be in constant
terror lest he should be shot down by
some unseen foe.

NO CLEW TO CRACKSMEN
Postal Inspectors Investigate) Rob
bery of Forest Grove Office.
Postal Inspectors Riches and Clements
returned yesterday from Forest Grove,
where they went to investigate the post
office robbery which occurred! Friday
night of last week, when J60 in cash, and
$300 worth of stamps were stolen.
The officials made a careful search for
clews, but report that they have noth
ing tangible as yet, though they feel cer
tain that -the cracksmen who did the job
came from Portland, and may be hiding
here. They traced the thieves from For
est Grove to Reedvllle by means of a rail
way velocipede, which was stolen from
the section house at Cornelius on the
night of the 'robbery. From Reedvllle
the robbers are supposed to have come
to this city by train.
The cracksmen pursued the same meth
ods used 'by other 'burglars who have
been operating in different parts of the
Valley. The Inspectors found among the
tools abandoned by the thieves a punch,
a burglar's Jimmy, a cake of soap and
seven yards of fuse. The jimmy was
used to pry off the combination disc, and
the punch was employed to drive out
the bolt which holds the tumblers of
the combination. This prepared an open
ing in which the explosive was inserted,
and as a -result of the explosion the
front of the safe was blown off, exposing
the contents.
The jimmy used was of a type unfa
miliar to the Government officials, and
when found was much bent and dam
aged. The punch was stolen from a
wagon shop in the town on the night of
the robbery; also a large sledge hammer,
the handle of which had been sawed off
for convenience. This tool was found
where it had been thrown, under a side
walk, i
