KILL THREE, WOUND SEVEN Dozen Desperadoes Dash Down Nar row Alley, Shooting Into Crowd With Deadly Aim Result of a Long Feud. BOSTON, Augf. 2. Burning with hatred for their enemies belonging to the rival On Leong Tong, a band of Kew York Chinamen numbering a dozen or more and said to be members of the notorious Hep Sing Tong, enr tered a narrow alley in Chinatown to night a ad, drawing revolvers, opened fire upon half a hundred Chinamen, killing three and Injuring seven. At the first volley the Chinamen rushed for their quarters. The Hop Sings chased their victims Into their own doorways and shot them down as they rushed upsalrs or into side rooms. Then, casting away their guns, the visitors ran from the Chinese quar ters, most of them escaping the police. Several Invaders Captured. Immediately after the shooting one of J:he Hop Sings from New York was captured by a policeman as he was running away. The man gave the name of N'im Sing. He was dressed in American clothes. Later an of ficer at the south station took into cuteody Mong Woon, aged 34, of New York, whose hands were powder etalned. Both prisoners are charged with manslaughter. The police placed under arrest on suspicion seven other Chinamen who were strangers in the community. The shooting occurred In Oxford Place, In the center of Chinatown, where about 50 Chinamen were smok ing in the open air. Fully 50 shots were fired. The visitors shot with careful accuracy, which was apparent from the fact that each of the three men killed was shot through the heart. Trouble Long Brewing. The trouble of tonight has been an ticipated for more than a week. About ten days ago nearly a dozen China men, who were all strangers, came to Boston and rented rooms near China town. The police were notified of the fact by Boston Chinamen, who feared trouble. Special details of police were at once placed on duty In the Chinese quarter and the strangers suddenly dis appeared. The trouble is attributed by some to the shooting which occurred in Phila delphia, for which It is said Boston Chinamen were partially blamed. It is thought the Chinamen who did the shooting tonight came from New York to punish the On Leong Tongs for the Philadelphia outbreak.

REPORTS OF RUN OF SALMON Letters From Alaska Tell of Small Pack of Red Salmon. ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 2. (Special.) Sev eral letters were received this afternoon from the salmon canneries on the Nusha gak River. Bristol Bay, Alaska. They were dated on July 5 and all tell of the slack run of red salmon up to that time, some even estimating that the pack will be 50 per cent short of last season's out put. The Columbia River Packers' Asso ciation received a letter, which does not put so gloomy an aspect on the outlook as do some of the others.

The red salmon were, however, un usually late, on account of the extremely cold and backward season. There had been only a few days of red salmon fish ing up to that time, so the pack was very small. As the fishing season In Nusha gak River usually closes about July 25, al though it may be a little later this year, the plants would have not less than 20 days In which to operate after the letters were sent out.

An attack has been made upon the three-cent a mile rate of the Union Pacific Company by Charles A. ' Sibley, a resident of Ne braska.

The complaint alleges that the Union Pacific Railroad Comp-.ny exacts a rate of three cents a mile from inter-state passengers, although within the limits of .Nebraska it charges a rate of only two cents a mile. He says he travels from a point In Western Nebraska through a part of Colorado to another point in Nebraska and is required to pay the three-cent rate because the company holds that is inter-state business. He asks the Com mission to fix a just maximum passenger rate which the company shall charge on inter-state business. Wants, Same Rate as Eastern Men. OMAHA. Neb., Aug. 2.

Since then a flat rate of I cent a mile has been made for states east of Chicago. Mr. Creigh alleges discrimina tion and will appeal to the Interstate Commerce Commission unless the roads make a uniform rate. Bamboo Culture In Victoria. VICTORIA, B. C Aug. 2.
