One Chinese Shot, and Killed
During Honkong '
Fight.
EARS OF OTHERS SPLIT
Secret League Offers to Pay Slayers
of Traitor Merchants $200.
Trouble Spreads to
Singapore.

resulted here yesterday in the attempt
of those involvea to force the local mer
chants to continue the boycott against
Japanese- goods has been suppressed by
the soldiers, who were called otit to patrol
the business districts. One Chinese who
offered armed resistance was hot.
The rlota were organ feed primarily by
the students of the city and the dis
turbance evidently is widespread. At
Singapore similar riots have occurred and
a number of merchants are said to have
shown a desire to discontinue the boy
cott and otherwise favor Japanese, and
have been branded a traitors, and in sev
eral instances marked by having their
ears Ut.
It is allf-eed that a league has been
formed secretly and has pledged itself
to Rive to any man who slits the ears of
a so-called "traitor" $15 and. should he
be thrown into Jail, to see that he is helJ
up to the public as a martyr and pay turn
a dollar a day while In prison. Should
one of the traitor merchants be killed
it Is alleged the league agrees to pay his
slayer J200.
At Canton there have been hints of
the same trouble and a number of
ruffians have been hired to attack mer
chants. Rigorous measures to suppress
the rioting have been taken there.

MADE GRANT CIGAR DEPOT
Son Tells How Father Became a
Confirmed Smoker.
DETROIT. Mich., Nov. 2. Major-Gen-eral
Fred D. Grant, who Is presiding at
the court-martial now In session at
Fort Wayne, in the western suburbs of
this cit. said to some friends here
that the cigar that initiated his father,
the late President U. S. Grant, Intojhe
tobacco-smoking hahlr. really figured
oit. .trnnirK- in the winning of the
battle of Fort Donaldson. Speaking of
this incident. General Grant said:
'"My father was In conference with
Admiral Foote on the latter's flagship
and had Just accepted a cigar from the
Admiral when word came to him that
the left flank of his forces was being
repulsed. Hurrying ashore and gallop
ing on a fleet horse to the battlefield,
he succeeded in rallying his forces so
completely that chaos was turned Into
victory. General Buckner had to com
ply with my father's demand for an
unconditional surrender.
"The newspapers took up the fact
that father had rushed from the war
ship to the battlefield without taking
Admiral Foote's cigar from his mouth.
The dlsoatches from the front told
how father had come onto the battle
field 'cool and collected, and peacefully
smoking a long, black cigar."
"People who read the story began
sending congratulations and presents of
cigars. Tens of thousands of cigars
came. It made a confirmed smoker of
him. But he did not smoke as many
cigars us people imagined he did.
Sometimes one cigar that he would
frequently relight would last him
from breakfast to luncheon. It was the
fact that he almost constantly held a
cigar between his fingers that- made
people describe him as a great smoker."
General Grant said that his father
tried to acquire the smoking habit at
West Point Just because the rules for
bade smoking. His attempts at smok
ing while he was a cadet, however,
made him very sick, and when he left
West Point he practically gave them
up. During the Mexican War, General
Grant said, his father took a liking to
the Mexican cigars and found that they
agreed with him, but when he re
turned to the North he again dropped
the habit of smoking, to resume it after
the Fort Donaldson incident.
