Railroad Clerk Denies That Ex-
pressman Dropped Hint About
Trunk at Depot Circulars
Ar rent Broadcast.
Kvery Chlnesa affiliated with tha Big
Six companies, all along the Pacific
Coast, will be bending his efforts to
day to capture Choi Sin. th Chinese
woman who Is accused of murdering
Sold Btng and of shipping hla mangled
remains to Seattle In a trunk. The
diet has gone forth from the head
quarters of the great federation of
tongs, and aa It controls, directly or In
directly, a majority of the Chinese on
the) Coast, the. effect of the order la ex
pected to be notable.
Absolute disregard of expense has
been enjoined by the Chinese leaders
upon Captain of Detectives Baty. Cir
culars describing tha woman and her
alleged crime were ordered to the num
ber of too. but when the Chinese were
Informed of the fact they Immediately
doubled the order, wishing to aend the
message broadcast among Chinese as
well aa Americans. Even in the de
tail of mailing the circulars they ex
pressed themselves. Insisting that they
should be sent first-class under 2-cent
stamps.
Telegraphic remittance was made
yesterday of $212.60 to Seattle to cover
undertaker's chargea on the body at
that place Detective Day telegraphed
from Seattle yesterday that he would
to the Ave mentioned above, the sup
port of the "regular" element In the
club has been thrown to the five other
nominees. 8. Blaumauer, W. H. Fear,
O. W. Klelser, F. B. Riley and A. M.
Smith. Campaigning on both sidea
waxed strong yesterday, and the elec
tion tonight promises to be highly ex
citing. The Insurgent element in the club
has been headed by those who were
prime movers in the recent struggle
to obtain greater liberties in the card
rooms of the club, and when unable to
do ao took steps to organise the "Down
town Club,'." which, however, never be
came fully organised.
Replies to the letters that were sent
out earlier In the week regarding the
proposal to change the location of the
club to the Market building, which will
be erected at Ankeny and Pine between
Fifth and Sixth, have been received
from a large portion of the club mem
bers. Out of S75 writing, 39 were in
favor of leaving the subject In the
hands of the Board of Governors with
full power to act. S were against mov
ing to the Market building, and 268
were In favor of accepting the proposed
quarters In the new structure. This
preliminary vote was taken merely to
ascertain the general opinion of the
club members and to draw the aubject
forcibly to their attention. The final
vote on the question will be taken at
the meeting tonight.
A buffet luncheon will be served to
the clubmen, and arrangements have
been made to accommodate 600 per
sons. It Is thought that the attend
ance at this meeting will be the largest
thus far In the history of the club.

typewritten and attested copy of the
evidence taken before a Coroner's jury
yesterday.
Hint at Depot Denied.
Denial that any suspicion aa to the
contenta of the trunk containing the
body of the murdered man waa men
tioned by Starfas, the expressman,
when he delivered It at the railroad
atatlon. la made by K. H. Grltsmacher.
the attendant at the baggage room,
who. the records show, received the
trunk. He remembers nothing of the
Incident, he fays, and Is positive that
there was nothing about the trunk, to
call his special attention.
Starfas baa told Grltxmacher since
the exposure of the murder, that when
ho drove away after leaving the trunk,
he found sawdust and salt In the bot
tom of hla wagon.
Giving no aid toward tracing the
crime, but adding mute testimony to
the horror, the mattress on which the
body of Seld Bing waa mangled was
found by Detective Hyde In a room
two doora from the one occupied by
he Woman, Choi Ban. in the rookery at
Fourth and Everett streets. A great
piece of the covering had been cut
from the middle, where the tell-tale
evidence waa the thickeat, but many
stains were found on other parts of it.
Trala Clew rails Flat.
A Japanese and hla wife occupied the
room, after Chlo San left It. but knew
nothing that pointed toward the crime.
When they were Informed that a mur-
er had been committed in tha room.
after the discovery of the body at Se
ttle, they lost no time In abandoning
It and moving to other quarters.
Additional mystery has been thrown
round the movements of three male
Chinese, who Tied from Portland early
Thursday morning, by the statement of
conductor on the Southern Pacific
railroad, on whose train they were sup
posed to have gone, that he did not
carry them. The only Chinese pas-
lenger he had leaving Portland at 1
o'clock Thursday, he says, waa a well-
nown hopgrower.
The three suspects bought tickets
for San Francisco at the downtown
ticket office of the company, and Chi
nese who followed them reported to
Captain Baty that they went on tho
train and left It this side of Salem, but
the statement of the conductor makes
It appear that they either went on an
other train, or are still in hfdlng In
the city. . Every outlet is being watched
for tTlem and vigilance has been en
Joined on the Chinese working the San
Francisco end of the case, to keep
watch for them there.
Comity Should Exist Between Tw
Sister Democracies. Say More
Progressive Members of Re
public Suit Is Planned.
Basing their demand for more con
slderate handling by the police upon
their conversion to republican prlncl
pies, Chinese representatives of all fac
tlons held a meeting Tuesday night and
voted to make a new attack upon the
city ordinances under which the police
raid their places as gambling houses.
The new political attitude of the
Chinese will be strongly insisted upon
in the appeals to be made, - on the
ground that a comity should exist be
tween sister democracies that could not
be expected where the systems of gov
ernment are more different. Abandon
ment of the racial queue will be held
forth as the sign visible of a change of
spirit.
Since the Chinese appealed recently
to the Federal Court for a restraining
order and 110.000 damages against a
number of policemen, there has been
little activity in the way of gambling
raids, though , the court refused to in
terfere with the city ordinances and
denied the order. The damage phase
oi me suit la still pending.
Restraint Will Be Asked.
Tet, say the Chinese, while few ar
rests are being made, the sanctity of
tbeir homes Is being violated constantly
bv policemen, who Intrude on their
privacy, disturb their arrangements and
oriend their dignity by pretended
searches for gambling games. To do
away with the annoyance, they pro
pose to go Into Circuit Court and ask
for a restraining order against the full
enforcement of the ordinance recently
passed, which forbids atrong doora in
nouses where gambling games are car
ried on. They contend that the ordi
nance has given the police only an
apparent advantage, as Justification for
an attack still must go back to the
actual finding of a game inside the
doors.
The protestants say that the police
have made frequent attacks without
finding conditions within that Justified
them. In one such case, occurring some
months ago, a detective sergeant nar
rowly saved himself from suit and
punishment within the department by
an apology and by repairing damage
he had done through an entire mis
construction of orders given him.
Suits to Be Filed Soon.
A revolution half-way around the
world has worked a noticeable change
In the attitude of the local Chinese. It
has brought to the front the younger
and more progressive element, wiser to
the methods of Americans, and relegat
ing the older generation who were
"stand-patters" In every way. Instead
of the stoical submission of the old
Chinese, is seen an adoption of Ameri
can methods, even to the point of using
political methods in securing immunity
from police molestation.
The suit now in preparation will be
filed within a week, it is promised, and
the whole question of respecting Chi
nese customs will be threshed out.

proposing to take Its deficit of $107.68
before the board of governors, which
he believes will willingly arrange for
the bills presented In this deficit to be
paid out of the Commercial Club funds.
The Minus Club came Into existence
from the committee that had charge of
the railroad dinner, solely for the pur
pose of cherishing the deficit it found
fter the dinner was over.
A meeting was at once called for Feb
ruary 9, at which the members will
meet to devise a new deficit. About 12
of the members were absent from the
meeting yesterday, saying they feared
an assessment would be made.
In courtesy for his offer to take up
the deficit of the Minus Club. Mr. Beck-

Minus Club in section Q." At a pre
vious meeting of the Minus Club D. O.
