8 TTTE MORNING OTl"EGONTAN, IfONDAY, TfOVI23TIT5It 1G. 1014. 5 CHINESE GUNMEN HELD FORKING WAR Three Are Seized for Alleged Participation in Street Battle Saturday. PEACE MAY COME TUESDAY Factions In Conflict -Await Arrival of Envoys From San Francisco to Sign Xew Pact Po lice "Watch CloBely. Three more Chinese gunmen, mem bers of the Hop Sing tong, were ar rested at 7 o'clock yesterday morning by police who were scouring the city for the six or eight highbinders who staged a sensational but almost blood less revolver battle on Flanders street Saturday night. The three, one of whom had a revolver, are Sing High, Lee Took and Moy Ham. Sergeant Wells and Patrolman H. H. Harms arrested them at Sixth and Everett streets in a lodging-house. At least one man was wounded in the battle. He was Jung Sing, who dis claims membership in either the Suey Sing or Hop Sing tong, and steadfastly maintains that he was an innocent by stander. Jung. Sing appeared at St. Vincent's Hospital early yesterday for teratment. He had a flesh wound in the left thigh. Jung Sing and his friends who vis ited him at the hospital were reticent when detectives came to see him. Peace Envoys Due Tomorrow, According to reliable information from the Chinese Quarter, peace can not be assured until Tuesday, when Hop Sing and Suey Sing leaders from San Francisco will arrive in Portland to hold a pow-wow and sign another peace agreement. Members of the Peace Society said the Suey Sings Sat urday night refused to sign an armis tice or temporary agreement which would hold them until permanent terms are arranged. The conference, which may be held Tuesday night, is expected to restore peace between tho tongs in all the Coast cities. Telegrams from San Francisco and Stockton report that the representatives left those cities last night for Portland. Extreme difficulty was encountered by the police and detectives who combed the city yesterday for gunmen and highbinders and made efforts to get at the root of the war between the Hop Sings and the Suey Sings. .With all their inquiry and questioning they ran into the stonewall of proverbial Chinese reticence. Investigators' Tank Difficult. Even the five gunmen under arrest, most of whom were caught almost red handed, will give no valuable informa tion. Up to a certain point they will talk fluently in English. They will tell all about their own connection with the affair, if they had any, but refuse to give any Information about others interested in the war, or about the causes of the war Itself. A question concerning vital facts closes the Orien tal's mouth like a trap. "No sabe talk," he says, and beyond this point the authorities cannot go. A Chinese who gave his name as Pong Hung went to tho Good Samari tan Hospital yesterday and is booked there as a paralytic. Suspicious blue stains on his left side led the police to believe he had been burned by pow der, but doctors said this probably was not the case. Detectives could get no information from him. Dnibdam Bullets Found. More dumdum bullets were taken from the arrested Chinese by Detec tives Swennes and Moloney yesterday. These bullets are practically the same as those which have caused so much controversy between the warrinp Eu ropean nations. The nose of the bullet protrudes just a little beyond the top of the cartridge, most of the slug being enclosed in the shell. The bullet is of soft lead, and when it strikes any ob ject tho impact flattens It, tearing a big. Jagged wound. Those near the scene of Saturday night's battle on Flanders Street, be tween Fourth and Fifth streets, concur in the statement that at least 18 or 20 shots were flred. There were two or perhaps three Suey Sing gunmen and five or six Hop Sings in the engage ment. That there were no fatalities was probably due as much to good luck as to poor marksmanship, for the Orientals fought at close quarters. Police Watch Closely. Under orders from Chief Clark the police are watching the Chinese quarter closely to prevent any further out breaks until peace is assured. There are now six Chinese under ar rest in connection with the present tong war. Two of these are Suey Sing and four Hop Sing highbinders. Lum Chong Ting, alias Liin Tong, who opened the war November 7 by stabbing Jim Wong, a Hop Sing member, was the first to fall into the hands of the police. Detectives Swennes and Mo loney arrested him early last Monday morning at Vancouver, where he had lied after the stabbing of Jim Wong. Julian Alabera, half-caste Filipino and Chinese, is the other Suey Sing gunman under arrest. He was caught by Sergeant Oelsner and Patrolmen Collins and Madden when he was try ing to hide Immediately after Saturday night's melee. Chan Wing, Sing High, Lee Took and Moy Ham are the four alleged Hop Sing gunmen now in the City Jail. Police are looking for Louie Hing, a Suey Sing tong highbinder, who they believe was one of the fighters in Sat urday night's street battle. Hing is at present a refugee, an indictment charging murder having been returned against him after the tong War in this city two years ago. Since' then he has been awa. from this city or in hiding, but is believed to have returned for the present trouble. If arrested he will be tried on the old indictment. Jung Sing, the Chinese who was wounded in the leg, is none other than the notorious Louie Hing, is the belief of Detectives Swennes and Molonev an1 Deputy District Attorney Ryan. Acting on this belief, the officers last maht arrested Jung Sing at St. Vincent's Hospital and took him to the City Jail. In another search of the Suey Sing neaaquarters last night Sid Yock and 'Ah Yoke were arrested when they were louna carrying revolvers. CIirVESE MAKE PEACE SOTJTII Tongs in San Francisco Sign Pact After Long Conference. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15. (Special.) Peace reigns again in Chinatown as a result of an agreement reached this afternoon at a conference of the Chi nese Peace Society in Waverly Place, attended by representatives of the Suey Sing and Sen Suey Ng tongs. The conference lasted all afternoon and the decision was reported after Intimations by the police that there would be de portations of tong leaders if the war continued. The threatened hostilities between the Suey 8ing and Sen Suey Ng tongs came to a" head locally Saturday - night when three Sen Suey Nf gunmen opened fire on as many Suey Sins members at Stockton and Washington streets.

Hendrv. of 424 Stanton street, was held up at East Seventh and Graham streets by a j u mi g roDoer, woo got si.au. A few minutes later another woman, who refused to give her name over the telephone, said she was held up in Holladay Park and robbed of 5 cents. A younc robber halted two girls at East Twelfth and Davis streets and de manded money. They ran and he ooitea in tne opposite direction. November 14 Miss L. Watner. of Twentieth and Kearney streets, was held up by , a 2'oung highwayman at Twentletn and Everett streets and robbed of a purse containing $10. Mrs. E. L. Disbro at East Thirtv-flrst ami Hawthorne, held up at point ..- gun and relieved of $1.45.

Gwaltney, 431 Larra bee street, held ud in front of .home and relieved of small change, by youth. Ten holdups in Portland since No vember 1. in whicH women were the victims in every case are believed to have been the work of Felix Sloper, a 17-year-old highwayman from lone, Cal., who was arrested at Broadway and Larrabee street last' night by Pa trolman R. H. Fields just after he had held up Miss I. Gwaltney, of 431 Larra bee street, almost in front of her home. Fields was forced to fire two shots at Sloper before the capture was effected. Sloper confessed waylaying Miss Gwaltney. He had a loaded revolver in his pocket, and after questioning by Detectives Vaughn and Grisim, led them to the place where he had hidden Miss Gwaltney's purse. Sloper at first said he had Just come to Portland from Seattle. The police have ascertained that he has a police record and has violated parole granted him in California. Later he became confused in his statements. His de scription tallies with that given by many women who were held up and robbed "by a slender, hungry-looking boy with a shiny revolver." " The methods of the young highway man have been baffling, and, although he has obtained litle money as a result of his crime, he has terrorized many women. 14 Women Waylaid. Women have been the victims of at least 14 holdups since October 1, ac cording to police reports. Only five of these took place during October, and these were cleared up by the arrest ol three youths who confessed the crimes. All tho women said the highwaymen who robbed them were not more than 21 years old. Miss L Wagner, who lives at Twen tieth and Kearney streets, reported to the police Saturday night that she was held up at Twentieth and Everett streets by an 18-year-old highwayman and robbed of a purse containing $U. She gace a description of the youth to Detectives Swennes and Moloney. Miss Wagner said the young man walked up behind her, displayed a nickeled re volver, grabbed her purse and ran. At llrSO o'clock Saturday night a youth stopped Mrs. E. L. Disbro at East Thirty-first street and Haw thorne avenue and, at tho point of a small revolver, demanded money. He took a purse containing $1.45 and hur ried away. Mrs. Disbro lives at 741 Madison street. Women Are Victims. Although many women have been held up recently, but one man has been the victim of an outdoor holdup in the same period. Saturday night Carl Bauman, at 953 Yale street, reported that he was held up at Fifth and Everett streets by two unmasked high waymen and robbed of $1.80 and a gold watch. This was the first case of a man being held up In Portland foi many weeks. , All of the women held up said th highwaymen were not more than 21 years old. and In some cases the de scriptions tallied. Some of the hold ups were engineered by two youths, but in most cases one boy operated alone. So small have been the sums ob tained by the robbers that the wo met. victims in most cases have been re luctant to give full details to the po lice. In some cases the women were so excited they could give no descrip tion of their assailants, and in other cases they reported the holdups as though they had been exciting and en joyable adventures. Court Leniency Blamed. The five October holdups were cleared up with the arrest of Aloyslus Bader, Frank Misler and John Reed, who admitted their guilt to the police. These three young men have been bound over to the grand Jury on their confessions and evidence obtained by Detectives Hellyer, Tackaberry, Goltz and AoDott. Numerous suspects have been arrest ed by the police and detectives, but none of these has been positively iden tified by any of the victims. Some ot them were connected with petty thiev ery in various parts of the city and charges have been placed against them. The police are inclined to blame the courts, wnicn, they declare, are to lenient with youthful offenders found guilty of petty crimes. Such boys, they oeciare, are responsiuie for the epi demic of holdups In which women have been the victims. , REFORM AFTER WAR SEEN Minister Says Reaction Is Likely to Result From Conflict. "That the present war, like every war, will bring much evil in Its train. goes without saying; but, that there will also be a great reaction is true and it will be in the direction of bet ter perspective and of juster appraisal of moral values. This deeper and truer realization of moral values will tend toward sanity and proportion in the social movements of our time. Rev. W. G. Eliot. Jr., pastor of the Unitarian Church, made this state ment yesterday in his sermon on the war. He said further: "Every important human interest has been threatened in recent years by the dominance in many quarters of these bad ' tendencies: First, material ism, in philosophy and worldliness of life. By the one I mean the attempt to explain humanity chemically. By the other I mean the attempt to test and measure human life exclusively in terms of worldly success. "Second, philosophic selfishness has been carried into practice. By this I mean the over-emphasis of self-development, self-expression, self-assertion, self rights, personal rights, personal instinct, unconverted' personal impulse and personal liberty above all other considerations whatsoever. "Third, the tendency to put chief de pendence on statutes however wise as far as they go, for the solution of all human problems to the undue subordi nation or to the exclusion of individual character and Inward experience as factors of any importance. "I believe these three bad tendencies will decrease and that the war will hasten a long overdue reaction in fa vor of a spiritual philosophy and a n t t r to . vv, y i j.0 ijuv.i,i,..i1ii-'' ....rH.

It will be realized that democracy stands or falls with the personal In tegrity, responsibility, stability, good will and sound Judgment of the people. "Without sound constitutional checks we are in danger of the tyranny of the majority. Without education, self control, good will ' and consecration popular government Is a failure. The hope of social movements against hopeless retrogression is a return to sanity, perspective and proportion." OY GOES m ALONE CHARLES RANDALL, 5, RIDES 2300 MILES ADVERTISING PORTLAND. Lad on Retnrn From Visit Bean Cards . Boosting; Northwest and Gains Hack Attention on Train. Master Charles Randall, 4 hi years old, has just completed a railroad journey of 2300 miles alone. He left Grand Rapids, Mich., last Thursday at noon in care of his grandfather, who gave him into the custody of Benjamin Mitchell, a Pullman porter, at Chicago, Thursday night. Mitchell cared for the child until his arrival at Vancouver, Wash., last night, where he was met by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Randall, who reside at the Alma Hotel, Portland. The boy had been visiting his grand parents. For his return Journey he was fixed up with a hatband marked "See the Pacific Northwest First on Your Way to the Panama-Pacific Fair, San n 3f Of St i .ri ' a- Charles Randall. Fonr and One Half Years Old, Who Traveled From Chicago to Portland In Careof Porter. Francisco," and a tag pinned to his breast bearing the description, "Master Charles Randall. Five Years Old, Grand Rapids. Mich., to Portland, Or., the Rose City." The youthful traveler attracted much attention on the train, and was inter viewed at various stations on the way. On the first night out he cried for his grandfather, but was comforted by the porter, who dressed and undressed him each day, and he soon became accus tomed to the trip. J. Z. Stansberry, the conductor, was also much interested in his passenger. When asked yesterday morning what he would like for break fast. Master Charles replied "chicken." and got it; he also got chicken for most of his meals, for he was his own master and knew what he wanted. His companion, met casually in the observation car, was Frances Antell, a young lady slightly his junior, who was on her way , with her parents to San Francisco. The routes from Chicago covered by Master Charles were the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy, Great Northern and Spokane, Portland & Se attle railroads.

BACKERS ALSO AMENABLE Official Declares Supporters of Movement Are In Danger If They Were Aware ol Deceit. 'Lists Amaze Mayor. Those who are alleged to have been involved in fraud in connection with the filing of recall petitions prelimi nary to the recent city election will be prosecuted under the general statute which provides penitentiary sentence for anyone who forges an instrument. That opinion was expressed by City At torney La Roche yesterday. When the alleged fraud was discov ered Saturday there was doubt in the minds of many as to whether the of fenders could be convicted, for the rea son that the recall law does not pro vide a penalty for such offenses. City Attorney La Roche said he felt certain, however, convictions could be had un der the general law against forgery. Backers May Be Involved. "The provisions of this general act are ample, in my judgment, to obtain convictions in the Instances now being investigated by the grand jury" said Mr. La Roche. "It will Involve not only those who were personally guilty of perjury but also those who were back of the recall movement in case they knew of the fraud before the pe titions were filed." While Mayor Albee would not say yesterday that he believed the recall committee, M. K. Gibson, A. C. Allen and d. W. Hohlt, were involved in the alleged irregularities, he intimated as much when he said he thought It was strange if they didn't know what was going on. "I wouldn't want to say that the members of the recall committee knew how the petitions were being prepared' said the Mayor, "but tne fraud in those petitions was so apparent after single glance that I have wondered if they didn't know what was being done. Fraud Seen At Glance. "After one of the budget meetings the other day one of us remarked that we had never taken a look at the re call petitions. Accordingly we spread them out before us and instantly we realized that a large number of the names were fraudulent. At a glance one could see that whole pages had been written by the same hand and a few minutes' investigation, revealed the fact that both names and addresses had been 'faked.' " Mayor Albee said he did not know there was a move on foot to "white wash" the leaders in the recall move ment. "But I know they shouldn't be 'white-washed,' he said. Everyone guilty of the alleged fraud should be punished regardless of who he is." SIX NAMED TO FRAME LAW Governor Lister Appoints Employers and Employes for "First Aid" Act. OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 15. (Spe cial.) Appointment of three repre sentative employers and three repre sentatives of organized labor, to act with the members of the Industrial In surance Commission as a commission of nine to draft a "first aid" or medical atendance amendment to the Washing ton compensation act, was announced by Governor Lister today. The first-aid clause was eliminated from the original act when it was passed by the 1911 Legislature and the first aid question has ever since been a political issue in this state. Failing to win enactment of such a measure from the Legislature of 1913. organ ized labor this year initiated a first-aid bill as one of the "seven sisters." The measure was opposed on account of faulty construction and Governor Lis ter said in the campaign - that If it were defeated he would appoint a com mission of employers and employes to draft a carefully considered measure In its place. The measure was beaten by a narrow margin. MAZAMAS SELECT ROUTE Crater Lake, Mount Shasta and San Francisco Fair 1915 Outing. Crater Lake, Mount Shasta and the Panama - Pacific Exposition were chosen for the 1915 outing of the Ma tamas, only five votes dissenting, when a ballot was taken by 300 Mazamas in the Central Library Saturday night.

Two More Bond Issues Authorised by Lea-lalatnre Are Found to Have lleen Burned by Official. BOISE. Idaho. Nov. 15. (Special.) The Investigation into the state treas ury steal during the four years that the treasury department was in charge of C. V. Allen, defaulting State Treas urer, has been turned over to W. H. Gleason, expert accountant, who has arrived from Chicago and has been commissioned by Governor Haines to complete the probe.' Following a conference with the Governor, Examiner Axel P. Ramstedt of the Tax Commission and IL H. Mil ler, expert accountant with the public Utilities Commission. Mr. Gleason took charge of the books and records of the former two administrations of the Treasurer. Expert Gleason audited the books of the City of Boise some years ago when Governor Haines was Mayor. It has been learned that two addi tional bond issues authorized by the last Legislature, one for $10,000 for improvements at Lava Hot Springs in Bannock County, state property, and the second for $10,000 for construction work on the Yellowstone-Boise road, were included among the four bond issues Allen is alleged to have burned. The other two issues were $25,000 for the penitentiary bond and $6000 for the Rupert potato and beet sugar , ex perimental station. The two latter is sues were sold after Allen held them for a year as cash items to cover his shortage, having bought them back from the original purchasers at a profit for himself. The two other bond is sues for $10,000 respectively making $20,000 In all, were not sold, according to information received from Exam iner Ramstedt, although Allen had them reprinted, as he did the other two. The $50,000 received from the Gov ernment as Idaho's share of funds available for agricultural experimental work, said to have been Juggled by Allen, in that he held up the Govern ment check for some time, carrying it as a cash item to cover-his shortage.

Continuous work, mental or physical, without proper vacation periods, without proper at tention to diet and exercise, also worry over the struggles for success, are the most common causes. Excesses of almost any kind may produce It. Some diseases, like the grip, will cause neurasthenia. So also will a severe shock. Intense anxiety or grief. The symptoms are over-sensitiveness, irritability, a disposition to worry over trifles, headacne, possibly nausea. The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic tonic As the nerves get their nourishment from the blood the treat ment must be directed toward building up the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pi is act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to anaemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients. Is also cor rected by these tonic pills. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink pills.
