RIVALS FOR HEART PLOT
Wong Tun Deck Joins Charmer in
I'ur East and Grudge Against
His Clique Is Harbored.
Nine More Arrested.
Behind the war between the Suey
Sing and Hop Sing tongs, which re
quited in. bloodshed in Portland, ban
Ti Francisco and Stockton Saturday night,
iwas a woman. Yat Tow, a beautiful
7 Chinese girl, started the trouble a year
ago by being too promiscuous with her
affections.
This information, coming from re
liable Chinese sources, was gleaned
yesterday by Deputy District Attorney
i T. G. Ryan, who has been making an.
.exhaustive study of the trouble.
Peace probably will be assured to
day. Representatives of the Hop SlngsT
Bow Leotigs, Suey Sings and Sun Suey
Ngs and of the Heng wo Woi, the
Chinese peace society, will meet at 2
o'clock this afternoon to hold a pow
wow over the peace terms which al
ready have been drawn up.
A year ago Yat Yow was deported
by the immigration authorities. The I
story of the reasons for her deporta
tion Is the story of the cause of the
present war. which In Oregon and Cali
fornia has involved four tongs.
ItlvnlM for Heart Scheme.
Names of all of Yat Tow's admirers
are lacking, but some of them be
longed to the Bow Leong and some to
the Hop Sing tong. The rivals for her
affections frequently got their dates
"mixed, and when one found another
iv courting .the fair Chinese maiden, his
5-jealous rage was aroused. , This Jeal
.usy led to scheming.
-y vvong uun JJecK, member ot r.ne now
jueong long, unuuy conceived in men
of having her deported, and later fol
lowing her to China, where he could
live with her In peace. To carry put
his scheme he called Into service his
friends members of the Bow Leong I
tong.
Wong Tun Deck's scheme was part
ly successful. After much trouble he
succeeded In having her deported. He,
himself, and one or two other mem
bers of hla tong were the principal
witnesses before the immigration
board at Yat Tow's hearing. That
was more than a year ago.
Wong Tun Deck wrote to his own
mother in China, telling her to meet
Yat Yow when she arrived In China,
take care of her, and make a home for
her. Wong sent money for that pur
pose. Enemies Block Woor
The first hair of his scheme suc
ceeded. It only remained for Wong I
to watch his opportunity to slip away
(f to China and Join Yat Yow. But his 1
rivals were on me waicn.
On v a. month a t'i vvnnsr Tim TJ.rie

leaving Tacoma. and prepared to
j; leave America for good. But Just be
l fore he boarded a train for Tacoma
bis rivals had him arrested. One of
: Wong's enemies, a member of the Hop
Sing tong, was the instigator of this
plot. He said Wong Tun Deck had
; robbed him of $200 and was trying to
get hack to China with the money. He
- couldn't prove his charge, but he suc
ceeded in making Wong miss his boat.
To stop Wong, this particular ad-
J' mtrer of the fair Yat Yow had to call
Into service some of his fellow tong-
men. So he started a lot of bad feel
lng between the young brave's of the
Hog Sing tong and the members of I
the Bow Leong tong, to which Wong
x un Deck, the successful admirer of
Yat Yow, belonged.
Battle of 1913 Recalled.
Now the Bow Leongs are not strong
in Portland. Tne suey Sings are
much stronger. But all of them are
overshadowed by the powerful Hop
fcing tong.
Two years ago some Suey Sing gun
men were killed In a war with the Hop
Sings. A peace agreement was ef
fected, but the Suey Sing highbinders
remembered their dead comrades and
always wanted to even up the score,
f Bo when the Bow Leongs had trouble
with the Hop Sings over the wooing of
Yat Yow, the Suey Sings were willing
to help them.
Lum Ching Yong had been a member
;j of the Bow Leong tong and later had
.Joined the Suey Sings.. He was a good
gunman and interested in the griev
ances of both tongs. When the trou
ble began brewing he, with three or
lour other highbinders, came to Port
land from San Francisco. Saturday
night, November 7. Lum Chong Ying
iormally opened hostilities by walking
into tne store oi Jim Wong, a promt
nent Hop Sing, and stabbing him in the
back as he sat eating his dinner.
Peace Agreement Signed.
Through the srood offices of Bans-
Wo Woi a peace agreement was signed
' , the next day.
; Twelve hours later Lum Choncr Tina-,
who had escaped to Vancouver in a
taxicab after the stabbing, was arrest-
ed by Detectives Swennes and Moloney,
who had been aided by a few Hon
Kings. This gave the Hop -Sings the
H last blow and the Suey Sings and Bow
They decided to stage a battle Sun

night they opened hostilities 2 hours

.nop bings. was wounded In the leg af

; ehots had been Bred.
In California hostilities also opened
Saturday night. ' A year ago the Suev

" bers seceded from the organization and

SHOWMEN MEET TODAY
Local Producer Departs to Attend
Conference at Seattle Project
Alms ti Change Companies
by ' Revolving System.
Plans for a chain of stock theaters
to include Portland. Spokane, Seattle
and "Vancouver, B. C, and perhaps one
or two other Northwestern cities, will
be , taken up today in Seattle by
George L. Baker, head of the Baker
Players of Portland.
Mr. Baker, accompanied by Mrs.
Baker, left last night for Seattle to
meet other Northwest theatrical men
interested in the proposal. The con
ference today, at Seattle will be with
Seattle and Vancouver representatives.
Mr. Baker has had the plan in mind
for some months, and the organizing
of a stock company for Spokane, under
the name or the new Famous Baker
Players, several weeks ago, was the
first Intimation that a stock circuit
was under consideration.
Spokane Company Ready.
The Spokane company opens next
Sunday at the Auditorium Theater, in
Spokane, and following the conference
in Seattle, Mr. and Mrs. Baker will
go to Spokane to witness the opening
of the Spokane company Sunday, and
to confer with. Charles W. York and
Dan- Weaver on the All-NorthweBt
stock circuit.
For some months I have been
figuring on a stock theater circuit."
said Mr. Baker last night Just before
leaving. "I do not know that the ar
rangements can be made Just now, but
I have proposals in Seattle and Van
couver to consider. The Spokane situa
tion, as a starting point, looks prpm
ising and if Vancouver and Seattle can
be linked I have hopes cf getting the
circuit into operation."
Details of Mr. Baker's plans have not
been divulged, but it Is understood he
is considering a revolving system of
stock-company players, which would
give to every city in the circuit a
change of players once every four or
five weeks.
Revolvins Plan In View.
The idea of this plan would be to give
all the cities in the circuit plays pre
sented by members of the all-Northwest
company especially fitted for a
particular production. The plan would
allow a greater scope in picking plays
and give each city greater variety
during the season. This plan is still
in embryonic stage, Mr. Baker says.
Mr. Baker several years ago success
fully operated stock companies in the
principal cities of the Northwest in con
Junction with John Cort, who was then
located in Seattle; Calvin Heilig, of
Portland; Dan Weaver and the Rosen-
haupt brothers', of Spokane. The com
panies were particularly popular and
several of his leading players were
sought for New York and Chicago pro
ductions. W hen John Cort revolution
lzed theatrical history several years
ago by breaking up the so-called the
atrlcal trust, several of Mr. Baker's
stars benefited by being Introduced to
the East, where they made good and
are now appearing In new productions.
not only on Broadway, but In Chicago
and other large cities.
The fact that the war in Europe- has
left the United States with a surplus of
highly trained actors and actresses
open for stock engagement has influ
enced Mr. Baker in investigating the
feasibility of a Northwest stock cir
cuit.
Mr. and Mrs. Baker expect to return
to Portland in about 10 days.
RIVER HIGHWAY VIEWED
C. L. HORX CO.VHUCl'S EXCURSION
ISTS OVER ROAD.
Party Leaves Train at Rooster Rock.
Climbs Hill to Chanticler and
Then Walks to LatourelL
The first of C. L. Horn's "personally
conducted sightseeing parties over
the Columbia River Highway took
place Sunday when about two dozen
Portland men and women boarded the
morning train for up the river and
spent the day in viewing the construc
tion wonders of that road.
The party got off the train at Roos
ter Rock, climbed the hill to Chanti
cler and walked along the road to
Latourell, where Mrs. M. E. Hender
son gave them a big spread.
The guests were seated around
miniature of the Columbia River, .the
highway which they had Just passed
and the river up as far as The Dalles.
The model was a wonderful bit of
labor and showed all the spots of in
terest, molded in sand and clay and
covered with, moss.
Leaving Latourell the party went on
to inciai veil, where some dropped
out, while the others continued to
Multnomah Falls.
Among the excursionists were sev
eral men versed in road construction.
One of them was Herbert Nunn. for
many years City Engineer of El Paso.
The type of work appealed to him and
he declared it one of the greatest
pieces of construction -he had ever
viewed. He declares that another mar
vel is the value which the county
receiving for every dollar being spent.
"1 hope that the county will see fit
to complete the road on the, high order
which it has been started. Nothing
short of a good hard surface will be a
desirable paving," said Mr. Nunn.
The party included R. H. Atkinson.

EVANGELIST LAUDS CITY
Beauties of Portland Used to' Point
Moral by J. Brace Evsng.
"Portland is the most beautiful city
I have ever seen, and I hte to say
that, for I live in. Los Angeles and was
reared near Pittsburg," said the Rev,
J. Bruce Evans, evangelist, at the White
Temple last night-
Mr. Evans commented on a trip to
Portland Heights and the view af
forded there, and then went on to say
that people could see grandeur and yet
oe spiritually blind.
"If there is anybody who claims to
have spiritual eyesight and has not
made it known, to his friends - and
neighbors he's still spiritually blind,"
he continued. "If the blind man we
see playing an Instrument on the
streets of Portland suddenly had his
eyesight restored, don't you think that
his neighbors, and everybody in Port
land, for that matter, would know
about it?"
Mr. Evans then told of a recent con
vert, who, when asked If he were not
ashamed to come forward to the mourn
ers' bench In the presence of his com
panions, replied: "I won't let anybody
laugh me out of heaven." From that
the evangelist launched Into the value
of faith.
"I purchased a dollar watch some
time ago purposely to give it away. In
a Sunday school room I announced that
I would give my watch to the first
boy who came forward and claimed it.
There was a minute of suspense and
then a boy appeared, but before he
reached the platform be turned back
for fear of being fooled. Another,
named Jean, who took longer to de
cide, came forward and demanded the
watch, and he got It- He had faith."
