Tnt ran, Arrested on Way to China, Bona Fide Traveler. Although feeling still runs high be tween rival tongs In Portland's China town the Chines gunmen were appar ently resting on their arms yesterday. No gun play was attempted aii day and the heavy detail of detectives and pa trolmen ordered by Police Chief Clark to keep close watch on activities at the various tong headquarters found little activity and a great lack of Chinese. Gunmen of the rival tongs, however, are known to be waiting a fitting mo ment to strike when there is little like lihood of the authorities interfering and, as a consequence, tha police will not slacken their vigil. The next move Is expected to come from the Suey Sings, who have lost one of their number as a result of the tong war and who con sider that they must have blood, money or the life of one of their rivals to avenge the wrong. Practically the entire membership of the four tongs Implicated in the pres ent activities the Bing Kung-Bow Leongs, the Hip Sings, the Hop glngs and the Suey Sings have left the city with the exception of some few who have remained in charge of the tong headquarters and the gunmen. A charge of carrying concealed weapons was filed against Tuen Wong, who was arrested by City Detective Snow Monday with two new revolvers and 60 cartridges In his possession. Deputy District Attorney Ryan, who made out the complaint, placed the man's ball at $300. Following an investigation made by Deputy District Attorney Ryan and Federal authorities the three Chinese from Seattle arrested Monday by De tective Swennes and Patrolmen Miller and Wellbrook were released at 4 o'clock in the sfternoon. The three men. Wong Wing, Tom Wah and Ah Lee, vrere found to have not been im plloated in sny way in the tong war. according to Mr. Ryan, and were given their freedom on condition that they leave town. Wong Wing and Tom Wah were discovered to have been born In America, and Ah "Lee was born In China, but is the son of an Amerioan Chinese. C. Tut Fun. arrested for Investiga tion with the tong shooting by Detect ives Price and Mallett, was also released yesterday. Investigation showed that he had been working at the Osborn Hotel, in Eugene, for years, and had come to Portland on his way back to Chins, He had arranged for pass ports about six months ago.
