All Headquarters of -Chinese Secret Societies Ordered Closed by the Police.

Information Regarding Responsibil ity of Heads of Celestial Organ ization to Be Given to Fed eral Authorities. Headquarters for all Chinese tonga !n Portland were closed yesterday by detectives. In accordance with an order sent out bjr Mayor Albee. The tongs affected and their headquarters are: Hop Sing-, 81 North Fourth street; Hip Blng, 83 4 North Fourth street; Suey Bins, 91 North Fourth street; Suey Sing, 99 North Fourth street, and the Blngr Kung-Bow Leong tong, 246 Oak street. "Close all Chinese meeting- places and hangouts and keep them closed," was the instruction sent yesterday by Mayor Albee to the police as the first step. After issuing the order the Mayor went Into conference with City Attor ney LaRocho in an effort to work up legislation to be presented to the City Council at tomorrow's meeting. The nature of the legislation is being In- vestlgated by Mr. LaRoche, the pur pose being to provide means of closing the tong hangouts and the hiding places of gunmen and tongmen by the use of force if necessary. Mayor Goes to Bat With Tongs. "We are going to handle the situa tion with a firm hand," said the Mayor yesterday. "I merely want to be sure of my ground, from a legal standpoint, before going ahead. I am going to bat with these Chinese murderers Just as strong as the law will permit, and maybe a little stronger. If the law is not lenient enough. "This business of Chinese murdering each other on the streets and endan gering the lives of innocent, citizens , has to stop. "The Chinese previously signed a SO-day peace pact, and at the end of that time signed a permanent- peace pact. There was some question as to the authenticity of the permanent peace pact because of the way its signing up was handled, and I am sorry that the pact as signed appar ently was not In good faith. I feared that at the time, but gave the China men the benefit of the doubt." Mayor Albee has also taken the question up with Federal Government officials. During the last peace ne gotiations the Mayor got statements from some of the tong leaders that the Mayor felt the Government should have. Among them was a statement from a leading tongman that he would guarantee that If the other tongs would sign up for a 30-day peace his tong would guarantee there would be no murders for 30 days. Also the Mayor got statements from certain tong leaders that they could, if they would, stop the murders. Revolvers Found In Beds. Two revolvers were found by de tectives in beds at the headquarters of the Blng Kung tong and one In a bed at the headquarters of the- Hop Sing tong. The latter was taken at the time of the arrest of Lew Ju, who has been in trouble in this city before. This revolver was taken yesterday to George Norcross, at Honeyman Hardware Company, and he thought it had been used within the last 48 hours, which would indicate Lew Jew had knowledge of the shooting last Saturday which the District Attorney would be glad to get noia or. No arrests have been made of the leaders of the Suey Sing and Hop Sing tongs, but It ia probable a grand Jury investigation will result In wholesale indictments in the endeavor to stop the tong wars in this city. Warrants for the leaders of the Hop Sing and Suey Sing tongs were Issued, but raids on tong headquqarters failed to reveal any of the tong leaders. Lee Fong, interpreter, arrested on Flanders street Saturday afternoon and held as a suspect, was released yester day after a thorough investigation of his connection with the case had been made. He was supposed to have been the man who pointed out to the gunmen the victims of their bullets. Attorneys have been secured for the defense of the Chinese charged with murder, and when their cases come to trial It Is expected they will have ample funds with which to put up a strong legal defense.

He has been thrice arrested and convicted for the crime of keeping- opium In. his possession, and his third sentenco was imposed yesterday in Federal Court, ' ' Once the searching- Federal officers discovered Louie's opium cache be neath a door - threshold, where a hid- dn chamber had .baea- carved out. Louie went to jail with the stoicism of his race. Again, on the latest charge, while Inspectors Crewdson and Stevenson, of the United States Customs, were taking- measurements of Louie's room to procure evidence In a case then pend ing, they chanced upon an in nocent teapot of earthen-ware. It was sealed. ' "There's no dust on It," com mented one. - So they turned It over. Out came the bottom with a clever spring device, and, within the teapot were exposed two dozen cards of opium. While Louie languished In the County Jail, the Federal authorities prepared this third case for his future enllvenment. Here is Louie's-Beak's record: In dicted. October 31, 1913. fined 3100 on piea or guilty, indicted May Z7, lsis found guilty by jury, fined 3260 and sent to county lall for three months Though Louie wears diamonds as huge as hazelnuts, he served his time and the fine.

Araroments Presented Before Members' Council of Chamber of Commerce by Representative of Roads Not to apply the proceeds to revenue, but to apply them to necessary Im provement and maintenance expenses. Is the aim of the railroads In regard to the 15 per cent increase In rates that they are asking from the Com merce Commission, according to the speakers at the luncheon of the mem bers' eounoll of the Chamber of Com mereo yesterday. James B, Kerr, eeunsel for the North Bank system, and, V, W, Robinson, traffic manager for the O.-W. It. & N., were the speakers. Mr. Kerr declared ' the railroads would be delighted if the Government would give them an opportunity to realize not more than 4 per cent on their current year, and that they would not even come out clear unless tney were permitted to make a raise In rates corresponding to the rise in every cost in the railroad business. Transportation is the only com modity that has not advanced enor mously In the past few months." said Mr. Robinson, "while the cost of everything entering Into the manufac ture" of transportation has advanced from 15 to 100 per cent. "The railroads are not asking per mission to Increase their rates for revenue, but so that they may have the money with which to meet ex penses which are necessary to the op eration, of the roads. Unless this in crease can. be made they are likely to find themselves 40 per cent short of being able to meet their obligations. or about 33,000,000 short. The programme next Monday will be devoted to . bom Industry talks, and the meeting will be thrown open to the attendance of ladles, as wen as members of the Chamber.
