LOCAL CHINESE ALARMED Trial of Chin Jung Uln Progresses Rapidly and Prosecution Proba- Will Close . Its . Case Late TnJLs Afternoon. o: Considerable anxiety was Injected Into the murder trial of Chin June; Hln yesterday, when word was received from San Francisco of the alleged mur der of a Hip Bin? tongman, by a' Hop Blngr gunman, earlier In the day. The killing- of the Hip Sine and the alleged breaking: of the peace pact by- the Hop Kings may result in a renewal of the tons war in Portland, according- to Portland Chinese. That the killing: of the Hip Slag is having- an effect on the murder trial now In progress before Circuit Judge Bingham was indicated in the absence of the many Chinese who, up until yes- rday, had been following the trial th close Interest. There were few inese in the courtroom yesterday. and those in attendance said others had remained away through fear of another tons outbreak. Bins; Kuna-a Want Peace. Although the Hip Sings are In no way connected with any of the tong murder trials now pending, they are known to be close friends of the Bins Kunj-Bow Leonga, who were for six months at war with the allied Hop Bings and Suey Sings. It was the alleged killing of a Hop Sing by a Hip Sing which started tons hostilities in Portland shortly after the first of the year, local Chinese say, and the Bins Kungs were drawn Into the warfare because the word was sent out through the other tongs that a Blng Kung had done the killing. In the event the San Francisco kill ing' should start a renewal of the tong war In Portland, the Bins Kungs will not take any part in assisting their friends, the Hip Sings, declared leading members of that tong yesterday. They sen they want to keep out of any ther tonk troubles. Proaecatlon Keartnc Close. The case against Chin Jung Hln progressed rapidly yesterday, and Dep uty District Attorney Collier said last evening that the prosecution would be brought to a close some time today. Thereafter arguments will be heard on a motion fora directed verdict. Efforts were made yesterday . to secure testimony from Tee Guk and Suey Fong. both of whom were con victed of the murder of Chin Hons, but, on advise of their attorney, both refused to testify. It is for complicity in the murder of Chin Hons that Chin Jung Hln. president of the Hop Sing tong, is now being tried. In their motion for a direct verdict attorneys for the defense will endeavor to have the testimony of Wong Wah and Chin Gee Hoy entirely discredited on the grounds that they were accom plices. Both allege to have been gun men In the employ of the Hop and Suey Blng tongs, and It Is upon their tes timony, mainly, that the state is en deavoring to convict Chin Jung Hln of complicity In the murder of Chin Hong. The fact that he is alleged to have taken a leading part in & meeting- at which the murder of" Chin Hong was planned and to have subscribed $504 to the murder fund Is the most dam aging testimony given against the de fendant by the two Chinese defendants.

ARMY ATHLETICS GROW COLLEGES RDOOOXITIOX OP TEAMS REGARDED AS HELP. Ia Fatore It Is Predicted That service Ml Varsity Sports Will Be Cleoery JotaeO, For the first time In the history of college athletics In this country the rank and file of Uncle Sam's fighters have been officially recognized. There has not been much of a hullabaloo by the "Big Ten" athletic coaches and managers over the fact that the Great Lakes football team received official recognition by the University of Illi nois, but It Is predicted that a new era has begun In athletics in this country. In the future. It is declared, the military and naval branches of the service will be linked with college ath letics almost as much as they were in France at the outbreak of the war. The reason given why more service teams were not soheduled at the recent meeting was because of the uncertainty of the permanency of the establish ments. The men of today will not be there next Fall, so there was no possi bility of counting on the games. Had there been the chances are that each university would have scheduled at least one game with the nearest mili tary center. As a matter of fact, some of the colleges had forethought enough to leave open dates for just such an eventuality. The Camp Lewis cantonment at American Lake is a striking illustra tion of what can be accomplished in athletics under a system. Captain "Van Cook, director of . athletics at Camp Lewis, was instrumental in starting football league which furnished some wonderful games and produced some "big league" gridiron material. The Northwest cantonment has not been backward in keeping abreast with times in the athletic world. What the Eastern colleges and universities have done in recognizing service teams may have had its inception on the Pacific Coast, where the Mare Island Marines played, with few exceptions, the best college elevens.
