TROUBLE IS FEARED
Killing of Hip Sing Tongman
May Renew Hostilities.
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.

a co-worker with Mrs. Lola Baldwin,
of the Portland Girls' Rescue Home,
has kept the promise she made while
on Coos Bay several months .ago that
she would return unexpectedly and
start a clean-up of men who prey upon
women.
Her campaign opened In the Elk
rooming-house. By a clever ruse she
secured the arrest of Ward Randolph
colored, the proprietor of the house,
and his detention pending his appear
ance before the grand jury at Coqullle
next month.
Randolph had advertised for a house
keeper. Suspecting that the advertise
ment was a cover for something less re
spectable. Mrs. Upton answered It in
person. Learning that Randolph wished
her to engage In an Immoral life and
divide the proceeds with him, she In
formed him that she had a friend who
would be as much interested In his
proposal as she was.
Later in the evening she returned to
the rooming-house with Mrs. R. M

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.

Dr. John H. Boyd, pastor of the

several weeks in Palestine a few years
