Bonds of $22,000 from the warring
tongs and bonds totaling as much
more from the otfier tongs have been
proposed as one way of maintaining
peace among the local Chinese soci
eties. This proposal came from the
Bing Kung-Bow Leong tong. It has
not been accepted by the Hip Sing
ton ft., ,
The recent war between the Bing
Krhg-Bow Leong and the Hip Sing
tongs, still unsettled, had its incep
tion last October in Butte, Mont.,
when the president of the Bings was
killed. The Bing Rungs in California
were busy with two other tongs at
the time and waited to wind up their
affair with them before turning at
tention to the Hips. Having the decks
cleared for action the Bings started
Out- to even the score. Since then
there have been killings and shoot
ings in Seattle, Denver, Chicago,
Portland and in a town or two in
California.
Peace Move Made.
Efforts have been under way re
cently to stop further bloodshed in
Portland. The Hip Sings have ex
pressed a readiness to sign a peace
pact snc1 affix the seal of the lodge.
The bing' Kung-Bow Leong- tong does
not consider, the signatures and the
seal sufficiently binding, for should
outside gunmen come here and shoot
up the town the signers of the pact
would explain that they have no con
trol over outsiders.
Members of the Birig Kung-Bow
Leong believe that the best way to
maintain peace is to make it expen
sive financially for those breaking
it. The Bings propose that the war
ring tons, meaning the Hips and the
fcings. each put up a cash bond of
$10,000 as a guarantee that they will
keep the peace, and in the event of
rostilities that the money shall be
forfeited and paid over to the fam
ilies of the victims.
Further Bonds Proposed.
As a further means of preventing
bloodshed the Bings suggested that
the two warring tongs and all the
other tongs, the family tongs in
cluded, shall deposit $2000 each, this
money to be kept as a fund to assisl
in the prosecution of the ton which
breaks the peace pact. The tongs
other than those in the war are thus
made financially interested in seeing
that peace is preserved.
Hip Sings object, it was said, be
cause of the large sum involved, but
the Bings reply that $12;000 can be
raised more easily by the Hip Sings
than by the Bing Kung-Bow Leongs,
as the Hips have a larger member
ship and are scattered all over the
county, so that an assessment of a
few dollars each would raise the
necessary sum.
This bond arrangement is intended
to apply only in Portland. What hap
pens in other towns does not so
vitally concern the local tongmen.

DAYLIGHT SAVING IS HIT
COOCILME.V SEE3I TO DIS
FAVOR PROPOSAL.
Mayor- Baker Says People Should
Have Hearing - Regarding Plan
: to Change Hours. 1 "
It appears that proponents of day
light saving in Portland will have
to adjust their hours without any
aid from the city fathers.
' The question was brought before
the city council yesterday and final
consideration was delayed until next
Wednesday.' But sufficient comment
was made by the members of the
council to show that no daylight sav
ing legislation will be enacted unless
the public of Portland shows a real
demand for a change. -"
Communications signed by the di
rectors of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce and by the Portland Clear
ing House advocating daylight saving
were read.
The bankers maintain the differ
ence of four hours in time between
Portland and Ne,w i York is causing
inconvenience in exchange and urge
daylight saving in Portland as the
remedy.
"Let the banks open an hour earlier
if they want to," suggested City Com
missioner Barbur, who pointed out
that he -never could., see any sense
in the daylight saving plan.
Commissioner Bigelow said he
favored the plan, but other members
of the council held that he wanted
more time in which to fish trout.
Mayor Baker explained that he did
not think it was fair to Inconvenience
a large group of people without giv
ing them an opportunity to be heard.
He submitted a letter signed by the
employes of Lang & Co., wholesale
grocers, in which the employes op
posed the daylight saving plan. They
pointed out that ' to arrive at . work
at 7 o'clock, many of them were re
quired to arise at 5 o'clock and with
daylight saving it would be 4 o'clock
when the alarm clock would disturb
their slumbers.
DEATH THREAT DENIED
Father Says He Was Only Trying
to Make Sons Go to Work. .
. After driving his wife and a daugh
ter out of their home at midnight,
,clad only in. .their nightclothes,
George Stasi, a fruit peddler living at
192 Grover street, was arrested by
Deputy Constables. Watkins and Dru
hot Tuesday night and lodged in the
county jail on a charge of threaten
ing to kill his wife and seven, chil
dren. '
Stasi contended that he was having
trouble with his family because the
two' oldest boys refused to work and
the mother took their part. He was
in debt about J1000 and had tried to
frighten, his children into going to
work, he explained, denying that he
had threatened the life of any of his
family.
