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. ' " ' ' I "' 1 .

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.
