Jim Wong, a well-to-do Chinese mer chant, was stabbed in the bagk while lie sat eating dinner in his store at 263 Flanders street last night. Other Chi nese declare his assailant was Lum Chong Ying. said to be a gunman and a member of the Suey Sing., and Bow Xung tongs. Jim Wong belongs to the Hip Sing Tong in Portland. Lum Chong "Ting escaped after the stabbing, and the police, fearful that the attack pre sages the opening of a tong war in Portland, are taking every precaution to prevent an outbreak of hostilities. Jim Wong was seriously wounded, but will recover. Other Orientals quickly removed him to 285 Everett etreet, whence he was taken to the Po lice Emergency Hospital.

That he has been active in Chinatown In trying to suppress gambling Is the only motive Jim Wong could offer for the attack on him. He said he knew Lum Chong Ting by reputation only. but recognized him as soon as he came Into his store last night. Wong told the Police that Ting walked up to him with a smile, leaned over the table and asked if he was en Joying his dinner. Wong's reply was scarcely spoken, he said, when the other Celestial shoved a knife between his shoulder blades. Ting bolted out of the door, taking his knife with him, be tore other Chinese could interfere. Tons Fend Feared. . Rumors of bad feeling between the Hip Sings and the Suey Sings have been current . in Portland for some time. Members of the Hip Sing Tong said last night that Lum Chong Ying arrived from San Francisco only a few days ago. They said he was known there chiefly for his connection with the Bow Leung Tong, but Intimated that he Tiad come to Portland at the behest of the Suey Sings.. Sergeant Harms and Officers Wise and Martin, of the "moral squad," scoured Chinatown last night for, Lum Chong Ying, but were unable to locate him. . if t. rV, vc5r "--V- : tVJ k . r." : Wv1:"-'!'-' -. - -' Vv '- - - - - a : w t-, j " 1 i-n F t j h j .fV- ' : -diV' V;- " : Dtllr nUliinTiuL urUli -:ii y ? , -,.: ..v'--z)i&sirzi . - i III -I - Vi " ' v-.V' ''.'f ' J '- 1 . ; J III . - 1,,m-,:;,:tT,,-,1iI,vIiiTiP- i 1 , , iniTi - r , i i . .if. i-firr,. . r. -t ,, i f ii- , ", " T" . ; i, -' f -V III? . - 11A - k.

Rob- rts, and took many automobile tours. Philip and Walker' Kamm were motor ing through the countries and that their paths converged at frequent in tervals was not 'always the- result 'of chance. Upon their return Messrs. Kamm fin- i ished their studies at Amherst, at which time, as luck or Cupid would have it, the Misses Roberts were attending a finishing school near Boston.

SCHOOIi J" ORCHESTRA One of the feature exhibits of the "Made in Oregon" goods at the, Manufacturers and Land Products Show has been the automatic turnstiles, or coin machines used on the main gates at the Exposition. The machines at the Land Show are part of an order of 175 to be used at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco next year and were held here for demonstration purposes at Portland's Exposition.- More than seventy-five of the machines will also be used at San Diego. ' The machines at the main entrance to the Armory will be shipped to San Francisco immedi ately on the close of the Land Show. Already the Portland-made machines are in use at the San Francisco Exposition and were selected over many competitors after a severe test on the rapid handling of crowds, preventing confusion and delay and proving accurate in checking the financial tally of the day's receipts. It is the purpose of the Coin Machine Manufacturing Company of Portland, building the Potter Automatic ' Turnstiles, to place the Portland - made machines with the Portland stamp in expositions, fair and amusement parks over the United States. . i The turnstile does away with ticket selling and all expense incident to the ticket system, eliminates the details of counting ticket stubs and checking tickets. It also prevents errors, over-changing, .short-changing, collusion between ticket seller and ticket taker and besides indi cates. the number of people who have passed through at any given time. The officers of the Coin Machine Manufacturing Company are T. Irving Potter, President; L. E. Kern, Vice-President and Treasurer; H. D. Ramsdell, Secretary, and IL C. AVortman, W. J. Clemens, E.
