most' powerful Chinese organizations in
Portland.' " Hla mortfer by seven mem
bers of ths King Kong tong, it Is feared,
Will cause an outbreak among the local
rival societies. The least that can be
expected Dy tne rortiana orientals is a
call from Sacramento for reinforcements
from the local lodges.
- . Lee Hoy waa the son of an employe
of the British government now living in
Hongkong, and formerly worked In the
government offices In Sydney. Australia.
He came to Portland when a young man
end studied at the Methodist Chinese
ir.lsslon on suder street, where he was
considered one of the brightest pupils
in the school. He left Portland some 14
yeara ago. He was a Christian and
spoke English perfectly.
Although the Impenetrable veil of
secrecy which surrounds the highbinder
ana secret societies of tne Chinese pre.
vents local cninamen from 'talking, a
representative of the Chinese govern
ment in Portland said he believed that
Lee Hoy had been assassinated because
of his knowledge of criminal acta on
the. part of the Blng Kongs. He fre
quently served as Interpreter in the
American courts and in that way may
have. given away aome of hia country
men's -secrets.
According to this man. the Blng
Konga are a secret society composed,
so far as la known, of prominent Chi
nese'' merchants. They are not known
to have a branch tong In Portland. The
Hop Sing tong - formerly bad a house
on Second street, and waa one of the
moat powerful tongs in the city. . Its
flasa were aeen everywhere and the
cabalistic signs of the order were posted
on all the watia of Chinatown. Of late,
however, it haa given no external aigna
of activity.
Owing to the ract that the murdered i
leader frequently visited in Portland
and that his tong is powerful here, the
reDresentativea of the government are
doing everything in their power to allay
any uneasiness among the Chinese here.
The Poruand tonga have kept out of
trouble for a long while, but recently
there have been a number of San Fran
cisco highbinders visiting In the city
and they are looked upon as trouble-
Dreeoers. -Mrs.

COLONIST RATES WAS ACCIDENT
Union Taciflc Takes Initio Victor ; Smith Says Fink

Is Expected Here.
Colonist rates from the middle west
o the Pacific northwest will again pre
vail this year. Effective from March 1
to April SO, colonist travel will have
rates of ISO from Missouri river terri
tory, I3S.S0 from St. Louis and 133
from Chicago common points. That the
rata thla year, while $5 higher than Inst
year, will have no serious effect in re
ducing the volume of the homeseeker
movement to tne 1'ariric northwest, , is
the belief of men who are engaged in
exploitation work In Oregon.
It had been voted by the Transconti
nental Passenger association to grant no
homeaeeker ratea for thla 'year. The
low rates of previous colonist seasons
were oDDOsea Dy tne eaatern lines, in an
effort to retaliate against the public for
two-cent fare laws. The-' issue- was
forced by the Union Pacific system,
which yesterday signed Individual no

the shooting, differs -very materially
from the flrat story given out by the
Fink girl's mother.
His companion Mosler tells the same
story. . In affect, it Is that the Fink
dog waa a vicious animal and waa
nuisance to all the neighbors. Mosier
and Smith were passing the Fink home

Smith had a rifle with him and fired
at the , dog, the bullet glancing and
striking the girl. The fact that the
gun 4s of 25-36 caliber and that a bul

go tnrougn several men. whereas thla

confirm this theory of the Case. Smith's

"There will be an Immense influx of
homeseekers on the new rates,'' saia
Tom Richardson, manager of the Port
land Commercial club. "It Is no use to
object to this advance of the rate, for
we can do no good at this time. The
rate, is made, and it is a low one, and
will do the business.
All we have to do to Insure results
that we deslrvis to work a little harder
to get the people started rrom tne mid

bodies of the state should redouble
their efforts' and increase their adver
tising and letter-writing."
Secretary K. c. uiitner or tne fort-
land chamber of commerce waa of the
opinion that the Increased rate would
do no serious damage to the movement.
He aald:
.."Oregon Is bound to get the home-seekers,-
and the railroads can't prevent
it. While I think the rate was high
enough laat year, the Increase of 15 will
not stop the people in the .middle west

"Oregon, Land of Opportunity," and are
still being besieged from all aides tor

I am convinced that we should this

Ghosts of former battles for the
United 8tates senatorshtp, stories of
former political Intrigues, threats ot
Indictment and ' prosecution if po
litical leaders did not do the bidding
of John H. Hall, and possibly the
state's evidence of W. W. Stelwer,
these are some of the sensations In
timated' by the opening statement of
Francis J. Heney In the Hall land
fencing conspiracy case made this
morning.
Heney in outlining what the govern
ment will attempt to prove says that the
government will show that Hall worked
in the . intereata of John H. .Mitch

ate, and at a later date for Senator Ful
ton. In order to secure the votes of
Stelwer and others for Mltchell-and
Fulton ha threatened Stelwer with pros
ecution for fencing lands . unless "hs
voted for Mitchell and Fulton, and that
he also took the same course with
George C. Brownell, then president of
the senate.
Later, so Heney says. It will be shown
that Hall threatened Brownell with in
dictment unleaa he kept out of the race
for Jistrict attorney, and that he went
runner ana while in Washington threat
ened Mitchell, Hermann and Williamson

him for . reappointment to the office
which he was at that time holding.

In order to prove these charges It is
have to get out of the country or be
allowed to use the open range thus
fenced up. These men, and others.
Heney contended, kept at Hall and Mays
without result until they took the ques
tion up with Secretary Hitchcock In
1904, when Hall, forced by. Special
Agent Dixon, began a civil action to
force the conspirators to take down the
fencea. .,..,..
During the time, Heney 'said," Hall
had pretended to take action but hud
dons nothing definite so that no relief
was given. The reason for thla lack;
Of effort, Heney said, the government
would ahow, was the desire of Hall
to be reappointed to office. Stelwer
was then a state Senator and Mitchell
was a candidate for tha United States '
senate. -" . - ' . ... ;

when Hall mads his threats- and Stel
