Various properties that are oc casionally listed with the county realtors association, are to be ap portioned by drawing, at each weekly meeting. The association as such, does not handle real es tate. It has to turn all listments over to some of its agents who are bonded to handle property. The first drawing was held Thursday.- One new application for mem bership was received and turned ever to the membership commit tee. Twenty-one members and guests sat down at the luncheon. DATE FOR MEET IS , SET FOR NOV. 11 (Continued from page 1.) Ifested. The American govern ment has made it plain that it has felt that the nature of the agenda should be outlined in advance of the conference If possible. The foreign representatives here are in consultation with their home offices and are con cerning the subjects to bo brought before the conference. Yap May lUr Solvnl It is possible that the question of Yap may be solved before the conference. It is understood the Japanese ambassador has Indicat ed to Secretary Hughes that he is prepared to proceed with the dis cussion and intimations have been made at the state department that Yap might be eliminated by prior adjustment. Agreement In Sight The difficulty of adjusting the problem, however, is understood to rest largely on a d.'fference ot opinion as to the principles in volved. Japan, it is Bald, would be willing to enter an agreement re garding the cable terminals, but the United States has insisted that the ; question of mandates is in- voloved. Japan has contended that the allocation of the Yap mandate is an accomplished fact and there fore not one for the conference to consider. - More Mandates Loom Tt is ilnriflratnnri thnt ha TTnit- ed States is inclined to regard the discussion of mandates over Pa cific Islands as one that might properly come before the confer ence. Great Britain, France and Italy have Indicated their support of the American contention that the consideration of mandates may properly be taken. up by the powers interested, and have not denied that the United States is entitled to a voice In their allo cation since she was a victor In the war. Japan has insisted that the question of mandates and their : allocation pertains to the league of nations. GAR.

AMERICA HOME OF ;i T0NG, CHINESE SAY - (Continued from page 1.) 'tal'an bad society Camora Mafia. Gun : men. All velly bad, is the Chinese observation. Except in two or three Instances the tongs are the .fighting ma chinery of. various influential and nowprful American-Chinese who use these organizations In promot ing illegal projects. Slave deal Ing .smuggling .opium trading and other practices have at most times been carried on under the protection of the tongs. " Gunmen Carry War. vv hlle there have been two tong outbreaks tn New Yerk in the past 20 years and two or three flare-ups in western Canadian cities.' the real battle ground of the tong guntihter has been and always will be. the Pacific coast. Only when gunmen are 6ent to these faraway.' places with death Instructions to "get" some fleeing Oriental has the avenger's flame been Ignited Tar from Pacific shores. With a very large Chinese colony In London there . has been very little organization work. : However, there are strong so cial bodies traced through Chinese lifs In America that have their history of their origin Imbedded In the Inscrutable story of Old China. Of these societies there are two that far oat-strlp any others in Importance and real strength, SALEM- OREGON CAPITOL STREET Intricacies of Paving Ques tion Afe Discussed at CommerciTI Club At a discussion held at the Commercial dug of those who are putting in their time to raise funds for the club, the paving of north Summer or north Capitol street was brought up. The opinion seemed to ..be that the city could not legally pave a street even if the land owners were willing to donate the right of way provided the city did the paving. Should this opinion be correct, Capitol street stands lit tle chance of being paved com plete unless by election 'the elec tors of the city would be willing to stand the eipense. As to Summer street, should the present remonstrance stand, and property owners not be will ing to have the street modernis ed, there would be little prospect of paving the seven blocks neces sary to connect the present pav ing with Fair Grounds road. As the matter now stands, pros pects are that the valuable prop erty within a few years will be on the street that first connects its paving with that of the paved Fair Grounds road. These are the Masona anG the Six Brothers. Of Chinese masonry there are secrets as yital as thoFe of whit Masonry and as difficult to out line for the greatest good is often implanted in secret rites whose true teachings make for wile- tprcad unselfishness and .h : prog- ' ss of mat kind. Tons; le Pascrrtion " There is one thing knetvr in western police .ic!os which is re peated and it untied by police- nd those in.ert?id in thn cr:m vorld. NVver I. at an infl -ntial Chinese Mas-a r.en a viit.m of a tcng war. A Chinese of good re pute may bo a member of any ong and become a Mason but at that moment his interest in the crinlnal long world iiinst be re pudiated. In a similar sense is this true of the S'x Brothers' Bociety. Several hundred years ago. ac cording to Chinese history, there dwelt in a small village in an iu terior Chinese province, srx brothers. These men were of varied trades, -merchants, cloth workers and farm operators. They Trere sincere students of the mod Confucius nd the condition of turmoil in which their village was kept by the inroads of tribes of robbers who periodically looted the town and levied "protection" I blackmail from the townsman was revolting to them. Brotherhood Beneficial From thi3 organization sprung the Society of the Six Brothers, sworn to protect each other for the mutual good of all. Soon the fx brothers were powerful enough to exact respect from all and to receive the aid of the imperial government in promoting peace and order In the Chinese prov inces. It is estimated that this one Chinese organization now has nearly 125.000 members, all r whom are lineal descendants f the original founders. As with oriental Masonrv so Is tbe S'x Brother clan peaceful in functioning. All of the conferences held Tor restoring peace In ton? outbreaks in this country have been under the annoices of fhis society. Slowly but surely thev are tying the hands of the tones ami weakening their power. local Outbreak Bin Sin. local Chinese, has been warned by Portland friends that his old tong. the Suey Sine. naa marked him tor death. At the same time 30 prominent Portland Chinese have fled to The Dalles and with a hired guard await the outcome or a tone outbreak n Marvsvtlle, Cal. The tronhle in California was precipitated hv one tong member stealing a slave gin irom anotner tong. nut tne real cause of trmihio io that both of these' tongs find their strength ebbinc away. With other t-.ninese. Bin Sin has tired of the blackmail and continual tronhie and has forsaken this clan into which he was Inducted mnnv years ago. It is generally under stood in Salem's Chinatown that m has resumed his old oatn with the Six Brothers league and that this action has been resented by the S'ngs. Rin Sin Has Philosophy While Bin Sin has much re rpect for the Chinese killers he. has much real courage and a nhii osophy to match it . "Me, I ready to dleT Gunman shoot, all gone. I like America ery much. Live here 20 year My wife, my two son. my daugh ter. she In China. I stay here." That the Six Brothers, or Six companies as they are generally known, wilt solve the Pacific coast tong problem is confidently oredicted by those who have fol lowed their activities during re cent years.
