New York Waiter Shot to Death; Newark Laundryman Slain With Hatchet uy y New York, June 5.—(?}—Chinese summers and hatchet men went. into action in four cities today and last night, killing two men and leading Police to fear that widespread Tong warfare might be impending. The first trouble came last night when a group of Chinese, adopting the modern manner of gangland feuds, rode through Chicago's China- town in an effort to put Frank Chin “on the spot.” Chin, a representative of the Chin Oak Tin Tong, was not touched by any of the bullets sprayed from pistols and a machine gun. In Boston seven shots were fired into the headquarters of the Hip Sing ‘Tong early today but again no one ‘was injured. Ha Gong, a waiter, was killed in New York by two men who hid in a doorway near his home outside the bounds of Chinatown. Two revolvers were found near his body. He was a Hip Sing. Scorning the modern methods of killing by gunfire, assailants attacked Eng Sing, a laundryman, in Newark today and left him dead with a hatchet buried in his skull. JUDICIAL DISPUTE IS BEFORE COURT Arguments Heard in Gund son's Effort to Get on Third District Ballot Arguments in the mandamus pro- ceedings brought by O. 8. Gunderson, Christine attorney, to compel the of state to place his name on the ballot as a candidate for dis- trict judge in the third judicial dis- trict, were heard by the North Dakota supreme court this morning. ‘The court instructed attorneys for both sides to file briefs today, with indications that a decision in the case would be . Harold Shaft, assistant attorney general, appeared in behalf of Secre- tary of State Robert Byrne, who has been ordered by the court to show|? cause why Gunderson’s name should not be placed on the ballot. Byrne's contention is that no election exists in the district, and for this reason refused to put Gunderson’s name on the ballot. Gunderson claims that Judge Wil- liam H. Hutchinson of La Moure, ap- pointed by the governor to fill out the unexpired term of the late Judge Wolfe of Wahpeton, can legally serve only until a successor is chosen, or he is reelected at the coming primary election. Gunderson argued in his own be- half. He claimed that important elective offices should be filled by the vote of the people at the earliest oppor- tunity. While it is not expressed in} the constitution, the impression is left that vacancies are provisional, he; said. Gunderson cited a Michigan case holding that while the constitution contains no express verbal restrictions on the power of the legislature to au- thorize the governor to make a per- manent appointment to purely local offices, the principal of local self- government is sodeeply inbedded that no general grant of legislative power can be said to include authority to “take from the people the manage- ment of their local concerns.” Shaft called the attention of the; court to the fact that since 1805 there has been no question in North Dakota as to appointments made by the governor to fill out unexpired terms. He cited an instance where in 1913 an appointment was made by the governor to fill out an unexpired tom of a district judge, without ques- tion being raised as to authority. Other appointments of a similar na- ture have also gone unchallenged since 1895, “he said. “It is generally held,” he told the court, “that officers, whether elected or sppointed to fill a vacancy, will hold for the full period of the unex- pired term, and it is frequently so provided by the constitution or statute.” FORD VISITS HOOVER ‘Washington, June 5.—(?)—After an overnight visit with the President and Mrs. Hoover at the white house Henry Ford left today for Philadel- phia where he is expected to be the guest of Cyrus H.

Officers were sure the gang conflict was by no means ended with its death list of 10 in less than a week. Not one, but two gang wars are under way, as police see it. On the one hand is the battle between fac- tions among Sicilian gang leaders for supremacy in the liquor and extor- tion traffic.

The Graf flew over the city of Seville to an accompaniment of cheers from the inhabitants, who saw her last on May 20th when she left for Pernambuco, Brazil and the United States.

This was the much disputed mea- sure to permit United States com- missioners to handle minor violations of the dry laws without a jury. It was passed by the house late yester- day after heated debate. Three oth- er measures connected with it were approved by the house on Tuesday. This group, by amending the Jones law and the United States code, would define and fix maximum penalties for misdemeanors and authorize an accused person to waive his consti- tutional right of trial by jury. These, too, aroused bitter controverysy. The fourth bill was attacked by the wet bloc and by some dry members as unconstitutional and involving an undesirable change in judicial proce- dure. They attempted to send it back to conference, but failed 225 to 157. It was approved, 218 to 117, with many dry Democrats joining admin- | istration Republicans in voting for} its passage. The bill was amended from the | floor to authorize commissioners to handle petty offenses against all the; federal statutes, to permit a defend- ant to appeal for a jury trial or by a judge, and to fix a limit upon the amount in fees that a commissioner could collect for pleas of not guilty. western hemisphere.
