(ae A CHINESE WAR This One is Raging in the City of Washington, EXCITEMENT IN CHINATOWN Laundry Companies Take Their Controversy Into Court. SERIOUS CHARGES MADE As predicted in The Star several days ago, the action of the grand jury in ignor- ing the Chinese shooting case, in which Moy F. Chew, a 7th street laundryman, was charged with having shot Moy Ah Sing, who does a cut-rate business at 4% street and Missouri avenue, has been followed by trouble in “Chinatown,” and now the mem- bers of the so-called Hop Chung Lung Com- pany, or Chinese union, are retaliating for the alleged wrongs done Moy Chew. This new move was made yesterday, and last night Charlie Bing, who is also known as Ching Binn, and Ah Sing, whose leg was wounded by a pistol shot on the Fourth of July, were taken in custody by the police. They were arrested on magistrates’ war- rants for threats and conspiracy, while Moy |. Foon and Lum Kee Sing, against whom warrants were also issued, were not to be found. They are also members, so it is stated, of the Sam Lee Cut-rate Company. Heretofore only Chinese laundrymen Seemed to have figured directly in this two- sided celestial fight, but now the names of Lee Hong, the banker at 314 Pennsylvania avenue, and Lee, the Chinese merchant, as well as that of Lee Tuck, who is considered above the average Chinaman, are being mentioned in the affair. When the fight was on, about two weeks ago, the members of the Sam Lee Company came boldly to the front and made all the accusations, but when the grand jury failed to favor them with an indictment against Moy Chew they felt somewhat discouraged, while Moy and his friends were elated to the extent that they celebrated what ap- peared to them to be a great victory. Moy Chew’s Indiscretion. Moy Chew was the happiest man in all the crowd, and at the same time he felt that he had a grievance against Ah Sing and his companions. To this feeling he gave vent by using some language which would probably have caused his arrest for a violation of one of the municipal ordi- nances had he been heard by members of the Sam Lee Company instead of by a Star re- porter. All this time the members of the union kept silent. They had nothing much to say, even about the shooting, and when a Star reporter and the detectives visited them they premptly expressed the belief that Moy Ah Sing shot himself. “Moy Ah Sing no likee Moy Chew,” near- ly every one of them said. “He makee trouble for Mey Chew. He shoot himself.” When the grand jury ignored the charge of shooting, the police had hoped that the trouble was at an end, but knowing the Chinamen as they did, they felt certain that there would be more trouble. In this they were not mistaken, for last evening the Hop Chung Lung Company put the machinery of the law in motion. Objects of the Prosecution. Lawyer W. Carroll Smith, who looked after the interests of this company, is in the insane asylum, and Col. W. A. Cook, assisted by a Mr. Monroe, is now looking out for them. Only four warrants were issued last night, but additional ones, it is said, were issued today, and others may follow tomorrow. It is the intention of the Hop Chung Lung people to get the mem- bers of the Sam Lee Company in jail if possible, or drive them from the city, so the latter claim, in order to break up the cheap laundry business. On the other hand, the Hop Chung Lung Company’s members claim that the laun- dry question has nothing to do with the present trouble. They say that the Sam Lee dDcople, or some of them, are highbinders, and claim that most of them lost their queues in prison. Four days ago the mail man delivered to Quong Sung Lung at 314 Pennsylvania ave- nue a letter, which, it ‘s said, was in- terpreted at the Chinese legation yesterday. The letter, so it is claimed, purported to come from the Hip Sing Town Club, com- posed, as it is alleged, of highbinders. Terrible, Grammatically and Other- wine. This letter, which will be used in court when the cases are tried, is. as follows: “Hip Sing Town Club. We are the pow- erful, and we present this to the laundry- men and business people in town and your honorable people what we notice your peo- ple before who is the man to take care of your trouble,who Is the one to gain or lose, who is weakest and who is most powerful. We be satisfied if ycu obey our orders and you will be safe, if you refuse you go down to hell. “We have plenty of people and powerful people in_ the country to carry - things thrcugh.

Moy Chew is a snake, we are a dragon. “Lee Tuck, Lee Hong, Lee Way, care of Quvong Surg Lung, 314 Pa. ave.” This morning there was a large gather- ing of the celestials in Judge Miller's court in anticipation of hearing the trial of the two who were arrested last night, but Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney did not care to hear these cases until the other warrants are served, and so he continued them until Tuesday. In the meantime Lawyer William E. Aughinbaugh, counsel for the Sam Lee Company, promises to have Lum Kee Sing and Moy Foon in ecurt. If, however, the police find them before the time set for the trial of the cases they will be arrested and required to give bond. * In one of the warrants returned to the Police Court today Ah Foon, the tea mer- chant, and Ah Sing are charged with hav- ing threatened the life of Yuen Wong, who lives at 346 Pennsylvania avenue, and another warrant charges the same China- men with conspiracy to defraud Yuen Wong, who alleges that they threatened and endeavored to extort money from ‘him. Moy Foon and Charlie Bing, or Ching Binn, are charged with similar offenses. In this case Ying Lee appears as com- plainant, and he asserts in his aflidavits that he really gave the men $5. 5 Charlie Kee is here from Chicago as in- terpreter for the Hop Chung Lung Com- pany, the New York interpreters having gone home. Claims of Opposing Counsel. Col. Cock, counsel for the Chinamen who have instituted the prosecution, says that before the investigation is concluded a number of additional charges will be made. According to his information, there is a gi- gantic conspiracy among the members of the Sam Lee Company to extort money from other Chinamen. At least five of them, he said, have paid money to these People because of the threats, some paying as high as $20, while others parted with only $5, in addition to a monthly tax of $2. This money, he said, was sald to be for the purposes of the club, when, as a mat- ter of fact, he says there was no bona fide club. Those who refused to pay, he sald, were given to understand that they would meet trouble; that they would suffer per- sonal and business injury, and they would be raided. Lawyer Aughinbaugh, for the Sam Lee Company, claims that there Is no real jus- tification for these arrests. They are simply endeavoring to get the Sam Lee Company out of business. Charlle Bing, the member of this company who was arrested last night, recently bought a laundry on 32d street, Georgetown. This was a cut-rate laundry, and it was there that he was ar- rested last night. Speaking of the fight being made against his clients, Lawyer Aughinbaugh sald that the other company had started several cut- rate laundries about the city to make their side appear better. Police Opinion of the Affair. Thus far there has been no actual vio- lence committed, so far as is known to the police, with the exception of the shoot- ing of Ah Sirg, and this, It 1s thought, is porsibly the result of the vigilance of Licut. Kelly's policemen in “Chinatown.” has also resulted In decreasing the THE OFFICIAL e EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken Isobara or lines of equal WEATHER MAP. 0: fy rare an Sa Y t 8 a.m., 75th meridian time, Solid lines are ir pressure, drawn for each tenth of an inch.

The trouble has also resulted in Increasing the rumber of cut-rate laundries, and the police are satisfied that when the fight ts over there will be fewer Chinanien in the city. “Zhe factional fight.” said an officer this morning, “will certainly end in driving one of the two factions out of the city. It 1s sald that there are seventeen mem- bers of the Sam Lee Company, while the Hep Chung Lung Company and the names of the Chinamen are known to those who beleng to the opposing faction. ‘There ar> now about four hundred China- men in this city, and it is sa‘d that fully one hundred of them have been here less than a year. This city, the Chinamen say, fs a good one for them, and they seem to think that many more will come during the next few months.

AGAINST BANK NOTES], General Master Workman Sovereign Proposes a Boycott. PEOPLE URGED 10 REFUSE THEM A Treasury Opinion That Such Bov- cott Might Prove a Boomerang, ——-—— AND NOT HURT THE BANKS General Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor has issued a. procla- mation fron. headquarters in this city call- ing upon all Knights of Labor, Farmers’ Alliance associations, reform clubs, silver leagues and other organizations to inau- gurate A boycott against national bank netes, commencing September 1, 1895, by refusing to accept them in payment. The proclamation in full is as follows: “Behind the proposition to perpetuate a moretary system in this country based on a single gold standard is a proposition to perpetuate the national banks. In fact, the national banks, in their individual ca- pacity and through the American Bankers’ Association, are the bulwarks of a single gold standard money. They realize that gold alone will not be accepted by the American people as the only circulating raedium, and therefore they demand that the monetary prerogatives of government be farmed out to them, making private in- terests and not the public welfare the only motive for furnishing a paper circulation to meet the requirements of business. “The national banks are responsible for the destruction of the greenbacks, the pay- ment of the bonds in coin, the furding acts, the demonetization of silver, and all the corrupt financial legislation in this country for the past thirty years. They have boycotted and discriminated against every kind of money that promised relief to the debtor class and prosperity to the industrial masses. They. are boycolters of the most cruel and merciless kind. A Boycott Proposed. “Now we propose, through the Knights of Labor, Farmers’ Alliance, people's party and all reform organizations, that a boy- cott be placed on the notes of national banks, and that om and after September 1, 1895, our people be requested and urged to accept no national bank bills in any of the ordinary transactions of business. Nation- al bank notes are legal tender between the national government and the people and be- tween the banks and the government, but not legal tender between individuals. They are not legal tender for private debts, wages or merchandise, nor any of the mul- tifarious transactions that enter into busi- ness intercourse between individuals, and it is generally agreed that if only one per- son in a hundred’ boycotts these notes it will make the work“effective and depreci- ate them, and force the banks inlo a humil- jating defense of their ‘fiat’ money. “A boycott of this kind will agitate the money question, test the sincerity of some doubtful free silver advocates, and stick a dagger into the heart of the money power, in turn for the dagger it has stuck into the hearts of the people. I am not entirely cold-blooded, but believe in meeting the en- |. emy on its own field. It may be argued that*the boycott nerezin proposed will dis- turb business and make money &carcer than it already is, and that during these hard times people ought to accept any kind of money. But let it be remembered that this boycott is against a soulless combine that is responsible for the scarcity of mon- ey, low wages and business depression. To Precipitate a Conflict. “This boycott will precipitate the great conflict, with the people on one side and the banks on the other, ard the issues will be as sharply drawn as in the struggle of Andrew Jackson with the old United States Bank, sixty years ago. It will force the corporations and every form of private monopoly to take sides in the contest. It will force a plutocratic press and a foreign money power to reveal the hidden hand of American politics, and establish an impass- able barrier between the toiling masses of America and the Shylocks and pensioned lords of the world. And if an attempt is made to force national bank notes upon the public, through such channel as they are by law made a legal tender, we will estab- | lish a redemption bureau and through ex- isting laws force the Secretary of the Treasury to unload the locked-up green- backs for the benefit of the people. “The struggle of 186 must result in vic- tery for the common people, or the hope of Americen liberty is lost and recovery im- possible through methods now sanctioned by law. “The campaign must be waged against the combined foe of two continents, against the allied forces of the plutocracy and -tyr- amny throughout the world, and in the light of recent events it must be the most aggressive ard offensive campaign ever waged in this country. We can expect no permanent relief without a struggle, and therefore let us precipitate the conflict in time and on lines that will expose the un- sound money of the sound money advo- cates. This can be most effectively done by a national boycott on the unsound, un- American, unconstitutional notes of the na- tional bank. “On und after September 1, 1895, let every Knight of Labor and ev@ry person whose love of justice is above the sordid interests of the tyrants refuse to accept national bank notes in payment for wages, produce, or in payment of any debt or obligation not made necessary by the limited legal-tender qualities of the notes. “Boycott the notes of national banks!” Signed) J. R. SOVEREIGN, “General Master Workman.’ Might Prove a Boomerang. At the Treasury Department it is said that Mr. Sovereign's plan, if carried out, would prcve more harmful than beneficial to the lator interests of the country, as it would contract the,currency to the extent of $211,000,C00 without injuring the nation- al banks. “It would not hurt the national banks at ali,” said Mr. O. P. Tucker, deputy con- troller of the currency, today. “If people should refvse to receive their notes the banks would simply present them to the United States treasury for redemption and receive legal tender notes, which they would continue to use in their business, The only cffect wculd be to withdraw that much monty from circulation as repre- sented by the amount of notes redeémed. It is true that under the law the acceptance of national bauk notes cannot be enforced and no man can be ccmpelled to take them as legal tender. The fact that they are ac- cepted in every-day transactions is because the government is behind them and stands ready at any moment to redeem them witn legal tender. An effort to discredit nation- al bank notes would therefcre be an at- tempt to depreciate the gcvernment’s cur- rency. There are only $211,000,000 of na- tional bank notes in circulation, while there are $950),000,000 of other kinds of money outstanding. Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKB MCA TEL POUCH TOBACCO.
