TONG WAR OUTBREAK FEAR IN BALTIMORE Police Guard Chinese Colony Where New York Refugee Is Hiding for Life nd rallway | i | in ) Dispatch to The Sta BALTIMORE, December 4.—Ly Kue, who fled New York City last week to escape his enemies, has found haven in the heart of the Baltimore Chinese colony, while detectives and police work to prevent a local outbreak of the tong war, which has toll of 14 lives in New York last few months Increased police vigilance in Chinese quarter of the western in the po- augmenting of the force of detectives assigned to rallroad . stations, and other precautions to prevent the spread of the feud to Baltimore are being taken as the result of revela- tlons made by Kue, following his ar- rest in a pawnshop when he at- tempted to buy a pistol. Following the bloody “termination last week of the truce between the warring factions, Kue, who stands high in the councils of the On Leong tong, was “tipped off” by a neutral Celestial that his name was on the death list. Kue heeded the warning, made his way to the statlon under the cloak of darkness and caught the first train to Baltimore, where he was met by his friend, Quong Chow, proprietor of a shop on West Mulberry street. The latter provided him with a room, and here he will remain until the warring tongs are at peace or the brooding fear in the almond eyes, which the stolcism of his race falls to hide, Is calmed. Kue was released after police had verified the truth of his story through Quong Chow that he was buying the jpistol in the bellef that the Hip Sings would follow him to Baltimore and add his name to the death list of the tong war.
