- LJ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1978, TONGMAN IS HELD IN GHINESE DEATHS On Leong Member to Face Grand Jury in War Among Capital Orientals. Victim and Accused Prosalc Occidental justice today pro- Z2acted itself into the dramatic Oriental werigue that saw two men shot $0 death and wwo more wounded in the headquarters of the Hip Sing Tong, | 325 Pennsylvania avenue, late Sunday | afternoon, a coroner’s jury sitting at | the morgue, holding for the grand jury Lee Loi, 25-year-old member of the ©On Leong Tong, as one of the gunmen responsible for the killing. With his dying breath, Joe Fook Tung, one of the victims, had accused Loi; the latter had 'set up an alibi, declaring that at the time of the shoot- ing he was in a stronghold of the On , Leongs, ancient enemies of the Hip Sings, at 318 Pennsylvania avenue. Today Chang Lung, member of the Hip Sings, who operates a laundry at 136 D street southwest, appeared at the inquest and positively identified Loi, as one of the gunmen, he placed at three in number, who entered the Hip Sing headquarters, where a store is operated, blazed away at the occupants, and hurriedly disappeared.. -Chang Lung picked Loi out from a crowd of Chinese who were present at the in- quest today. He said he saw Lot fire two shots. Lung walked through the erowd of Chinese in the courtroom in an unsuccessful effort to identify a sec- ond member of the trio. His testimony was given through an ¥nterpreter, Frank Quan of Wardman Park Hotel. Lung said he had been to a moving picture show Sunday after- noon and that he went to the Hip Sing Tong headquarters about three minutes before the shooting. He said he was standing at the counter making a pur- chase when the gunmen walked in. Eager to Give Version. Lung appeared almost eager to give his version of the shooting, in decided contrast to nearly all of the other Chinese interviewed by police, who have stolidly maintained that they know nothing of the cause for the shooting and could not recognize any of the three men. Lol heard the tes- nmoved. ull:‘l:un{ uEdwlrd J. Kelly of detective headquarters, head of the homicide squad, was called to the stand as the gecond witness and Yold the jury that a Chinese named Lee Fong, Who was in the rear of the store, had told him that another member of the invading party was known as Lee l"lrk. He said he did not recognize Lol. Lieut. Kelly said that police had been unable to find Park, who is still sought. Joe Yuke Poy, 22-year-old son of Joe Fook Tung, told Lieut. Kelly that he saw Lel and three other Chinese leave 317 Pennsylvania avenue a few minutes before his father was slain. Policeman R. J. Frazier of the sixth ecinct testified that Lee Chong, 125 ifteenth street southeast, the second victim, made a statement to him just before he died, in Casualty Hospital, to the effect that he also recognized Lee Park as one of the three gunmen. The officer quoted him as saying that Park had a revolver in each hand and fired half a dozen shots. Fragier, who was the first person to enter the buildin: after the shooting, said one of the de: men was lying in front of the door and that the other, fatally wounded, was in a rear room. Lee Yen Deoo, 1216 Thirteenth street, one of those wounded, was sitting on 2 barrel, while the other, Lee Ong, 324 Pennsylvania avenue, was walking up and down the room with his hana clasped over a bullet wound in his Jeg. Deoo is now in Casualty Hospital suffering from a bullet wound in the ggm hip, while Ong is in Emergency ospital. Several other witnesses who had been summoned by the district attorney were present, but did not testify. About 25 ‘members of the Hip Sing Tong attend- ed the hearing, but no representative of the On Leong Tong was in the Toom. re] ted by Attorney Charles W. ur, while James O'Shea appeared in behalf of relatives of the dead men. Heavily barred doors and windows throughout the Capital's “Chinatown” today gave witness to the tension still prevailing there as the result of the &hooting. Nor was the terror among the city's Oriental population confined to those living along lower Pennsylvania avenue, Chinese oother parts of the city asking the police to give particular attention to their places and, in some instances, deserting these entirely as they sought seclusion elsewhere. Meanwhile the police investigation, proceeded with their belief strengthened that the men shot were innocent by- standers who received the bullets meant for Hip Sing leaders, three of whom were in the establishment when the gunmen entered with blazing pistols, then disappeared as quickly as they came, after discharging their lethal Two Marked for Death. ‘The ‘ug];osmon that it was Hip Sing leaders who were sought is partly borne out, police think, by information that two of the local On Leong tong chiefs— Charlie Moy, the president, and George ‘Wen, secretary—have been marked for death by enemy tongmen, and, in the case of Wen, Kelly has learned a price of $5,000 has been put on his head. ically, then, police investigators d, Hip Sing leaders likely have been marked by the other side, for although there is nothing to prove this, killings in other parts of the country have sig- nalized the end of the Hip Sing- On Leong truce and the outbreak here is simply viewed as a part of the na- . tional “war.” ‘The Sunday evening incident already has proved costly to Moy, from whom $1,500 was stolen while he was being held by the police that night for ques- tioning, during the general round-up of On Leong members. Moy lives at 318 Pennsylvania avenue, and the money was removed from a drawer there, the police not giving him time to look after his property before he was taken away, he says. Moy declares the doors were open, and is inclined to blame the disappearance of the money on a fellow countryman. One of the three suspects held in connection with the shootings has been released. He is Shick Lee, a laundry- man, residing in the 1200 block of H street northeast. Lai Yee 1s another suspect held, but police have established no connection with the case which he is concerned. Son Assists Police. Tt developed last night that one of the jslain men, whose name first was given as Lee Jing Jee, was Joe Fook Tung, a laundryman who has been in business here for several years. at Ninth and East Capitol streets and later at 913 East Capitol. He was a member of the Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal Sunday school and associates there, led by Samuel W. Cockrell, the superintendent, spoke in high terms of him. The other dead man. called Lee Sue, also was known s Lee Thong. He also was a laundryman. The 7act that Tung and the others shot pelong to no tong so far as is known is another reason for the police belief that they just “got in the way” when the shooting started. They were in the store making pur- chases at the time, but Charley Lee Wah, maintaining establishments in an Upper: Joe Fook Tung, slain by Chi- nese gunmen Sunday evening, and (lower), Lee Loi, held for the grand jury today by the coroner’s jury in con- nection with the killings. the rear of the store. It is believed it was these who were hunted. Chief of Detectives Pratt visited Ong | at Emergency Hospital yesterday, and obtained from him information that Ong believed he could identify those in the gunmen’s party. At the same time, Pratt, irked because of repeated contradictions that have de- veloped during the investigation, an- nounced that he intended to bring all those who might have any knowledge of the shooting before the grand jury, to get their sworn testimony, using this weapon as a means to get the truth in the case. PITTSBURGH CHINESE GUARDED. Detectives Link Laundry Shooting With Tong War Killings. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, October 16.—Pitts- burgh’s Chinatown was guarded by detectives tonight as the result of the shooting of Yee Foo, 35, a laundryman. Foo was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital, suffering from a bullet wound in his hip. Yee Foo's. assailant who was being sought . was believed to have been wounded as the two exchanged shots in the former's place of business. Detec- tives believe the shooting was linked with tong war activities which flared yesterday in Washington, New York and Chicago, with a toll of four lives. Detectives today arrested John Wing, New York, who said he was visiting here. He unarmed. He was held without bail. Meanwhile Chinatown asked police protection, leaders of both the Hip Sings and the Onleongs appealing. CHICAGO STREETS PATROLLED. Oriental Area Guarded and Several Armed Suspects Are Arrested. CHICAGO, October 16 (#).—Chinese tong warfare which broke out Sunday in five cities was blamed by the police last night for the slaying of two Chi- m Chinese and the wounding of a Police squads patrolled Chinatown, where the rival tongs. On Leongs and Hip Sings, have their headquarters, and other policemen were on watch at all railroad stations with orders to arrest on suspicion any incoming Chinese, in he hope that slayers of tong members in other cities might be caught in the general round-up. A Hip Sing adherent was shot to death by two Chinese Jast night as he sat in a taxicab in the Chinese quarter, Leong member, wounded him. A white waitress and a chef were slightly wounded. Today the body of Jung Bue, On Leong member, was found in a West Madison street laundry with two bullets through his body and pistol nearby. ‘The police blamed his death on the ‘Tong warfare, but an assistant coroner advanced a theory that he may have killed himself after he learned Bue had suffered financial reverses. One Chinese claiming to be a cousin of Frank Moy, known as the “Mayor of Chinatown” was arrested when he was found entering a Chinese restaur- ant with a loaded pistol. He said he belonged to the On Leong Tong and was carrying the weapon for protection. Six Chinese also were arrested in a rald on a store in the Chinese district from which the two men who shot and killed Eng Pak emerged last night. One of the men was armed and the g:)llce found two other pistols in the The powerful On Leong Tong to which most of Chicago’s 8,000 Chinese belong is located at Wentworth ave- nue and Twenty-second street and a block distant is the headquarters of the Hip Sings.

MYSTERY MAN HELD AFTER BEING NAMED Pueblo, Colo., Police Say Russell Nelson Is Victim of Queer Mental Twist By the Assoclated Press. PUEBLO, Colo., October 16.—Police officers today said they had definitely identified Pueblo’s “mystery man” as Russell Wilson of Newmarket, Ontarlo, and branded his tale of war experiences as_a product of imagination. e The authorities said they had satis- fled themselves that Wilson has been the victim of a “peculiar mental twist” for many years and he actually thought himself to be his cousin, Harry Deviin of Toronto, Ontario, who was reported killed in action in France in 1916. Wilson will be kept at the county jail here until he has fully recovered from the effects of an attack on him by robbers a week ago, after which he was found unconscious by the police. At a hospital the victim told the police of his belief that he was Harry Devlin and that the shock of a blow on the head had restored his memory. Relatives of Wilson in Canada are sure of his identity, the police said. The authorities have been advised by Mrs. Samuel Devlin, mother of Harry Devlin, that she belleves the man is th:w Russell Wilson whom she knew as a boy.

Officials of the Chevy Chase Dairy today again denied reports that the dairy had been sold to interests out- side of Washington, despite a suit filed in the District Supreme Court by F. Larmour Oyster, manager of the milk hottle exchange at 460 K street, to re- cover $22,500 from Joseph A. Wise for what he describes as one-half a com- mission of $45,000 for effecting a sale of the Wise stock for $900,000. Charles Bowman of Baltimore, owner of the be | Western Maryland and other dairies there, was described as the buyer. Through Attorney May T. Biglow, Oyster says that in conjunction with A. M. Reid of Baltimore he was em- ployed to sell Wise’s holdings in the loc# dairy October 10, 1927. Wise, he says, owned all the stock of the com- pany with the exception of qualifying shares. Early in the Spring, Oyster tells the court, the sale was effected and although Reid’s claim had been settled, no payment has been made to m.

The resignations of the bishops of Connecticut, Lexington, Ky., Albany and Southern Brazil were accepted. { The House received a memorial from the Daughters of the King asking that a challenging call be issued to the women of the church for active evangeiical work. China’s Status Discussed. China is suffering from banditry, i opium, ignorance, political corruption, | militarism and revolution, Right Rev. an H. Roots, missionary Bishop of Hankow, told the mass meeting of the missionary department at the Washing- ton Auditorium last night. “Political revolution,” he said, “is overturning 2,000 years of imperialistic tradition, and there is social revolution in which the wildest theories meet the age-long conservatism of the Chinese and the confusing, even though con- structive, theories of the moderates. Educational revolution has radically al- tered both the subject matter and man- ner and spirit of study. Moral revolu- tion is affecting especially the family and the position of women, the strong- holds of conservative China. The Chi- nese find themselves incurably religious, like the rest of mankind, but radically dissatisfied with their traditional Con- fucianism, Buddhaism and Taoism. “China suffers also from disruptive | propaganda, prompting class war—the | union of the peasants and the workers aiming at the dictatorship of the prole- tariat, promoting atheistic and material- istic communism. Praise for Sun Yat-Sen. “There are constructive forces in China. Sun Yat-Sen and his writings, | although disruptive in some aspects of their influence, and lending them- selves to destructive perversion, are fundamentally opposed to the disrup- tive propaganda.

We bespeak the great power of the church in a positive educational program in preparation for the building of Christian homes.” ‘The Episcopalian Church should raise $1,000.000 toward the $6,000,000 campaign of the Near East Relief, Rev. Dr. William E. Emhart, secretary of the committee on ecclesiastical relations, told a dinner meeting of that group last night at which Bishop Frederick M. Reese presided. Russia’s Attitude Better. Dr. James M. Barton. chairman of national executive board of the Near East Relief, told the committee that the attitude of Russia toward the Near East Relief is becoming more tol- erant, and has invited it to remain in the country instead of allowing it there only on sufferance. Dr. Barton gave a resume of the educational work of the Near East Relief. John R. Vorhis, associate general secretary, ‘told of efforts to give the children religious education by methods based on modern psychology and peda- E;gy and developed in forms approved the heads of the Armenian and Greek communities.

The church has a splendid oppor- tunity in the clnnglngp order olnpl‘:(e in the West, said Right Rev. Middleton S. Barnwell, missionary Bishop of Idaho. “The whole country today is new,” he said. “Life is yet in a formative stage. The habits of thought of new communities are being formed. It re- mains for us to say how they shall be shaped. For the church to fail to build itself into the lives of communi- ties while they are yet new will mean that Godless communities will arise. But we have a chance, if we will ac- cept it, to cause cities to arise whose builder and maker will be God.” A stirring appeal for more mission- ary endeavor in the colleges was made before the joint session of the conven- Emli y(e)slmerdly nflternogn by Rev. C. eslie’ Glenn, secretary for colle of the National Cou:{cn‘ T Sees Need of Missions. “The number of college students,” he said, “has increased five times since 1900, and there are more students in the colleges today than there were in the high schools 10 years ago. Many of the colleges designedly are neutral in religious tone. If we depend on higher education alone to make boys and girls Christians we are going o be disappointed. They usually quit the church when they go to college and never come back until they bring their ?vén children to Sunday school, years ater.” Social work among college students in an effort to keep them in touch with the church means wasted money, Mr. Glenn said, since the colleges themselves provide them with all they want. He urged that more student pastors be appointed with’ small churches just off the campuses. “The idealistic age,” he said, “is from 18 to 22. The most popular figure in the student world of today is that of St. Francis. The students demand a humanizing church.” Local Jails Criticized. “The local jail still is the breeding place of criminals and the forgotten plague spot of the nation,” the conven- tion was informed yesterday in the ra- port of its department of Christian so- clal service. “Prison reforms,” the re- port continued, “are concerned witn penitentiaries where long-term prison- ers are confined and now with the local jail, where they get their introduction and training in a life of crime. Into the local jail comes the first offender, the material witness held without bond, the hardened criminal and the criminally insane. Herded together day after day, cut off from society and dependent on each other for fellowship, they become welded together into a solid group—the criminal class. A noted penologist re- ports that at least 50 per cent of first offenders become habitual criminals. “There are more than a million peo- ple confined at any one time in our county and city jails. One person in every hundred of our population stays for a longer or shorter time in the lock- up, and carries away from his sojourn there the marks of his experience. Here is a vast field of work with few workers. Every criminal made by one jail in an obscure community is a menace to every citizen of every community.” ‘Work in Almshouses. The department also urged upon the church more work in the almshouses where are sheltered a forlorn group of “broken laborers, deserted widows, cripples, unable longer even to beg. ‘Pcpnnnot we consider this forlorn place as a part of every parish?” the Teport asks. T¢ wgnid be & simple clergymen. ‘The mass meeting of the American Church Institute for Negroes at D. A. R. Hall tonight will be featured by a program of spirituals and plantation songs by a quintet from the church schools. Rev. Robert W. Patton will present the report of the institute’s work.

OFFICIALS START | MOVE TO GIVE D. C. WATER TO SUBURBS ___(Continued from First Page.) | Summer. The capacity of this plant, in the neighborhood of 3,000,000 gal- | lons per day, is augmented during time | of neak load by the operation of a filter xl;l:rnt and pumping station at Takoma k. “This station at Takoma Park is the old station originally used by the town and kept ready for operation by the commission in emergencies. The com- mission also keeps in readiness for cmergencies the plant originally con- structed for the town of Mount Rainier, Plans New Plant. “The commission is about to construct & new reservoir, pumping station and filtration plant at a point on the North- west Branch, generally known as North- west Mill. The estimated capacity of the proposed plant is around 11,000,000 and the estimated time of completion is about two to three years from this Fall. Pending the completion of this plant and even after completion, for reserve and emergency purposes, and in order to abandon and dismantle the auxiliary plants located at Takoma Park and Mount Rainier, the commis- sion desires to make several connections with the water systsm of the District of Columbia under the provision of the act of Cognress with which you are familiar.” One of the questions remaining to be ‘worked out is the rate to be chmFgod by the District for the water sent across the line. Itis belleved that not more than 500 feet of main would have to he Inid 1 make the connections asked for. Congress more than 10 years ago au- thorized the District to furnish water to these adjacent and raoidly growing Maryland communities. District water already is being sunpli€d to suburban communities in nearby Virginia. LAUREL ENTRIES FOR TOMORROW. CE—Purse. $) 2-year-olds ster. 115 First 115 300: macden seiy 2 furloaxs.
