CHICAGO, May 3.—Ominous sus- pense hung over Chicago’s Chinatown tonight as internal strife in the ranks of the powerful On Leong and Hip Sing tongs seethed menacingly. A leader’s rumored duplicity had stirred resentment among the former group and political jealousy had divided allegiance among the latter. On Leong Leader Held. Revelation of On Leong discord came with the arrest of Frank Moy, known as the “mayor of Chinatown,” who ap- peared in Police Court to protest the ar- rest of Harry Lee, fellow tongman, only to be put in jail himself when he was | in found to be carrying a pistol. Moy said there was no strife immi- nent between the two tongs, but ad- mitted trouble had arisen within the so- cieties. In his own tong, he said, mem- bers had been swindled out of $30,000 by a former officer who, according to Moy, used his position to make hu countrymen invest. The purportes swindler has been ousted, Moy lddfid and is now in disrepute in the tong. It was he, Moy asserted, who instigated Harry Lee's arrest and the same man, he remarked, might try to create dis- sention in the society. Tong Chieftain Jailed.
