Mah Noon Returns to Cit and Blocdshed Is the Result. e 2 Mah Naon, the notorious highbinder who was paroled from San Quentin and later given a pardon by Governor Gage, was the cccasion of two shooting affairs in Chinatown last night. He has been in the city but a few days, and since his arrival has returned to his habits of strife, blackmail and blood, with the re- sult that war between two powerful tongs has been resumed, and the police predict much loss of life before its close. Mal Noen is a Sen Suey Ying high- | binder, and early last night lay in wait for Mah On, the interpreter for the Hop Sing tong. Mah On had been shot by the Sen Suey Ying men about seven months ago near the See Yup head- quarters, but when he recovered the natchet ¢ buried, and it remained for Mah Noon to revive old feeling as soon as the gates of the prison had been opened to him. Mah Noon had a big revolver and intended to finish the work of murder whicr his tong had left undone. HOSTILITIES OPEN. When the Hop Sings learned that Mah Noon was bent on murder several animated discussions regarding his pur- pose occurred on the streets. Then hos- tilities broke out anew, and a few min- utes afterward How Kam Yue, a Sen Suey Ying man, lay on a sidewalk at the corner cf Waverly place and Wash- ington street with a bullet through his neck. Boo Wan Hoey, the Hop Sing man who shot him, ran down to the corner of Kearny and Sacramento streets, where he was captured by Spe- cial Policeman Barney Maloney. The wounded man identified him at the Re- ceiving Hospital. How Kam Yue will recover. Then the Sen Suey Yings, bent on re- venge, started out in search of a Hop Sing man and half an hour after the first shooting Chan Luey was hit by a builet as he was passing in front of 17 Spofford alley. “As In the first case, his injuries were not serious and at the hospital he accused Won Ah Chew, a Sen Suey Ying highbinder, of hiving fired the shot. The latter made his es- cape. SEARCH FOR MAH NOON. Detective George McMahon, Corporal Dan Sylves his squad and Special men George Downey and Gus were on the scenes of both af- fairs soon after they happened. The officers learned the cause of the trouble and until a late hour searched for Mah Noon, but were unable to locate him. Noon is' the man who, on March 30, 1898, shot and killed Lim Sier and seri- ously injured Policeman Pat Tracy., The indictment for the latter crime is still hanging over his head. While serv- ing a term for murder in San Quentin, Henry T. Gage, who was then Governor, acquired a taste for the Mongolian's dainty cooking and, paroling him, took him to his ranch at Downey. On January 6 of the present year, the then Governor granted Mah Noon an absolute pardon, though his crime was e of the most cold-blooded ever com- mitted in Chinatown and his record one of the worst. For the last two weeks Mah Noon been engaged in blackmailing houses throughout the district and was a leading spirit in the trouble between the Wong family and the Sen Suey Yings, which was reently settled. L o e e e e o ) PAEPARES BILL FOR BOND ISSUE Utilities Committee to Submit Ordinance to Supervisors. | The Public Utilities Committee of | the Board of Supervisors yesterday completed the preparation of a pro- poséd ordinance authorizing the issu- | ance of bonds for new schoolhouses, ; | system and other public improvements for which the people voted at the elec- tion held last September. The ordinance will be introduced at ' the meeting of the board to-morrow afternoon and will be preliminary to the institution of a friendly suit by Mayor Schmitz to have the legality of | the issue passed upon by the courts.

They shall be sold under sealed proposals and the Super- | visors shall have the right to reject any and all bids made for the purchase of the bonds. Such bonds when issued may be sold by the Supervisors from | | time to time as required and in nuc‘h’ | quantities as they may determine nec- . usar) Preference in the sale and allott- ment of the bonds will be given to sub- | scribers for the smallest amounts and | lowest denominations, a provision fa- vorable to the small purchaser.’ l The ordinance throughout carrlui out the regulations contained in the charter for the issuance of municipal bonds for public improvements. Not | less than one-fortieth part of the whole | amount of indebtedness shall be pdd1 each year on a day and place to be fixed by the Board of Supervisors, to- | gether with interest on all sums unpaid | at such date. The bonds so issued shall beexempt | from all taxation for municipal pur- | poses and will bear interest at the rate . of 3% per cent per annum.

Saunders of the { ity and County Hospital, parks, séwir steamer Newport returns from his ocean trip he will have to give a rea- sonable explanation for his failure to | appear in Justice of the Peace Law- son’s court yesterday or else pay a fine of $50. Saunders sailed on his vessel yesterday and is now 500 miles out at sea. E This is the second time that Saun- ders has failed to comply with a court order, which accounts for his being fined. On December 10 last he was ! summoned to appear on an order of examination by Judge Lawson regard- ing a default judgment of $260 44 ob- tained against him by Charles Arkell. Saunders did not put in an appearance on that date and as he -did not ap- pear again yesterday on an order to show cause he was adjudged guilty of contempt for disobeying the two or- ders of the court. —_————— California calendars, poppy, poinsettia, nd-oom burnt wood, Fages ete., now on Svulfih Ladies’ Entertainment. ‘ The eighth annual entertainment and | ball under the auspices of the Swedish Ladies’ Society was held last night in Turn Verein Hall on Turk street.

NEXT SUNDAY CALL. DISEREE OVER MAN'S REMOIAL Two Municipal Boards Dispute Regarding Inspector. haia s Gl A The Board of Education yesterday held a conference with Commissioner Herbert Schmitz of the Board of Pub- lilc Works for the purpose of coming to an agreement as to whether Inspec- tor of School Buildings James B. Mc- Sheehy or Assistant Inspector Com- mary shall be removed from his posi- tion under a resolution adopted by the Board of Education at its last meet- ing. By the terms of the resolution the Board of Education requested the Board of Public Works to dismiss the inspector of scheol buildings owing to lack of funds and the consequent lay- ing off of a number of mechanics in the school repair department. The Board of Works refuses to re- move McSheehy, assigning as a reason that McSheehy was appointed from the civil service eligible list and Com- mary was not. It was stated at the conference that the Board of Educa- tion desired to retain Commary be- cause he keeps the books of the de- partment. McSheehy is not a book- keeper and the board declared that a bookXkeeper is absolutely necessary in the repair department. The board further held that an in- spector of school repairs was not re- quired because there was now but three carpenters, two plumbers, two plumbers’ helpers, one tinner, two painters and one locksmith employed on school buildings and these did not require to be watched at their work. The two painters will be laid off to- morrow and there will be but nine men employed in making repairs that are absolutely needed on school buildings. For-that reason the board insisted on the retention of Commary, who is a ‘bookkeeper. Commissioner Schmitz stated that he would report the desire of the Board of Education to the Board of Hitchcock Military School of San Ra- Public Works. It is quite likely that | fael, was the guest of honor at a din- the last named board will proceed to | ner given by a number of his students dismiss McSheehy, but he will at once |at the Occidental Hotel last evening. bring mandamus proceedings to re-|Covers were spread for eighteen and strain it from doing so. the occasion was made one of geheral _— . mirth. —_——— Dinnez to Bev, M.
