JEALOUSY CAUSE OF BRUTAL DEED Harry Miller Stamps John Cosgrove to Death After Felling Him With His Fist WOMAN DENIES GUILT Slayer’s Wife Says Husband’s Charges Against Her and His Vietim Are Not True ——— In a fit of drunken jealousy Harry Miller, a saloon-keeper, last night beat an ex-policeman, whom he suspected of being overattentive to his wife. Miller met Cosgrove in front of the former's saloon, 839 Vallejo street, and before the latter could defend himself, knocked him own. Then the enraged husband jumped on the prostrate man and crushed in his face with his heavy boots. Mrs. Miller, who was in the saloon, rushed out, screaming, and Policeman Wilson Special Officer 8.

CHINESE SHOT DOWN ET IN MIDDAY - ON STRE Lem Chung,CdokFalls Victim to Pistol of Assassin. ——ia Murderer Escapes but| Police Now Hold a Suspect. Mysterious Crime May Start New War of Highbinders. Another war of the tongs In Chinatown is likely to result from the murder of Lem Chung, a cook, vesterday, on the sidewalk in front of 807 Jackson street, where he had lived for the past two years. That the murderer meant busi- ness is evidenced by the fact that six of the bullets took effect, four in the back, one in the right breast+and one on the right elbow. The shooting occurred about 12:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and in a few min- utes a crowd of excited Chinese gathered at the scerie. Policemen O’Connor and Carr were among the first to arrive, and they were quickly followed by Detective | George Graham and Sergeant Wllliams. The only persons fouhd who had seen the murderer were a Chinese woman who lives jn the front room, and a saloon- keeper at 810 Jackson street. The woman heard the shots, and, looking out of the window, saw the murderer run west. She said she could not give a description of him. The saloon-keeper also heard the shots, and running out saw Lem Chung stagger into the doorway, and a young Chinese, with a revolver in his hand, run through a vacant lot adjoining the house, which - would lead him into Stockton street. > Lem Chung and three others occupied a room in the rear. One of them, Chin Gim, a cook, who was found asleep, said he was awakened by Lem Chung stagger- ing into the room and falling dead on the floor, face downward. Chin Gim said he had gone back to bed after breakfast, and. that the other three went out. Lem Chung was returning, to the room when he was shot down by the assassin as he reached the entrance to the build- ing. Six emptly cartridges were found on the sidewalk and in the gutter. They are of 32-caliber and belong to an auto- matic revolver, Chin Gim was taken into custody, to be held till he can be questioned by Detec- tive George McMahon this morning. McMahon has the Chinatown detail and is famillar with the varlous tongs. He was off duty yesterday. Chin Gim sald he did not know what tong Lem Ching belonged to, although he admitted that they had occupled the same room for the past two years. Lem Chung’s body was taken to the Morgue by Leputy Coroner Burke. SOLDIER ENDS LIFE IN A WOMAN'S ROOM Corporal Louis F. Martin Shoots Himself in Apart- ment on Barbary Coast. While under the influence of liquor Corporal Louls F. Martin of Company A, Bighth Infantry, blew out his brains last night in a rot occupied by Myrtle Har- bin, a dance 1l woman, at 1014 Kearny street. Thomas Grimes, a Barbary Coast habitue, who was In the room at the time, was placed under arrest and held on the detinue book because of conflicting stories he told of the affair. The woman was not in the room at the time. Miss Harbin declares that Martin had been drinking heavily for several days and that once or twice he had threatened to end her life and his own. She de- clares that he had several times exhibited the revolver with which he had killed himself. Grimes’ story differs from hers in sev- eral particulars. He says that he had been around the Barbary Coast with the dead soldier for several days and was certain that he did not carry a revolver. Grimes also had been under the influence of liquor. He gave his address as-4807 Cherry 'street, Oakland, and said that he had done no work for some time. Martin was to have salled on .the Lo- gan in the morning. He had been in the army for nine years and his military ree- ord was excellent. —————————— GADSKI SCORES TRIUMPH IN HER FAREWELL CONCERT Songbird Is Encored Time and Again by Vast Audience at Tivoll Opera-House. Madame Gadski, the great prima donna, made her final bow to San Fran- cisco yesterday afternoon at the Tivoll Opera-house. The song queen received an ovation. The house was packed to the doors with a fashionable audience. Gadski's programme was one of the best that she has rendered during her series of recitals here. It was varied and contained many of the most pop- ular selections of her repertoire. She recelved many encores and curtain calls and the large crowd was loath to cease its demonstration when. the songbird bowed her farewell from the stage. —_—————————— Accuses Himself of Forgery.

Reed had been drinking and sald oo CHIN GIN =S VICTIM OF BOLD ASSASSIN, AND THE SUSPECT THE POLICE ARE HOLDING, BEAR CREATES “NUCH HOUSE" After Dining on a Flock of Chickens He Proceeds to Give His Master a Beating o+ A young brown bear, full of life and with an appetite that needed no cocktail to whet, was the drawing card yesterday afternoon in a spirited little mixup, which wag not regularly scheduled to come off at the Golden Gate Pouitry Company’s establishment, 314 Clay street. After de- vouring several chickens the healthy young plantigrade started to locate the dessert, when the proprietor of the place butted in and got a coupie or wallops on the Jaw for his trouble. The bear was chained inside the store, cloged for the day, and feit the old moun- tain spirit coming over him. In the ab- sence of bowlders and logs and oak ties he did the best he could by jumping over barrels, scaling chicken coops and hang- ing. on with one paw to tne rafters. He became so strong after a few practice feats of this nature that he managed to spap his chain, and with a back somer- sault and a cry of glee he started on his riotous expedition through the market. The chickens lookéd better to him than anything else lylng around the place, so he started in to toy with a flock of young Plymouth Rocks. It dawned on Bruin that this brand of fowl was about the right thing for a SBunday dinner, so he tried out a few of the youngest and Juictest. LEGHORNS AND YOUNG DUCKS. One after another of the feathered beauties were stowed safely away. The bear soon tired of Plymouth Rocks and switched to White Leghorns, after which he varied the feast with a bunch of young ducks and a game chicken or two, licking his chops all the time and won- dering’ how the feathered flock had lain around the place so long unmolested. So hilarious was the bear that he aroused several policemen in the neigh- -borhood. Svon the water front squad was on the scene, but the bluecoats didn't - want to do any damage by breaking in the front screen work. They stood out- side and beseeched Bruin in pleading- tones to cut the rough work out and take his afternoon nap. But tho beast was not sleepy. He want- ed that dessert and was anxiously look- ing over the field for a few sprightly looking quail or a bunch of honey in the comb, when John Dugan, the boss of the shop, hove in sight, went inside and de- manded an explanation. 4 BEAR LANDS A LEFT. For answer the bear feinted with his right ‘paw.and hooked his boss on the point with the left. Dugan took the count, but came up fighting gamely. This time the bear sidestepped a straight left and brought lis right over on Dugan's jaw. The latter gaw it was beginning to look like the short end of the purse for him, so.he grabbed a friendly club and tore at the bear, who seemed visibly shocked that his master should be guilty of such a breach of the Marquis of Queeneberry rules. : In fact the bear felt so badly over this display of unsportsmanlike conduct that he decided to toss up the sponge. Then Dugan landed right and’left swings to the point with his club and the bear sank slowly to the ground, taking the full | count gradually. ' Dugan had quite a job ahead of him trying to round up all the frightened his wife had deserted him. Dowd took | chickens that had taken to the roof and him to police headquarters and the Oak- | other places of safety during the mixup. land police were notified. Detective Hodgkins came acrossthe bay and Reed told him he had called upon W. Mec- Ilwain, business manager of the Oak- land Herald, last Tuesday and solicited an order for a direct telephone line.

The resolution embodies the view of the league that the troubles in China are not brought about through the attitude of this country toward exclusion, but by overzealdis misstonaries and un- scrupulous merchants. In explaining the stand of the league on the question, Delegate Walter Macarthur sald that the gathering of the United States forces on the’border of China is explained -on the assumption that Ameri- can interests and people in China are en- dangered by the state of feeling attribut- able in ‘some measure to the exclusion act.” Therefore, he adds, by this we are given to undeérstand or to infer that the existing troubles in China are due to the acts of this Government or its peo- ple in declaring for the exclusion of Chinese. EQUAL RIGHT TO MAKE RULES. Macarthur disclaimed personal respon- sibility for trouble and urged the mem- bers, on behalf of the-league, to make like disclaimer. ~He declared that the Americans in China, who have brought about the seemingly approaching rupture should bear the responsibility. He sald that the league should stand for the right of America to make such rulings as it sees fit, and in' return to accord such privilege to China. Macarthur attacked what he called the “missionary element,” which, he claimed, is trying to force the doctrine of Chris- tianity on the followers of the ancient doctrine of Confucius, with the aid of powder and ball. He added that it was time the American péople declared against that policy of proselytism. Macarthir then adverted to the mercan- tile element and referred bitterly to the policy of attempting to force China to take American-made goods. He said that American battleships had no right to bat- ter down the forts of China to make an “open door,” and that if we, as a sover- eign people, reserve for ourselves the right of taking .or rejecting the products of foreign nations, we should, in the fair- ness of liberal precepts, accord to China the privilege of using her own discretion in the acceptance or refection of imports. LEAGUE GAINING GROUND, Macarthur's remarks were succeeded by Delegates Lister and Boland, and the resolutions, with a slight amendment, were unanimously adopted. Captain H. V. Carmichael, for many vears a Shanghal harbor pllot, and during the Chinese-Japanese war acting naval adviser to the court at Peking, then spoke instructively and entertainingly of conditions in China. He also attacked the methods of overzealous missionaries and declared that the number of Chinese converted to Christianity was infinitesi- mal. The report of the executive board stat- ing that the movement of the soclety is spreading, and that active representa- tions are being made to Congress against the modification of the present exclusion laws, was read. —————————— Threatens a Saloon-Keeper. Lewis Bill, saloon-keeper, 112 Berry street, reported to Policeman Michael Bain on Saturday night that a man had threatened to kill him with a knife. Bain arrested Alexander Johnson. a sailor, 63 years of age, who was point- ed out by Bill, and booked him at the City Prison on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. P ——— ADVERTISEMENTS.

Francis M. Larkin, Ph. D, at Grace Methodist Episcopal Church last evening. Dr. Larkin said: That & ‘brutal murder has been committed within our city no one would attempt to deny. The enormity of the crime ls increased by the fact that it follows so soon upon ome of like nature. The sentiments that have been re- ported as coming from some of our pubiic of- ficlals call sfor serious consideration and the arousing of public indignation. The most per- niclous as well as dangerous sentiment in reference to the crime has apparently been accepted by a large number of our law abid- ing citizens. This is of more fmportance to the wglfare of the city than the single mur- der. It is that many people suppose that crime may be legalized. Nothing can be farther from the facts than to suppose that crime may be made legal. That which is recognized to be crime can find no standing in fundamental law, and any statute that would pretend to legalize it would be declared null and void. Yet a man has been murdered within our city under the supervision of the police force, in the name of sport. And it is assumed that no one will be punished, Dbecause the killing occurred according to cer- tain prescribed rules to which all parties con- cerned had agreed. The acceptance of such sentiment reveals a shockingly low condition of moral sentiment and lamentable ignorance. In the first place, crime was not intended to be legalized, nor could it be legalized by State or city statute. Soclety is a moral institu- tion and is never permitted to violate the moral law. The State may do anything but permit crime. LAW IS ADAMANT. No law can make crime permissible, and any law which attempts it will never stand the review of the Supreme Court of the land. At- tempt to legalize theft or arson or any other recognized crime, under any pretense ‘what- éver, and you will soon discover the impossi- bility. AIl contracts involving immorality are null’ and vold. The consent of the parties cannot and does mot legalize them. The law under which the guilty parties of this murder seek to find release does not pretend to permit murder. No ons would be gullty of the folly of attempting to show it. They krow, however, that they were carrying on a prize fight under the assumed name of a boxing match. They knew and know that it was not a boxing match. And when all the partles concerned consented to the prize fight they knew or ought to have known that it was an illegal procedure, and if they did not know, the law says in guch cases, ignoran- 1 neminem excusat—ignorance excuses no one. The fight was prepared and arranged for the “Knock out” of one of the parties. Physicians were on hand to avald the possibllity of death. All the parties knew and ought to have known that murder was a posaibility in the case, and that if it occurred the gullty parties Would not be permitted to escape the penalties of the law. There I8 another party to the crime which has serlous responsibility. It Is the that represents the Mechanics' ‘Institute. and per- mits the property of the institution to be used - for such purposes. INSTITUTE’S POSITION. If, through carelessness or i ce, this tnstitution, which stands for the best in our city, has permitted itself to become an abettor of this Inlquity and to profit by it, that ex- cuse no longer may be accepted by the public The indignation of an aroused public sentiment should arouse the members of the organization and the directors should be enjoined by law from bescoming participators in this brutal sport and crime. And what shall we say of the people who spend their earnings in looking upon this de- grading sport? Do they think that they are guiltless? Far from it. They are abettors of the crime. The contestants and the managers make money out of it, but the onlookers sim- '| ply spend their money and degrade themselves. Tt ought to be possidle for the family of the young man to secure large damages from the Mechanics' Institute, if it can be shown that the agents knew for what purposes the build- g b h:]::: “that those who are respon- 1t is to % sible will leave no stone unturned to bring all the gullty parties to justice, and will make ble effort to secure conviction t of fm! ty of saving the technicalities of the v-rwlf‘muh- of the law, at the sac- of blic welfare. Murder has been rifice of the pul - committed, the bie les are and they should be mun.a"zimm. to the laws of the country.
