Gunmen of the On Leong tong are wondering who gave the tip which resulted last night in an opium raid at No. 61 Bayard Street and the hold- ing under heavy bail to-day of Lee Fong, reputed president of the On Leongs and a man of influence in Chinatown, as well as Lee Sing, a henchman of Lee Fong.

Spectators and attendants ran out of the courtrooms Into the halls. The offices were emptied of clerks, “Where's the bomb?” was the uol- versal query. was no smoke in the wh Oe J yeantitn Simott & oa Fifth Avenue Pers Shop * 16 West 38th St.—store Floor 4 ae Te FOR FRIDAY Unusual Price Reductions ' Men’s Sack Suits FOR MEN AND YOUNG MEN, 32 TO 44 CHEST. button models, of fartan ib Se checked or penal wiged caine fer English tweed, Le mixtures, navy serge or 12.50.
