Sam Lock. President of tha Four Broth-era Company, to which Chu On belongs, Uscussed the shooting with true Celeatlal philosophy. "Chu On did wrong," ha said. "He knew he mustn't go on Mott Street. He knew ha would get shot.

He went there a few daya ago. He got a warning. But he aid not need a warning. He knew they would shoot him. I heard Just after he went to-day that ba wa prone.

I sent a Ipbby-gow to get him and bring him back. The lobby-gow waa lut a minute too late. ahootlng to-day means nothing Haw. There la no new quarrel between tha On Leong and the Kour Brother. It'a lust the ruin.

On Lnna Irun Aff Pell Street, or get ahot; Four Brother keep off Mott Sweet or get hot There' nothing pew alnce last month. All Chinamen In Chinatown understand. But Chu On waa a UtUe light in the head. He did not think straight. He forgot what ha knew about the rule.

He waa careless. He thought tnat because ha had been away, nobody would remember him, and he could do as he liked. That's why I think he wa a little bit what you call crazy." Tha shooting broke up a party of Chinese school children who were celebrating a festival In the l'ort Arthur-Tea House. The Rev. Father Ernest Copno.

rector or tha Roman Catholic Church of the -rransnguration in Mott Btreet. had Just finished a sermon, admonishing the children and their parents against the evils of run fighting snd factional hate, when the shots ranr out.

Ha said later at the station house that he believed that hla presence near Chu On two daya aro on Mott Hlreet was all that saved the Four Brothers man life at that time.

The newa that the Tong war had broken out again brought Deputy Police Com-mlssloner Klrby to Chinatown in his police automobile with a party of Headquarter detectives. The reserve were called out and tha block on Mott Btreet where the ahootlng took place waa cam- lately surrounded and a search made rough all the rooms to find the other rnan or men who had been Implicated. Tha search waa fruitless. aspect Caa Oa at Harder. Capt.

Hodgins said at tha station house that he had been Informed that Chu On waa one of three who had been mentioned in Chinatown gossip aajiavlng had something to do with the killing of Ah Hoon. the Chinese actor, who waa ah it down three yeara ago.

Further trouble waa forecasted vester-day evening when one of the well-Vnown white women in Chinatown who lives In the On Leong territory came up to 8ori. Howe when he waa talking with reporters and said: Thert'll be some more shooting ar-und here If Queenie doesn't com back from Pell Street.

Amsterdam Avenue storekeepers near Eightieth 8treet have been complaining of being victimised by two very amen but very audacious girl thieves. The girls are only apparently about 12 yeara old. and even then they are so stunted that their beada hardly can be aeea above the counter of tha average atora. On of the glrla has eheanut colored hair and wears a blue polka dot dress; th other has black hair and wears a plaid gingham dress.

Both have hard voices, according to the shopkeepers who have been victimised, and their accent can only be described as unusually tough." If the two little girls had ehoaen to operate along the White Light section Of Broadway they would probably have been arrested long ago. But up around Amsterdam Avenue and Eightieth Street the shopkeepers do business in milder and more contemplative ways. Although the little girls have sucoeeded in making several thefts and have been stopped In the act of stealing several other things, aad although they are seen walking up an! down along Amsterdam Avenue looking into the stores almost every day. they have never yet been arrested. We know they are going to take something off our counters as soon aa our backs are turned," said one of the shopkeeper plaintively yesterday.

And we know that they have taken many thinga already. But when we catch them taking things, they have always- thrown the things away. We don't like to have them arrested unless the stolen thinga are actually In their hands. The people of this neighborhood are conservative, we like to be quite sure of everything before we do it. Suppose, after we had had the glrla arrested, the police Magistrate didn believe our story.

How embarrassing that would be." The girls, according to the shopkeepers, first appeared three Sundays ago. They walked right Into P. J. Hackett's drug store at Seventy-eighth Street and Amsterdam Avenue, and took the poor box which Mr. Hackett had allowed the Salvation Army to put up there.

It waa particularly embarrassing to me," said Mr. Hackett yesterday. Some member of the Salvation Army might think I had taken the box myself." The box, broken and empty, waa found later In a nearby hallway. A few days later the girls returned to the drug store. One of Mr.

Hackett's clerk was arranging bottles of grape juice in the window. The two little girls walked into the drug store. One of tliem said sh wanted to look at the telephone book. The other edged over to the pile of grape Juice bottles, snatched one, and ran out. The other stood out on the sidewalk in front of the atore and made a most impertinent gesture, Druggist Hackett said yesterday.

No you don't. Mr. Smarty." she said to tho clerk who. in a vain effort to catch the other girl, had run out to the sidewalk. A few days later the two girls went Into the Barrett, dyeing agency at Seventy-ninth Street and Amsterdam Avenue and took three dollar bill oft the counter fwhile the woman cashier' gack was turned.

They also vlsiteu a bakery. Then they went to th Sheffield Farms Dairy. "Have you got any duck'a eggs? one of them asked the clerk. No one bad ever asked the clerk for duck's eggs in all hi experience, and without turning to look he told them that they had better go away quickly. So they got nothirg there.

Probably the most remarkable thins the two little girl have done so far. though, waa their attempt to steal Republican District Captain Samuel Harris's watch. Mr. Harris, who has a store at 387 Amsterdam Avenue, left his coat on the counter one dav last week and went out to luncheon in his shirtsleeves, leaving his sister in charge of the store. The girls walked into the store and.

seeing: the gold chain hanging out of the pocket, dragged it from the button hole and ran out of the tore. Mis Harris ran after them and yelled. Drop it! so vigorously, that the little glrla let the watch fall to the pavement. Then two men. according to Miss Harris, seised their hands and helped them to run away.

Several shop keepers say that the little girls are still seen daily walking about Amsterdam Avenue. The shop keepers are sure they come from one of the tenements In West Sixtieth Street, down by the Ncrth River. THOUGHT OF EXCUSETOO LATE Picket Didn't Tell Policeman He Had Summons, but Tried to Stab Him. When Harry Sobel. a striking cloak-maker, was In the Night Court before Magistrate Barlow last night on a charge of disorderly conduct for refusing to move on from In front of the cloak factory of Morris Bernstein at 74 Columbia Street.

Alderman Max Levlne. who defended him, dec'ared: had a rljtht 'to stay there, your Honor, for I had given him a summons to serve on Bernstein, ordering him to appear as a witness in the case of several cf the arrested strikers." Policeman Shtehan of the Madison Street Station, who arrested Sobel, said th prisoner had not told him anything about the mmn, but merely abused him when he ordered him to move on, an 1 later had drawn a screwdriver and threatened him when they were on their way to the Station.

His head waa almost blowa off.

In whoa office in the Bedford Building the ahootlng and suicide occurred. The letter to Fetzer contains many ref erences to Rigdon snd his efforts to get control of the block of stock, tells of a past Intimate acquaintance between the two, and after calling Rigdon a fiend, Insists that both will be happier by living apart. The handwriting of the two let ters waa somewhat alike, though the paper was different, and the police theory at flrat was that they had been written by th same woman. That the letter addressed to Mr. Fetser was written by M-s.
