Already the police have been'
culled upon to Kuard some of the
nstaurunts. The proprietors In

t.arful. Frantic efforts arcbelng
made by the Chinese merchants
.t.id th?; various "benevolent" as

that pence is hot in sight. The

ed amonK the "had men" of the

They jilso say that "bad Clhna->
men" just like "bad white men
v.* h o carry on gang lights In the
I'owery and csitch 'em victims on :
big East Hide."
New York maintains especially j
trained police for the Chinese dls-,
iriets. To the untrained eye, all
?'hinatn"n look more or legs alike.'
Dut to the blue emits and the I
plain clothes men who live among'
the orientals there is a vast dif-J
f renc. The police seldom fry to
figure out the cauneB of the Chin
ese wars. They Hay the present]
outbreak may have something to
do with the revolution in China,
but it is mor- likely a quarrel
arising out of the illicit traffic In
nplum. On two o^ tho victims
this far, powdered opium has been |
found. The regular Chinatown,
police have been augmented by
members of the bomb squad, the
narcotic division, the special ser
vice prohibition squad, the radical!
squad and other picked men of1
the force. Their efforts at the
moment is to keep the war from
spreading. Many Chinamen llv-:
in? uptown and conducting res-:
taurants there have been caught j
in the Chinatown blockade and
are afraid to leave.
Always a place of shadows and
mystery, Chinatown today wears'
an Impenetrable veil. The China
men never pick it quarrel or fights
with a white man. They prefer;
fo annihilate their own kind.
