Weep for Ko Low.
Poincare'e Receivership.
The Dog't Majesty.
The Ciar Also Did It
-By ARTHUR BRISBANE?
(Copyright, 1(11.)
Ko Lev, prosperous Chinas*,
sf New York, walked from the
Chinese Delmonico'g with e
whit* girl on either arm. Two
other Chinese shot one girl in
the foot, shot Ko Low dead
with various bullets, then melt
ed into the Asiatic atmosphere
of the Chinese quarter.
Ko Low's "ton*" says: "The
brothers of Ko Low are an
guished by the death, but can't
Understand it" It is just a
prifate murder, not a ton* war,
they say. White men, with
their opinions of the two white
girls, think it may have been
providential.
So much for New Yoik. In
San Francisco, members of all
the tongs met and Important
leaders signed a treaty, agree
ing not to shoot anybody until
further notice.
. At that moment detectives
broke in, seized the treaty, say
>*?*? "We'll keep this secret.
Bat if you do start shooting,
well arrest everybody whose
Bame is signed here."
They are signing such docu
ments in Europe. If only some
celestial power could take cop
? of the treaties and promise
to lock up any statesmen start
ing a fight!
The plan of Monsieur Poin
eare is to establish a German
plebiscite. Germany would live
under allied supervision, the al
lies would take 20 per cent of
mining end industrial conces
sions. They would run Ger
n,*ny ,"as a going concern,"
something like a receiver ap
pointed by the court, taking
?*?r. ? railroad. The German
receivership, including sixty mil
ium Germans, would be a con
siderable undertaking. I
