Beck Dong, the murdered president of
-the Hop Sing tong. a year* ago, the
funeral of Huie Fonr today was
marked by the absence of mourners.
The family of the dead man are not

gaged, however, to supply music while
the body of the dead Chinese was es
corted to the cemetery- The hearse
was driven by a man of Hule Fong's
.family soc^etr. who scattered red bits
of paper along the route to confuse
-the devils walch Taoltes believe follow
a pall, hungry for the soul of tbe de
' parted.
*.n front of the store # where Huie
Fong was fn trade for years was
erected a large canopy. Under this
the Chinese priest sacrificed a goat.
Huie Fong was known as one of the
rriost influential Chinese in the city.
He was of the peace element during
the tong war between the Hop Sings
and the Bing Kongs. During the re
cent observance of Chinese New Year
he and his associate, Kan Hong, gave
a great banquet, to which were In
vited the police officials and all the

lected by, the Southern . Pacific company
for the extension . of its Lincoln avenue
steam road ? when that system is " con
verted into an electric line. As laid out
by | Poyser the proposed extension of

\u0084The. Southern^ Pacific company, In
askingUhe city council's permission to
convert its local steam Hn.^s ' into elec
tric roads, requested a franchise cover
ing Lincoln avenue from. Park street to
High, >nd -thence around the eastern
end of the city to Encinal avenue, wher^s
'the 'extension would connect with the
southside \u25a0'line. . Lincoln avenue . was
found to be too narrow for a double
track system and the city council-sug
gested to the railroad management that
itjwould be better to change the route
to Clement, avenue, as the owner of the
Cohen tract had agreed to allow the
avenue to be opened through the prop
erty on j condition that all the expense
be borne \by the railroad, and the city.
It is for the." Purpose of ascertaining
how. much It would cost to, open Clem
ent avenue through the Cohen tract

'THIRD PERSON' NEW
THEORY OF SLEUTH
Oakland Detective Chief Sus
pects Another in Dyna»
; ' mite Mystery
OAKLAND, Feb. 18.— All local au
thorities, including the district attor
ney's office, the chief of police and the
city .detective , force, under j Captain
Petersen, ure ' awaiting advices from
"Weavervllle before taking further ac
tion. In the case . of Mrs. Isabella J.
Martin on a prospective charge of at
tempting the life o£ Judge Frank B.
Ogden. by exploding dynamite on his
premises through the agency of her
reputed son, "Baby John" Martin.
The eyes -of Captain o£ Detectives
Petefsen arid his officers are now
focused on what may develop in TVeav
ervllle or Redding, both of which cities
are expected to show new evidence and
clews. .He has not yet heard from
Hodgkins or Donahue at 'Weaverville.
'//Captain .of .Detectives Petersen be
lieves, that a third person other than
Mrs. Martin, and "Baby John", was in
volved in the affair. He thinks that
an anonymous letter received by Judge
Ogden was written by this additional
suspect, in ; the dynamiting- outrages,
butas this supposition is as yet mere
theory he is unable to either give the
name- of" the . supposed offender "or to
put his /finger on his probable loca
tion.
The captain Is of the opinion .that
this person, who is supposed to be a
man, is lurking abou* the vicinity of
the prison where Mrs. %Martln is con
fined atjWeavervllle and he has so no
tified Detective Hodgkins and Chief
Deputy District Attorney Donahue, who
arenow/in Weaverville looking over
the evidence. -
Captain Petersen, who has charge
of the ease -in Oakland.' said today that
it would probably be the middle of this
we*.k before either Hodgkins or Dona
hue-would return from the. north.
When they, come back they will bring
•'Baby John" Martin with them and
probably Mr». Martin also.
\u25a0'\u25a0 No caches of explosives or
poisons have been found in Oakland.
The ; detective's -of fice : has_ abandoned
the : search, '. both : In De Fremery park
and at the former home of Mrs. Mar
tin; 1634VWe'9t street, until after the
arrival In -this city Jof the boy, who
has promised to locate at least one
cache in; the park. The local authori
ties feel that it is next to useless to
attempt : to locate this cache unaided
by the knowledge of the boy who says
he buried it. . ;
