14 HOP SINGS MAY AID ON YICKS IN WAR OF TONGS - Chinese Society Threatens to Participate in Conflict of the Factions . Arrest of Member of Organiza tion Is Swiftly Followed, by an Ultimatum The Yee-Yick fued now disturbing Chinatown was given fresh impetus yesterday, when it became known that, owing to the arrest of Lvi Leon at San Jose in connection with one of the killings, the Hop Sing tong had been drawn into the trouble, and It was com monly rumored that the latter or ganization had sent an ultimatum to the Yee family, declaring that unless the arrested man was set at liberty by next Thursday night, they would join forces with the Ticks. Lvi Leon is a Hop Sing man, and the claim of his fraternal brothers is that he is innocent of the crime on which he was put in prison. The Hop Sings declare that the Yee man killed met his death through a mistake on the part of some other Yees, who, thinking him a Yick. shot him. Dis covering their mistake later, they fled and Lvi Leon was arrested on suspicion. The Hop Sings now claim that it is up to the Yees to acknowledge their mis take and get the Hop Sing man out of trouble. The story of the Yee clan is that Lvi Leon is a professional gunman and, though a Hop .Sing man, hired himself to the Yicks for a price. They declare that he had been identified by a num ber of white persons and that, even if they so desired, they could not get him out of jail. The expectations in Chinatown are that next Thursday night will see the tight a three cornered one and the kill ing recommence until some truce can be arranged in the meantime. . The ultimatum was kept secret. The advent of the Hop Sings into the im broglio, while making the situation ex tremely grave, leads to a hope araon^ the Chinese merchants that it will hasten the end of the feud, inasmuch as the Yees will be outnumbered by far and thereby forced to come to terms. Should the Hop Sings fulfill ex pectations the treaty to keep peace until March will be completely shat tered. In the face of the new phase to the affair, several of the Yees sought hid ing- yesterday and additional guards were maintained. COLMA POSTMASTER MUST FACE INQUIRY Charged With Attempting to Evade Official Orders George Wight, postmaster of Colma, is to be subjected to a. rigid examina tion b ythe postal authorities for refus ing to admit a newspaper as second class mail matter after receiving formal notice to do so from the postoffice de partment at Washington. The com plainant is oJseph L. Brown, editor of the Colma Record. Brown applied for admission of the Record to the mails as second class matter. Having received no answer by the end of November he requested Wight to write again to Washington. On every occasion when he inquired for the notice came the same answer, "No notice yet." Finally Brown wrote to Washington about the matter and received a reply that Wight had long ago been notified on- two occasions to allow the paper to go as second claes matter. Brown showed th«? communication to the post master, and the latter hastened to al low the papers to go through the mail at the lower rate, though still protest ing that he had received no notice. Brown is said to have incurred Wight's dislike by attacking the gambling at Colma- Wight is a deputy constable.

FRESCO OF ANNUNCIATION IS THE WORK OF DA FORLI About five years ago Signer Sacconi, the architect, discovered in the Pan theon in Rome behind an altar picture a fresco of the annunciation. At the time it was attributed to Mitoncazzo Romano, and among those who ac cepted.this view were M. Jacobsrn and Doctor Bernardinl, says tlie London Globe. •Now the fresco has been thoroughly cleaned and subjected to a more com plete Inspection the connoisseurs con- Bfder it the work of Melozzo-da Forli. The discovery was made by accident. The picture had . to be taken down to do some repairs to the wall and then under a thick layer of dust the work men came' across the painting. 1 The colors' had suffered badly, but the con ception is said to be very t fine. ; Constantinople is the dirtiest city In the. world, 'the only street cleaners be ing -the starving *dogs; cats and. rats; but the, people do use soap.'

ORPHEUM SHOW HAS RARE MERIT Arturo Bernardi Makes Light . ning Changes in Playlets; Impersonates Musicians Arturo Bernardi is an Orpheum im portation of real merit. This Italian protean artist quickly convinced his audience yesterday afternoon that he is possessed of rare- versatility. His lightning changes seemed almost im possible until the audience was given a glimpse behind 'the scenes,' where two active assistants stripped him of one costume and quickly adjusted an other as he presented the several char acters of a playlet. He first-present ed "Gerolamo's Escapade," in which he portrays a waiter, a countryman, his wife, a wandering showman, a coquet, a professor, a soubrette and a pollc/e official. Bernardi also got down with the or chestra and gave clever impersonations of Wagner, Lizst, Gounod, Meyerbeer, Verdi, Mascagni and Sousa. It is dur ing the presentation of a comedietta. "The Surprise," that' Bernardi exposes his method of making his quick changes. As the audience begirrs to un derstand it all, Bernardi mystifies it again as he steps forward in one. cos tume after another in response to quickly succeeding curtain calls.

San JFrancisco's . water system. Walter Macarthur, Ralph. Me- Leran, Thomas E. Hayden, former Sen ator M. H. Mead and Isidor Jacobs ear nestly argued for. the passage : of "both propositions. Max Popper; and r Daniel O'Connell counseled a. vote for,- Hetch Hetchy alone, and advised the defeat: of proposition' No. 2,. 0n ,the ground,. chief-, ly, that Spring Valley had mulcted the city too many years to be paid any fur ther money. - . ' L' URGES PURCHASE OF PLANT v Macarthur's speech was a strong one, and his remarks were \u25a0 greeted '.with bursts of applause. He said:- \u25a0 The defeat *of the proposition to acquire the Spring Valley plant ." .would. . I fear, mean the defeat of, or a hopeless • complication in, 'the . * whole affair. It has been saldthat = we should pass -the Hetch Hetchy . project, and then bravely; dare . Spring Valley influences to do their. worst at Washington.! I say that * this is a short sighted policy, for, we should do equal Justice. both to ourselves and the corporation, se | cure the Spring \ Valley plant, and so clear the rpad for the early com pletion of our municipal water' system. • . : ' Many honest citizens sincerely fear that the purchase of Spring • Valley will mean that the city will be. turned away from the Hetch Hetchy project, and that the activl tiesofthe municipal officials will be directed to enlarging the pree '. ent plaiat, while the idea of .obtain ing a mountain supply, will.be lost "sight of. This is far from true. If Spring Valley is not. purchased we will fare badly at Washington, I fear, and the city will, be at the - mercy of the corporation, which now falls far short of supplying our needs, for the next 10 years, for"it will be that- many years, perhaps, -• before the -\u25a0 Hetch Hetchy system is - y in a condition to supply ithe city. \u25a0\u25a0 ' \u25a0 While conferring witlt- the pub lic lands committee of congress at .Washington, as one of- the .men . sent from San Francisco to present the case of this city to the national government, I learned very soon that the committeemen were half \u25a0 convinced : that this city was > not acting in good, faith with Spring Valley. The questions they asked \u25a0 showed clearly that they were ask- j ing themselves, "Are these people coming to us. in good faith,' really because they desire a pure water system, or are they, endeavoring to ; hoodwink the federal govern- \u25a0 ment into-a plan* to secure the " Spring Valley plant at a low fig ure, or force the plant out of busi ness without paying the corpora tion a just figure for its \u25a0 phys ical assets?" \u25a0 -\u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0' ••' .-\u25a0'-'-• The . Spring Valley attorney, \u25a0 Mr. • J McCutcheon, saw the -idea in the • committeemen's minds, and made much of it. and should we neglect to. buy Spring-Valley I know that a report of all " the speeches made against the corporation during this campaign, with, the * result . of the . election, and other' matters un earthed by the corporation, will- be [ sent to this committee<at Washing « ton. Thenit:will look bad for our. chances of .securing the- land we want In the Sierras, for the matter .\u25a0> - has not yet been decided, .for us" definitely. .:\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0;: FAVORS BOTH PROPOSITIONS : Ralph McLeran made ,a strong plea for a vote for both: propositions and Thomas E. Hayden devoted himself al most entirely to dissecting the state ment made by' Max Popper that Hetch Hetchy was. a - natural water system and Spring Valley an artificial, one. Hayden declared '.that the water, that would be impounded in Lake Eleanor would eome.j like ' the water that the Spring Valley; now impounds, from the skies. Isidor Jacobs criticised the allega tions. 6tl Daniel O'Connell, who "began, the debate. * _ M. C. Hassett, president "of the Iro quois club, presided at the meeting. No vote was; taken 'on the subject under discussion, as the gathering was'mere ly : for -the s purpose of 'discussing the various phases of ; the water election. The citizens* water committee 'ißsued a" ; ; statement •yesterday -which ;; points out that there are now ;; some "56,000 household water connections in the city, and that these were installed .at the expense of ' the householder, -at an average cost of $15 each./ Should January Clearance Our Entire Stock of \u25a0Jp .'vf' '..K : 3- /-.-. *%** '\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0* I wlllwl»\lviit»Ajr \u25a0 Rediiced Prices 'HAVEN'T TOLD ALL' AVERS McCARTHY New Chief Executive Says He Mayv Have More, to Say of Predecessors -' - - — \u25a0:• - \u25a0 \u25a0 • • •The new board of supervisors will begin its official business today with a y clean* slate, the old board having finished all Its work before retiring. \u25a0 As Mayor McCarthy enters - upon his new duties' ln^ the. city hall Citizen Ed ward."* Robeson Taylor will wend his way to Hastings college' and proceed with-hls lectures on law.

URGES DUAL SYSTEM \u25a0The committee. gives 10 other reasons why both propositions 1, and 2 should be carried. They are: 1. A bond Is not a debt until it is sold. . 2. The preponderance of the expert legal tes timony farors the Talldity of the proposed bond issues as being within the city's bonding rights. 3. A rote against either proposition imperils both. • 4.
