HIGHBINDER SHOOTING CASE Montpelier Chinaman Chosen to Kiii Offender. iREEORM LEADER AAY DIE Mock Duck Shot Down by Sing Lee. Who Drew he Fatal NumberAn Attempt at Rescue. New York, Nov. 3. --A shooting afi'iay with many features resembling the high binder out rapes of the San Francisco Chinese ipiaiter, which occurred in China town early today, may result in the death of Mock Duck, one of the most prominent members of the Jleform ele ment in the local Chinese colony. Mock was waylayed as he was passing through Pell street, and one or two tail lets fired at him lodged in his abdomen, making an extremely dangerous wound. When his assailant, Sing Lee, who was captured as he was running down Pell street, was taken to the patrol box by a policeman, the two were surround ed by three other Chinamen with drawn revolvers, demanding the release of the prisoner. The situation was becoming serious when u dozen reserves, who had been summoned arrived on the scene. The reserves found the policeman aud his prisoner backed up in a doorway, the officer holding back three armed China men. The would-be rescuers tied when the reinforcements arrived. X'ear the scene of the shooting the police found a new revolver with a 12 iaeh burrel, and a new hunting knife with a blade eight inches long. Tbe attempted murder is the outcome of a Chinese secret society fend or Tong war. Four j ears apo Mock Duck, who is a niemln't' of the Case Hip Sinx Tong se cret order killed an adherent of OngLong Tung order whose strongest tenet is blood vengeance. He was tried and ac quitted by the evourts, but the High binders society resolved upon his death. After his trial Mock Duck iwited as agent for the reform society and secured for them many convictions of Chinese gam blers, who have the patronage, of the Highbinders society. With this added injury lots were drawn by Montpclicr, 'Philadelphia end Richmond, Vt Chinamen to select the man who should put the dislurlier oul of the way. Sing Ie drew forth the fatal mtntlwr. This morning as Mock Duck left his home, a fusihule of shots from a dark doorway greeted him, and he fell des perately wounded. HARVARD VS. DARTMOUTH. Harvard Line-Up Uncertain Hanover Boys Not Talking Much. Boston, Nov. 4. With tiie exiK-ri-tuenting that has leergoing on all the week on Soldiers Feld the line-up that Harvard will present against Dartmouth on Saturday seems a matter of consid erable doubt. Several of the first-siring players who went into the Pennsylvania paiiie last Saturday have not been in the scrimmage ut all this week, and while some huve been out running through signals, others have not got in to their togs since that memorable con test. The ends are still problems. The coaches have decided, evidently, that it is policy to leave the best of the substitutes "on the sidelines, while the 'varsity is playing a weak second eleven, for again yesterday the leading substitutes were lined tip against the first string men and neither side could Dartmouth Is Ready. Hanover, N. 1L, Nov. 4. The last hard practice of the Dartmouth eleven was taken yesterday afternoon. The sqnad left Hanover at 11.19, going to the Woodland Park Hotel at Auburn dale on arrival in Boston. This will give the team an opportunity for light signal practice late iu the afternoon for the game on Saturday. Little is being said here ns to the outcome of the game against Harvard. Dartmouth hopes to repeat the victory of a year ago and the supporters of the team are fpiietly cov ering the llarvard money iu sight, the odds being three to one. The eleven will probably face Har vard as follows: Left end, Lillard; lett tackle, Keady; left guard, .1.

CAUCUS BILL IS REPORTED Hearing on Liquor Law Last Evening Tbe Debate and Vote on the Weekly Payment Bill. Montpelier, Xov. 4. So strong is the desire to go home on Friday barely half the memliers of the House were in their seats this forenoon, and some of those who were determined to adjourn from noon txlay to Wednesday afternoon of next week. Keconsideration of the, reso lution to adjourn tonight, however, was refused. The Senate refused to concur in the resolution to adjourn tonight. The House this morning passed after a long debate the bill that towns shall furnish high schools or high school in struct ion and the Senate passed a bill that the eyes anr ears of school children be examined. The Senate voted 13 to 13 on the bill. Lieut. -Gov. Stearns casting the, deciding vote in its favor. The joint committee on judiciary and caucus law, instead of reporting a new mil in place of the inaiiv referred to them, this morning reported in the ."senate, senator Mack's with several amendments. The amendments were adopted without debate and the bill was ordered to lie and be printed. 1 ios lull provides that every tux payer shall be furnished a blank on which' he must return to the assessors his party preferences before he is eligible to vote in a caucus. The principal amendment to the bill provides that all caucuses of all parties shall be held on the same day and that ballots shall be uniform in size. Names of candidates to go on the ballots must be presented at least 24 hours ahead. Weekly Payment Bill Discussion. The discussion on the weekly payment bill, which resulted in the ordering of the measure to a third reading as an nounced yesterday, furnished a good deal of interest yesterday aftornon. The introducer of the bill, Mr. Smith of Rutland city, started the debate. He .said the bill was introduced at the re quest of the workingmen. It was a measure in their interest. Except as to the wngeworker, business is now re duced mostly to a cash basis. Ho has to wait for bis pay. Corporations will find compensatory benefits to any extra trouble incurred. Mr. Durick of Castlelon said that the wage earner would not be the only bene ficiary, but the advantage would flow on to the merchant and other business men who now have o trust the laborer. This is not a question of benefit to the labor unions, but to all laborers, even if unorganized. Weekly payments mean a constant circulation of money in a community, Hrailvvays get their reve nue in advance and should not object to paying their laborers as often as once a week. Raliroods in Massachusetts do. Mr. Malone of Fair Haven said weekly payment was o protection to laborers against possible failure of tho employing concerns and consequent loss. Corpo rations should keep clerical help stuiic icnt to pay their employees weekly. It is established that weekly payments mean increased saving? deposits and tax revenues to tho state. Mr. Waite of Hyde Park argued that weekly payment would work hardship to municipal corporations, without re sultant benefit to anyone. Indirectly, it would Barm the farmer who would have to compete with corporations pay ing weekly. Mr. Smith of Ilutland city did not consider that the act applied to munici pal corporations, under its wording. Mr, Darling of Hardwick said weekly payments in his town worked very sat isfactorily. Mr. Maxfield of Johnson lielieved in legislation for the many, not for the few. If corporations are required to pay weekly, companies and individuals will have to follow suit. A workingnian is better contented with his lot if his wages come weekly, can pay his bills and have a little left. Weekly payment works well in other states. Mr. Pape of Bane city said that he represented a constituency made up mostly of workingmen who were inter ested in having wages paid weekly. The laborer knows that with ready money in hand he can make his income go further than on a credit system. It is untrue that laborers cannot save if paid frequently. The change from monthly to bi-weekly payments in Rarre has increased the savings bank deposits in that city. Mr. Kddy of Stowe inquired if the act, applied to cooperative creameries. Mr. Pape said that if they were in corporated it did. Mr. Eddy opposed the bill if creamery patrons were to be paid, weekly. Mr. Maxfield explained that the bill k...i i. .i . i. e jfljiiieu o. employ ecs, uui, jihp iuiis, ,;i j creameries. Mr. Nutting of Westminster feared that a requirement compelling creamer ies to pay their help weekly, when the returns come monthly', would not work well. Air. McGinn of Fairfield wished to have the act npply to patrons of cream eries, if it did not. Mr. Eddy objected to this. On motion of Mr. Malone. of Fair klaven the voto was taken by calling the. roll, resulting iu yeas 147, nays 0;s, and the bill was ordered to third read ing. The foot and mouth disease in cattle was vividly described in the House yes terday afienioun vv hen a bill, paying farmers for killing of their HiiimiU, was reported favorably and ordered to rt third leading, "(lie bill was to pay owners of cattle for the last :i per cent of the total value of their animals, the state having already paid TO per cent. The total amount of the bill was $4.5!r.;:t. LIQUOR LAW HEARING. Present Law Considered in All Its Points Ly Legislative Committee. Montpelier, Xov. The attendance was small this evening when in represen tatives' hull the join committee on tem perance gave a public hearing on several hills now in its hands. J, H. Seuter of Montpelier first took up the present li cense law section by section stating to the, committee what sections should in his opinion be amended or repealed. In conclusion Mr. Seuter asked the commit tee to darft a law that eliminates alt the objectionable features of the present law, to darft a law that will be so plain that every one can understand it, a law that- every one can have faith in and obey. On being asked by a member of the CTiinniittee what he would do with the fifth class license, Mr. Scnfer replied that he would abolish it. Ex-Senator ('. J. Russell of lliues burg, a member of the joint committee oil temperance two years ago. advocated a board of license commissioners to be appointed by the govenrnor instead of having the commissioners elected iu the several towns. He believed with Air. Senter that section 1 of the present law which has recently been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, should be, amended so that it will hold water. This could be done by allowing the sale of nnferiiiented wine and eider only. Mr. llussell would make minors ami habitual drunkards disclose where they purchased the liquor on which they became intoxicated and would reinstate the search ami seizure clause of the pro hibitory law. Second class licenses should also be abolished. State Auditor Graham was not in favor of the governor appointing the license commisioners. They should be elected by the people, whether they are county or town commissioners. Mr. (iraham thought a search aud seizure clause should be added, that only town grand jurors and state's attorneys should be allowed to issue warrants and he declined to allow bills for search and seizure incurred by any other officials and that the committee should say whether the towns or the state should take all the fines and costs and pay all the bills. Emmctt M (Feet crs of Enoshurgh Falls protested against inserting the search and seizure clause in tho present law, it encourages the crime of per jury. Representative, Sherburne of l'omfret urged the committee to amend the law not so that the man who gets drunk but the man who seds tho liquor shall be punished, especially if h sells to minors and habitual drnnkards. Representative W. W Milus of Bur ton suggested to the committee that the search and seizure features of the old prohibitory law would not 1 applic able to the present license law. Representative Hapgood of Peru thought the trouble arising from the sale of liquor is not in tbe quantity but iu the quality sold. It would be better if pure liquor was sold without a license than to have such liquor as is sold today under license drunk either on or off the premises. Air. Hapgood favored a state agency or in other words a, Battell bill. W. F. Root of Brattleboro of .the slate board of pharmacy cohllenged the statement of Air. Seuter that holders'of fifth class licenses have been during the past year the most persistent violator of the law. Mr, Seuter replied that a fifth slass license is simply a cover to sell ruin unlawfully. Air. Root replied that a fifth class license is so drastic in its provisions that it is almost im possible for a druggist to live up to it. A pharmacist should have a license to sell liquors tor domest ic purposes at a moderate fee. C. C. litis of Brattleboro advocated no sales on Sundays, legal holidays or on davs when agricultural fairs are held. Chaplain. Eanisou made several sug gestions to the. committee regarding amendment 'to the present law, which closed the discussion. LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
