CHIOAOO, Jan. lit.—Jung Din Kan. a Chinaman, was found dead on the floor of his basemeut laundry at R23 Clark street at 7:30 a. m. Wednesday with his head and throat literally chopped to pieces. Jung Jae.k Lin, a Chinaman, who only arrived in the city from Kansas City, occupied a room in the lannnry Tuesday ni^ht, and when the murder was discovered was at the sink washing his hands, which were stained with the blood of the murdered man. All of his clothing was also stained with blood. Ho denied, however, that he was tho cansc of Kan's death, and claims that the mnrder was committed in the rear portion of the laundry after 5 o'clock while he was in the front part preparing breakfast for himself. His
clothing and hands became bloodstained, he claimed, from an attempt to rr.ise the body of the murdered man from the door to a bed. The inhabitants of the Chinese quarter are in a state of exoitement. over the murder and claim that it is evidence of highbinders bein* at work in this city. The.v sav Kau and Lin were, cousins, but deadly enemies, and it is their belief that Lin came to Chicago for pose of murdering Kail

A
gentleman well acquainted with the Chinese and their customs said to a reporter, on hearing of the murder: "This murder bears all the earmarks of genuine highbinder murder, but ir ot a iiiiw! exceptional clmraeter, as it fs exiremely rnra that a Chinese will murder wnother ot lho sr.ine family. 'Each family, in fact, is a society, ol which the oldest member is the head.

In most highbinder murders the victim ia frightfully mutilated. Human life is hold in light fStiuiHtion by the Chinese, and murders follow the most, trivial offense. The so-called Chinese ma&onlo societies are in reality nothing more nor les* than highbinder societies. China itself is honeycombed with these societies, which are perpetuated here with all tne barbaric ceremonies of the parent country. Wry often the jossnou-^s ai« tin* headquarters and here tho villainy to bo perpetuated is pianned to the minutest details. The gods are propitiated by snfTeriinLrs.

It is as likely as not that in this particular case the victim had broken the rules of bis society iu pome particular and that the murderer wa» purposely sent here to kill him for his failure to live up to his obligations.'
