Wallace Ware[edit]

According to the cited source, Judge Wallace Lemuel Ware (b. 1892 in Santa Rosa) conducted the arrest in 1900, and wrote a book (The Unforgettables, published 1964) about it. It appears that he named this in the same vein as The Untouchables, the 1957 Eliot Ness book about Chicago organized crime. The Untouchables TV series was written by David Karp (b. 1922), who used the pseudonym Wallace Ware. This is either coincidental, or in homage to Ware's then-unpublished accolade in organized crime.

The name Wallace Ware appears in multiple secondary sources, but mostly in connection with this event and organization. His name is redlinked here, but his notability is close to the fine line; it seems reasonable for the article on Wallace L. Ware to redirect to this article. He did run for a few reasonably-minor public offices, including the California Public Utilities Commission (in 1933) and state Attorney General (lost, 1942), and his name did appear in the Oakland Tribune in connection with the latter (August 23, 1942).

In any event, the Wallace Ware linked was the wrong one, so that has been fixed.

question about lede[edit]

it looks like it says "tong or tong4" although on closer inspection that isn't really a 4. I am assuming this is some sort of special character with which I am unfamiliar but if I am an average wikipedian then this second word is more confusing than not. I suggest explaining it for non-Chinese interested in the history, or else omitting it as too confusing. I leave the choice to someone who isn't reading their first overviews of tong history Elinruby (talk) 02:13, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
