RUSSELL New York, June 26. —Elsie Sigel’s co- quetting with her two Chinese lovers brought on her death. Her letters to William Leon, the flashy young sport, whose pockets were always empty, and to Chu Gain, who always had money for his friends, are direct indi- cations to the police that the grand- daughter of General Franz Sigel would be alive if she had not tried to play two Chinese strings to her bow. The police have kept tight hold on the girl’s loying notes to her yellow admirers, refusing to make them pub- lic for three reasons. The Sigel fam- ily went to Commissioner Bingham and entreated him not to give them out. Hundreds of letters from all over the country have been received at po- lice headquarters asking the commis- sioner to withhold them, because their publication might affect other girls who might be inclined to be as fool- ish as Elsie had been. For a third reason, the police heads argue that Leon might have a better chance to run if the contents of El '| sie’s letters were common property. They have not been entirely suc- cessful in Mulberry street though, in preventing the contents of a few let- ters to Leon, hunted all over the world as the girl’s murderer, and to Chu Gain, her other lover, from becoming known and these letters tell in them- selves the cause of her murder. Dual Game of Love. She soothed Leon’s jealousy with one hand while she smoothed the ruf- fled feelings of the other Chinese with the other. She wrote one day to William L. Leon of the missions, her “Willie,” assuring him she would not give him up for anybody. A few days later she wrote to Chu Gain that she loved Chu and Chu only and that “Willie” was nothing to her. i All of this time, for weeks before she was strangled in Leon’s room, Leon was snarling with jealousy, threatening the girl, threatening Chu Gain, appealing to his own private Tong to help him get square and send- ing out Chung Sing as a spy. The police learned that while Elsie was undoubtedly making love to both :|Chinamen, her mother had ordered her to break away from Leon and pay more attention to Chu Gain. Elsie’s letters indicated that she was willing enough to flatter the moneyed Chinamen with loving phras- es, but she was not ready to break off !} with her old friend, Leon. New York, Jung 25.—With all tangi- ble indications of any near approach | to a solution of the murder of Elsie Sigel narrowing to the vanishing point, whereas a fresh crop of rumors springs with each hour of added un- || certainty, another day of threefold in- vestigation by police, detectives and district attorney has ended. Chung Sin, after 34 hours of steady grilling, with but one intermission for sleep, had a day of rest at last. The same stream of hopeful but un- satisfactory clues kept pouring in from Chinatown itself, from Newark and the suburbs, and even from the F aah COSTELLO Physician and Surgeon Office and Residence Cor Leland Avenue and Sixth Street GRAND RAPIDS, MINN.

REISHUS-REMER LAND COMPANY, SHPCEHSCASHSH SSS SSKSSCSHECOSSESEeEOOS: iesatianesniill Washington, June 24.—Middle west- ern agitation for a reduction in the lumber tariff made a final feeble splash in the senate yesterday and then gave up the ghost when the fin- ance committee’s schedule on lumber was adopted by a vote of 50 to 28. The first vote today was on an amendment2 by Senator McCumber proposing a rate of $1 per 1,000 on sawed lumber instead of the rate de- ecided upon by the finance committee, which was $1.50 per 1,000. The com- mittee was sustained—44 to 24. Of the attirmative votes, ten only were cast by Democrats—Bankhead, Clay, Davis, Gore, Hughes, Johnston, McLaurin, Overman, Paynter and Till- man. Republicans who voted in support of the amendment were Bever- idge, Bristow, Brown, Burkett, Burton, Carter, Clapp, Crawford, Cummings Curtis, Gamble, La Follette, McCumber and Nelson. The Democrats voting against the amendment were Bacon, Bailey, Chamberlain, Fletcher, Foster, Martin, Money, Simmons, Smith, of Maryland, Taliaferro and Taylor. Finished Lumber Also. Senator McCumber followed his de- feat on the rough lumber matter by offering an amendment, the effect of which was to lower the duty on the various grades of finished lumber. He said he was trying in his amendment to make the differentials bear as near a relation to the finished product as possible. The differentials proposed in his amendment, he said, would still be 50 per cent higher than the actual cost, and therefore would provide ample protection, at the same time affording some relief to the con- SHCHSSKSESESSSHS eRe rerE ERT: GEO.

KREMER & KING PROPRIETORS Office opposite Post Office. Chicago, June 25.—“Women are bar- barians and savages.” This is the estimate placed on the fair sex by Professor Frederick Starr, of the University of Chicago, in an ar- ticle in the July number of the Red Book. “Can anygne, anywhere, actually point out a single first-class achieve- ment in literature, in art, in a science, by woman?” he asks. “Woman lives in an old, old world. She thinks the old thoughts, feels the old impulses, dresses in the old gee- gaw; she is thrilled by the old world’s hopes and fears. The child, of course, is the oldest of human be- ings; the woman is next nearest to the childhood, and the priest comes third. “She will continue to be a better picture of the savage than man.” Over Finnigan’s GRAND RAPIDS, MINN.
