WASHINGTON, June 20. - Supple
menting scores of clews bearing upon
the appearance in this city OF Leon
Ling, alias William Leon, the Chinese
suspected of the murder of Elsie Sigel,
and the events that transpired during
the two or three days he is supposed TO
have remained here about the time OF
the murder, was the discovery TO-DAY
that on June u a special delivery let.
ter addressed ."William Leon, care OF
G. r. Schutt, National hotel, Washlng-
ton" was received here from New York.
The reverse side of the envelope
bore the name of Mr.. Sam Wlng' 90
Bayard street, New York.
Because of the early departure on
June 12 of Ling for whom the letter
was evidently intended, 1t was not de-
livered 1t was postmarked at New
York, p. M, June IL.
The police say the envelope has not
been broken open, and it is now In
the hands of the postal authorities.
The local police tonight firmly be-
lieve that Elsie Sigel did not visit
washington, although a young woman
said to have resembled the murdered
girl was seen about Pennsylvania
avenue hotel with man believed to
be Ling.
Attention was directed to the couple
because of the unusual sight OF
pretty American girl with Chinese.

POSSES SEARCH FOR
MEXICAN MURDERER
GILA VALLEY Is PATR0LED BY
MANY ARMED MEN
Slayer of White Man In Canyon Near
Yuma Eludes Pursuers-$6oo
Reward Is Offered for
Assassin

YUMA, June 20.-Francisco Marquee,
the murderer of Peter Hodges, is still
at large despite the fact that the Gila
valley, in which it is believed Marquee
has been hiding since early yesterday,
is patroled by armed men from Yuma
to Dome.
The murderer has been so securely
intrenched in the underground that ef-
forts to dislodge him have proved fu-
tile. 1t is believed that during the
night MARQUEE succeeded in working
his way through the thicket from the
valley bottom to the mesa south of
town and special guards are watching
this vicinity now.
The question of calling out the mill
tia to assist in the ~aarch was agi-
tated yesterday, but thus far no orders
have been issued to this effect.
Company H of Yuma went out last
night as individuals with full COM
pIement of officers and men. Every
horse and firearm in Yuma has been
pressed into service in this man hunt
and bitterness against the murderer is
increasing hourly.
Rewards amounting to $500 have been
offered for his capture dead or alive
The funeral of Peter Hodges, the vic
tim of MARQUEE, took place this morn
ing at 10 o'clock from the Catholic
church.

FINAL VOTE ON
TARIFF REMOTE
DUTY ON HIDES TO BE NEXT
THEME OF SENATE
Tax on Corporations, Proposed by
Taft, Also Will Occupy Attention
of Lawmakers for Sew
eral Days
tBv Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Although
the senate made much progress during
& the week in considering the tariff bill,
the date of a final vote is as indefinite
as it was a week ago.
The possibility of sending the bill
back to the house by the first of July
is now considered remote.
The discussion of a duty on hides
will occupy the senate for possibly a
day or two The wood pulp amend
ment offered by the finance committee
will be practically double the duty on
wood pulp, and will then be taken up.
After these two schedules have been
disposed of, it is understood the tax
on corporations. proposed by President
Taft, will occupy the attention of the
senate for several days.
The lumber schedules and the rate
on pig and scrap iron and on wire nails
remain to be disposed of.
The question of free cotton bagging
and ties and binding twine are certain
to result in an interesting discussion.
The house bills provision for the
free entry of petroleum and its prod
ucts will occupy considerable time, as
will the discussion of the duties on
wrapper and filler tobacco, pineapples,
shoes and leather, and bituminous
coal.

nARIS, June 20.-An occurrence un-
precedented in the French turf
n almost prevented the running of
the Grand Steeplechase of Paris to-
day at the Auteuil course.
Erhe meeting was disorganized by a
serious riot, several persons being in
jured. Many arrests were made.
Inspired and aided, it is said, by
Pataud and other revolutionary lead
ers, forty militant members of the
Stable Boys union, armed with revol-
vers, ambushed the vans conveying the
horses from Maisons la Fitte, their
running quarters. Among the victims
We're several American horses.
1t was a long time before the cause
Of the non-appearance of the horses
became known, but finally a magiS-
trate and a force Of police set off In
automobiles to the scene of the trouble,
where they put the stable boys to
fight and rescued the racers.
1t seemed at first as though the
meeting would have to be abandoned,
and President Fallieres, who always is
present at the Grand Steeplechase, was
advised by telephone not to come.
Crowds Become Violent
Eventually the call was given for
the first race. This was more than
two hours after the scheduled time
and the crowds became VlOlent WHEN
single horse presented itself for
Walkover in the first event.
Jockey and horse were forced to beat
a hasty retreat to the paddock, as the
crowd swarmed on the track and re-
fused the jockey permission to take his
mount over the course.
The second event was for army Off
GERS, riding their own horses.
For some reason or other the crowds
became frenzied when several officers
cantered in.
The officers were pelted with mis-
siles and two were severely injured.
The barriers guarding the course were
broken down and hundreds of men an
vaded the track, several of them being
ridden down and injured by the wildly
excited horses.
About the same time the booths and
hedges were set on fire, but reinforce
ments of police, troops and firemen ex-
tinguished the flames.
The Grand Steeplechase, which was
worth s2S, 500, was won by %. Veil
Pichard's st. Caradeo, with G. G. Ash
eton-Smith's Jerry NJ. second and M.
Champions Mademoiselle Boniface
third.
w. x. vanderbilt's Herkimer won
the Prix du Herisy, at a mile and
three-quarters, over hurdles.

RAILROADS CONTRACT
FOR STEEL SUPPLIES
MANY ORDERS PLACED FOR
PLATES AND RAILS
One and one-Quarter Million Tons of
Iron Utilities Already Ordered
and Larger Business
Expected

NEW YORK, June 20.-Although
the volume of business In iron and
steel products last week was smaller
than for several weeks, specifications
on contracts were heavy.
1t is estimated that at least 100000
tons of shapes and plates will be re-
quired by the railroad equipment man
ufacturers in the next six months. Rail
contracts have been only $4,000 tons,
but the full month is likely to develop
orders aggregating 100000 tons.
Specifications for wire products
placed thus far in June have been at
a greater average daily rate than at
any time in the history of the trade,
with the exception of last month.
The principal development in pig
iron has been the demand from rail-
roads and equipment shops, including
charcoal iron for car wheels.
Prices are advancing. There have
been some additional sales of old ma
terial to steel works in the east and
heavy business is reported to have been
done in the west for Chicago and
Pittsburg works.
Among the largest orders last week
was 5000 tons for a copper smelter in
Arizona.
