Depends on Icons Arrest.

Confirmation Of this theory depends first
of all on tho arrest Of Leung Lin him
self, and second. upon what they can
screw out Of Chung Sin. Everything
Chu Gain, the manager Of the Port
Arthur, has said bears out the story the
police have outlined.
Chu's most important statement was
that he knew the girl was trying to
break away from Leung Lin. because
she was in love with him and that Lseung

knew It and had threatened by letter to
Kill both the girl and Chu. II seemed
likely 10 the police that Leung. with cum
ming humor, sent his friend. Chung Sin,
10 borrow money from the very man he
hated.
Assistant District Attorney Ward thinks
the catching Of Elsie's murderer may
take weeks instead Of days. II is Mr.
wards Idea that Leung, who was in
Washington on tie night Of Wednesday
June 9, hurried 10 a seaport and engaged
himself rs a cook on some vessel about
10 sail He thinks il likely that Leung
may have gone 10 New Orleans or CAL
weston, or any one OF number OF good
sized cities along the Atlantic or Gulf
coast, and tried to hide himself on a
freighter
Leung, having been a particularly slick
CRATER, was intelligent according 10
American standards and II Is not Ak all
probable, In Mr.. Wards opinion, that he
took the risk Of travelling overland to
san Francisco or Vancouver. There are
too many Of his photographs flying about.
Also they believe II pretty certain that
they can get a definite idea from Chung
Sin where his friend Leung went.

City after city rang in false alarms on

afternoon:

every city have circulars, with excellent
pictures Of Leung, and the most detailed

ought 70 examine these carefully before

fifty years old and as TAT as a cheese.

A wild story went into police head

that he had hidden Leung's body IN the

PROTESTS CONTRACT AWARD.
A. f. ZichtI Is Given Hearing ReIa-
tive 10 Bindery Work.

There was a public hearing yesterday
before the Commissioners relative 20 the
protest hIed BY A. E. Zichtl. local book
binder. against the awarding OF the con-
tract for the fiscal year ending June 50.
1911. for binding the books Of the Public
Library TO a Philadelphia firm.
The protestant was awarded this con-
tract tn 1901 and retained Il until three
years ago. He bid on the work for the
next fiscal year. II was awarded 20 ID.
Emerson, OF Philadelphia The proposal
Of Mr. Emerson was about S6s lower than
the figures named by Mr. Zichu. but he
claims that his proposal was lower than
the Philadelphia firm. ali things taken
into consideration.
In line with the recommendation Of the
board OF trustees Of the Public Library
and George r. Bowerman. librarian. the
Commissioners decided 20 let the con-
tract TO the Philadelphia house, as Origt-
nally intended.
Mr.. ZichtI claims he did the work for
the District for a period OF five years;
that his work was satisfactory: that he
maintains and operates the largest pri-
vate bindery in the District. which Is
equipped with all modern machinery, and
employs more men than all the other
private binders in the city. He claims
to have done work for President ROose-
velt, members OF Congress. and the Cabi-
net. He says a careful analysis OF the
$50 items for which he submitted pro-
posals will convince any one that his bid
was lower than that offered by the Phila-
delphia firm that has been awarded the
contract. The contract carries with It the
expenditure Of s.. 800
Librarian Bowerman said the Philadel-
phia firm makes q speciality OF binding
books for public libraries. while Mr.
Zichtl is a general binder.

ANNEX IS INSPECTED.
Commissioners and school Board
Visit Mckinley Training school.

The addition 10 the Mckinley Train
ing School, which has just been COM
pleted, was inspected yesterday by the
Commissioners and the members OF the
board Of education. The building was
found in excellent condition, with the eX-
ception OF a few minor details. which viii
be corrected by the contractor at once.
The completion Of this addition 70 the
school meets the immediate needs Of the
institution. Commissioner Macfarland
said it would be necessary for the Com
missioners to include in their estimates
for the next budget provisions for the
further enlargement Of the building.
Notwithstanding the fact that the grad
uating class Of the school this year was
smaller than usual, the popularity OF the
institution as a factor in the manual
training and education Of the youth OF
the city grows each year, necessitating
extensive enlargements in the near fu-
ture, which the Commissioners win en-
deavor 10 obtain from Congress.
