ELLA GINGLES
MAY CLEAR UP
HOTEL MYSTERY
IRISH GIRL is PLACED ON TRIAL
IN CHICAGO FOR ALLEGED
LACE THEFT.
TO TELL OF HOTEL EPISODE.
Story of kidnapping and Binding Her to
Bathtub Will Probably Come
Out in Testimony.
CORONER TO SPRING SENSATION?

CHICAGO, H., June 30.-When Ella
Gingles is placed on trial here late to-
lay, it is promised by her attorney.
2. II. O'Donnell, that the sensational
mystery surrounding the finding of his
client bound gagged ard unconscious in
4 public bathroom at the Wilmington no
lei last winter will be cleared up.
Ella Gingles, an Irish girl who came to
Chicago, it is said. from Canada, first
came into public notice q year ago, when
she was charged by Miss Agnes Bar
rett, her employer, of purloining certain
articles from the compliments lace
shop, to the value of $50.
Much Sympathy for Girl.
Much sympathy for the girl was
aroused. Irish societies and several So
ciety women took an interest in her
case and secured an attorney to defend
aer. Many believed her story that she
was the victim of a conspiracy.
\ few months later, the Wellington
hotel incident occurred. Miss GingleS
told remarkable story of having been
kidnapped by Il man and a woman in
cab and dragged to the bathroom
where she was found bound to the tub.
Details of her narrative failed of con-
6rmation at least at that time. She is
to be tried now on the theft charge.
Attorney ODOnnel stated that not
only would this episode be cleared up,
but that light would be shed on the
sudden death a few days ago of Mrs.
Cecilia Kenyon, a close friend of Mis-,
Barrett and the states principal witness
in the trial scheduled for today. Mrs.
Kenyon died suddenly at a roadhouse on
the southern outskirts of the city.

flying at the coroner's inquest which in
alleged perfunctory fashion is said to

heart disease. This mans name is
known to Coroner Hoffman, it is said,
but has not been made public. He is
said to stand high, both politically and
commercially in Chicago.
Mr.. O'Donnell also promised that he
would show that all of his clients trOu-
bies had been due to an attempt to force
her into a life which her womanhood

CHUNG TRICKS POLICE.
Chinaman Has Concealed knowledge
of Sigel Murder.

NEW YORK, June 3O-The follow
ing of the zigzag trail of the trunk con-
tanning the body of Elsie Sigel on the
day following her murder has resulted
in the implication of seven Cinnamon,
all of whom, while not actually accused
of having had hand in the killing
of the young woman, are suspected of
having had knowledge of the crime and
of the efforts of Leon Ling to dispose
of the body.
Only one of the seven, Chung Sin,
is in custody. Of the others, Wah Lee,
the laundryman TO whose place in 10th
street the trunk was first taken, has
disappeared, and Lee Sing, the restau-
rant keeper in Newark, n. J., is under
surveillance. The four Cinnamon who
were in the room adjoining that in
which the trunk stood when the ex-
pressman called to remove the trunk to
Wah Lees laundry have not been iden-
tilted. Logan, the expressman, will be
taken to the house of detention to see
if he can identify Chung Sin, Icons
roommate, as one of the quartette.
The police and district attorney are
satisfied that Chung Sin has triclIed
them at almost every point. What he
concealed is believed to be vastly more
important than what he has revealed.

This law of faith extends to af-

Himself is wrapped in clouds. This
law extends to the will, since we
must defer to the naked authority of
Gods commands Now, if God ex-
plains this sickness or that bank
ruptcy, this bereavement or that sor-
row, there could be no exercise of
faith, and the law of the whole econ

be completely reversed.
Heaven is the state and place of re-
wards and praise. In order that we
may apprehend its joys and the re-

in all its connections. And the word
praise indispensably requires that
we embalm in song our whole expert

Casualty company of New York was
shot and instantly killed by Donald NJ
Balm, 4 leading insurance man of At

Tuesday afternoon.
The tragedy was caused by placard
on Williams desk, stating that he was
out of town, In Milledgeville." The
state asylum for the insane is located
at Milledgeville and Williams resented
the placard and is said to have charged
Balm with being responsible for it. In
the quarrel that followed, Williams
slapped Bain's face.

that way" Balm is stated to have said

LIVING FOR ONES SELF.
By Rev. Frank M. G.

By Rev. Frank M. Goodchild.
For none of us liveth to himself,
and no man dieth to himself.-Ro-
mans 14:7.
Nobody is independent. All human
lives are inseparably joined. Things
we said yesterday will be recalled with
pleasure or pain by somebody twenty
years from now. What we did last
week will make somebody better or
worse when our bodies have been turn
ed to dust.
Life is rather solemn business. No
body is so insignificant as to be with
out influence. Most Of us would be
filed with horror If we could read
the record of our lives and see how
word we spoke carelessly started
some one on the way to ruin. And it
would fill us with bliss that is like
heaven itself If we could see that there
are persons who date all the good there
is in their lives to some kindly deed
Of ours done simply from impulse.
However much we may wish at
times that we could do as we please
without our deeds affecting the lives
of others, yet a moments thought will
make us glad that human lives are
thus bonded together. There is dig
nifty in life when we feel that a hun
dred years from now men may be bet
ter for our having lived. And, on the
other hand, there is responsibility in
living, since after we are gone men
may be worse for our misdeeds It
doubtless would be more pleasing If
our goodness might bless others with
out our badness cursing them. But
you cannot have one side without the
other, any more than you can have
light without shadow. If 1t is right
that men should be able to help one an
other, it must be right, because it is
part Of the same arrangement that
they should be able to hurt one an
other.
Sometimes we Intentionally influence
people, as when we argue with a man
to bring him to our views, but perhaps
the mighttest influence Is exerted IN
consciously. AS the iceberg chills the
air for miles around it, or as the
honeysuckle makes the air about it
heavy with fragrance, so men radiate
helpful or hurtful influences. Our
character, whatever it may be, is conta-
gious.
1T was said by man who was dy-
ing: ooh, that my influence might be
gathered up and buried with me-" That
cannot be, however much we wish it.
Our influence goes on blessing or blast
Ing people forever. OF another man
1t was said: His presence always
made men better" What fine thing
that 1s-to have such a character that
when you meet people you make them
wish to be nobler, purer, truer.

SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONS.
BY Clarence L. Cullen.
~O~~NNN-NN~

Favorite feminine Bromidion: "All
men are perfect boobies when they're
sick abed."
The man who permits his wife to
designate certain little spot In the
house as the one place in which he
shall smoke deserves all that he gets
and he never fails to get 1t.
Slathers of married women get in
bad by needing the queer advice OF
Lady Pensmiths (mostly spinsters)
whose dictum is that the proper way
to hold a husband is to hold him at
arms length.
The highly exalted faithfulness of
women often is matter of plain pol
icy. Plenty of careless men would
strictly toe the faithful mark if their
reward for so doing were to be agree
ably taken care of for life.
The man who knows the difference
at sight between a $25 embroidered
shirtwaist and one of those cute lit
tie ruffle-front $1.48 shirtwaists usu-
ally is a male person whose opinion
isn't worth valuing anyhow.
1t is the woman who shrieks at
Central through the phone and calls
her a saucy hussy and such like who
wonders why 1t is that telephone girls
are 50 much more polite and prompt
In responding to mems calls.
Familiar quotation: ooh, I've got
plenty of leftover summer clothes,
dearie. All I'll need to exc out will
be a few little linen suits and seven
or eight more shirtwaists and three or
four summary hats and some tan and
champagne-colored shoes and a new
supply of silk stockings-just a few
little odds and ends like thosel"
Did you ever feel kind of onery
and things with yourself when, after
blowing s7.S5 on a bunch Of cheer
full workers, you went home and found
her lacking some frizzled old sweet
peas on a last years hat frame?
Extract from The Dairy of a Neg
lected Wife" "'Tis now midsummer,
and my birthday Is in December and
my husband hasn't said one word
about 1t yet, nor what he is going to
get me. Gracious power, give me the
strength to go on enduring"

RUSSIA TO SEIZE
PERSIAN CAPITAL,

ST. PETERSBURG, June 3O.-The
occupation of Teheran, the capital of
Persia, by Russian military expedition
is regarded in we'll informed circles as a
distinct possibility of the near future.
The latest advices received here from
Teheran indicate that the British and
the Russian consuls sent out to negotiate
with the leader of the Bakhtiari forces,
advancing against Teheran from the
south, failed to obtain the desired assur-
ances that the march would be stayed,
and that the BakhtiariS, who are acting
in complete accord with the Caucasian
and Persian revOlutioniStS are expected
shortly to resume the offensive from
kasbin.
The Russian foreign office considers
that the entrance of the Bakhtiars into
Teheran would not only involve street
h t and pillage on a great scale,
but also the lives of the members of
the diplomatic corps and the foreign res
1dents of Teheran. The government,
will, if necessity arises, undertake all
measures that may be required for the
protection of Russian lives and inter
ests. The crisis is expected to come
to a head within a fortnight
The only force upon which the Per
sian government can depend for the de-
fence of Teheran consists of about 1900
Persian Cossacks. This brigade might
stand off the Bakhtiaris alone, il spite
of the fact that the tribes are provided
with artillery, but if the city were at
tackled in the rear by another force sue
cessful defence would be impossible
The foreign office has very poor opin-
ion of the motives of the so-called liberal
forces of Persia. Many of the leaders
are actuated more by a desire for loot
than liberty. Sardarasad, the leader of
the Bakhtiaris, is reputed to have de-
signs on the throne and his followers in
clude men of the most savage and dis
orderly type.
While the situation at Teheran is,
threatening and critical, the Turks con-
tinue their activity to the northwest.
