HEINOUS CRIME
General Franz Sigel's Grand
daughther the Unfortunate
Victim.
Christianity Cloak for Crime by
Converted Chinaman.
Girl a Settlement Worker.

A most heinous crime was discovered
Last Friday afternoon when the body
of Miss Elsie Sigel, granddaughter Of
the we'll known General was found in
a steamer trunk in Chinese
restaurant, 1872 8th ave-, New York.
The first traces were found by Leung,
an aged Chinaman, when he saw
trick]e of blood flow from, under the
door of Icons room and Immediately
notified the police.
Leon and another christianized
Chin man are suspected OF having
committed the crime. Evidence now
in the hands of the police indicate that
Miss Sigel had become greatly
interested in Leon Ling since her
entrance into settlement work among
the Chinese three years ago. 1t is
also indicated that of late another
Chinaman had entered largely into
her life.
The crime must have been committed
in the luxuriously furnished oriental
room of the Chinese. The body was
damned in the trunk partially wrapped
in sheet gave evidence that the girl
had been garroted.
About the neck was loop of light
rope, to which was affixed long
strand that had been used to bind the
limbs close to the body with the chin
on the knees. The body was in a
terrible condition and the girl had
evidently been dead for week. Light
underclothing clothed the body and
only part of the girls outer garments
could be found in the room.
Miss Sigel left her parents home
on June 9. Her whereabouts from
that time until the finding of her bat
tered body in the trunk are unknown.
Her father, Paul Sigel, was worried
about her and was relieved on June
IL by the receipt of a telegram, dated
Washington, which read:
''Will be home Sunday evening.
Don't worry. Elsie.''
Elsie Sigel, who was Il years old,
had for the past three years been
associated with her mother, who for
Is years has been missionary worker
among the Chinese and Japanese.
Outside of her home life all of her
time was spent in settlement work.

was found, the police assert was q

an agitated parent is seen running

possible Identification of the body
was made by the girls mother, follow

"My God! Elsie!" cried the mother,

WIND AND WAVES.
4 Gales Action Upon Water, Desert
Sand and Prairie Snow.

a Gales Action Upon Water, Desert
Sand and Prairie Snow.
There are wind waves In the water,
sand and snow. The great sea waves
are produced at that part Of cyclone
where the direction Of the wind coin
cides with the direction Of advance Of
the depression. Along this line Of ad-
vance the waves in their progress are
accompanied by strong wind blowing
across their ridges as long as the at
mospheric depression is maintained.
So the waves are developed until they
become steep. The average height In
feet is about half the velocity Of the
wind in miles.
A wind of fifty-two miles an hour
gives waves Of an average height Of
twenty-six feet, although individual
waves will attain height Of forty
feet. The prevailing wind in all longi-
tudes is westerly, SO wherever a west
erly wind springs up it finds long
westerly swell, the effect Of previous
wind still running, and the principal
effect Of the newly born wind is to
increase the steepness Of the already
running long swell so as to form
majestic storm waves, which some
times attain length Of 1900 feet
from crest to crest. The longest swells
due to wind are almost invisible dur
ing storms, for they are masked by
the shorter and sleeper waves, but
they emerge into view after or beyond
the storm
The action Of the wind to drift dry
sand in a procession OF waves is seen
in the deserts. AS the sand waves
cannot travel by gravitation, their
movements are entirely controlled by
the wind, and they are therefore much
simpler and more regular in form and
movement than ocean waves. In their
greatest heights Of several hundred
feet the former become more complex
owing to the partial consolidat ton OF
the lower layers Of sand by pressure
but they still have the characteristic
wave features.
In the Winnipeg prairies Of Canads
freshly fallen snow is drifted by wind
in procession Of regular waves, pro
crossing with visible and ghostlikt
motion. They are similar to deser

tar1H SESSION 6 tue e0OrI OF senator
Smoot Of Utah to copy all Of Senator
Aldrich's mannerisms. He will lose
his temper in debate and be as over
bearing as Senator Aldrich IL opportu-
nifty offers, and he will wag his head In
unison with Senator Aldrich, always
taking care, however, to see first which
way Aldrich is wagging.
For high tragedy the senate looks
unanimously to Senator La Toilette Of
Wisconsin. In the course Of his long
speeches he will touch every chord of
the human emotions. He needs wide
range Of floor space on which to enact
bodily what his mind is thinking and
his voice is saying. He will stand
erect and then sink his upper body
below the level Of the desk beside him
while he raises one of the Dingley
rates, fguratively speaking, from the
floor to the ceiling in illustration of
what he charges Senator Aldrich's
committee with having done. Let Sen
ator Gallinger, Smoot or Aldrich in
terrupt him, and he will stiffen, bend
forward as far as his desk will let
him and then, extending his arm full
length, shake his fist in the senator's
face while breathing words Of defiance.
A close second to Senator La Pollette
in dramatic delivery is Senator Cum
Minis Of Iowa. The Iowan is not as
strenuous in his delivery, but he has a
hating method Of speaking his words,
usually stopping them in the middle,
which, coupled with a high pitched
tense voice and a certain grace of ges-
ture, also robs him Of some effective
ness in public speaking. Furthermore,
the lowan is not quite as thorough on
facts and figures as Senator La Fol-
lette, but is as good as any when 1t
comes to stating offhand the funda-
mental principles of tariff revision. AS
he becomes more and more at home In
the senate he improves.
As a basis for display Of oratory
Senator Beveridge Of Indiana, who is
noted for this accomplishment, has
been lost in the tariff debate. He has
taken the subject as a plain, matter
Of fact business proposition and re-
Trained from displaying his powers Of

SENATORIAL ORATORY
Various Styles Exhibited In the
Tariff Debate.
D0LLIvER THE REAL ORATOR.

Iowa Statesman Well Able to Take
Care Of Himself In Rough and Tum-
BILE Debates-Senator AIdrich and
His lmitator, smoot-La Toilette For
High Tragedy.
There are as many styles of oratory
in the United States senate as there
are senators who declaim in that body,
and all styles have been displayed in
this tariff debate.
Senator Aldrich Of Rhode Island
himself has made one ''set' speech
since the tariff discussion began, but
it did not SAVIOR of the oratorical. He
is too full Of facts and figures, too in
tent on the "short cut" to give vent to
a rounded sentence which has been
FURNISHED so as to be worthy of preser-
walton as an oratorical gem. Aside
from his language, Senator Aldrich has
peculiar style, equally his own, of
getting rid of what he has to say. He
has so grown into the habit Of knitting
his brows that one of his friends who
sat in the senate gallery the other day
remarked, "Aldrich is rapidly losing
his good looks" This faculty Of frown.
ing, combined with what Representative
Bennett of New York has caused to be
known in Washington as albany tao
tics'' of debate, is among the main
characteristics of Senator Aldrich's
style. albany tactics" translated,
means, "Never say anything you can't
take back or deny" Senator Aldrich
is hard to tie down.
When somebody else Is speaking and
says something with which the SEN
ator is in hearty accord he will nod
his head vigorously. On the other
hand, If he does not agree with the re-
marks Of the speaker he will wag his
head sideways, which is the signal for
all the Aldrich camp to 60 into action.
