While Carey was quizzing the little
Chinese RESTAURANT keeper his detectives
were looking high and low. grubbing in all
the hidyholes OF Chinatown for the Six
Little Lees despatch to the police
from Washington yesterday made the
presence of the Six Little Lees imperative.

stayed on the window in large red letters.
Sam had died or gone to California years
ago. the neighbors said Recently the
laundry has been run by six Cinnamon
known in Chinatown a. the Lee Company.
Two Of the Lees disappeared about ten
days ago, the police heard. but the four
others were in town.
The detectives for some reason were
pretty slow in getting around 70 SO
Bayard street. They were so slow that
they were too late Long before any

likely they had skpped home.
In one Of the rooms on the third hoor
a very old Chinaman was minding q very

cap and purple padded coat ornarnented
with rampa geois dragons worked with
gold thread. He said sleepily that the

They had theory ready enough that
Leung had made arrangements to get

Carey refused to say whether he had
heard from Washington about the con.
