Is in effect the latest order sent out by

ceipt of letter Ntoday to Assistant

that Leon came to this country IL
years ago with Chinese theatrical

women for years, the letter said, and
Is an expert at assuming the roles of
female characters. His most intimate

has been in cities where Chinese wo-
men openly appear on the streets, as
in San Francisco, have been fooled by
him. He has used this training to ac.
compnsh his purpose in many of the
plots in which he is known to have
been involved.
From Washington it is thought that
Leon went to New Orleans, and then
