NEW CLUE IN
 POLICE SEARCH
 FOR LEON LING
fspecial from United Press.


 New York, July 7.-Another story is now under investigation by the police ln their search for the slayer of Elsie SiSel. The new clue is based on the >theGy that Leon Ling, the missing Ehinaman, was killed at the same time that Elsie Sige1 was stranged in Leon's room and that Chinaman who com nitted sthe double murder took the body of Leon to New Haven, Conn.,, in a trunk on June 9 or 10.
 The information that leads the police to this line of investigation was un- earthed by Miss Rose Livingston, a missionary worker who had been working with Captain Carey of the Homicide Bureau in his efforts to un- ravel the mystery Miss Livingston told Captain Carey that she learned in Chinatown that the Chinaman with the trunk left for New Haven on the steamer Richard Peck and that she had been told he went to Fall River from New Haven. Captain Carey com rnunicated with Chief of Police Cowles of New Haven and asked him to trace tf1e clues.

PRISONER TELLS
 STORY OF LIFE
MOST REMARKABLE CASE MAG. ISTRATE CRANE HAS EVER
 HAD TO DEAL WITH
Is Locked Up for Arson
Wright ConfeSses to Burning His Art Stores in New York, Providence, Quebec, Spokane and AmeSbury- Held fn Default of $1O,OOO to Await Action of Grand Jury
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.) New York July 7.-Confessing that
 he had burned successively his art stores in this city, Providence, R. l., Quebec, Spokane and Amesbury, Mass, James Hunter Wright who last night asked to be locked up on a charge of arson, told a most remark able story to Magistrate Crane in the Tombs court to-day, when arraigned. The evidence and the mans story showed that he would probably never have been convicted on any charge but he said, My conscience has been troubling me for years and a great relief has followed by confession feel that this will cleanse my record before the world and I am willing to do penance.''
 Wright is a man about 50 years of age, gray haired and mild looking. He said that he had slept last night for the first time in years and that he is glad to be in jail. With a clear voice, the prisoner told the story of his life to Magistrate'C Crane who declared that 1t was the most remarkable case he had ever had to deal with.
 At the age of nine he was left an orphan, said the prisoner, and was adopted by the Rev. Alexander Fisher, his uncle, an Episcopal clergyman of Massachusetts. Later he moved to She1bOurne Falls, Mass, where he met a man named Harvey and the two de- cided to go into the art business to- gether. He and Harvey moved to New York in 1904 and started an art goods house on upper Broadway. On De- csmber 26, 1905, the prisoner said he set fire to the place and he and Harvey moved the goods they had saved to Providence where they opened anoth- CT store. There was no insurance on the New York stock he said and he had just burned the place because business was bad.
 At Providence there was another fire and they collected $203 insurance.Then they moved to Quebec where there was another fire in four weeks. The next store was opened at Spokane and a fire there put them out of busi- ness. J
 "we owed s21 ,0oo when we left Spo- kane, said Wright, land then we op- ened a store in Amesbury, Mass, where there was another fire after we had been there three months. We got some insurance on this fire.
 Then we separated and came to New York in 1907 I set all the fires and was not under the influence of Harvey. He did not even know about the fires until after they had occurred
 Wright acted as a process server for several attorneys after his return to New York. His cousin, Alexander Fisher, said that he had been moody or 3eat well. Assistant District At torney Turmbell said that the confes- sion was voluntary and regular and Wright was held in jail in default of s1O,O00 bail to await the action of the Grand Jury.

 Special from Unted Press.)
 Washington, July 7.-When the Sen ators assembled to-day to take the final votes on the tariff bill prepara. tory to sending it back to the House with the hundreds of amendments that have been tackled on it. they were refreshed by brisk, cooling breeze and seemed in the best of health and spirits. Senator Aldrich was on his feet immediately after routine business had been disposed of, to announce the program of the day. It was his plan to have all of the amendments which had been agreed to by the Senate sit ting as committee of the whole and to which there was no objection adopted with a single vote. Senators were invited to mention such of the amendments as they wished to be made subject to special consideration and separate votes. After the com- m1ttee amendment had been disposed of he said, individual Senators might propose their own amendments for ac- tion. ~
 Half a dozen Senators arose to make their reservations from the list of com mittee amendments and nearly an hour was spent in setting aside paragraphs in sections which are to be voted upon separately.
 Senator Bailey of Texas headed the list with the request that the cor poratfon tax provision be set aside He will offer the Bailey-Cummins income tax amendment as a substitute for the provision. Hepburn (Republican Idaho,) reserved zinc and Stone, Oem- ocrat. Missouri.) hides and leather Beveridge of Indiana, named watch movements although he said perhaps he would reach an agreement with the finance committee on that article He also held out steel rails. Penrose and Oliver of Pennsylvania held out plate glass and McLaurin of Mississippi. farming implements.
 Some other reservations included Cotton-ties and meats, sugar. wool waste and shoddy, the Philippine sec. tion, maximum and minimum customs cost, and countervailing duty, moving picture films. chalk. sugar and writing paper. tariff commission, mineral wa ters, tiles. asphalt, earthen, ware sfSel plates. chrome, models of inventions and clay. glue. gypsum, figs, raisins and entrants, flax fabrics, brushes, dolls, wooden goods and scrap rubber.

WILDER CAUTIONS
 COMMISSIONERS
TOO OFTEN THEY USE BAD JUDGMENT IN APPOINTING
 SPECIAL POLICE
Special Loperci Fined $500
Had Personal Controversy With Two Painters, Whom He Threatened
 With His Police Authorfty-He
 Takes An Appeal.

'"Too often do the Police Commis- sioners appoint special officers with out reasonable cause, and these men often display a lack of discretion in using the privileges granted them. The officers must be more guarded in ex- ordinary citizen, and must understand that they will not be upheld when they intimidate a man with whom they have controversy of personal na- ture.''
 Thus did Judge Wilder speak this morning when imposing fine of $5 and costs upon Special Officer Loper- cio for breach of peace. He was also charged with assault, but a nolle was entered to this charge. Attorney Charles Shapiro asked for an appeal, which was granted under bonds of $50.
 The trouble arose some time ago when two painters, Hendlesohn and Forese, were working on house In North Washington avenue, adjoining the dwelling in which Lopercio lived. The scaffolding used in painting the house hung over Lopercio's property. and Lopercio objected to the drops of paint falling on his land. The of ficer showed his badge and, according to the testimony of a little girl, threat ened the painters with a revolver, but realizing that he was going too far, put it back into his pocket. Judge Wilder dismissed the assault charge, but found Lopercio guilty of breach Of peace The case will be reviewed in the Common Pleas court next Septem- her
