MURDER SUSPEC
Is A CHINA|MAN
CONVENTION
IS Held at Gypsy BY the Sun
day Schools of Clay
District.

SHINNSToN. June 19-The larg-
est number of people ever attending
ia Sunday school convention in Clay
district assembled yesterday at Gyp-
sy for the seventeenth anunatsession
of the Clay District Sunday School
Association. The entire program
was we'll rendered and attentively
listened to. Every one to whom
parts were assigned were present
with one exception, the Rev. Mr..
Moore. of Boothsville. His place
was fllled by fancy Harrison, OF
Clarksburg, secretary of the county
association, who gave very inter-
est!ng talk on : temperance. His
statement that the cost of criminal
prosecution in Harrison county,
caused directly or indirectly ny
drunkenness, amounts to about one
thousand dollars each day the GRIM
inal court Is In session, struck tn,
minds of the people most forcbIy.
This statement should cause much
thought among the tax payers and
voters of this county. It would be
hard to mention all the good things
said by the different speakers but
the lecture, Jerusalem and Its En-
vironments," given by BENJAMIN f.
Ramage, OF Fairmont. deserves spe-
cial mention, as 1t was probably the
most interesting number on the
program to Sunday school workers.
"A. C. Fortney was elected presi-
dent to succeed Charles L. Wat
k1ns; James Bayles, vice-president,
and Miss Josephine Harmer, secre-
tary, were reelected.
The big basket dinner on the old
camp ground was onejof the most
ENJOYABLE events of the day. and it
was the one in. which all present
took part.
Those present from other dis
trlcts were the Rev. w. M. Long.

Elsie Sigel Case the Most Re
markable in the Last
Several Years.
SUSPECT GOES AWAY
But Police Hope TO Interccpl
Him Before He Reaches
Vancouver.

NEW YORK. June 19-The MUIR
der of Miss Elsie Sigel grand
daughter OF General Trans Sigel.
whose body was found last night
crowded into trunk in a room OF a
Chinese house, after she had been
strangled with curtain cord APP
pears to be the most remarkable
case the New York police have had
to investigate in many years.
One odd phase OF the tragedy is
the failure Of the murdered girls
father. Paul sigel, to identify the
body as that of his daughter, while
the girls mother declared the arti-
cles OF .jewelry found in the room
belonged to Elsie Sigel.
Acquaintance of Miss Sigel. who
have seen the body of the murdered
girl. assert It is that of Miss sigel,
and q number of persons have been
found by the police. who declare
the young woman had been a friend
of chipaman William L.. Leon, in
whose room the body was found.
Leon is still unbound today, as is
also Chung Sin, who occupied a
room adjoining that of Leon.
Today the police gave out the re-
port that Leon and Chung Sin sailed
last Friday for Vancouver. B. C.
Precautions have been taken to
intercept the steamer at an inter-
mediate point, II possible.
Miss Florence Todd. one of the
missionary workers in the Chinese
section, told the police Miss Sigel
and the chinaaiail were thrown
much together and that Leon was
greatly enamoured of the girl.
That Leon had other correspond.
ents than Miss slgel was discovered
when about two thousand letters;
mainly from various women in New
York and other cities, were found
in his room. Among the number
some were signed ''EIsie," which are
described by the police pol. !. as love let
