CHINESE TO CONCEAL LEON
Government Said to Have Ordered
Protection by Oriental Societies.
CoNsUL's REPORT FAvoRs HIM
Says Elsie sigel Went TO Chinaman's
Room and Killed Herself, Leon
Fleeing Through Fear
of Mob.

DENVER, Colo July H-That Elsie
Sigel took poison with suicidal intent in
Leon Ling's room in New York city is
the statement made in the official court
bulletin of Peking, China, a copy of which
has reached Denver. This statement is
made in a report to the Chinese govern
ment by the Chinese consul in New York
city, who was ordered to investigate the
reported murder of Elsie Sigel by Leon
Ling.
The bulletin was translated by Lee
Wing, a leader of the Chinese colony In
Denver. According to Lee, when this re-
port went to Peking, orders were issued
by the head OF the Chinese Masons, who
acted with Nhe consent Of the government,
that the fugitive Ling should be protected
by all Chinese all over r-.tee world.
Chinese consuls In America were Sc
cretly communicated with, and until ac-
acknowledgement is made by the New York
responsible for the death Of Miss Sigel.
he will be protected.
A Chinese newspaper, having the Chinese
governments sanction, has reached Den
yer, in which the report of the Chinese
consul in New York is printed in full.
This report followed an investigation made
at the direction Of the Peking authorities
The report states that Elsie Sigel came to
Leon Ling's room and, In a moment OF
desperation, took her own life by poison
Ling, the report states, was absent at the
time and found the dead body upon his
return. Frightened by the discovery, he
called Chung Sin, and advised him that
should he Ging) tell the truth to the
police regarding the finding OF the body
he would not be believed and probably
would be lynched Frightened by this
view OF the case, Ling adopted desperate
his own whereabouts.
The report of the Chinese consul at New
York embodying these statements was sem
to Peking more than three weeks ago.
The report is evidently regarded by thu
! Chinese authorities as revealing the trut
| facts of the case and the Chinese Masoni
are given permission and encouraged t
conceal Leon Ling.
A member OF the Chinese colony herr
said today:
''Only God can find Leon Ling now. H
is under the protection of Masons and 4
being aided by them in his effort Il
escape the police. Unless further fact
come TO light proving his guilt, he vii
never be delivered to the officers by hi
own people"
The Chinese here intimate that any as
surance by the Chinese government tina
the Chinese Of this country will aid in tn
search for the fugitive should be takel
with a grain of salt.

Fraternal Order
Would Retaliate
Home Guardians Ask Exclusion of
Five Iowa Companies Because It
Is Barred from That State.

PIERRE, s. D., July H-(special Tele-
gram.) i'm the hearing before Insurance
Commissioner Basford today the Home
Guardians of Mitchell, South Dakota
fraternal company, asked for the exclusion
OF the Modern Brotherhood Of America,
Mystic Toilers, Homesteaders and Yeomen,
all Iowa companies, from the state. 1t
appears the South Dakota company was
barred from Iowa on the ground that it's
rates were not up to those provided by
the fraternal congress as adequate. They
all agreed that the above-named Iowa COM
panies we're not requiring such rates and
asked for their exclusion from this state
in retaliation. After an all-day hearing
Insurance Commissioner Basford an
nounced that he would withhold his de-
cision pending examination OF law points
raised in the hearing, but would say that
he did not expect to give a decision which
would affect licenses already given to the
defendant companies, but could not say
what he would hold IN regard to licenses
for future years.

to Attend Ceremony.

WATSEKA, ILL.,, July 14.-Mrs. ]. B. Say
Ter, widow OF the banker who was shot
and killed by Dr. Miller Sunday at Cres-
cent City was not allowed to attend
her husbands funeral today. The sheriff,
who has her N custody on the supposition
that she may have been an accomplice OF
her husbands slayer, kept her away from
the funeral because her attendance would
probably subject her to insult, and might
revive talk OF lynching DIR. Miller.
The funeral of Mr.. Sayler, which was
held at Crescent City, was largely at
tended. Many floral tributes were made
by friends of the dead man. Coda Sayler,
his daughter, was chief mourner.

ten a letter 10 his wife, who is now with
her people at Biairsville, Pa, with her
parents, asking her to come to him. The
contents of the letter have not been made
public.
BLAIRSVILLE, Pa, July H-Mrs. Mil
ler, wife of the slayer of Banker Sayler
at Crescent City, ILL.,, is here, and says
that II her husband asks her to go to him
she will comply with his request, and for
give his alleged infidelity TO her.
Mrs. Miller says she has known for two
years OF the relations between her hus-
band and Mrs. Sayler, but like Mr.. Say
Ter, that she kept silent on account of her
children.
She says she made one appeal to Mrs.
Sayler to break off the relation with her
husband and that Mrs. Sayler merely
laughed in her face.

E[[ENSbURG MAN
CORNERS HAY
kLIENBERG HOLDS CALL ON TO-
900 TONS WITH PRICE FORCED
TO So2-COAST HOUSES FIGHT
SHIP TIMOTHY FROM SOUTH

Ellensburg, Dec. 13.-What is
pronounced by prominent hay men as
the biggest timothy hay corner in the
history of the northwest is held by
Henry Kleinberg of Ellensburg Mr..
Weinberg is said to hold more than
10000 tons of Kittitas valley hay in
his own and private barns and ware
houses in the valley. A short crop in
Montana and elsewhere has aided
this gigantic corner. Others estimate
Mr.. Kleinberg's holdings in Ellens-
burg at 5000 tons.
The shortage of hay in Seattle is
said to be acute Already hundreds
of tons have been shipped into the
Puget sound city by boats from San
Francisco to break this corner. The
price of hay has gone to $22 a ton
f b Ellensburg, and unless Mr..
Kleinberg loosens it, many say it will
go higher
1t is generally reported that Gal
braith, Bacon & Co. of Seattle are
with Mr. Kleinberg in this corner
Against this combination are all hay
men of the northwest, including the
biggest houses in Seattle, Portland,
Spokane and Tacoma The fight has
been going on quietly for months, but
every party has had its hand con-
cealed until today. BY pooling in
terests the opposition thought they
had the corner broken few weeks
ago, but the burning of Stevens ware
house in Tacoma with 1000 tons of
hay shortened the stock on hand to
such an extent that the corner has
held
Opposition forces are now under
stood to be relying on a continuation
of the railway strike to aid them in
breaking the corner Mr. Kleinberg's
hay is all stored in kittitas valley
warehouses and a continuation of the
strike would make it practically i'm
possible to make early deliveries.
Opponents say that if the strike
continues and more hay continues to
be shipped from California there will
be no market for such a vast quantity
of hay as is stored here.
At the present value of $22 ton
the hay on hand would be worth
1926, 900. If Mr.. Kleinberg's holdings
total 5000 tons, as others state. the
hay he has on hand is worth $780,
900. Every dollar the price ad-
vances means approximately $4,000
to the Ellensburg man. Mr. Klein
berg's hay was purchased at prices
ranging from SIC to $40 a ton.
