"if our boys are guilty It is the fault
of the girls
When the Cinnamon were tried
the court room was thronged with
we'll dressed women.
Magistrate Furlong became angry
at them. said he. in open court:
'"rhe Chinese Sunday school is
simply makeshift for these fellows
to acquire a knowledge of English,
1 haven't any patience with this
maudlin sympathy which induces
missions and sunday schools to send
their young women here with fruits,
flowers and cigarettes for these Mon
golians. | deplore the sickly condi-
ton of American womanhood that
permits itself to be lTS into such
folly"
When mission workers who think
they get to the bottom of the Chi
nese character are badly fooled, say
the New York police. Cinnamon who
seem to tell their teachers all about
their lives and relations belong to
secret Chinese societies.
The high caste Cinnamon flock to
the Sunday school that has the pret-
lttSt ltdCHeI. II d low NdSNt 'lllllei-
man begins to gain the sympathy of
the teacher one of the high caste
men will go to him, according to a
policeman in Chinatown, and tell him
to stay away from Sunday school.
And the pretty Sunday school teacher
will wonder why she has lost another
pupil.
Two weeks ago, Captain Calvin OF
the district i'm which Chinatown is
situated ordered all the white girls on
Mott street to move. over $50 girls
left quarters which they had been oc-
cupying wl;h Cinnamon.
There is a police rule in China
town now that only white girls who
are the wives of Cinnamon can live
i'm the district Cinnamon who have
white wives are supposed to be 50
grateful for this police favor that
they will reciprocate by preventing
the sale of opium to white girls who
come into the district
In spite of this rule there are hun
dreds of white girls of various social
degrees who visit Chinatown nightly

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE
OF GIRL s MURDER
IN CHINATOWN
Letters and Threats Against
Gil and Chinamdn
Are Held by
Police
BELIEVE LEON
MAY Be IN CUBA
Woman in Chinese Quarter said
She Heard Chindmdn Sd
That Leon Would Go
TO the Island at
Once.

Newk York, June 24-A fresh
crop Of theories as to the motive for
the murder of Miss Elsie Sigel,
" hose oody was found in trunk in
the room of Leon Ling in the Chi
rese quarter, was brought out today.
one of these develops from the story
of Gnu Gain, who it is believed, was
a rival for the affections Of Miss
Sigel
Gain received threats from Leon
that unless he ceased his attentions
t. the girl, both he and the girl
would be killed. Gain said also that
he received d warning from his
brother, said to emanate from Leon,
to the effect that death would fol-
low further attentions to the girl.
The exact cause of the girls death
is still in the dark because the body
is so far decomposed that eXamina-
tion is impossible.
That Miss Sigel was the innocent
victim of Chinese ruffians is the lat
est theory of the police. 1t is now
believed that the girl, who was
friendly to the Chinese in her mis-
sionary work, was enticed to Leon :
room and murdered because she
would not submit to Icons en-
treaties.
A further theory is that Leon
drugged the girl before killing her
which is borne out by the handker-
chief story of Chung Sin, who said
he saw Leon kill the girl
The threatening letters received by
Chu Gain were turned over to the
district attorney this morning. Aside
from the fact that they contain
threats, their contents We're not made
public.
The suggestion that Leon may
have gone to Cuba is advanced by a
white woman in Chinatown, who said
she heard a Chinaman express the
belief that Leon is in Cuba.

WARNING TO Girls.

New York, June 24.-The murder
of Elsie Sigel brings up again the old
time mystery of the fascination the
Oriental character has for white
women.
- would rather see my daughter
dead-if / had nne-thar see her
married to Chinaman," said Mrs.
Florence Todd, the oldest Chinese
mission worker in New York.
Elsie Sigel used to come TO the
rescue home very often She spoke
to me many times about Leon. whom
the police say strangled her and hid
her body in trunk i'm his room.
81 didn't think she was in love
with him She was such a deyout
mission worker, and she declared 50
many times that God had called her
to help save the souls of the China
men. that ! thought her infatuatiou
| for Leon was only the love that a
teacher might have for her pupil.
81 don't believe i'm young girls
teaching Cinnamon. The Oriental
character seems to hold a fascination
for young American girls, after they
once come in contact with H.
IL think ii is dangerous for white
girls to go to Chinese chop suey
houses or ON stunning trips to Chi
neSc sections. There is something
50 bland and attractive about Chi
naman, especially after ne is partially
,duratcd that tho attraction is full
Of danger"
The SigeI case is the first known in
New York Of white girls love for a
! Chinaman leading to murder.
Many of these love cases have
arisen and ended in that matrimony
which Mrs Florence Todd says is
worse than death.
