NEW YORK. June 21.-Detective How
lett Of the Washington police department
| came to New York today to impart to
the detective bureau secret information
which may lead to the capture Of the
Chinaman who murdered Elsie Sigel, who
was killed after strange and obscure
love affair with an Americanized mem
ber of the Chinatown community
Connected with the visit of the Wash
ington chief OF police is a special delivery
letter addressed to the chief fugitive at a
hotel in Washington. The letter has not
yet been opened.
The plainly oriental name of Sam Wing
ron the back of the envelope is strong
corroboration of the theory of the New
York police that the letter must have
been written to the fugitive by Chinese
friends in possession of the secret of his
hiding place. They went after Sam Wing.

their knocking. They inquired at the

three years back.
Evidently Sam Wing had not sent the
letter to Washington. BY inquiring the
detectives learned that a company of sew
eral Cinnamon had carried on the little
laundry business at 50 Bayard street in
It's former owners name.
The head man among these was Chen
Yuan, young Chinaman regarding whom
inquiries revealed little real information.
Some one had come to the laundry only
a few hours before the police visit and let
Chen Yuan know of the discovery of the
letter in Washington. Chen Yuan had
been seen to run UP Bayard street at top
speed and vanish in the Chinese tenement
at IS Pell street. After his disappear

of photographs and other things, and
had closed 1t up and locked it.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. June 21.-A Chi
naman resembling William Leon, wanted
by the New York police for the murder
Of Elsie Sigel was seen in this city Sat-
urday night at 9:30 o'clock. walking rap
idly up King street. unaccompanied. At
the time little attention was paid to him.
At 2 o'clock Sunday morning the same
man, in company with another China
man, both attired in American clothes
and minus their cues, were seen at AL
fred and King streets engaged in q con-
versation. The streets, of course. were
practically deserted at that hour.
The presumption is that the Cinnamon
went to the Union passenger station and
took q train for the south. No one
the men there. They could have taken
the 4:30 o'clock train out Of this city
yesterday morning, which was bound for
Richmond. without having been observed.
Chief of Police Goods has been inform
ed by two men that two Cinnamon were
seen together at 2 o'clock yesterday
morning at King and Alfred streets. and
that one Of them bore a striking re-
semblance to Leon. The police have
not. however. seen any further trace Of
the Cinnamon. They regard it as almost
certain that the men at once left this
city.
Local Cinnamon Promise Aid.
About the Chinese restaurants and laun-
dries today the Chinese proprietors and
assistants seemed happy over the thought
that they had done something toward as
sisting In the apprehension of the slayer
Of Miss Sigel. They had attended a
meeting last night Of the Chinese Empire
Reform Association.
The meeting had been called for the
purpose Of discussing the tragedy and
the possibility Of the alleged murderer
being in this city. Just what was said
at the meeting could not be learned to-
day.
Secret meeting.'' said one Of the Chi
nese leaders TO Star reporter this aft
ernoon. "and can't tell"
The decision was reached, it Is learned,
however, that all Cinnamon In Washing
ton will assist the police in efforts to
capture Leong and his accomplices. In
furtherance Of their plan messages were
sent to representatives OF the association
in different parts of the country enlisting
their aid.
Several Cinnamon who discussed the af-
fair this afternoon said they were anxious
that Leong and others implicated in the
murder should be caught and punished.

delicate design OF foliage-yery beau
tiful of its kind.
The taste for iewelry rivals that
for dresses. in many cases, notwith-
standing that it is a greater luxury
and commands figures that few purses
can afford The style of work that is
made at present is very attractive and
costly and requires the hands of skill
ed artisans to execute. Among others,
pendants are, perhaps. the most fas-
cinating, set as they always are with
various colored gems. For evening
they outriyal all others. and on a gown
trimmed with metal beads or spangles
they are far more becoming than dia-
monds, which it would then be con-
sidered a dreadful mistake to wear
Pendants are generally suspended on
an invisible chain of platinum, or on
string of small pearls or diamonds.
They are generally copies of ancient
designs surrounded by a modern art
frame.
Here are a few late notes from
fashions realm:
White gloves are quite out of fash
ion. Pale pearl gray. champagne
lemon and light tans are most worn.
Trains are growing longer and skirts
Some tunics are beginning to be very
lightly draped.
Many of the newest hats are OF wide
meshed drawn gold net.
The insides of opera nantes are
more extrava gantly trimmed than the
outside.
Gold and silver shoes accompany
white hosiery.
Colored Satin shoes are worn with
ell cfn nd nF flo
The newest are of gold tissue shot with
rainbow coloring.
Ottoman and velvet tailor made coats
are very fashionable They are of pure
directoire swallow tail type.
Very high corselets of draped black
satin, with a bow and long scarf ends
heavily fringed, are worn in lieu of
waistcoats. Many have long sash ends
in front.
The long Louis XIV waistcoats of old
floral brocade viii be much seen in the
spring
The new coats have straight, rather
shapeless back and large square out
side pockets trimmed with fringe. The
one fault about these garments is that
they SAVIOR of age rather than of youth.
There is a craze for black in every
thing, and many are the black tulle
hats studded with jet and ornamented
with great aigrettes-black or colored.
A sort of trellis work of jet beads is
placed on hats of colored tulle. It
looks very smart over grass green
periwinl1le blue or cherry color
Enormous cabochon ornaments for
hats continue to be very popular, and
loops Of jet beads hang like tassels
from the sides of the toque.
In these days no batiste is too fine,
no lace and embroidery too delicate

elaborated. While the underclothes re-
