The Sensible Way

The mistake most men make is
that they Judge clothes by the way
they look when they try them on.
They forget that unless they are
pure wool, they will look "seedy"
in mighty short time.
But most clothes of all wool cost
too much.
CLoTHcRAFr CLOTHES have
style, they are pure wool and do
not cost too much.

Washington, June 1.-the senate
adopted by vote of Al to 81 the
amendment of the senate committee
on finance fixing a duty of 81 a ton

After this vote had been taken there
was an effort to reach an agreement

GUS income and corporation tax

obtain a general agreement to post

Bailey and Cummins insisted upon
coupling with the agreement an un-
derstanding that there should be taken
direct vote on the adoption Of an
income tax amendment and no agree
ment was reached.

STRYCHNIKE IN HIS COFFEE

Mrs. Minnie Tracey Tells Police Viii
liam Brown Gave Her the Poison to
Kill Her Husband--Aiso Suspected
Of Poisoning Browns Wife a Year
Ago.
York, Pa, June 22--Mrs Minnie
Tracey, the Lower Chanceford woman.
who, with her brother-in.law, William
r. Brown is in the York county jail,
charged with the murder of her hus-
band, Joshua Tracey. whose mysteri-
Gus death occurred Monday, June Ia,
has confessed that she knowingly and
with wilful intent administered poi
son to her husband. She duplicates
Brown, declaring that he introduced
the poison into a vessel containing
coffee.
The woman's written statement, now
In possession OF the police is in sub
stance to the effect that Brown pro-
cured the strychnine; that he conceal
ed himself In the woods until he had
an opportunity ito enter the house un.
seen by his prospective victim; that
he dropped the poison into coffee
pot on the stove; that she witnessed
his act, after which she administered
the poisoned coffee mixed with whis
ky, to her husband, and then instruct
ed her daughter to empty the coffee
pot of its contents, rinse the vessel
and make fresh coffee.
There must have been an overdose
of the poison put in the coffee, for II
threw Tracey into violent commissions,
which caused him to tear the flesh
from his breast and to die in great
agony II was this violence that
aroused the suspicious of the neigh
borhood.
The police. in cooperation with the
Lancaster, Pa, authorities, learned
that the poison--10 cents worth of
strychnine--was purchased for Brown
by his brother, John A. Brown, at Lam
caster, which city William Brown Wis
tied last Thursday. Brown, in request
ing his brother to make the purchase,
said he wanted 1t to kill rats.
With this much revealed. all that Is
awaited is the result of the chemical
examination of the contents of Ira
cey's stomach to complete the chain Of
evidence which the authorities are
convinced will convict the pair of the
most cruelty planned murder in York
countys history.
That the faithless wife and her
lover had planned the murder days, or
even weeks ahead, seems certain.
startling development In the case
is the possibility that Brown and Mrs.
Tracey may be made to answer for yet
another murder. About year ago
Browns wife, sister Of Tracey, died
suddenly few weeks after the birth
of child, and while being nursed by
Mrs. Tracey. At the time the death
was viewed az mysterious, and there
is now talk Of having this body ex-
humed and an examination for traces
of poison made.

New York, June 22.--After a bit OF
police furry an hour or two of I'm
verified reports and telephoning be
tween cities, the murder of Elsie
Sigel, daughter of Paul Sigel, OF this
city. and granddaughter of Major Gen
eral Franz Sigel, of Civil War fame,
resolved itself into an unsolved crime
again.
Chung Sin, who formerly occupied a
room adjoining that where the girls
body was found, is held by the police
at Amsterdam. N. Y, but what has
been learned from him has served to
clear up the case little, if any. At
Schenectady the Chinaman arrested,
at first thought to be Leon Ling or
William l.. Leon, who is sought as the
girls murderer has, according to all
indications, pretty well established
that he is ar unoffending Celestial
who formerly worked in a restaurant
in New York, and whose arrest was
brought about merely through strik
ingly unfortunate resemblance to Leon
Ling.
The disappearance of Chung Sin at
about the time the murder was dis
covered here made the police eager
for his apprehension, which was con
sidered second in Importance to that
of Leon, but the interview with him
at Amsterdam seems to have brought
out nothing of value to the authorities.
He maintains that he rarely associat'
ed with Leon, and while acquainted
with Elsie Sigel knows nothing of the
murder. Thus, with his arrest Of no
great import, the case, aside from de
velopments in New York, is about
where it was when Elsie Sigels body
was found in the trunk in a room over
the Eighth avenue chop suey restau-
ant last Friday night.
Elsie Sieei Buried.
In the midst of all the police activ
ity the body of Elsie Sigel was quietly
buried in Woodlawn cemetery. AS the
father had announced that he wished
to avoid any more publicity, the coffin
containing the mutilated form was
taken directly from the morgue to the
burying ground in plain undertaking
wagon. The ceremony at the grave
was strictly private and was attended
only by her father, two brothers, Regi
maid and Theodore, and by her uncle,
Franz SigeL
Mrs. Sigel broke down completely
when she learned of her daughters
death and is now in sanitarium.
Jealousy Motive Of Murder.
Theories as to the motive of the
murder all coincide, as was indicated,
on the jealousy of Leon Ling. That he
killed her because of her apparent
friendship for Chu Gain, who is still
detained as a material witness, is still
the predominant belief.
In support of this explanation, Mrs.
Florence Todd, one of the most promi
nent women workers in Chinatown.
who knew Elsie Sigel and her mother
intimately, said: II knew Chu Gain,
who is under arrest, very well He is
one of the few Cinnamon whom II
would trust With my life. Mrs. Sigel
and Elsie also knew him for many
years. They were introduced to him
through an uncle of his.
81 believe that Elsie was in love
with Cbu Gain, and would have mar
ried him, but that he would not marry
her"

Reproached Leon Limo.

Some of the longer ones reproached
Leon Ling for coldness toward a girl
that loved him, but many held no
hint that she doubted the Chinaman's
affection. On the contrary, they glow
ed warmly with assurances of her own
devotion. There wasn't a word or a
syllable in one of them which might
point the way to understanding how
Elsie Sigel came to her death in the
low-ceiled, grimy room above the chop
suey shop
There is just one letter of the many
found in the room of William Leon,
otherwise Leon Ling, that gives a
clear view of this tragedy, and all the
other material contained SO far 1t
reads as follows:
you seem to be growing cold to
me. Just think of the sacrifice ] have
made for you-my family, my friends.
For Gods sake, don't forsake met
