 New York. June 1.-Two yellow men and the pretty twenty year old mis- sionarv girl, Elsie Sigel, are the old. old love tangle that the police have uncovered in their energetic investiga- ton of the murder of the girl. whose body was found packed in a trunk in the Oriental apartment of Leon Ling. a mission Chinaman. The new Celes- tial in the case is Chau Gain. wealthy restaurant proprietor in New York s Chinatown. who admits his love for the girl and his rivalry to Leon Ling, for whom the police of the Pacific coast are now watching every port out let from the country. ia
 Leon and his companion. Chung Sin. has been tracked from New York, through Washington and Chicago on his way to the coast. and if he has not already been able to leave the country his arrest is probable. The true motive for the killing of Elsie Sigel, the mad jealousy of her yellow pupil. was un- covered when Gnu Gain. a stoHd Chinaman of middle age. told the po- lice that he and the fleeing Leon had Leon thought Elsie favored Gnu Gain and he threatened to kill both the girl and the restaurant proprietor. like pig" Gnu Gain tremblingly admitted.

 Paul Sigel, father of the murdered girl. made a positive identification of the terribly changed body of his daugh- ter yesterday. He told Police Captain Carey of the Homicide Bureau after he had almost collapsed while gazing at his daughters body that for years he had fought against his daughters friendship for the missing Chinaman whom she had taught to read the; Bible. He doubted the religious fervor of the pig-tailed yellow men whose piety demanded that each of them have an individual pretty white girl to teach him his Bible. But Elsie and her mother were wrapped up in their work among the heathens in the opium dens and chop suey restaurants. When a yellow coolie forswore his pig tail and yellow and red dice and stepped out of his loose clothing and sandals. he was a changed man to them and a loo ne axynr ed he said. had become to believe that the presents and compliments they gave her were evidences of their gratitude for the saving of their souls.
 The father said that he would see that the body was quietly buried and told the police that he would do all
