GIRL
NOT ONLY
VICTIM
Body Thought to Be That
of Ling, Her Supposed
Slayer, Found Both
May Have Been
Murdered

(By United Press Leased Wire
NEW YORK, July 2.-Different
opinions are expressed by the au-
thorities today as to the identity
of Chinese corpse found floating
in the Hudson river near River
dale last night. Coroner McDon-
aid and Police Captain Ward are
certain that 1t is the body of
Leon Ling, sought. on the charge
of having murdered Elsie Sigel,
but Captain Carey of the homocide
bureau, and Detective Van Wag-
ner contend that 1t is not.
Mystery Deepens.
An autopsy is being performed
on the body today in an effort to
ascertain how the Chinese came to
his death.
If the body is identified as that
of Leon Ling the police will be
confronted with mystery deeper
than any which has arisen since
the hunt for the Chinese slayer of
the white girl missionary began.
Slain at Same Time?
The coroner and Captain Ward
contend that the body is that of
Leon and believe that he was slain
at the same time as the girl. It
has been learned that the trunk
in which Elsie's body was found
was taken from Icons room and
returned again some time before
the discovery of her death.
Heretofore II was thought that
the girls slayer had her body
carted about the city in vain ef-
fort to find safe hiding place for
1t. Now 1t is believed that the
first time the trunk was taken
from the room 1t contained the
body of Leon.
BODY Carted Away.
According. to this theory the
trunk was taken out and emptied
of its first grewsome load and then
returned to the roo INTO bear away
the body OF the girl.
Intervention Of the police pre-
vented this pa.n from being car
ried out.
The officers think that a con-
nection OF Chinese secret societies
and tongs with the murder OF both
may be shown.
1t is their belief that Leon told
the girl certain secrets OF these
organizations for which both were
killed by members of the society
to keep the matters from becom-
Ing known ON the outside.

McMurray's Opinion
Tacoma, July 2, 1909.
Edward Meath, Esq,
City Treasurer:
Dear Sir:-I have your request
of July l asking for q written
opinion as to the legality OF 4
warrant issued by the Metropoli-
tan park board to Nelson Bennett
for salary as q member of the
board.
My answer thereto would refer
you to section 8. article 2 of the
constitution of the state OF Wash
ington. which reads as follows:
'"The salary Of a county, city.
town or municipal officer shall mot
be increased or diminished after
his election, or during his term
of office. nor shall the term ok
such officer be extended beyond
the period for which he was elect
ed or appointed" 10.
AS / understand It. when Mr..
Bennett was elected as q member :
of the Metropolitan park board
there was no salary attached to
the office. This being the case.
1t is my opinion that the board
vote him Z SALARY - .
member Of the board during me
present term of Office.
The Legislators At its last re1r-
ular session, I understand. aemn6-
ed the law relating to the Metro
politan park board law, allowing
the board to give a salary to mem
bers theer OF as compensation for
services. / call your attention to
section rs. article 3, OF the con-
stitution of the state Of Washing
ton:
'sThe legislature shall never
grant any extra compensation to
any public officer. agent, servant
or contractor after services shall
have been rendered or the con-
tract entered into, nor shall the
compensation of any public OFFICER
be increased or diminished dur
ing his term OF office.
1t seems to me from the read
ing of these two sections Of the
constitution that the Metropolitan

This is the Wright brothers
song.
They put their aeroplane to-
gether at Fort Meyer to the tune
of it-"The Traumerie."

means ''Dreaming.'p

mot enough. Ought to have lots
of those" For minute he looks
tired with Charley. Then he be-
gins to whistle the "Traumerie. !"
And then he becomes gentle again.
He is putting one of those long
sled runners on the plane. 1t is
necessary to bore some holes In it.
He gets the drill and sits on the
floor, with the runner beneath
him. It's an awfully hot day. The
suit he got in France is of heavy
cloth; his. funny, foreign shoes
squeak with the heat, as he bends.
But he drills and whistles the
dreaming sing.
Orville is on the other side of
the little workshop, pulling at
the lever that twists the planes.
At last they're right. Then he,
too, begins to whistle.
Pretty soon Charley, who has
been filing a piece of metal at the
bench, finishes his job. He bends
down to examine 1t carefully, and
te takes up the tune.
They are all thre whistling It.
Then Lieut.. Lahm, the aeronaut

RAILWAYS MUST.
ERECT THE
v|AOUCTS
TIRED OF DELAY, COUNCIL Or
DERS LEGAL STEPS TAKEN
NO AGREEMENT As 70 DlViS-
ION OF COST.

After a discussion by the city
council last night of the proposed
steel and concrete viaducts at
Division and Washington streets.
during which Councilman Peter
Nelson manifested his displeasure
at the tendency toward delay ex-
hibited by the interested transport
alton companies, resolution was
adopted, as introduced by Nelson,
ordering the corporation counsel to
prepare the necessary legal steps
to compel the railroads to build the
viaducts. The corporation counsel
is also further instructed to take
such legal steps in the premises as
he deems necessary.
An opinion had previously been
given by teh legal department that
the city can enforce the building of
the viaducts, and some thought
that possibly the city would pro-
coed with the improvement and
then enforce payment by the rail-
roads afterward in the courts. I'm
der the resolution of Nelson, the
city will try to force the building
of the viaducts by the railroads
themselves. after plans adopted by
the city council some six months
ago.
The O. r. & NJ railway and the
Washington Water Power Co. were
not represented at the meeting. At
torney B. Fl. Kizer appeared for the
Traction company ana explained
the delay on their account as being
due to the illness Of Jap P. Graves.
Attorney Albert Allen, for D. G..
Corbin of the Spokane Interna-
tonal, asked postponement of the
work until next year. F. Y. Brown,
attorney for the Great Northern,
said his company would contribute
$4,000 toward the Washington
viaduct, but would not pay the rs
per cent of the cost asked by the
committee.
The estimated cost of the Divis-
ion street viaduct is ABOUT $27o, 900
and about 100000 is the figure on
Washington street. In the former,
the o. r. & NJ. the Spokane Inter-
national and the w. w. P. street
railway systems are interested, and
in the latter the o. R. & NJ. the
G. N. and the Traction company
are affected. There has been no
agreement as yet as to the proper
ton of the cost the different cor
porations must bear, and no order
as to the distribution of the cost
has been adopted by the city
council.

SMALL RIOT
AT Lake

Henry Malmquist and s. L.
Rucker, two Traction company en-
ployes. together with a party of
friends, took a day off yesterday
and journeyed to Liberty Lake. in
search of a little excitement. AS a
result, Malmquist is now nursing a
badly discolored optic from coming
in contact with Sheriff Pugh's fist,
and Rucker is also damaged more
or less from the same cause.
The sheriff and his family are en-.
camped at Liberty Lake. and with
him are his two sons, B. F. Pugh, a
special deputy, and Ray Pugh, a
younger brother. aged Is years.
B. F. Pugh and his brother went to
the pavilion last evening to hear
the music, when Malmquist and
Rucker and their companions put
in an appearance, and when re-
fused admittance to the pavilion on
account Of their condition, they pro-
ceeded to abuse the manager and
everybody at the park generally
Young Pugh asked them to keep
quiet, as there were ladies and chill
dren present who did not care to
hear their vile language. Malm-
quist then pitched into Pugh, and
when Ray, the younger brother,
went to his assistance, Rucker
struck the boy blow on the jaw
and stretched him out senseless.
Young Pugh drew his gun and the
disturbers then Gained down.
