GIRLS ARRESTED SUSPECTED
 OF CHINESE MURDER

New York, July 1S.-The first tan gible clue to the series of Chinese mur- ders which began with the killing of Elsie Sigel in the Oriental room of Leon Ling in Eighth avenue, is in the hands of the police today following the arrest of IA and 19 year old Sadie Bro die and Fannie Miller on the evidence of a Chinese spy which connects the girls with the mystery of a, Chinaman who was recently found strangled. These two girls, with third named Lilly, visited the murdered China man on the afternoon before he was Killed The two under arrest admit receiving rich presents from the laun- dryman They said they ran away ana hid at Coney Island at the time of the murder so that they would not be confined.
 The police have been working on the theory that Yung Vow, the laundry man. was murdered as result of some he had with the Sigel girls death or as the result of a dispute fol- lowing the Sigel killing The story of the Chinaman who gave it to Cap. tain Calvin of the Chinatown squad, differs from this theory. He says the x1r1s were used as decoys When Captain Calvin arrested Fannie

MRS. MACK IN TROUBLE
Sheriff Seizes Her Two Stores, Publicity Given Her Recent Tombs Visit Having Hurt the Convicted Murderer.

New York, July 13.-Mrs. Mack. who was convicted of complicity in the murder of Guldensuppe and sent to Auburn prison for twenty years, is again in trouble. On her release after serving fourteen years of her term, Mrs. Mack went into the clothing bus mess and opened two stores at Ninth avenue and Thfrty-sixth street under the name of Augusta Huber"
 Seven months ago Mrs. Mack visited the keepers in the Tombs Through this visit her identity became known, and the patronage at the clothing stores began to fall off. Mrs. Mack efterward called at the district attor- ney's office and complained that she was losing business because of the publicity given to her Tombs visit
 For some time her stores have been in financial straits, and yesterday Marshal Charles Jacobs of 32 Vandam street seized one of the stores and will hold an auction of it's contents to sat isfy judgment against Mrs. Mack Should this prove insufficient he will take the same action with the other store.

MANTLE HALL
 AGAIN IN JAIL.

New York, July 13.-Mandeville de Marigny Hall, who has made many and varied appearances in the courts, is now held in LOGO bail at Kingston, R. I. on the charge of obtaining mon ey under false pretenses. He is the son of William Cornelius Hall of 52 West Ninth Street. and is said to be a ny and a relative of the Due de Vil- lambrosa.
 His first appearance in print was when he shot himself two years ago. and his friends said it was an accident Next he was extradited last Summer from London on the charge of de- frauding a Perisian automobile firm with a bad check, and three months ago his divorce suit reused a good deal of notoriety.
 The charge against him now is that book of the Fifth Avenue Bank and proceeded to utter checks signed with the name under which for the moment he was travelling.
 At first he drew the checks to the order of Douglas Turner Johnston. but as there happened not to be such a customer on the banks books, they were not paid. Then he adopted the name of Charles w. Stevens, and as count at the bank. two of the checks were honored by a clerk who was not familiar with the depositor's sigma ture. 1t appears that Hall made no attempt to initiate pr. Stevens hand writing, but cashed them in Rhode Island with a hotel keeper, whom his appearance received, relying on get ting away before anything could be heard from the Fifth Avenue Bank.

A bed bug crawling on your children's clothes. when away from home does not speak well of that home, but instead gives to your friends a lasting impression of neglect and carelessness in that home and is often his spered around among other friends of the family. Such un- pleasant comment could have been avoided if you had used Cyrus Presto Killer for Bedbugs. The cost is only 25 cents and would have effectually cleaned the bed.
