... Continued from page ~,

today to determine whether the tele-
gram was sent by his daughter or
as a blind. The police maintain it
was sent by a Chinaman after the
murder to delay investigation and
to acid theFmurderer to escape. Leon
or Lion and Chung Sin were we'll to
do. Investigation today showed that
they, conducted four restaurants in
all, one near Fort George on the Hud-
son, not far from the Sigel home in
the Bronx; one at Coney Island;
another at Paterson, N. j., and
another at Northfold, Va. All these
resorts will be closely watched by
the police. Elsie Siegel's entry into
the mission ways of the Chinese
came through her now grief crazed
! with Sunday schools and mission
work in Chinatown. In this way the
girl came to know various China
men and Lion, whom she met at
the Fort George resort became at
tentive. He was received at the Sic
gel home and continued his associ-
atoms with the girl. His love be-
came violent. Then from what can
be learned, her father forbid the
'Chinaman to visit the house. 1t was
then that Elsie, although afraid of
her admirer, deserted her home and
never to be seen alive again by any
OF; her household. Where she went
directly after leaving home, whether
she Joined the Chinaman or was
,lured to the room and murdered,
must be. cleared up. That the girl
cut her family ties because Of Chi
namen is indicated in the note I'M
dated which was found in Lions ef-
fects. ttYou seem to be growing
cold to me-. Just think of the sacri-
fee made for you. My family, my
friends, for Gods sake don't forsake
me. Signed Elsie.'' - -.

the police are inclined to accept first
jealousy and love mania. The girl

recent election, the prohibitionists
had two members of the city council
and the liquor interests four mem
bers.i7 At the last regular meeting,
John Crowley, one of the license
members, resigned, and as another
Of the members was absent, the vote
stood two and two for Crowley's sue

the deciding ballot, which left the.
council with only five members.
Since that date special meetings OF.
the council have been called almost
