New York. jane 23.-If the state
ment made by Chung Sin last night
accusing Leon Ling OF having killed
Elsie Sigel has given the authorities
any tangible cine to the hiding place
OF Leon, the police have not made it
known, and it has resulted in no ar
rest.
In maze Of conflicting stories told
by Chung. and even after he appar-
entity gave in under the incessant ac-
cusations end questions of the police
Chung is quoted as asserting that he
does not know where Leon fed after
tying Miss Sigels body in the trunk
although he admitted giving Leon a
larger part OF S26U which Chung had
borrowed from Chu Gain
Renewed activity ot the police dur
ing and after Chungs statement might
indicate, however, that the Chinaman
told a good deal more about Leon
than the police have allowed to be-
come public There was much tele-
graphing about the country by the

ANCESTRY OF
 JESUS MOTHER
MADAME MOUNTFORD DISCUSS ES SUBJECT FROM VIEWPOINT OF TRADITION AND UN- WRITTEN HISTORY.

Madame Mountford, last night, gave her first of the three lectures on ''The Life of Christ" at the South Congre- gational church, speaking of '"The Ma tivity of Jesus"
 She has made deep research into the unwritten history of Mary, or the tra- ditional history, handed down from generation to generation through cen- turies of time.
 Much attention was given to the an- cestrv of Mary and how the blood of many nations flowed in her veins, so that Jesus was accordingly universal man from His human side and divine ly endowed.
 Mary's rightful place in history, with such high spiritual and mental quail ties, was brought out plainly. Jesus was we'll born, coming from such an ancestry and worthy of the worlds ad- miration and respect.
 The interesting account of the child Mary, as "A Ward of The Temple and later her preparation in due time, to become the Mother of the Christ was related; then the continuation of all her fondest hopes as a Jewish mother of the Messiah. When Jesus was born the wise men came to wor- ship Him, bringing gifts which repre- sented kings, science and rellglon.
 She showed the swa addllng clothes and illustrated each point so plainly that many obscure points were made plain. Tomorrow night the subject will be "The Childhood of Jesus"

FIRE HOUSE FOR
 NINTH DISTRICT
Special Appropriations for Fire Depart.
 nent Include Price of a Site.

In the special appropriations of the tax board for the Fire department there is an allowance of 1,500 to pur- chase piece of property in the Ninth district for a fire station site. It is the desire of the commissioners to get @ location near Berkshire bridge so that the company can cover a large section of the northern part of the city on the west side of the river. A truck company is greatly needed in the northern section of the city. but no attempt has been made to determine the kind of company which will be To- cated there. The first step is to ob- tain the land.
 Of the special appropriation $2,5oO is for new hydrantS and setting, which will be used for larger tydrants in Main street at the same time the per- manent pavement is being laid. The Fire commission has set a good ex- ample for the public service corpora tions along this line for several years back, for it has always set hydrants where new work was being done to prevent new Davements from being torn up. The public service corpora tions have usually waited until a new pavement was down a year before tearing it up.
 A complete list of the special ap- propriations as prepared by Bernard Setzer and shown in the preliminary lists, are as follows: Building repairs (generaD $2,5o0; repairs to No. en- tric light and power, $1,500; new equipment, $350; fire alarm boxes, $500; hose renewals, $2,000; new hydrants and setting. $2,5OO; insurance, $200: new truck for West End, $4500; land for house in Ninth district, $1,5O0.

HERE'S THE SECRET, FREE.

Make up your mind after reading this that you will let the next meal hold no terrors for you.
 I You can enjoy it. You can digest it. All that is needed is to give na- ture the juices she lacks, to give the rible irritating acids, alkalies and gases which turn food and nourish- ment into gas and decomposition.
 When system Is run down and depleted it needs building up. Ashes won't rekindle a fire and wrong dfges- tive fluids will not take proper juices from food no matter how good the food is.
 Is this common sense? Men spend years and even life experimenting on the human system, what it lacks in disease and what it needs in perfec- ton. This knowledge is known to every physician or should be. Stuarts s Dyspepsia Tablets are compressed nat ural vegetable and fruit essences which when mixed with the saliva of the mouth go into the stomach capa- ble of digesting a full meal and they digest it to the uttermost shred. Then such a meal does man good and it gives to him the means to overcome stomach troubles. Forty thousand physicians use these tablets and charge. you for writing a testimonial of their merit which they call a pre- scription. Any druggist in America or Canada will sell you a box for soc.

GUESS HOG KILLING
 AGITATES BOARD
But He Couldn't be Killed atPablic Ab.
 battoir for Lack of Het Water.

At the meeting of the Board of Health, last night, President Ober was instructed to confer with the sub-com- mittee of the Board of Apportfonment concerning conditions at the public abbatoir. The ordinances require all animals to be slaughtered at this abba toir, but it is, impossible to kill hogs there because there is no hot water or other conveniences. President Ober will ask for an appropriation tc provide the necessary facilities. Com. missioner Kelly said that hog was recently slaughtered in the center cd the city. Commissioner Lawson ask. ed MT. Kelly if he had bet on him It was then known that the hog slaughtered was killed to decide 8 re- cent guess-hog contest.
 The Topping off of the appropriations for the Board of Health by the Appor- tionment board was the subject of in- formal discussion at the meeting. The sentiment of the members of the Board of Health was that they would do the best they could with the reduced amount and throw the responsibility on Hthe Board of Apportionment if the public was not satisfied.

MONTENEGRO AND
 AUSTRIA MAY BREAK
 DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

Cettinje, Montenegro, Feb. 10.-A break in diplomatic relations between Montenegro and Austria is believed to be imminent today as a result of Aus tria's unsatisfactory answer to MOn- tenegro's protest against Austria s warIike activities. The cabinet was called in session today to consider the question.
 Austria sent note to Montenegro today explaining her action in seizing the Italian ship Regna Doride. The vessel was suspected of bringing in arms for marauders.
 It is expected that Montenegro will also demand an explanation for the presence of twelve Austrian warship in Spizza Bay, the coast of which they are now patrolling and the concentra- tion of machine guns on the Monten- egran frontier.

OLD PECK CHIMNEY
 HAD QUEER TANTRUNS
BLAZED LIKE VOLCANO, BUT THERE WAS NO FTRE-KERO-
 SENEI CAN PERHAPS
 EAT1T

The chimney in the old Peck home stead at 534 Fairfield avenue, was pro- ductive of a roaring sound shortly be- fore 6 o'clock last night which was an innovation to the occupants of the house. People standing across the street from the house said that a gust of flame shot out of the top of the old chimney at about the same time the roar was heard. To add realism to the situation. Miss Kathleen Gilbert, who has an apartment on the second floor of the house, was building fire on the open hearth and the smoke escaped in to the railways. Mrs. Bill, who oc- cupies the lower floor, was not taking any chances of a fire getting started in the old landmark and she telephoned for the chemical engine. The firemen were unable to find any fire.
 The occupants of the house were at a loss to account for the strange roar in the old chimney. As described it was similar to the noise which usually fol- lows the use of kerosene in starting a new fire.
