The San Francisco call., 1909-06-25

ton by police. detectives and district
attorney ended tonight.
Chung Sin after 81 hours of steady
grilling. with but one intermission for
sleep, had a day of rest at last Either
because the police despair of squeezing
more information out of him or because
they believe that if he is left for a
space to forget the details of his first
answers he may entangle himself in
more contradictions. they did not ques-
tion him today.
FACTORY CLEWS
The same stream of unsatisfactory
cIews kept pouring in from Chinatown,
from Newark and the suburbs, and even
from the cities of the Pacific coast. but
so far as the police here could deter
mine tonight not one has any substan-
tiel basis.
A rumor that war between the
tongs was impending because of Gnu
Gains revelations to the police found
momentary confirmation in the arrest
late today CT a lone Chinese with a
revolver tucked under his blouse, but
the police said they were unable to
connect him with any concerted plan
for an uprising.
MONEY ADVANCED TO LING
One bit Of authentic information
which turned up today did not greatly
forward the search for Leon Ling This
information came from Chu Gain, who
explained that the $3.50 advanced to
Chung Sin, Leon Ling's room mate, did
not come out of his private purse. The
police have been much puzzled about
this loan. because It's existence involved
a contradiction
Chu Gain explained today that the
money was part of loan fund belong
ing 10 the Chinese empire reform asso-
citation, of which he is treasurer. The
society has for its object, among other
things, the supplying of funds to its
members, who are entitled to draw on
the treasurer in proportion to. the
amount of their paid up dues.
IN FEAR OF ASSASSINS
Chu. despite the fact that he is out
on bail, keeps close to his restaurant,
and admitted today that he thought it
would be worth his life to walk down
q dark alley at night
Chinatown is more deeply stirred by
the SigeI murder than by any event of
recent years. The Mongolians feel their
sufferance in the land that harbors
them is in the balance. No statements
were issued today from the rival socie-
ties Of which Chu Gain and Leon Ling
are members.
The Chinese Masons say Leon was a
member of the Chinese empire reform
association and that they have no inter
est in him whatever other than to aid
in his capture
EMPIRE REFORM ASSOCIATION
On the other hand the Chinese en-
pire reform association has sent cir
cular letter to its 10 branches through
out the United States instructing all to
watch for Leon Ling. who IT is said,
had deserted the society for the Masons.
A meeting was held tonight in the
Morning Star mission in the heart of
Chinatown to raise funds for running
down Leon Ling.
The two threatening letters received
by Chu Gain warning him to pay no at
tentions to Elsie Sigel on pain of death
were surrendered by Chu Gain to As
sistant District Attorney Ward today
The possibility that Leon Ling has
fed to Cuba was brought to the atten-
ton of the police today by white
woman living in Chinatown. The woman
told the police that she had heard two
Chinese discussing the Sigel case and
heard them express the belief that Leon
was now in Cuba.
