ELSIE SIGEl Su|CIDED

Denver, July l4.-It is stated here
by the Chinese consul that the Chin
ese government. following report
of the Chinese consul at New York
upon the Sigei case has sealed its
official approval upon the protection
of Leon Ling by the Chinese Masons
and that he can never be found with
the assistance Of his cOuntrymen.
A Chinese newspaper having the
unofficial sanction Of the govern
ment and containing the New York
consul's report has reached Denver
The report, after citing facts in the
case. stated that il has been discoy-
cred that Ethel Sigel was i'll a deli
cate condition as a result of her in
discretions and fearing discovery by
her family came to Leon Ling's room
seeking means to hide her shame. In
moments desperation she took her
own life by poison The Ling report
states he was absent at the time and
found her dead upon the bed when
he returned. Being frightened he
called Chung Sin from the adjoining
room and showed him the body and
asked what he should do. Chung. the
report says, advised him that should
he tell the truth to the police regard
ing the finding of the body he would
not be believed and probably would
be lynched. Frightened at this view
of the case Ling made desperate ef-
forts to dispose of the body and con-
ceal his own whereabouts The re-
port is evidently regarded by Chinese
authorities dis revealing the true facts
of the case and Chinese Masons are
given permission and encouragement
to conceal Ling.

with the regrade work on Wenatchee
avenue
Mr.. Gellatly states that the attend
ance at the fair in Seattle is increas-

word to say for it. The fasteners
especially are surprised at the beau
tiful grounds and the interesting fea-
lures of the exhibit.
"Chelan county lost awards On the
Spitzenburg and White Winter Per-
main through a misunderstanding"
said Mr.. Gellatly. "The awards on
the Spitzenburg were made week be-

county 1t went to Okanogan county,
with Douglas second The Okanogan
representatives in charge of the
booth are very friendly to this coun-
ty and consequently there was no
protest made on the awarding of the
prize yet had il gone to any other
county Chelan would have entered a
protest The man in charge of MAX
ing awards is handling out some raw
decisions but from now on the Che
Ian county representatives will not
allow any advantage to be taken of
them"

TO PROTECT CzAR

London, July 14.-Scotland Yard

the czar's visit to England at the end
OF this month, as the authorities
have received warning from various
continental sources that among the
foreign anarchists who have taken
refuge in England during the last
twelve months there are about a
dozen of the most desperate type. It
has been ascertained that several
have been held recently in one of the
larger provincial towns and that on
these occasions speeches of a most
violent character have been made.
The czar was invariably the subject
of the open threats which the speak

VILE EXTEND FIRE
LIMITS
THE CITY COUNCIL INSTRUCTED
ATTORNEY TO PREPARE ORDI-
i NANCE INCLUDING EAST HALF
OF -FOUR BLOCKS ON MISSION.

There was nothing Of special i'm
portance transacted in the meeting
of the city council held last night
The council informally discussed the
matter Of better fire protection for
the city, but nothing definite was
concluded.
The matter of condemning d nim-
Der of frame buildings in the bust
ness district was discussed and the
engineer and a member of the fire
committee will make personal In
spection of a number of the build
ings during the coming week and re-
port at the council meeting next
Tuesday evening.
The city attorney outlined the
method by which the buildings could
be condemned legally and it is con-
sidered by members of the council
that half a dozen buildings anyway
can be condemned without any trou-
BILE.
The matter of compelling owners
of buildings to erect fire escapes in
conformity to the ordinance passed
this spring was also under considera-
ton. All but two or three buildings
in the city that come under the new
ordinance have complied with 1t in
making arrangements for fire escapes
and the law will be invoked to COM
pei the other property owners to
erect escapes.
The ordinance providing for the
Improvement Of Kittitas street from
the new depot to the new high school
building was passed.
Fire Chief Throw asked for the
extension of fire limits to include the
east side blocks 9, IA. 25 and 80, on
Chelan avenue. and the west side of
block 20 on Mission street. The fire
limits now only extend to the alley
between. Mission and Chelan and
Chief Throws argument was that the
alley did not make sufficient bar
rier against the extension of fire and
desired the additional territory. The
council voted to have an ordinance
prepared to include this new terri
tory The fire committee was also
instructed to purchase new hose and
fire ladders. Considerable of the fire
equipment was burned in the recent
fire
The Commercial club submt tied
the bill for the Welcome" arch
erected at the foot of First street,
near the depot The total cost was
s289.31, and the club requested that
the city defray one-half the cost OF
this arch. The matter was referred
to the finane committee
The plat for Outlook addition. on
the corner of Okanogan and Kitti-
tas streets was filed with the city
for acceptance This addition has
been plated by Messrs Chas Becker
John and George Ross.
A large grist of bills was ordered
laid last night.

The evening of the thirteenth OF

one which will be long remembered

gathered to perform the last sad

under hypnotic spell, and they
whiffed at anything, high. wide and

wild but it made no difference as
long as the Tigers hit.
The Firemen played snappy ball
all the time. Fred Morrison and Jay
Cushing robbed the Tigers several
times of clean hits by sensational
stops of line balls
The Hose Couplers were there
with the willow. and In the first in
ming when eight runs were tailed,
they came across with six clean hits.
Slip Green played in hard luck

bat and robbing the smash Of its

hit over second by "One Hand"

The game would have been laugh

MANY was outclassed at every stage
of the game, in batting, in fielding
and in base running Several times
with men on bases Tammany passed
up opportunities to score by poor
coaching and bum work on the
bases.

score in the fifth but was called out
at the plate on close decision.
