MEN WHO SWEAR NOT
TO BE HIS PALLBEARERS
Old Christian, Who Abhorred Bias
phemy, Has Chosen CIean-LiPped
for Last Service

UTICA, N. Y. June 25. - Joseph
Golden, Joseph Petrie, Oscar Caulkin
and George Getman are truly religious
men; not one of them has ever sullied
his lips with a blasphemous oath. So
they will be old Eli Christians pail
bearers at the church in Columbia to-
morrow. Christian had himself chosen
them for that last service.
Christian dwelt alone on his farm
near here. All his long life he alb
horred profanity and Stunned man
who swore Often he declared pro-
family a crime for which there is not
only no excuse. but no forgiveness.
Often, too, he said that when he should
be carried to his grave it should be
by those who were clean-souled,
clean-lipped. He knew well Golden,
Petrie, Caulkin and Getman. So Ee
selected them as his pallbearers not
long ago, lest when he was gone all
proper care be not exercised in the
choice.
Mr.. Christian was found dead in a
chair at his home today. He was seen
last on Tuesday. An autopsy proved
that heart disease caused death.

WHITE MAN SLOWLY
BECOMES AS NEGRO
Street Car Driver in New York
Changes Color All Over Ex-
cept One-Half of
Face

NEW YORK, June 25.-In James
McFaul. a street car driver Bellevue
hospital has one of the strangest cases
that has come under its observation
in many years.
About year ago McFauPs skin
commenced to turn black and it has
continued to do so until now he is as
black as a negro all over, with the
exception of the right side of his face.
Close observation indicates that the
transformation may not affect the
right side of his face, which is a rosy
white.
None of the Bellevue doctors have
been able to diagnose the trouble, ex-
cept that 1t is an organic affection
due to the softening of tissues.

zonian, which sailed from Norfolk yes
terday bound for San francisco, 1t IS
believed, has aboard Leon Ling or
Lang, who was signed as a member OF
the vessels Chinese crew In New York,
June ii. Yesterday the vessel finished
taking on full cargo of government
coal for the Pacific coast.
The Arlzonian passed out the Vir-
ginia capes early today, having been
aground for several hours on Bush
bluff shoals, where she struck In pass
ing out of the lower harbor last night.
During the vessels stay here a
strange Chinaman was seen walking
about the city. He did not mix with
any of his fellow countryrnen ana
nothing could be learned of him. yes
terday Detective Wright of the Nor
folk police got trail of the stranger,
who seems to answer in many details
the description of Elsie Sigeps muir
derer, and followed him to Lambert
point, but arrived at the coal piers Just
after the Arlzonian had left on her
long voyage around to San Francisco.
The detective was told that the
Chlnaman for whom he was searching
was aboard the outgoing steamer. The
name of Leon Ling, or Lang, appears
among the list of the crew Of the
Arizonian which was filed by the mas
ter of the steamer in the office of the
collector of customs.
While the age of Elsie Sigel's mur-
derer is given from New York as 30
years, the age of Leon Ling, or Lang.
aboard the Arizonian is given as 81
years.
The Arizonian, which passed Cape
Henry outward bound at S;15 o'clock
this morning, was this afternoon only
short distance down the North Caro-
lima coast, probably off Cape Hatteras
and Diamond Shoal.

HUNTERS SET RIGHT

With the approach of the hunting
season, which opens for doves on July
Is, preparations are being made for
extended trips into the mountains on
shoot expeditions. In some cases
deer hunters have been tangled up
with the opening date, however, as
they seem to believe that the season
opens July Is. This is a mistake, as
the date has been made two weeks
later. August 1 is the date for the
opening of the deer season.
For the benafit of those who do not
know the new game laws, the following
ds a list of the open seasons for the
various birds, animals and fish:
October l to February 15-Ducks,
black sea brant, rail, curlew, plover
and ther shore birds.
August / to November deer.
July Is to October 15-Dove.

TO GO
TOLEON'S ROOM
CHUNG SIN WILL EXPERIENCE
ANOTHER ORDEAL
Detectives Rely on Former Roommate
of Slayer to Capture Hln1-pe-
veIopments in Case Come
Slowly
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK June 25.-In their
search for the murderer of Elsie Sigel'
the police are still depending princi-
pally on Chung Sin, former room mate
of Leon Ling, in whose room the girls
body was found.
He will be put through another ques-
tioning in the room itself.
The hope that Leon Ling might have
shipped on the steamer Arizona, bound
from New York for San Francisco,
failed when 1t was proved by the ships
clearance papers that she left Norfolk
with only the crew originally shipped
at New York.
Chu Gain. rival of Leon Ling, applied
to the district attorneys office today
for permission to leave town, but al
though he has offered to increase his
bail from the present $1,000 to $5OOO
his request was refused
The fact that the telegram sent TO
the parents of Elsie Sigel from WASH
ington on the night of her disappear
ance, assuring them of her safety and
promising her early return had been
sent by Leon Ling, the young Chinese
whom the police charge with her muir
der was established today by Detee-
tive Van Wagner, who returned from
Washington armed with the original
telegram.
The police and the district attorneys
office have practically reached the
conclusion that there is no good basis
for the reports that Leon was in hid
ing in Washington.
Arrest Suspect
The police of Newton, L. l., today
arrested Chinaman answering in a
general way the description of Leon
Ling. He said he was Harry Koio, 80
years of age, but gave no address.
Chu Gain made an attempt to leave
the city today. His attorney told the
coroner that his client was under $1,000
bail and was willing to furnish another
$1,000 if allowed to go to Atlantic City.
where he had long planned to attend
a summer school. Permission was re-
fused.
Letters found in the rooms occupied
by Leon Ling and Chu Gain, rivals for
the love of Elsie Sigel, whose body was
found in a trunk in Ling's room, in
dicate that the day before she met her
death she wrote to each of the Chinese
loving assurances Of her entire faith
in him.
A short time after Leon Ling ap-
peared at the Sigel home intoxicated
and was driven away by her parents,
Miss Sigel wrote this note, the police
say, to Ling:
Il am writing this while mother is
away She would not let me if she
knew it. Don't think, Willie, that |
will give you up for anybody. l will
always remember the dear times we
had together. I will see you soon.
With love, ELSIE.
The letter to Chun Gain reads: 81
don't want you to feel badly because
Willie was here tonight You know l
love you and you only always. Don't
mind Willie. Although he is nothing
to me, had to see him. do not send
for him Your ever loving Elsie"
kilograms announcing the arrest of
suspects in various cities continue to
arrive, but in no instance has the
missing Leon Ling been identified.

SEALING RECORD BY WIRELESS

NEW YORK, June 25.-For the first
time in the history of the sealing IN
dustry, one of the vessels of the New
fcundland fleet, the Floritzel, owned by
the firm of Bowring Bros, was equip
ped with wireless for her cruise this
spring. and the first message from her
since she sailed on her quest among
the 4ce foes north of SO" was received
recently at the New York Offices of the
firm, II State street. The message, of
course, was relayed from st. Johns by
telegraph. It ran:
"Floritzel reports by wireless lf,0g9
panned. Twelve thousand on board
Eagle 10000 panned. Rest OF Bowring
fleet have not done much. Floritzel
great success"
The reference to ''17.0o0 panned"
means that the killing gangs of the
Floritzel have got that many seals on
the ice. The work OF transferring them
to the hold of the vessel is In progress,
10 900 having been slowed away when
the wireless dispatch was sent. Unless
storm comes along and breaks the
foes in the vicinity, the rest OF the
catch should be safely packed IN the
sealer's holds.
Apparently the Eagle, another sealer.
has made an even larger killing, but
her gangs have not yet started the
work of transferring the catch to the
vessel. These advance bulletins of the
fleet would seem to argue a successful
season, inasmuch as they have been
received so soon Last year the record
was q 900 seals.
Much interest has attached to the
cruise of the Floritzel, as she is some
thing of an experiment in the sealing
business. She is new this year and
was specially constructed for the Bow
rings, on the regular lines of the sealing
steamships, but besides having twice
the tonnage of any of the others, she
has a complete equipment for carry
ing passengers, and is intended to run
between New York and st. Johns In
the summer months.
