 Senators, Were Disappointed,

Reached by the Jury in the
 EastmaRWO0diH Tragedy POLITICS PLAYED \ PART
Verdict Declares That East man Was Either Princi- pal or an Accessory-The Probable End of Long Continued Black Mail.

St Michaels, June 2S.-With the compromise verdict of the coroner's jury that Robert Eastman either killed or was accessory to the mur- der of Edith May Woodill and the declaration of States Attorney Fay Tor that he was through with the case, the strange dual tragedy be- came a closed incident today. Four of the twelve jurors refused to sign the verdict until the words Tor ac- cessory to the crime" were added.
 The dissenting jurors merely wish ed to protest, they said. against the manner in which the inquiry was conducted, declaring that much available evidence was not adduced. There was a bit of petty politics mixed in the verdict, for some mem- bers of the jury have been bitter enemies in county affairs.
 The jury sat for a time today in the bungalow itself with Eastman's unmarked grave not fifty feet away. Mrs. Eastman had visited the place earlier in the day and stood dry eyed for a time beside the new made mound.
 Some one with i'll judged humor nau pldnleu d lOIndlO Fiile ou tlle grave Mrs. Eastman, thinking the vine a native flower. asked what it was. No one had the heart to tell her. She stood by the grave until at last a convulsive shudder shook her shoulders and then she was led away.
 From the testimony, the authOri- ties have formed this final theory That Eastman was in need of money; that he probably had been getting money from Mrs. Woodill for some time; that he undoubtedly knew something of her past life and had been blackmailing her; that he at tempted to continue this practice and the woman rebelled, intimating that she too, had found out certain things about Eastman and, that driven to it, would expose him.

A RAT TRAP
 AND b|G 0NE From Which Leon Ling Can
 not Escape SAYS DETECTIVE CHIEF
The. First Statement Given Out by the New York Pc lice Department Regard
 ing the Sigel Murder What Has Been Learned.

New York, June 2S.-Inspector Me Cafferty, chief of the New York de- tective bureau gave out the first authentic statement tonight of the murder of Elsie Sigel that has been made by the police since the discov- cry of the girls body on June Is in a trunk in the bedroom of Leon Ling
 We shall catch the murderer" the inspector said Delay does not alter that, although it chafes us. The whole country is one vast rat trap and every exit is guarded.
 '''The girl was killed on June g. We believe that Leon Ling is the man who did it. with Chung Sin his roommate a possible accomplice. We have Chung Sin. From his room in Eighth avenue Leon Ling went straight to Washington and there sent the don't worry telegram sign ed Elsie received the night of the murder. by the Sigel family.
 From Washington he returned to New York. At mid-night on June g he took the body in a trunk to New ark arriving about two am. June 10.
 Unable to dispose of the trunk, Leon returned to New York with the body on the afternoon of June 10 and left it in his room. From that mo- ment we lose all trace of him. So far as we known he had no other possible accomplice than Chung Sin.
 No other murder that I can re- member has attracted such wide in- terest or such enthusiastic co-opera- ton on the part of the police of other cities. All the forces of the country are working as a great machine. We have fifty men of our own sn cities of the east
 The only possible ship on which Leon could have left the country is due to arrive at Yokohama on July ,. She will be watched. The man can not get out of the country. If alive we will catch him
 All the Chinese laundries in the city which are operated by the Four Companies in the name of individual managers received notices today in employees that they must have noth- ing to do with white women except in the laundry business on pain of dis missal
 It was learned late tonight that detectives were sent to the neighbor- hood of Passaic and Patterson on what was said by Inspector McCaf whereabouts of Leon Ling. We may have Leon in few hours said Me Cafferty.

RAILROAD WRECKS.

i While Uhe war being made on the
liquor taffic is good, and the WORK
| already done Is of ihcaiculable value
yet the liquor traffic is not the only
evil which exists in the country. Any
Thing which destroys human life
should be abated as far as possible.
Almost every day the daily press
brings some horrible report of rail-
road smash-up, ten, or twenty or for
ty lives lost and scores injured. is
generally the way the reports read.
Only a short time ago a horrible
wreck occurred between Hattiesburg
and New Orleans, number losing
their lives and a great many injured.
And then not SO very long ago, an
electric car went crashing through q
bridge near Atlantic City and some
forty or fifty lost their lives. And
then over in Georgia two trains col
lided with a frightful loss Of life and
scores mangled. And then last week
a collision took place near the flood
swept city Of Johnston, Penn, and
twenty are reported dead and the in
jured not known.
There is a cause for these wrecks
The cause can always be located.
Usually some agent or other official
has either disobeyed orders or isl
drunk and orders have not been obey
ed.
These accidents could be stopped.
In many places the railroad track
IS rot in safe condition This
could be lamedied- There is little ex-
cuse for collision, except criminal
In every railroad wreck there should
be an official investigation, either
by some state or federal officer who
will locate this cause and If it is
shown that the railroad company is
on account of detective |
road or on account Of some official
failing to do his duty then let the
company suffer some penalty fer the
wreck.
We do not believe in persecuting
but when they operate thei
trains in disregard of human life 1T is
time to call halt and remedy the
evil. Every road ought to make a |
profit. and if they cannot, under the
present schedule Of rates.. afford to |
put their roads ins proper condition,
then let the rate he5inc1Rased SO that
this can be done
No one starting out on a journey |
can tell with any degree of certainty |
he will return alive or not |
it is too much like. gambling
Let us have the pnnper railroad ser
vice, even if it costs, more. Sszla-
