Now as to Jeffries, the "big fellow"

it must be that the big boilermaker

New York City.-Every city in the
United States where three or four
Chinese can be gathered together in
a Sunday-schoOl has a girl trap like
that in which Elsie Sigel went to her
death.
Wherever the crafty William Leon,
or Leung Linn, to give his Chinese
name, goes in his flight he will be
aided by kindred spirits willing to do
all they can for him, because they
can never know when they will be in
the same predicament.
A Chinaman hunt is not at all like
an ordinary man hunt, where all nom
est men are willing to tell all they
know about the m%urderer's where
abouts. Every Chinese community
has its clique Of criminals, willing
and eager to protect any fellow coun-
tryman the police happen to want,
and always blandly misunderstanding
every question that is put to them.
Elsie Sigel's fate awaits, almost
certainly, every white girl who per-
mits herself to get into the owe OF
the Snug, psalm-singing "Christian-
lied" Chinese who frequent the Chi
nese Sunday-schools. Such tragedies
are ~grewsomely familiar on the Pa
cifc Coast, where of late the Chinese
mission is looked upon with sever
| disfavor. It was long ago discovered
there that when a Sunday-school was
| taught by men the Oriental zeal for a
new religion became suddenly cooled.

The Girls Recreation Home" run
by Mrs. Frances Hold, at No. 10 Mott
street, has been closed. This. home
was f%requented by Elsie Sigel and her
misguided mother, and it was there
that the girl often met the man who
is now being pursued by the police.
Every man who has been brought
into contact with this type of China
man, or who has had opportunity to
observe the workings of a Chinese
mission, knows that there Ire no
| greater plague spots in the country
than such establishments. Ministers,
who with more zeal than intelligence,
assemble Cinnamon together and per-
nit them to be instructed under the
tute1age Of young girls, are merely
lending themselves to the knavery of
their charges.

At Christmas they shower upon the
young women gifts of shawls and
costly fabrics, with an object in mind
which would probably make a muir
derer of any father that suspected it.
In manner they are always bland
and suave, being very careful to say
nothing that will give offense, but one
look into their leering faces is enough
to convince a person Of experience
that a young girl would be better
trusted with the worst cadet on the

Berlin maintains, apropos of the Sigef'

celebrated secretly with mystic rites;
sometimes breaks out openly in orgies
like those celebrated by devotees Of
strange sects in America, Russia and
elsewhere.

fifteen varsity men and have a squad

Rice evidently has something up
his sleeve. He is one of the best
coaches in the country, and his chang

guessing as to just what he is going to
uncover in the eight-oared event. Rice
himself, however, hasn't anything to
say about having an ace in the hole.
Wisconsin is credited as having a
wonderfully fast crew this year. The
Badgers when they arrived looked in
