CHINESE SLAIN
FOR AIDING HUNT
LOCK- WING, VICE CONSUL IN
NEW YORK, SENTENCED.
Secret Society is Determined 10 Hin.
der the Search for Elsie Sigers
Murderer.
HIS SLAYER is WEAK MINDED

New York. Aug, Back OF the
Staying of Lock Wing. the Chinese
'vice-consul, on Saturday afternoon,
was a Tong plot of Characteristic
oriental cunning The slayer, Wong
Bow Cheung, was merely a tool, en-
ployed by the Hip Sing Tong to visit
the death penalty upon Lock Wing,
who had defied the Tong by assisting
the police in their search for Jeong
Ling, the murderer of Elsie Sigel.
The Hip Sing Tong marked Lock
Wing several weeks ago. and the
warning ls going forth that for a
subject OF the Flowery Kingdom 10
aid the police in the search for Leong
Ling means death. The Hip Sings
have left nothing undone 20 hinder
the police search for Deong Ling.
The orders OF the imperial govern
ment. coming through the Chinese
minister at Washington. that all Chi
nese should aid the police in finding
the murderer OF Elsie Sigel. only re-
doubled the efforts OF the Hip Sings
to prevent the clearing up of the
mystery.
Among the Chinese who aided The
police was the vice-consul, Lock
Wing. Some weeks ago he was
warned that to aid the police meant
death, but he ignored the warning.
Suspecting he would do so, the Hip
Sing leaders prepared a trap for him.
Letter Used in Trap.
The vlce-consul was sent an anOny-
nous letter, telling him Leong Ling
was in Denver. Then the Tong mem
bers in Denver we're told to watch
for police activity. They were told
the Denver police would seek Deong
Ling.
The trap worked and when the
Denver Chinese told their compatriots
here of the movements of the police.
sentence OF death was passed on
Lock Wing.
Wong Bow Cheung was an easy in
Istrument. He is a dull-witted China
man long since deDorted from his
home by the Chinese government,
which finds that the simplest method
lof caring for the mentally deficient.
Weak Mind Poisoned.
In this country Wong Bow has
been making demands on the Chi
nese officials that he be returned to
China and II was always Lock Wing
who had to tell him he could not be
returned. Wong Bow was made 10
believe that It was the vice-consul
who stood in the way of his return
and IL Lock Wing were dead ne could
go back.
Then, with his childish mind turned
to murder, he was given revolver
and the sentence Of the Hip Sings
was executed.

SWEETHEART OF
CAMILLE CLIFFORD KILLS
SELF.
Boston Engineer Had Letters From
Her After She Had Achieved
Fame.
HIS CAREER WAS WRECKED

Boston. Mass, Aug. "a suicide
of several days ago was made public
today and with II an interesting
story concerning the cause of the act.
The man who ended his life by taxi
ing cyanide of potassium was Rein
hardt Steilson, a Swedish mechanical
engineer. and the cause of the suicide
was the marriage not 80 long ago OF
Camille Clifford, the actress. TO Henry
ILyndehurst Bruce. of England.
II is n well-known fact that Camille
lClifford came to Boston from her ma
tive land, Sweden, not many years
ago. a penniless girl. Her name was
Camille Otterson, daughter of Mrs.
Franz Otterson, who did not accom-
pany her to this side. She went TO
live with distant relative. Mr..
Schilling. of Roxbury, and there
formed an acquaintance with Steil-
son. which lasted through many years
of hardship.
Met When Children.
They wee mere children when
they first met. and as years rolled by
their friendship ripened into love.
and according to Steilson. his one
cherished hope was to marry Camille.
The two were In constant communl-
cation through the mails. even after
she reached the zenith OF her fame
Not once did Il occur to the young
engineer that his childhood love
cared for another man than he, and
when her engagement and subse-
quent marriage to Harry Lyndehurst
Bruce was announced Il created a
great change in Steilson's life.
Where before he had been a hard
working and industrious young man
and had accumulated quite a consid-
cradle sum Of money, he at once be
gan to drink and led rather rapid
life.
Bought Poison and Told Love.
One night, in company with a
friend who had been out carousing
with him. he entered a drug store
and purchased a quantity OF cyanide
of potassium. He told his friend
that some day he would take that

A NEW KIND OF POLITICAL PARTNERSHIP.
 TT HE combination of the forces of
 LangdOn and Haines did not
 find much favor among the
 4 powers that are-at the capital Senator Peabody peremptorily demand cd m explanation from Stevens as to how he had allowed "his senator to engage as his secretary "this inquisi- tive man Haincs. a reporter who didn't know his place."
 "Here we've put Langdon on naval affairs because we knew he didn't uE- derstand what's going on, and you Stevens, supposed to be the finished product of the political mill, you fall asleep. and let him take up a man whom nobody can control, one who knows the inside workings of Wash ingtOn and who will take particular pleasure in teaching your fellow Mis- sissippian far too much for our good"

nlfe. Intangible rumors he had heard, he could not state exactly where, had made him regret her growing intimacy with the girls and with the senator. They had met her through letters of introduction of the most trustworthy and assuring character from people of highest social rank In Virginia. where the Langdons had many friends, but even so, Haines realized, people who write Introductory letters are some times thoughtfess in considering all the circumstances of the parties they tn- troduce, and residents of Virginia who had not been in the capital for years might be forgiven for not knowing of all the more recent developments in the lives of those they knew in Wash lngton. While not wishing to have the senator know of his intention, the sec retary determined to Investigate Mrs. Spangler and her present mode of life at his first opportunity, hoping the while that his quest would reveal her to be what the Langdons considered her-a widow of wealth, fashion and reserve who resided at the capital be- cause the memories of her late has band, a former congressman of high standing, were associated with it.
 Calling at the Langdons' house one evening in February to receive direc- tions regarding important work for the

Watching her as she turned away, Haines saw her extend a warm greet

O'N~" ing to Congressman Charles Norton, who had advanced toward the group.
 Strange how the Langdons treat him as a friend-intimate one, too," he thought What If they should learn of Norton's questionable operations at the capitol; of his connection with two unsavory deals one of which result ed in an amendment of the pure food law so that manufacturers of a value less consumption cure could continue to mislead the victims of the white plague;' Norton, who had uttered an epigram now celebrated in the tap rooms of Washington, The paths of glory lead but to the graft.
 Miss Langdon is very beautiful and attractive, sir," said Haines, resuming with the senator.
 Yes" drawled the Mississippian. Girls in the south generally are"
 Well, l must be going. I'll think about your secretaryship, Senator Langdon. Perhaps 1 can find some one"
 Wish you'd think about 1t for your self" observed the senator, while Hope Georgia again nodded approval Tt would be hard job. There are so many matters of political detail about which l am sadly inexperienced that really most of the work would fall on the secretary"
 Bud Haines paused. Again he thought over Langdon's offer. Its genuineness appealed to him. Suddenly there dawn ed on him an idea of just what it might mean to be associated with this honest old citizen who had asked for his Eelp-who needed 1t, as Haines knew only too well. He would be the senator's guide and confidant-his ad- wiser in big matters. Why, he would practically be United States senator himself He knew the inside" as few others in Washington. Here was a chance to match his wit against that of Peabody, the boss of the senate; chance to spoil some of the dishonest schemes of those who were adroitly playing the game" He could bother, too, the intriguing members of the third house." as the lobbyists are called. He could direct a lightning bolt into the camp or -&ndy Corr1gan, who claimed the honor of being speaker of the third house." These thoughts crowded into his mind. Then, too, he would become practically a member of the Largdon family and have association with the two charm ing daughters-with Carolina Lang don.
 Tt would be a great chance" he murmured half aloud; next thing to being a senator.'
 The old Mississippian heard the young mans words.
 "I reckon 1t would" he drawled in agreement
 You feel sure you want meT urged the other.
 Langdon chuckled.
 "I asked you" he said.
 Haines came abruptly to decision.

 Then" drawled Lan|don, ''the thing to do Is to jump in and stop it! read in the newspapers q great deal about corruption.

 But the days do get short in No vember. when congress meets, don't they?" laughed Haines, rising. "Tm afraid I've taken too much of your time. and seem to have talked lot"
 Langdon was amused.
 Does look like I'd been interviewing you. I reckon each one of us has got d pretty good notion of what the other mans like. I wanted it that way, and like you, MT. Haines. I've got prop osition to make to you. They tell me I'll need secretary.

 Haines? We-eh-I-I know my fa- ther would like to have you"
 As he stood before his two new found friends-for such Haines now considered the Mississipian and his daughter-he could not suppress feel ings of surprise tinged with uncertain ty. He had, like other Newspaper men, received offers of employment from politicians who desired to increase their influence with the press. Some times the salary offered had been large, the work so light that the reporter could learn" the money and yet retain his newspaper position, a scantily dis guised species, of bribery, which had wrecked the careers of several promis- ing young reporters well known to Haines, young men who had been thus led into selling their columns'' by un- scrupulous machine dictators.
 Haines knew that the Mississippian had no ulterior purpose to serve in his offer, yet he must have time to think over the proposal.
 Il thank you, senator" he finally said. Il appreciate the opportunity, coming from you, but I've never thought of giving up the newspaper profession. It's a fascinating career, one that I am too fond of to leave"
 Langdon started to reply, when a de lightfully modulated southern voice in- terrupted:
 Father, I've been out with Mrs. Spangler to look for some other rooms. don't like this hotel, and found some that do like"
 Haines turned to see a handsomely gowned young woman who had the stamp of a patrician's daughter in her bearing and her countenance-a bru- nette, with delicate features, though determination shone in her eyes and appeared in the self contained poiSe of her head. She was the imperious type of beauty and suggested to HaineS the dry point etchilgs of Paul Helleu. He instinctively conceived her to be in tensely ambitious, and of this Haines T-as soon to have unexpected evidence. Gazing at her with a sense of a grow ing admiration, Haines gave an invol- untary start as Senator Langdon spoke:
 My daughter, Miss Carolina Lang don, MT. Haines," said the senator. Carolina was interested.
 Are you the newspaper man who is interviewing father? I hope you'll do q nice one. We want him to be successful and popular senator. We'd like to help him if we could"
 The correspondent bowed.
 1T should say you certainly would help him to be popular senator" he declared emphatically, failing to notice that Hope Georgia was somewhat an moved at the enthusiasm displayed over her elder sister. In fact, Hope Georgia was suffering a partial if not total eclipse
 ''I'm leaving it to MT. Haines to put down the things I ought to Say" broke in the senator. ''Ie knows"
 ''Yes, he knows everything about Washington, Carolina" exclaimed Hope Georgia spiritedly.
 The older girl spoke eagerly. 1. "I wish you'd interview me, MT. Haines. Ask ne how I like Washing ton. I feel as though must tell some enc just how much do like it! It 1 is too wonderfully
 "Pd like mighty we'll to interview you, Miss Langdon," enthusiastically acclaimed Haines.
