 IN NEW YORK Grand Daughter Of Gen. Franz
 Siege| Murdered A VERY PUzzLING MYSTERY. Her Decomposed Body Found in a Trunk in a Room in the Chinese Quarter---Her Cur ious Relations With the Celestials.
A VERY PUzzLING MYSTERY

New York, June 1S.-Elizabeth
 Sigel, daughter of Paul Sigel of this city, and grand daughter of the illus
 trious Franz Siegel, the German war
 rior. who served with the Union army during the civil war, is the victim of one of the most sOrdid murders in the history of New York.
 Taken from a trunk in a room of a Chinese above a chop suey restau
 rant in the tenderloin, her body in a state of decomposition is in the nor gue, while detectives are investigat- ing a tangled story involving the girl and her associations with the Chin csc. An envelope addressed to the girl was found in .the room where the body lay, a locket bearing her initials, her disappearance on June 10, and a note found in the room, signed Elsie" all indicate that Franz Sigers grand daughter was murdered. Mir. Sigel had not identified the body at late hour tonight, but Mrs. Sigel identified the torn clothing as that worn by her daughter.
 Sun Leong, proprietor of the res taurant who conducted the rooming house above, disappeared shortly after the discovery of the murder, adding further to the mystery. The case has many unusual features, notable among which is the fact that Chinese had been known to call at the Sigel nome, presumably with-the sanction of the parents. Elsie was twenty years old and was greatly interested in work among the Chinese. It is I sF ed with one Chinese who may be able to throw some light on the case, several years ago when he conducted cane rack, at Amusement Park at Fort George. The Sigel home on Wadsworth avenue in the Bronx is not far from that resort.
 Three Chinese were arrested as ma terial witnesses. They gave the names of Yeo Kim, manager of Sun Leongs restaurant; Gong Wing, salesman for a chop suey supply house; and Chin Sum, a cook, who lives in the rear of the restaurant. The man most wanted, however, is former occupant of the room where the body was found, evidently an English speaking Celestial Judging from the letters, this individual is Leong Loo Linn, known among Eng fish friends as William H. Lion.
 Shortly after midnight, Mrs. Flor ence NJ. Todd, one of the resident workers in Chinatown and the Bow cry settlement, who is a friend of the Sigels, called at the morgue and after viewing the body, identified the as that worn by Elsie Sigel.
 number of letters were found in the room. One was written in Eng fish and addressed to the Chinese who | occupied the room where the body i was found but unsigned warned him ! that if he did not stop paying atten- l ton to Elsie Sigel, he would meet a | terrible fate. Other letters were sign l ed Elsie" and. according to the po- ice, were written in terms of endear- ] ment.

Tucson, AriZ., June 1S-(Special)- Stirred as never before, the entire town of Tucson has arisen and is en- deavoring to discover the perpetrators of the most dastardiy outrage ever known here when the residence of Supt. w. II. Whalen of the Tucson di- vision of the Southern Pacific was dy- namited early this morning. That the superintendent and Mrs Whalen es- caped with their lives was due to the fact that they were asleep on a cupola on top of the house. The room gener- ally occupied by their daughter. now in Iowa, waas completely wrecked, as well as the greater portion of the house. Had Miss Whalen been at home she could not possibly have escaped with her life
 Members of the Order of Railroad Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen held special meet ings late this afternoon pledging their financial support in an endeavor to ferret out the criminals. Rewards of fered by the city and county and the chamber of commerce aggregate S1,- 250. A special wire tonight from San Francisco from the Southern Pacific general headquarters says no expense shall be spared in hunting down the criminals. It is expected that the Southern Pacific will offer a reward of probably s5,O00 in addition to those al- ready offered
 NIT. Whalen says he has no enemies and Is entirely at loss to account for the dastardly attempt on his life. Of ficers are searching for two men said to have been Drowling in the vicinity of the house shortly before the eX- plosion. Popular indignation is aroused to the highest pitch and should prob able suspect be arrested by the officers lynching might occur.
 Mir. Whalcn has been a resident here for a year. He has a wife and grown son and daughter. Himself and his wife were carried down d ladder to safety by the fircmen.
 A portion of the fuse used for the explosion was found by the officers. Whalen says three attempts were made to set off the fuse. He heard two and thought 1t was only the wind blowing against a screen.
 A bunch of Southern Pacific detec- tives from California will arrive in Tucson this morning. It is very prob able that Governor Sloan will be asked to offer a reward in behalf of the ter ritory for the conviction of the crimi- nals
