GIRL MISSING FOR TWO WEEKS
Granddaughter of General Franz ST.
gel, Civil War Hero, Choked to-
Death With Clothesline and
damned Into Trunk.

New York City-T, oody Of Elsie
Sigel, twenty years old. granddaugh-
ter of General Franz Sigel, was found
jammed into trunk in fat former
ly occupied by two Cinnamon on the
fourth floor of No. 1872 Eighth ave-
nue.. The young woman. who had
been missing from her home over
week, had been strangled with a
clothesline. The body was in the
trunk evidently five or six days. Paul
Sigel, of No. 209 Wadsworth avenue,
the girls father, when he first viewed
the hardly recognizable body, denied
it was that of his daughter. -
The body was clothed in white u1~<
derwear and white cotton waist.
The feet were bare ami the hair frees
hanging in thick, brown mass. a
woman's black hat, small umbrella
and O. pea-green jacket with cream
white lining lay on the bureau.
The other members Of the family
fought against believing the girl had
been murdered in the Chinamen'S liV-
ing quarters, but when trinkets be-
longing to the girl and letters she
had written to a Chinaman were
found in The fiat and shown to the
mother, she accepted the death Of her
daughter as fact, and Sigel ad-
mitted the identity of the body. Mrs.
Florence Nj. Todd, missionary work.
er among the Chinese, was the first
to identify the body positively in the
Morgue.
The police suspected Lung Lin, an
Americanized Sunday-schoel China
man, who calls himself William l..
Leon, and Chung Sin, both OF whom
formerly occupied the two-rocm fatr-
now deserted, in the rear Of the top
floor. A picture of one Of these men
was found in the Sigel home, and
both Thomas L. Bunnell, curb bros
ker, In the Hotel Bristol, and a Chi-
naman said they saw Leon with the
girl recently and heard him speak OF
her. These two Cinnamon vanished
from their fat almost a week before
the tragedy was uncovered.
The death Of tie, girl seems TO nave
resulted from the, desire to do mis-.
sionary work, which led both MRS..
Sigel and her daughter to make
friends with Cinnamon in Sunday

lures. Either one or both OF the I
Cinnamon may have gained the conf
dence of the girl and led her away
from home. The police say there is
reason to believe she lad been kept a
prisoner. Evidently telegram signed
with the girls name and received by
her father on June II from Washing

than Miss Sigel.
She was a member of one of the

beat Mrs. Gribble to death, struck
down Mrs. Hunter and after assault
ing Mrs. Ohlander in the wide, long
hallway, where the bodies were
found, finished his terrible work by
beating in her skull.
Mrs. Gribble evidently was attack
ed from behind as she sat in a chair
reading. On the floor beside her
body were found the newspapers and
her spectacles. One or possibly two
blows we're dealt her. Her gray
head, blood matted, shows the i'm
print of the axe.
It is probable that Mrs. Hunter
was the first to be struck down; that
she met the murderer at the door as
he entered and was struck before she
could escape.
Then the murderer, stealthily ap-
preached aged Mrs. Gribble and kill
ed her. 1t is believed that Mrs. Oh
lander was attacked as she left her
room to enter the hallway, was as
saulted and killed. Mrs. Hunters
skull was crushed in and her death
is near.
The motley horde of prisoners is
quiet and frightened in the police
station and jail. It is believed II the
negro suspected of the crime is cap
tured he can be quickly identified.
Bloodhounds have been put at work.

Washington. Dec. 1O.--As a prom
ise of activity in the interest of leg
islation senators today introduced
more than $50 bills and resolutions
covering great variety Of subjects.
Many of these measures failed of pas
sage during the last congress and
ninety per cent of them will receive
scant consideration this session.
Many are for pensions that could
not be granted under the general
law.
Standing out as a striking propo-
sition was a resolution by Senator
Rayner today authorizing the pres
ident of the United States to cause
as a common criminal, charged with
the murder Of the two Americans
engaged in revolutionary activity in
Nicaragua. contrary to the code of
war of all civilized nations which
would have granted them trial ~
The house was in session an hour
and a half and large number OF
measures were introduced. The most
striking feature of the proceedings
in that body was a speech by Repre-
sentative Kustermann of Wisconsin,
denying the charge that his interest
in German shipping was SO great as
to cause him to antagonize bill for
the relief of the American merchant
marine. Mr.. Kustermann was in a
jovial humor and his speech was
generally enjoyed. Senator Lori
mer's successor in the house, Hon.
VIM. J. Moxley of Illinois was sworn
in.
Owing to the fact that no reports
have been made from committees
both houses are without subjects
upon which to legislate. The senate
therefore adjourned until Monday
and the house until Tuesday.

C0FF0RTH ADMITS
INTEREST in fight

New York, Dec. 1O.-Special-Jim
CofEorth yesterday admitted that he
has "a finger in the Jeffries-Johnson
championship battle. When seen on
board the Lusitania as he departed
for London, Cofnorth said that he was
crossing the pond to exhibit the John
son-K -Ketchen fight pictures and to
make arrangements for the placing OF
the pictures of the Jeffries-Jo Johnson
contest.
This is the first time that the San
Francisco promoter has acknowledg-
ed that he was readily behind the
Rtckard- Gleason combination that had
secured the big fight, though 1t was
generally believed that he was in the
deal.
By acknowledging that he would
have the placing of the pictures, Cof-
froth tips off his hand and even de-
mails from Rickard and Gleason will
count for little now. 1t is almost
certain that the fight will be held at
Coffroth's Colma arena on the out
skirts of San Francisco.

Washington, Dec. 10.-What is de-
clared by it's officers to have been the
most successful convention of it's kind
ever held came to end today when
the national rivers and harbors con-
gress adjourned after a three days
session. Representative Jos. e. Ran
sdell, of Louisiana, was reelected
president at the morning session and
Captain J. F. Ellison, of Cincinnati,
was returned to Office as secretary
and treasurer. Vice presidents to
represents states were also named.
The new board of directors met af-
ter adjournment and took up the
question of date and place for the
next convention. Toledo, Ohio, and
one or two other cities sought to
have the delegates meet elsewhere
than in Washington in 1910, but the
directors pointed out that the most
suitable place is the national capitol
and that the convention should be
held ,coincident with the convening
tof congress.
The matter was put over after
considerable discussion until later
date.
