STILES BEHIND
THE CLOSE UP
ORDER

The sudden. determination cd
the police department reached yes
terday to keep the restricted dis
trict closed, 1t develops today was
the result Of, action taken by
Judge Stiles, city attorney.
Following the announcement
made by the Times early this week
that preparations were being made
tor eopen the district Judge Stiles
began an Investigation. He found
that the Times article was correct
and that night he ordered the city
light and water cut of from the
Sandberg building.
Furthermore his deputy gave
notice to the women who congre-
gated on the sidewalk when their
light was shut of that they had
better depart and they took the
hint. bg
Judge Stiles has given 1t out
that he does not intend to have
vice legalized while he Is In office.
Furthermore he does not intend
to have these women scatter over
town II the people do not want
them. Any one knowing OF any
characters from the Sandbere
quarter operating in any section
of the city is asked to report the
fact to the police or the city at
torney at once and arrests Will fol-
low.

Girl Is Victim of
Fiendish Crime
HER BODY Is FOUND
JAMMED IN TRUNK
IN NEW YORK'S
CHINATOWN
Supposed To Have Been
Slain BY Chinese , for
Love of Whom She Had
Sacrificed Everything.

(By United Press Leased Wire
NEW YORK, June 19.-That
Elsie SigeI, the 2O-year-old grand
daughter of the late General Franz
Sigel, whose dead body was found
late yesterday jammed in trunk
i'm q Chinese. lodging house, was
the victim of a Chinese, for love
of whom she sacrificed caste,
home and friends, is the opinion
of the police.
Their belief is founded ON hun
dreds of letters found in the room
of Leon Ling, where the body was
secreted.
In Constant Fear.
Added weight was given the po-
lice theory Of murder by the
statement of Mrs. Todd that the
girl lived in perpetual fear of her
Chinese lover. Mrs. Todd said
she had known Elsie and Ling for
years, and that Ling had told her
often Of his great love for the
girl
The Chinese, according to Mrs.
Todd, was of an exceedingly jeal-
our disposition and often accused
Elsie of accepting the attentions
of other men. OF late the COM
plants had become more frequent
and threatening.
Forsaken by Lover.
That the Chinaman had ceased
to reciprocate her love and COM
mftted a dastardly crime to free
himself from the girls broken
hearted opportunities not to for
sake her, the police claim is es-
tablished by the following pitiful
appeal, which they believe was the
last letter written by the girl be-
fore she left her home June 8:

HATCH PLOT
TO KILL
CAR
SCHEME OF WOULD-BE ASSAS-
SINS is DISCOVERED AND
NICHOLAS ABANDONS TRIP
TO ITALY.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 49,
The discovery of a plot to assas-
sinate Gar Nicholas in Italy, on
his proposed continental tour, has
caused the czar to omit that coun-
try from his itinerary, according
to reports based on the best au-
thority.
The plot is said to have been
discovered by Russian secret SER
vice agents who were sent to Italy
several weeks ago to prepare for
the czar's visit. They claim that
Italian malcontents combined with
Russian exiles to assassinate the
Russian ruler, and, despite all
precautions, the trip could not be
made without the gravest danger.
The feeling against Nicholas,
the agents. say, is unusually bit
ter now because of the recent re-
dictionary triumphs in Russia, and
the revelations of frightful prison
cruelties resulting from debates
in the Duma.
