MURDER MYSTERY
IN THE LIMELIGHT
Attention Called to Elsie
Sigel Case by Chinese
Arrest

New York, Sept. 2.-The unsolved
mystery of the murder of Elsie Sigel.
more than two years ago. once more
claimed attention today, following the
arrest of a Chinese by immigration in
spectors, who last night raided res
taurant in Hoboken. Although the
immigration authorities declined to
explain what connection, if any, the
arrest had with the Sigel case, it was
reported today that the police had
found an important clue.
Ostnsibly the prisoner. Gee Cow. was
arrested on suspicion of having SNUG
gled fellow countrymen into the
United States in violation of the i'm
migration laws.
Elsie Sigel was granddaughter OF
General Franz SigeL Her body, bear
ing unmistakable marks of violence,
was found in a trunk in a Chinese re-
sort and the search for her murderer
was conducted almost exclusively in
Chinese settlements throughout the
country. Although several arrests
were made. no definite clue was ever
obtained.

Need Some Mutual Working System
For the Control of oyster
Beds.
Special to The Netcs.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. Up to this
time the oyster commissions of Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana have been I'M
able to reach an agreement for a uni
form set of statutes governing the oys
ter industry of the two states, and, UNI
less some sort of plan is devised
within the next few months, it is not
likely that there will be any legisla-
ton on the subject at the approaching
meeting of Mississippi's lawmaking
body.
While there is much in common as
relates to the oyster industry in the
two states, they have never been able
to get together on any plan resembling
harmony, or in recognition of mutuali-
ty of interests.
Mississippi oystermen hold that it
is unreasonable to suppose that if
Louisiana puts a high tax on oysters
transported from it's waters to factor
les on the Mississippi coast that
Louisiana will be the gainor thereby;
that, while Louisiana has splendid
oyster beds, far exceeding those of
Mississippi in extent, the Pelican
state has very few sites available for
factories, owing to the marshy con-
dition of the soil adjacent to the
Louisiana coast.
On the other hand if Mississippi
oystermen are permitted to transport
; the bivalves, and pay a reasonable
| tax, considerable revenue would &C
crue to Louisiana thereby, the oyster
supply of both states would be prop
erly handled, and the Mississippi lab
orers in factories and fishermen or
the schooners would spend theil
money in the coast towns where II
would eventually find its way into
