BIG SCANDAL
FOLLOWS RAID
DISCOVERIES IN CHINESE DEN
MAY LEAD TO IMPORTANT
DEVELOPMENTS
U. S. AUTHORITIES BUSY
CORRUPT CHINESE AND POLICE
OFFICIALS SAID TO BE
IN ALLIANCE.

New York.-Disclosure of sensa-
that in raid on an opium den in this
city recently by customs inspectors
mass of documentary evidence was
found which probably will result in
the solution of the Elsie Sigel and
other murder mysteries and which en-
tablishes beyond question the exist
syndicate of Chinese criminals and
palice officials in this and other cit
les
These revelations have started an
investigation which federal and city
authorities agree will be one of the
most far reaching and searching in
the history of New York.
The documents seized in the raid
are looked upon as so important by
Henry A. Wise, United States district
attorney, that he will not turn any
of them over to the New York pc
lice until the Treasury Department at
Washington decides upon it's course.
The New York police are anxious
to get at the records which show how
the murderer of Elsie Sigel escaped
and the sums of money that have
been paid by Chinese criminals to po
lice officials in this city and else.
where So conservative an official as
Deputy Commissioner Flynn said
that because of the revelations made
in these records, one of the greatest
shake-ups in the history of the New
York police department is inevitable.
1t has been learned that not only
have the United States district attor
ney and the district attorney of this
county entered upon the case, but in
addition to the inquiry now being pur-
sued by the customs inspectors, the
secret service division of the Treas
ury Department has been called in.
The large packing boxes filled with
discriminating documents are now in
a room in the federal building, guard
ed by an armed watchman. 1t has
been physically impossible to trans
late all of the communications, which
are written in Chinese, but the most
skilled translators in the federal serv-
vice in this city are at work upon
them.
Many of the receipts, letters and
memoranda are written in English and
these point to connivance between
police officials and Chinese crimin-
ais of character, which, when it be-
comes known, will result in the dis
grace and prosecution of many police
officials.
From the federal authorities Dep
uty Commissioner Flynn has learned
of the existence of proof of this gull
ty relationship although he has not
yet been permitted to examine the
documents themselves.
AS the situation stands, all the evi-
dence relating to the smuggling OF
Chinese into this country, the opium
traffic and the murders of which the
Chinese have been guilty is still held
by the federal authorities.

If friend of yours should throw oper

wanted to show you. don't YOU think i
would be very rude to pass right on with
out paying the slightest attention?
Ard yet how many people pass by con.
versational open doors in just this way.
You mention some name in the course
Of conversation and your companion
says, reniniscently, HE did me might.
good turn once"
Or you pass through some street. OIL
some particular locality is mentioned. ant
your friend remembers, Il had very
unpleasant experience right near here
Or you are talking of dogs and some
one declares. Il have mighty good rea
son to hate that kind of dog
Now all these little remarks are con-
versational open doors.
In the doorway stands syour friend
reckoning YOU to enter and see what he
has ready for your interest behind that
open door.
Now, which are you going to do?
Are YOU going to respond to He did
me mighty good turn once by saying.
Did he?' or Yes, he's a fine man. or
by making some such short-stop rena rk
and passing on to other subjects?
In other wo-ds. arc you going to slam
the conversational door he has opened sc
hopefully?
Or are YOU going to say. Did he? VIA;
was it, or make some similar response,
which will give him a chance to tell the
story with which he is charged?
Remember, that il he is a particularly
egotistical person. even slamming the
door in his face may not purchase eX-
emption for YOU. Just as. likely as not
he will open it again and fairly drag you
in by reyerting to his aliusion and gra-
tuitously Offering an explanation of it.
And mind you, IL he has to do this. even
If he is winning his end. he will not for
get that he does it in spite Of you. and
that you did slam the door and try to
escape, and he will hold it up against
YOU.
OF course what your friend has behind
that door is often ve-y embarrassing. But
it takes such little time to look at it.
Surely it is worth while when you con-
slider the pleasure YOU are giving and
the good impression you create
There is a class of people to whom
however commonplace their intellectual
qualifications. every one likes to talk, aid
that is the felix's who never miss chance
to enter one of these conversational open
doors.
It's such a simple way of pleasing folks
isn't 1t?
