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-
tional nature were made OF the fact
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 AMI
other murder mysteries and which ell.
tablishes beyond question the exist
ence OF corrupt relations between a
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 a;
Washington decides upon its 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

them.
Many Of the receipts. letters and
memoranda are written In English and
these point to connivance between
police officials and Chinese Grimm
ais OF a character, which. when 1t 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 no!
yet been permitted to examine the
documents themselves.
AS the situation stands. all the evi
dence relating to the smuggling o'
Chinese into this country, the opium
traffic and the murders OF which the
Chinese have been guilty Is still helt
by the federal authorities.
