and when he returned three years
ago, he brought with him the young
student, WI. the young man who was
destined to go with him to a tragic
and untimeIy death. WI is described
as a very likable young man Of
whom Dr. Wong was especially fond.
'-"a notice are working on the
theory that Wan. whose presence at
.-..ss.Un ives apparently distaste-
full to one or more members of the
household, had announced his inten-
ton OF leaving Washington on We'd
nesday. that he packed his travelling
bag and made all arrangements for
the trip. Then; the police theory goes,
he returned to the mission, possibly
with another Chinese. Dr.~Kong Lii is
positive that it was he who opened
the door to him at Z o'clock that
night and refused him admittance.
The police believe there was some
one else in the house with him at the
time-someone he did not want DR.. Ii
to sec.
They point out that, unless Wu be-
lieved his friend had already depart
ed or was going at a later date. he
would have spent the last evening
OF his stay with him and would have
eaten dinner with him. instead of
with King Chu and Howard Jeffers.
WU made no statement, either of
having seen his friend off for New
York. or of intending to at a later
hour. The only reference he did make
was that he had been entertaining
friend, but that friend would not
be with him that evening. Wu was
seen by his friends as late as {
o'clock.

Two Men Involved.

were
concerned in the actual murder at the
mission is now practically certain.
One may have left Washington the
same night and the other, believing
himself unidentified with the mission
activities, remained to cash the bogus
tcheck. The police, while wholly un-
communicative, are known to suspect
that it was VANS brother who an
peared at the bank and tried to Sc
cure the $4,000. Bank officials who
saw the young Chinese and who told
him additional Identification would be
necessary before the check could he
cashed, are to be called upon to at
tempt to identify the young man to-
day. II the identification can be made
with certainty the police will have
solved one of the most baffling and
extraordinary crimes in all police an
nails. It is understood that z.
S. Wan, himself, has been practically
eliminated from suspicion as the per-
son who appeared at the bank. He is
being held under suspicion of a much
graver nature.
Although he has been questioned
again and again, the police cannot
extract from him a satisfactory story.
He insists that the residents Of the
mission knew he was to depart for
New York, that he left on a train at
S:15 and that his friend, Ben Sen W.,
one Of the murdered men, accom-
panied him to the station and saw
him of on the train. This state
ment is so patiently a falsehood as to
brand every other detail of his story
as equally false. According to King
| Chu and Howard Jeffers, young WI,
at that hour, was just finishing din
ner with them at a Pennsylvania ave-
nue. restaurant. They insist that he
could not have seen Wan of and that
he never intimated in any way that
he had any such engagement.
Men Not Related.
More than that there is no train
! for New York at that hour
All possibility that Wan could
have been related, either by blood or
marriage, to DR.. Wong, has been
eliminated by the statement Of the
slain mans oldest daughter, who has
arrived from Ann ATbor, Mich.

RICHMOND SOLDIER
DESCRIBES SCENES
IN SOUTH FRANCE

A trip down in the land where the
orange and palm trees are bearing
fruit this time Of the year; where
the natives wear straw hats, and the
women ride in open carriages is de-
scribed in a recent letter from Mar
lowe Kluter to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Kluter. He has been
spending a fourteen-day furlough in
southern France and writes the follow
ing account Of his trip from Nice on

the figures, it must have comprised
tremendous total, both as to quantity
and value.
But the solution of the leaf prob
lem is not nearly so simple. Even
tually, however, and from year to
year, all the leaf becomes grist for
the government statistical mill, in
GLIDING the amounts exported, and
also as to the quantities brought in,
and from what countries, with descrip-
ton Of types.
A Personal Investigation
In order to ascertain the truth as
to the prevailing conditions in the
filler market, to get an approximately
close estimate as to filler leaf supply,
and to arrive at the facts as to the
movement of the 1918 crop and the
prices so far paid, We have covered a
lot of tobacco country, of late. We
have not only talked with growers,
heads Of farmers associations and
packers, but also with manufa cturers,
more especially of cigars, for these
are the ultimate consumers, SO far as
the farmer and packer Is concerned
Manufacturers often buy direct from
the farmers, through their field buyers
or agents; just as they buy from the
packers, and. let us add right here
that every packer for his own &C.
count is Spectator. He buys on
his judgment, after careful study of
all conditions which may affect the
future value of his purchases, after he
has rehandled, insured, carried and
stood for all damage and shrinkage.
He is In a precarious business just
Cin he
came to such a sudden and unexpect-
doesn't know if he is afoot or on
horseback. Many Of them have so
expressed themselves to us in quiet
and confidential way. and we believed
them to be sincere. A lot of these
to how they are likely to get out on
their early 1918 purchases, at ''tippy"
prices. We know of a few thousand
cases Of 1918 leaf which are already
counted loss, because they could be
replaced at considerable less cost to-
day. This does not apply to binder
stock; every pound Of that will finally
be worked up into cigars at profit
to the packers fortunate enough to
have 1t; for there is no surplus of
good binders anywhere.
Facts Which Amt So"
In our quest for double-distilled in
formation, we have run across a whole
lot of men who, as Josh Billings puts
1t, know a lot of facts which amt
So" You can find these men every
where, not only as to tobacco but with
reference to any line of trade or en-
deavor They are swimmers of the
surface only; they jump at conclu-
sions. One such an irresponsible
caused the leaf trade thousands of
dollars of loss not long ago, and he
was a newspaper writer at that; the
correspondent of one of the principle
tobacco journals. His statement that
several thousand cases of good 1917
filler were to be thrown on the market,
regardless of price, stampeded a large
crowd before the falsity of his report
could be shown. Prices took a nose
dive and our cigar leaf farmers are
suffering from that dive right now
