ftHaraet^rtalnj^ NaiwBB A. Aldrich
M -general manager of the United
States,” and as by far its ‘ most po
tent and powerful legislator,” Judson
C. Welllrer, in the July Hampton s
Magazine, arraigns the Rhode Island
Senator and hia tariff-juggling allies
In the most scathing analyfta ever
made of ‘ Ross of the Senate.” Rep
resenting only fourteen States of less
than seven million inhabitants, "the
Aldrich phalanx,” declared the ar
ticle, "rules the Republican majority
in the Senate, and through It to rule
the Senate; and through the Senate
to make a tariff law.
; »Th»t jgw will give to the partic
ipating States, auch as Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut,
jJ Rhode Island, Delaware, Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada,
Washington. North Dakota and West
Virginia, all the protection they want.
The lumber of Washington, the lead
of the mountain States, the citrus
fruits of California, the hides of the
ranges, the cotton and woolen and
ailk and shoe mills of New England,
the iron and steel of Pennsylvaata—
these will be cared for. The great,
rich States of Middle West and South
will be ‘ground between the upper
and nether millstones,' as Nelson of
Minnesota declared on the Senate
fioor.
“The combination of the small
States of Far East and Far West,
formed and directed by the cold, cal
culating genius of Aldrich, i» the
power behind this tariff revision.
Senators representing only seven roil-
llona of people furnish the power
with which this colossal bosa, from
the smallest and the most corrupt
State, makes a tariff for our popu
iation of ninety millions. t
"Yet even with this devoted array
at hia back. Aldrich dared not to
openly avow hia Intention of grinding
the eighty-three milllona between the
ratllstonea of the seven millions.
The New England cotton and woolen
mills were to have protection—and,
therefore, their proflt-power—in
creased. It was unsafe to do this
openly and frankly. So Aldrich re
ported a bill in which, he said, there
was no change in their schedules. It
was true aa to the figures. But Rel
ator Dolliver sat up a few nights
with some experts, and found that
without changing a figure, Aldrich
had, by silently rewriting the defini
tion of cotton cloth, Increased the du
ties throughout. Aldrich and his
followers denied it; but Dolliver
proved it. And then he proved, fur
ther. that Aldrich and his lieutenants
did not do It; they called in the skill
ed agents of the manufacturers and
let them fix up the details, so that
the provision would be sure to serve
the purpose!
"That is typical of tariff-making
under Aldrich. Jokers, snakes, in
directions, concealed meanings, de
finitions which seem to mean oae
thing and really mean another, Jug-
giings of phrase, concealment of a
grain of purpose in a labyrinth of
language—these are the sure sys
tems with which the Business Sen
ator plays his game.
Regarding the charges that Rhode
Island legislatures have at times been
openly and frankly purchased out
right. Mr. Welliver quotes Col. A.
K. McClure, of Philadelphia, who
alleged that ‘In making the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill Aldrich
gave the Sugar Trust the benefit of
one mill added duty on refined sug
ar, which enabled the trust to draw
down al)OUt three million dollars
additional profits per year by the
cheerful process of taking that much
more from the people by adding it
to the price of sugar.
"Handling a tariff or any other
great measure is to Aldrich what
mapping out a campaign would be
to a board of strategy. He works,
works, works, paying Interest
against Interest, making deals and
concessions and compromises, till
he is sure of votes enough on all
essential propositions. He staves off
the tests till he has made a com
bination with which to meet each
one. He knows, for Instance, that
with the dominant party pledged to
revise the tariff, a bill must be pass
ed. With that to start on, he must
organize one force to protect his steel
schedule, another to defend sugar,
another to carry through his textile
duties, and so on through the list

for the gruesome murder of Gen
Franz Slgel'a granddaughter. The
light the body was discovered wedg
ed into the old trunk in the rooms
of Leon Ling, in Eighth avenue, the
police found a score of mor* of let
ters, which the girl had addressed to
him. They were endearing in tone
and indicated a friendship more than
platonic.
In searching Chinatown, the de
tectives raided the private rooms of
Chu Gain, owner of the famous Port
Arthur Chinese restaurant, and there
they found about 200 letters which
had been addressed to him by Elsie
Slgel. These letters were even more
endearing in tone than those found
in Leon Ling's room. In these she
addressed him as “My own dearest
beloved,” and ' my own dear Chu.,”
‘ever your loving Elsie,” she fre
quently signed herself. The Chu
Gain letters gave the first informa
tion as to the motive for the mur
der.
Miss Slgel told Chu Gain, in some
of the letters, of her conduct with
I>eon Ling, told him not to be jealous.

In true frontier style, a highway
man, described as gentle in appear

house of the Waggoner Bank and
Trust Company in the heart of Fort
Worth, Taxaa, of I8.10U In currency
and escaped.
The robbery was the most daring
attempted in Texas in years. Cash
ier Walter E. King was alone in
the hank after ciostny time, balanc
ing the business of the day, when
a man walked in. As the man ap
proached thp window of the cashier'a
desk, King looked into the barrel of
a revolver.
“Make a move or a noise of any
kind and I'll kill you,” was the
greeting Mr. King received.
The cashier obeyed the order.
Seizing the roll of bills the man
backed out of the door, covering
King with the revolver. King ran
to a telephone, as he saw the man
walking down the street and ming-
llngllng with the crowd*-with an air
of unconcern. The police reached
the scene five ryflnutes later, but
the robher had disappeared.
At the time of the robbery sev
eral hundred persons were near the
building and many noted the arrival
at the bank and the departure of the
man, but his manner was so bland
that he did not arouse suspicion.
Several persons declare that he
climed into a waiting automobile,
after walking several blocks

in this assertion and it is believed
he is still in Fort Worth. Search

coming at night, more than 20.U0O
persons went to bed on the sandy
beach at Coney Island, it being the
first occasion this season when resi
dents of the city sought overnight
relief at the seashore.
The beaches were thrown open to
the public and policemen were de
tailed to guard the sleepers. Most of
those who slept on the sands were
women and their children, who lived
scriptlons. The Rev. Fung Y
acted a-s chairman.
Theories as to the motive of the
murder all coincide on the jealousy
of Leon Ling. That he killed the
g-lrl became of her apparent friend
ship for Chu Gain, who is still de
tained as a material witness, is the
predominant belief.
In support of this explanation,
Mrs. Florence Todd, one of the most
prominent women workers in China
town, w ho knew Elsie Slgel and her
mother intimately, said: , , J ..
"I knew Chu Gain, who is under ! ,a ^ crowded 6ections of the Clty ,
arrest, very well. He is one of the
few Chinamen whom I would trust
with my life. Mrs. Sigel and Elsie
also knew him for many years. They
were introduced to him through an
uncle of his.
"I believe that Elsie was in love
with Chu Gain and would have mar
ried him, but that he would sot mar
ry her.”
Here Mrs. Todd went into the most
significant j>art of her statement,
that bearing on Leon Ling. She
said:
The maximum temperature of
ninety-one degrees was reported at
2 o’clock in the afternoon, but the
most intense suffering came an hour
later, following a hot rain shower,
when the wind died out and the air
became close and sultry.

On New York's Murder Mystery by
a Countryman of the Mayor of
the Girl—She Went to the China
man's Room Alone and Was Ther*
Murdered.
That New York murder mystery
has been solved. Baited and intimi
dated by detectives Chung Sin, one
time room mate of Leon Ling, told
Tuesday afternoon of Elsie Sigel’s
murder. Under the terrific pressure
of the "third degree" the little Chi
naman admitted that he had seen
the body in Leon Ling's room, that
he had touched it while it was still
warm, that he had smelled drugs
and had watched Leon Ling's plans
for getting the body in the trunk,
where it was found horribly decom
posed.
Chung Sin Is 36 years old. He was
arrested at West Walway, N. H.
and was brought to New York Tues
-day morning. He was bullied, per
suaded and entangled in a mass or
significant questions. It was not un
til late Tuesday, however, that his
spirit was sufficiently broken or suf
ficient inducement were offered, as
the case may be, for him to cast
aside hia air of stolidnees and 'tell
of the death of the young missionary.
Then, smoking cigarette after cigar
cite to quiet his nerves, the China
man told brokenly but with brutal
bluntness of the girl's death.
From the man's story, it is appar
ent that Elsie Sigel first was drug
ged with chloroform and then chok
ed tcTlfe^th. She was killed appar
ently on the night of June 9, al-
tTunigh Chung Stn appeared a little
mixed in his dates. But he says
that early in the morning of June
10 he heard a strange noise In Leon's
room adjoining his and looking over
the transom saw the girl lying
on the bed with a bloody towel over
the mouth. He passed through the
room, he says, to go out to wash
his hands, and as he did so felt the
body, which was still warm. He
went down to the chop suey restau-
rant below and then returned to the
room.
Leon, in the meantime, had cov
ered the body with a blanket up to
the chin and had pulled a trunk to
thf middle of the floor. The trunk
Leon was calmly emptying, prepara
tory to placing the body therein.
The rope with which the body was
bound was lying on the floor at the
time, according to Chung Sin. Once
again he went down stairs, said
Chung Sin, where he remained until
Leon called him. When he entered
the room the body was not visible,
having been bound with the rope and
placed in the trunk.
At this point of the story the
Chinaman was asked savagely if he
had not assisted Lt-on in putting the
body in the trunk. Chung stared
perceptibly, but said that he had
uo hand in it.
T did not see her uo more," said
Chung Sin, “and when I asked Leon
how she died he said she had bitten
her tongue and bled to death.” Leon
told him. Chung Sin added, that he
was going to send the trunk to Jer
sey City, thence to Europe. As a
matter of fact it lay untouched in the
stuffy little room until Sun Ling,
proprietor of the restaurant below,
noticed the oder about the building
and summoned the police.
Until Chung Sin's complete ac
count is made public it will not be
explained why he saw the dead girl
and the preparation for the removal
of the body with such apparent un
concern at the time. Also, despite
repeated interrogations he declined
to say just what happened in the rear
room when the girl was murdered.
He admitted having heard a scuf
fle n the room during the night and
told of Elsie having arrived on the
previous afternoon, the day when
she disappeared from her home.
"Did Leon take her there or did
she go of her own accord,” he was
asked.
“She went there alone,” he repli
ed.
"Was she in love with Leon or
Leon in love with her?” was another
question.
At this Chung Sin relapsed into
silence and then only smiled and
shook hi? head. He indicated, how
ever, that the girl had sought out
the Chinaman. Incidentally he said
that Leon Ling and r Chu Gain had
come to blows over the girl in China
town some weeks ago. The police
theory is that Leon killed the girl
because of her attention to Chu Gain.

A.CRUEL ERROR.
Thought He Was Free Rut Got Full
Life Sentence.
A feeling of hope of freedom, held
out to a prisoner In a Chicago court
Wednesday, was snatched from him
in a way that caused a sigh of pity
to spread among the spectators.
The prisoner was Frank O'Donnell,
accused of robbing a citizen at the
point of a revolver. The foreman
handed the clerk two forms, one
for guilty and the other for acquit
tal.
“Not guilty,” read the clerk, ab-
sentmlndodly failing to note that he
was reading the unsigned form.
O'Donnell jumped from his seat,
excitedly laughing, and wrung his
lawyer's hand. He started from the
room with his head in the air and
his eyes sparkling. Then the mis
take was discovered and O'Donnell
was brought back. His head sank
on his chest as the real verdict was
delivered.
“Guilty and condemned to serve
the term of his natural life in pris
on.”
