Greater York Jersey City mnd Newark C IN HARLEM LAUNDRY Police Search a Place in Street and Take Away eral Bundles LING'S TRUNK TAKEN THERE Tells of Carrying it from the Eighth Avenue ment by McCafferty The police late last night received a new clue in the case of Elsie Sigel the girl missionary who was in the rooms of Leon Ling at Eighth nue A man who said he was an expressman called at the West Forty-seventh Street Station about midnight last night and told the Lieutenant at the desk that on June 9 he had taken a trunk from the building at 782 Eighth Avenue to a Chinese dry in West Street The man said he did not remember the number of the laundry Detective Foster of the West Forty-seventh Street Station was sent out with the man to investigate his story It was however that yesterday afternoon three Central Office detectives visited the laundry of Man Lee at 370 West Street and searched his place They carried away with them several dles tied up in newspaper and when they departed closed the laundry putting a police padlock on the door The was not visible during these After a conference at Police ters late yesterday between Commissioner Deputy Commissioner Woods and Inspector McCafferty the head of the Detective Bureau ten detectives were sent to Paterson Passaic Hackensack and other towns in New Jersey on a clue that it was hoped might lead to the cap- ture of Leon Ling The conference followed information that Ling had been seen in one of the Jersey towns within a day or so The police it was understood were told that he had found refuge with a Chinaman of his acquaintance McCafferty Sure of Getting Ling After the detectives had started for New Jersey Inspector McCafferty gave out an authorized Interview in which he expressed the opinion that Leon Ling was alive and would be caught It was the first time since his detectives began ing on the case that the Inspector had committed himself to that extent Not only Inspector McCafferty say he was sure Leon but he went into details in presenting the theory upon which the police are now working as to the movements of Ling immediately after the murder He also discredited a tale exploited yesterday that u suitcase filled with the missing clothes of Elsie Sigel was left with a Chinese in Harlem the afternoon of the murder His detectives had gated that rumor the Inspector said and could find no basis for it He also made it clear that Chong Sing roommate of Leon Ling has not cleared himself of in connection with the murder Inspector McCafferty in telling the ex- tent of the police work said that fifty detectives from Headquarters had been searching through various cities of the East for of Leon Ling since the night of June 18 when Elsie Sigel's body found in the trunk in Ling's den Besides these detectives the police in- has been aided by the ties of every city in the country If Leon Ling is still in this said Inspector McCafferty there can be no escape for him The moment he leave the country if he has not already done so he will be caught Of that I am bure I am inclined to believe he has not fled to another country and I am sure he is alive The only vessel on which Leon could have escaped for we have investigated every possible chance of his getting away on steamers was one that will reach Yo- kohama on July 3 When it touches at that port the steamer will be searched and if Ling is on it he will be ar- rested We are satisfied that he did not take passage on any other steamer If it turns out that he Is not on that one then we will be sure in the event that he is i not captured in the meantime that he is hiding somewhere in this country Not Other Suspects There has been some talk about complices of Leon Ling for whom the police are supposed to be con- the Inspector We are not any one but Leon Ling We be- lieve that he committed the murder There Is no evidence that he had an accomplice unless it was Chong Sing and he is ly behind the bars No one is under outside of these two Will you say what evidence if any you have to show Chong complicity in the was asked I cannot go Into that at this replied the Inspector Mr McCafferty went on to say that ho was certain that Leon Ling was the son who sent the telegram from ton In the night of June 9 to Elsie Sigel's father telling him to worry For Ling to have done this the Inspector admitted it was necessary for the fugitive man to move rapidly after the murder tmt he believed Ling cunning enough to have calculated his time so as to crowd in all that he appears to have done The known facts in the case so far as our investigation gles are said the Inspector in accounting for Leon Ling's movements Elsie was killed be- tween 10 and o'clock at 782 Eighth Avenue on June 9 Leon Ling without any doubt was the murderer aided by Chong Sing Immediately after the murder Leon Ling leaving the girl's body in the trunk in his room hurried to Washington He prepared the telegram which was later in the night sent to Paul Sigei the girl's father then hurried back to this city in time to take the trunk to Newark How Ling got the trunk there we are not as yet certain but it is established that he reached the restaurant of Li Sing in ark with it between 1 and 2 o'clock the morning of June 10 Ling returned to Li restaurant about 2 o'clock that afternoon with a cab driven by James Halstead and got the trunk It was then brought back to the Eighth Avenue house Ling ing to carry it to his room From nis point we have no trace of Leon Ling Where he went after leaving his victim's m his room we have been unable to Continued on 3 SUBWAY FLOOD AND TIE-UP Rain and a Error Mix Up Schedule on Upper Broadway Line A flood which caused a fuse to blow out the derailment of two ears a mistake by a switchman and a mar run over and killed constituted a of accidents last evening on the Broad way Una of the Subway each of which caused more or less provoking delays The most serious from the latter of view was thei derailment which tie up north and south bound traffic between Dyckman Street and the Ship Cana at Street from 7 o'clock unti P M The trouble began shortly before 5 o'clock when the homeward rush had just started The heavy rainstorm which seemed to spend Its force over Washing ton Heights was responsible for the flooding of the Street Subway Sta tion which lies in a hollow The water poured down the stairways until the tracks were covered a foot deep At a northbound train heavily laden was pulling into the station when a fuse blew out causing a short circuit There was a flash a lot of smoke and the lights went outt The front car caught fire which coupled with the shrieks of affrighted women passengers added to the con- fusion Fortunately however the train was soon emptied of passengers anc seven minutes later traffic was resumed No one was hurt but it was said that two women passengers fainted Two hours later a Dyckman Street train was switching from the centre track to the southbound track just of that station and six cars of the train had negotiated it safely when the switchman back the switch key too soon so that the two cara bft the rail and plowed their way some distance tearing up the ties and demolishing the third rail By the time the train was pulled up the last car lay in such a position that all traffic was blocked It took a crew three hours to repair the damage so that the first train cut could proceed In the meantime northbound trains were run up as far as Street then sent back on the same track to Street where they were switched to the southbound track Passengers bound further north than Street had to get to their tions by other means of transit While all this was going on August Apart a track walker working where near Street was run down and killed by a southbound train TO MAKE LUSITANIA SPEEDIER New Propellers to be Make Her a The Cunard liner which sails to-morrow for Liverpool with her first and second class cabins will He up for ten days on her arrival on the other side to have her propellers changed The two brass solid propellers on the high pressure turbines are to be re- placed by two smaller one's which it is hoped will enable the liner to get away quicker on starting and give her more speed The manganese bronze propellers that were used once for the will be placed on the two low-pressure turbines of the The new propellers will measure about thirty feet in diameter and cost each In addition it is understood that the pitch will be altered by giving the a twist that will get a firmer grip on the water It is hoped that when the Lusitania leaves Liverpool on her next voyage July 17 she will be able to age twenty-six knots on her passage across but it is not expected that she will take away the blue ribbon of the Atlantic from the Mauritania She ably stiffened aft after her first is not so supple as her sister ship On the Lusitania to-morrow go the of- and crew of the wrecked Slavonia to attend the British Board of Trade In- which will be held in the Admiralty Court London They all feel sorry for Capt Dunning who is still on board the Slavonia with Officer Anderson but they regret still more deeply the Cap- obliging disposition which caused him to take his ship seventy miles out of her direct course to Gibraltar pile her on the rocks to gratify the whim of the passengers who had petitioned him to let them see beautiful Flores Owing to the crowded state of the loons the officers of the Slavonia will have to travel across in quarters specially fitted up for them in the steerage

going on between the officials of the First Congregational Church one of the leading churches of Middletown and Dr J B Hulett a prominent physician The church hag handsome grounds ing it and immediately adjoining them are the house and barn of Dr Hulett Some months ago the church people dered Dr Hulett to remove some refuse from the church property which they had come from tha physician's barn The physician said that the refuse did not come from his barn and refused to remove it After several wordy encounters between the church Trustees and the physician the Trustees caused an rough board fence to be built between their property and Dr Hulett's property The fence is close to the handsome barn of Dr Hulett and shuts off the light and air The doctor requested the officials of the church to either remove the fence or lower it so that it would not cover up his windows but they refused to do so and the public is awaiting developments Sunday when the members of the con- went to church they looked to see if the board fence was still in tion thinking that maybe the physician might have chopped It down The fence was still there but above it and over- looking the churchyard was a sign feet long and 4 feet high and on it ed in large letters was the quotation He who wantonly cutteth off his bor's light shall be an abomination in the eyes of all his people The church people gasped and then read the sign again Then the majority laughed and all through the services smiles were seen on their faces Bibles were searched for the quotation but it could not be found To-day every one Is laughing at improvised Scripture quotation opinion is that he has somewhat better of the church Trustees They are waiting to see whether the church people will take down the fence or Dr Hulett

WINDOWLESS DEN An Odd Brick Structure In a yard That Puzzled Folk A substantial square brick structure occupies practically the entire backyard of a certain respectable stone residence In West Forty-third Street One of several peculiar things about this backyard structure is Its lack of dows A row of small round portholes about twenty feet from the ground furnishes it with air but not with light The roof too although it has a ventilating apparatus seems to have no skylight No one on the outside dently could possibly look into the ing It Is entirely safe from evidence ters and spies Another strange thing about the yard building is the way in which it is connected with the very looking brownstone house in front of it The connection Jg apparently a short a few feet above the ground But this passage Is carefully masked both by an unusually high board fence and a white and buff awning An iron grating also runs all the way up between tho two buildings as high as the rear roof This
