Where Supposed Murderer of

Have Been Located
New York June 29 The concentra-
ilon of more than fifty detectives hi
the narrow ferrlloiy comprising I' it-
et son Passaic I.Iackensack and other
neighboring towns in New Jersey
lends color to the belief that some
important information as to where-

murderer of Elsie Sigcl is in posses-
sion of the authorit.ie.

New York bureau Five out last night
the first authentic s'atement on the
murder of Klsle Kigti that has been
made by the police since the discov-
ery of the girl's body on June IS in a
u link in the bedroom of Leon Ling
an Americanized Chinaman in Eighth
avenue.
"We shall catch the murderer" the
inspector situ ''Delay does not. alter
that alihough it chafes us. The whole
country is one vast rat trap with ev
ery exit guarded.
"The girl was killed between 10
o'clock iu the morning and noun of
June 9 and iwe believe. Leon Ling is
ihe man who did It with Clunsg Si la
his Intimate as a ixisslhle accomplice.
We have Cluing Sing.
"From his room in Eighth avenue
Leon Ling went straight to Washing-
ton and there sent Ihe Don't Worry'
telegram signed 'Elsie.' received on
ihe night of the rnunler by the Sigel
family.
"From Washington he returned to
New York and somewhere about mid-
night of June 4 took the body In a
tiunk to New irk arriving there about
2 a. m. on June 10. We don't know
how he look it. Tho leg of the jour-
ney has not been accounted for. All
rvailahl; records of the va ions taxi-
cab companies have boon searched.

numerous rale hearings before the
commission and repeatedly submitted
by the railroad companies that the
cost of service was u general cri-
terion for rates; til: at rates should
be based upon the cost of service
and in no case should rates be made
less 'than the cost of service. How-

able to say what the cost of rervice
was. It now become necessary for
the commission to find on its own

really Is and ft' is order is an in-
