Washington, April 9.—Besieged by requests from municipalities in their districts for some guns captured by the Americans from the Germans and ' Austrians, members of congress who ‘have arrived In Washington for the 'special session beginning Monday are wondering how they can get the sur- rendered war material out of the warehouse at Port Newark terminal, New Jersey, where it has been stored since arriving in the United States. Thousands of fleld and machine guns, howitzers, trench mortars and rifles, and nearly a million smaller articles, ranging from ornamented helmets to Uhlan lances, were brought back from Europe by the victorious “Yanks” but their distribution as relics has been delayed by a dead- lock in congress as to the method of assigning them to localities. The legislation is needed before the | material can be released. In the last congress the senate passed a bill pro- viding for distribution of the cap- tured pieces for states, according to the number of troops furnished dur- ing the war, This plan had war de- partment approval but the house ob- Jected and amended the bill to pro- vide for tors and representatives. The houses never got together on point and the bill dled. two this MYSTERY NOT SOLVED New York Police Deny Truth of Al leged Statement Regarding Disap- pearance of Dorothy Arnold. New York, April 9.—The name of Dorothy Arnold, whose disappearance on December 12, 1910, furnished one of the most baffling mysteries in the last decade, is still recorded at police headquarters as an ‘“open’” or un- solved case, officials announced today. The announcement was made as a result of a statement last night (print- ed in another column) by Acting Cap- tain John Ayers, head of the bureau of missing persons, that the case had been solved. His statement was made in a lecture before students of the High School of Commerce but he sup- plied no details of the solution. Officials at police headquarters ex- plained that the reason for the non- appearance of Miss Arnold's name on the records of Captain Ayers' office was that the bureau of missing per- sons was not organized as a separ- ate branch of the police department until long after the Arnold case arose. Duging investigation of her disap- pearance, it was sald, Saptain Ayers was a police licutenant and tqok no active part in the search. 0UT FOR HONORS Local Republican Club Pinochle Sharks to Play Waterbury Politic- fans Tonight—Iist of Players.
