VOL. LIIL.—NO. 25 NO WORD FROM MISS ARNOLD | Cablcd Daughter ot Wealthy New York Man Dis- appeared on the Evening of Dec. 12 Last THEORIES OF SEARCHERS EXHAUSTED Family and Police have not the Slightest Idea of the ‘Whereabouts of the Young Woman—What the Fam- ily have Done in Efforts to Locate Her—A Suggestion that She May have Fallen Into Central Park Lake. New York, Jan. 29.—Througn John Keith, of counsel for the family, the relatives of the missing Dorothy Ar old told in part tonight what they ave dome in their efforts to find her, what theories they have hel and how those theories have been '*hnusted. So far as new developments go, the family and the police are no nearer an fden of where the girl is tonight than they were on the night of December 13, when she falled to return from the hridge party where she was thought to be. Mn Kelth insisted that he has been explicit turoughout end, in ask- ing the co-operation of the press, has made no reservations. Mr. Griscom Eliminated From the Case. “The name of a Mr, Griscom, a Mr. eorge C. Griscom, Jr. of Pittsburg, has come into the case In certain quar- ters,” said Mr. Keith, “and I want to explain just how the Arnold family ands and has stood with regard to Griscom. {iss Arnold knew Mr. Griscom, as she kmew many other men. In going through her correspondence after she disappeared they found his mame and three other names of young men of New York of whom we thought it necessary to investigate just as we in- vestigated everything and everyone who might have the most remote bear sng on the case. Dorothy Arnold was not a girl to whom the flattery of men meant much, but we investigated everything. “Well, in the courss of this in- vestigation we decided to call on all Miss Arnold's classmates at Bryn Mawr and other young men who knew her well for information of any parti- cular man with whom she might have heen on especially friendly terms. Mr. Oriscom was suggested. One girl was sure Dorothy had not heard from Mr. Griscom for two weeks before he went abroad. MHe sailed on November 1910. “In those ways we did the natural thirg, we went to the best knowa (iriscom in New York, Mr. Lioyd Gris- com sald that George Griscom was a astant relative whom he had not seen in twenty years. Fe was able (o refer us, however, to an aunt in Pittsburg, and from her we learned that GeorzeC. Griscom, Jr., was in Floreace, Italy, wih his father and mother. Bappened that there wers two young women in Florence at that time with whom Dorothy had been very irn- timate, glso, as sisters might be So we sent & cable to those young women asking them to inquire of Mr. Gris- com for ws what he might know of Dorothy and to send us back word by cable if he had anything important 1o tell. What he had to tell was so unimportant that they merely wrote. Mr. Griscom was from the case, 1o aim whatever.” Family is Holding Nothing Back. Keith added that John W, A»- o suspicion attaches A | December 12, thereupon eliminated | nold, the brother who returned from tbroad yesterday insisted that he knew nothing of his sister's disappearance beyond what a brief cable message him home had to tell, salled for Europe, on business, on January 3, more than a fortnight after Dorothy was first missed. He closed some con- tracts for his father while abroad, Mr. Keith said, .and also made a trip to Florence, where he saw Mr. Griscom. That was on January 18, and he sail- ed for home January 21. “We have no theories left” con- cluded Mr., Keith. “We are conceal- ing nothing and the only reason some people think we behave as if we were is because the whole affair is so much of a mystery to us.” Mr. Keith denied that the family had any reason to believe Miss Arnold was in the habit of receiving letters from abroad at the general delivery window of the postoffic A Letter From a Buffalo Hgspital. A letter to which the family attach- ers some importance was received to- day from Buffalo, dated January . It was written from a hospital there, but Mr. Keith refused to give the sign- | eeree’s name or the name of the hos- pital. He read this excert from the letter: lady here. She is si Come and see.” "here | d. She is instin. in b And One Dated New York City January 28. Other letters from all over the coun- try continue to pour in. The one in which the father places the most credence is dated New York City, Jan- ary 28, and reads in part: “Don’t yom think it possible that your daughter might have walked near the large lake in Central park and per- haps to pick up something walked too near and slipped in? The lake always looks pretty—winter and summer.” The heartbroken father still believes his daughter is dead. Positive She Saw s Arnold at Cen- tral Park West. The possibility of Miss Arnold hav- ing been attacked in ‘the park was thought by Mr. Arnold tonight to be strengthened by the account which a woman brought to the house. ~This woman was positive she saw Miss Ar- nold in a well known store near the 72nd street entrance to the park, on the afternoon she dis- appeared. It was nearly dark then, she said. and when she Jaft the store she walked towards Central park West, Mr. Keith added wnight that the possitiveness of the woman's sState- ment had af but convineed him that reh of the lake m Central park might be worth while. On the night of Miss Arnold’s disappearance that lake frosen over and as it has remamed | since then a body, if n the lake, would probably not have been discovercds —— i SR B LT e R e ) HUNGARIAN BARON ELTZ WORKS AS DAY LABORER. | At Lawrence, Mass., Learning the' De- tails of Mill Construction.

ILL FEELING AGAINST EVERYTHING AMERICAN. Serious Demonstrations in Ecuador Over Proposed Lease of Galapagos Islands to the United States—Deal May Fail. Guayaquil, Ecuador, Jan. 20.—The opposition of the people to the pro- posed lease of the Galapagos Islands to the United States has resulted in the most serious demonsirations of ill feeling against everything American seen here in many years. The dis- orders which bagan Friday were con- tinued all through Saturday, and at noon today an immense crowd, num- bering not less than 10,000 persons headed by Ignacio Robles, marched to the government palace for the purpose of protesting to President Alfaro. Troops with loaded rifles prevented the crowds from approaching and only Robles was received by the president, as the people’s delegate. He informed President ~Alfaro that I doreans were opposed to any negotiations with the United States on the subject of the Galapagos Ielands. After a lengthy interview the president said that in view of the manifest opposition the government would desist in its pro- posal to otiate the lease. Notwit] ding this promise the crowds still remained in the streets, parading in many of the thorough- fares. Mounted troops have been d tributed in all parts of the city for the purpose of maintaining order. De- tachments of armed guards also sur- rounded the palace. President Alfa- ro has been arranging for a meeting of prominent men from various parts of the republic to ascertain the coun- try’s opinion on the question and, so far as is known, it has not yet been determined to abandon this conference.

New York, Jan. 29.—A thousand men an? wcmen marching down Broadway arly tomght behind a large anarchis- t'c barner bruight out the police r serves, whose forcible arrest of the al- leged jeaders caused a small riot. The parade followed a large meeting in a hall on the East Side late today, at which speakers denounced the exe- cution in_Toklo last week of a dozen persons charged with plotting against the life of the emperor of Japan. It is alleged that the-crowd was marching onto the Japanese consulate with the red flag to male a further demonstra- tion there when Patrolman Reilly ghted the crowd surging into Broad- way. Men and women foreigners on the outside ks were handing out circulars in Itaiian and Russian to the onlookers and the paraders were vie- ing with each other in shouting. “Kili the Japanese!” could be heard in the babel. Reilly stepped in the path of the crowd and demanded if they had a permit to parade. As he did so the flag bearer tossed the rad banner to another man and bolted through the crowd. R went after him and finally cornered him in the hallway of an office building. Reilly had difficulty in holding the man and had it not been for a small boy he would have lost his prisoner. The lad ram up and asked i€ he could help. “¥es” said Reilly. “Reach into my hip pocket and pull out the whistle. . Blow as hard as you can” That was something a boy can do with & vim and this boys _call brought three other policemen from neighboring posts. One ran back to send a call for reserves and twenty more officers ran to the rescue. The flag bearer gave his naem as Benjamin Weinstein of Brooklyn, a Russian tailor. The crowd became riotous when 1t learned of his cap- ture and one after another of the leaders threatened the police. The officers finally dispersed the crowd. BORDER TOWN CAPTURED BY MEXICAN REBELS.

PRESIDENT UNCONCERNED About the Situation—Disregards Mere Political Objections, Whether from Insurgents or Stand-Patters. . Washington, Jan, 29.—Embarrassed is a mild word to define the predica- ment in which republican members of congress found themselves since President Taft submitted his pro- gramme for a reduction in the cost of l(ying, tl_‘lroug‘h the medium of commer- cial reciprocity with Canada. Predictions \That Party Will Be Dis- rupted. High pretectionists, confident of the sympathy of the executive, have not hesitated to go to the WHhit6 House with predictions that the party will be disrupted if the programme is is- sisted upon. Insurgent republicans, many of whom have become un customed to go to the White House al all, have been pursuing the policy of silence. While some of them are ready to admit that the proposed agreement is in line with their tariff arguments in the past, they fear to adopt it lest they bring ugon their heads the wrath of agriculturalists. President Meets all Arguments. President Taft appears to be about the only one who is showing no con- cern about the situation. He is said to have met all arguments against the agreement with a determination to dis- regard mere political objections, whether they come from stand-patters or_insurgents. That President Taft realizes fully what arguments would be advanced by protectionists against freedom of trade relations with Canada is proven by the fact that not a single member of the ways and means committee of the house or the finance committee of the senate was apprised in advance as to what articles would be affected by the treaty. His consultations weve clusively with the government trade experts and only sach of those as were believed to be beyond political infiuence. In nothing that he has done since he had been president, has Mr. Taft displayed so much Independent spirit. held ex- Mysterious Situation. Progressive republicans are deriv- ing some comfort from the fact that Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon and numerous . others of the “old guard,” were apparently as much in the dark as anyone else about the president’s plans. The progressives admit that the situation is mystifying. They knew. they were not being call- ed in during the negotiations with Can- ada’s commercial represemtatives but they learn that the stand-patters were equaliy neglected. President Counts Upon the Masses. The question which has arisen naturally is “How can President Taft expect to bring about favorable action on the agreement without having the support of some faction of his ewn party in congress? Some want to know if Mr. Taft is depending wholly upon the known democratic support for the programme. These who have taken the trouble to talk with the president about the matter are said to have been told that he counts upon the people generallf, the masses who think he is trying to lower the @ost of food, to create sentimeni necessary to induce congress to act. Ready With Fortifying Figures. The annual dinner of the Ohio so- clety is to be held in this city to- morrow night and President Taft is to be one of the speaikers, It is expected that he will take this occasion to say something about reeippecity. Poli- tical leareds are wonderfng if he will tell the diners what he to de if congress fails to act on agree- ment at the present session. There has been a great deal of talk of an extra session if the reciprocity legislation fails and it is known that much of this talk was brought from the White House by men who enjoy coafidential relations with the president. The tariff board, the buseau of statistics and other bodies which are analyzing constantly the economic questions involved in the commerce of this country, are ready to fortify Presi- dent Taft with any figures he may need in oarrying om & campaign ef education.

MRS. LAURA SCHENK OUT ON $10,000 BAIL. Released Saturday by Court enm Her Own Recognizance. Wheeling, West Va,, Jan. 29.—Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk, wife of John O. Schenk, whom she was charged with attempting to poison, was released on her own recognizance by Judge Jordan in the criminal court Saturday, the bail being left at $10,000. A few minutes befors she had been served with papers in a dlvorce ac- tion filed by her husband, in which it was stated that application will be made Kebruary 4 for an inmjunction to restrain her from communicating with or harassing her husband, or from interfering in any way with her ehildren Virginia and Robert Schenk, or from entering their house. The amount of alimony will also be ar- gued at that time. A counter suit for divorce is being prepared by Mrs. Schenk's counsel and the papers it i3 said, will be served early next weék. May Pay Costs of Her Trial. Since Schenk neglected to an- nounce that he would not be respon- sible for the debts contracted by bis wife, it is held that he will be called upon to pay the costs of the late trial, about $100,000. Immediately after the anmounce- ment that she was at Hberty Mrs. Schenk, acecompanied by her counsel, went to her tower reom in the jail, where plans for her immediate future were made. Seon afterward she entered the au- tomobile of Attorney J. J. P. O'Brien and was driven to the residence of Mrs. Lasch, her neighbor, who had testified for her during the trial.

When court convened, Saturday,Pros- ecutor Handlan stated that he had read in the newspapers that Isaac Heyman, the jurer who had voted against acquittal of Mrs. Schenk, had been boycofted by the trades peo- ple of Wheeltng and hissed by his neighbors.
