NEW YORK, May 21. — Albert T. Foster, proprietor of the Hotel Algon- quin, is unaware of the whereabouts of Mrs. Foster and her little daughter, Dorothy, In despair at not being able to trace them, tempts lasting nearly a month, he has after ineffectual at- offered a reward for information. Foster gave out a statement as fol- lows: “Matters which occurred following my departure on a trip to the West were only recently brought to my at- tention. There is grave apprehension for the health of the child. I feel it will not be proper to make any further statement of this unfortynate affair at this time. The facts will all be proved when the time for so doing arrives.” For some reason the anxious husband and father seems to be convinced that the trip he took to California several months ago had some bearing on the absence of his wife and child. He left this city on January 25 and returned on February 19. His family in the mean- time lived at the Alonquin. Mrs. Foster expressed a wish to visit her mother at Brockton and left on a train for Boston at 10 o’clock on the morning of April 15. She took with her the little girl and the latter’s nurse. It was not until ten days later that Foster had occasion to become uneasy over his wife’s trip to Massachusetts. She wrote to him, he says, that she did not intend to return home, adding that she had discharged the nurse, and that the latter probably would inform him why she had taken that step. The Fosters are prominent in soclety here. —_—————— The number of bills discounted by the Bank of France and its branches in 1903 was 18,435,938.
