NOT ONE TRACE OF BLAISDELL ’ Friends and Relatives of Man ‘} Who Disappeared Ten Weeks | Ago Have Searched the Conti- nent for Him in Vain. BELIEVE HIM TO BE ALIVE. No Reason for Flight, So They Think \ le Wandered Away While Do- J “an..d from Overwork, a Victim ! of Lost Memory, Despite the efforts of the police of various cities, private detectives, tho world of clairvoyants and ¢he deter- mined search by relatives, the fate of Charles T. Blaisdell, cashier for Curtis & Blaisdell, coal dealers, at No, 120 Liberty streot, {s as much of a mys- tery as on the night of his disappear- ance, April 7. Clues without number have been fol- lowed all over the United States and into Mexico and Canada, without avail, Theories have been anced and fol- Jowed to thelr logical conclusions, yet Blaisdell $s still hidden from view, as completely as though the ground at Lexington avenue and street had opened, s¢ then closed again. E, E. Reu, who was Blaisdell's room- mate for six years at No. iif East Fifty-seventh street, first held to the {dea that Blaisdell had been lured to the coal docks at the foot of East Fifty- sixth strect, where he was cashier, murdered fo: the $1,000 worth of dia- monds which he wore and his body thrown into the river. But no traces of the body were discovered, and now Mr. Reu believes his friend ts alive and will some day return. All of the miss- ing man’s clothes, over forty sults, his diamonds, about $1,000 worth, and his personal, effects are still preserved at Mrs, Wellman's, where he roomed, awaiting his reappearance. Believe He Has Wandered of. “As Blaisdell was a man of most ex- eelient habits, neither smoking, drink- ing, gaming nor In love; a young man with the brightest of prospects, whose Grcnctal matters were in the best possl- ble condition,” said Mr. Reu, “we are ecrpelled to fall back on the theory that overwork temporarily unhinged his brain, causing a lapse of mamory, and the: while in this condition Mr. Blais- ell has wandéred away. James T. Abell, manager of the coal @ocks where the missing man was em- ployed, now holds a similar theory, al- though at first he feared that Blaisdell bad ceen murdered. “The firm and famlly have spared no expense in following clues which might feveal the fate of Mr. Blaisdell," sald Manager Abell. “It 1s only last weet thet we thought he had been located at Duluth, Minn., but Investigation showed our error, False leads, Information, the aayings of clairvoyants, letters, every- thing tending toward a salution of the Girappearance, nave been followed with- out success, The mystery regarding the fate of Mr. Blaisdell still deepens as time goes on. Accounts Straight to a Cent. “Tt was suggested that the accounts of Blaisdell might give a reason for his| Th disappearance. These were examined and, we are happy to say, were found @orrect to a cent. '“Mr. Blaisdell was greatly worrled during the coal strike, and worked hard and late to see “our customers were supplied. ‘Ihis may have proved too great a strain and when the relaxation ast Pifty-fourth ‘lowed him and } came it 1s possible the shock was tvo much for him. “Charles T. Blaisdell placed a young woman on a car at Lexington avenue apd Kast Fifty-sixth street on the night of April 7 at 10.39 o'clock. That is the last we know of his movements. The gearch 1s being prosecuted and will be no long as there Is any hope of finding him.” “DIPLOMAS” WERE ONLY BLANK PAPER Sixty-three “Graduates” Who] tie Participated in the Exercises of the Brooklyn Manual Train-| as ing High School Indignant. Members of the graduating class of the Manual Training High School, of Brooklyn, their parents and friends are in a great state of indignation to-day over the commencement exercises held last evening in the Columbla Theatre. According to the angry pupils the ex- ercises were all a bluff. The applause and the flowers, the dainty gowns of the sweet girl graduates, the young men in thelr first frock coats, the diplomas with the long blue ribbons, the throng of admiring and perspiring friends were all in evidence, and still it was all a Dluff, the sixty-three members of the clasy declare, because when they opened thelr “diplomas” they found only sheets of blank paper. ‘They were told later when they de- manded an explanation thut the exam- ination papers had not yet been cor- rected and no diplomas could be issued until that Interesting crisis had been passed. The young women, who formed % per cent. of the graduating clasy, whed bitter tears over the pecen ton to which they had been made parti “Think I'made my tather’ pay exclaimed one indignant faney what he will say if 1 haven’ t passed that examination." The outlook is not improved by the fact that Superintendent At tha time came around for examination, goncelved the brilliant idea of not hay- 4ng the final examination based on the ork of the past year, but of the ent cur years of the high school court ‘o one was any too sure d_scraped. through. hy there was, a0. much Birlomas were handed oui wd 80 much grief when ¢ THE WORLD: THURSDAY EVENING, JT CHARLES T. BLAISDELL, WHO HAS DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. IT'S CAPT. DOOLEY NOW FOR CONEY Commissioner Greene Not Sat- isfied with the Way the Ex- cise Law Was Being En- forced on the Island. Commissioner Greene 1s not satisfed with the way the law ts being enforced at Coney Island. He issued orders to-day transferring ‘axwell, when |} Capt. William Knipe from Coney Island to Butler street, Brooklyn. The Coney Island precinct will be given to Capt. Robert E. Dooley, now of the Bedford avenue precinct, and his place will be taken by Capt. Edward J. Toole, of Butler, street. Capt. Dooley ‘is known ‘as/= “terror” at enforcing the Excise law. Coney Island shivered when It heard the news. In view of the continued cold and wet fweather the stloon and concert men had hoped that thk Commissioner would be more iiberal in the future to allow them to mike up thelr losses. In a long letter to. Mayor Low Commissioner complained t he hs not enough money. He wants additional appropriation of | $218, ao walavion for aie mronthe of aaditionat sergeants and roundsmen. ‘The law authorizes 32 sergeants and roundsmen, but the vera adaitional sergeants and, rour ‘a he Commissioner also, ma quest for $104, back salaries due to the detect duced by. ‘arried the case to the courts, were ré- Instated and have applied for back pay.
