The quest of the missing Dorothy Ar- nold was vividly recalled at Headquar- ters to-day when a detective from the Mount Vernon police force called with the request that a general alarm be sent out in this city for Dorcas lyams Snodgrass, one of the most popular Members of the younger social set in the Chester Hill section of Mount Ver- non, She left the home of her brother- {n-law to come to New York at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning and the city swallowel her up, leaving not a trace. The circumstances gurrounding the Ateanncarance of Mivs Snodgrass follow, almost tally tor y, those gttending ; the mystery of Dorothy Arndld, Like Dorothy Afnold she left a home of Wealth, that of John L. Crider at No. 14 Wallace avenue, Mount Vernon, to Qo some shopping in New York. As the former sensational case, Mis# Snodgrass was seen by two who knew her an hour after she had left her home: Like Miss Arnold, she was a col- lege girl, bright, vivacious, popular In society, for whose disappearance no possible reason see: to exist at Present. : MADE HER HOME WITH A MARRIED SISTER, Ming Snod,@ass is a West Virginian who has made her home with her mar- ried sister, Mrs. Crider, since she left college six years ago.

Miss Snodgrass recently became en- waged to Adolph Schmidt, an electrical engineering contractor who had busl- ness relations with Mr. Crider and who had met the young college graduate at nce last winter. It had been fanned that before winter came again Schmidt should go to California, and there he and Miss Snodgrass would be married. ‘The’ girl, though her family's means put her far beyond the spur of neces- sity, had always had a strong penchant for medicine and the art of nursing, so her sister, Mrs, Crider, told an Evening World reporter to-day, and Miss Snod- had spent the last year in the training school connected with the Mount Vernon Hospital, She had resigned from her class 4 week ago yesterday in order to prepare for the impending trip to California because of late the heat had greatly depresed her.

Scott Himself Chipped in About $40,000 to Push Cam- paign for Republican Victory. WASHINGTON, July 22.-How George W. Perkins, who Is boosting Col, Roose- velt for re-election, rendered financial first aid to the Colonel when he was running in 1004 was told to the Senate committee investigating campaign con- tributions to-day by ex-Senator Nathan B, Scott of West Virginia. Scott was @ National Committeeman in 1904. “Perking asked me as to the situation in my State," the witness sald. “I told him there was @ big fight on the Re- Publican Gubernatorial candidate, and some doubt as to his re-election.” Per- kina said he was a friend of Roosevelt and wouldn't like to seo West Virginia go Democratic, so gave me $15,000 to help tn the campaign there." “How much did youssentribute in 19067" asked Senator Clapp. “Nothing to the National campaign home at No. 20 Echo place, the Bronx. Those of his friends who believe they know say that old Adolphe came to take his life because his wife, the one-time rosy cheeked German girl who had) helped him cull water If_fes from Rock- | land Lake years and year: and had woven with deft fingers maiden- the hatr among the tuberores in his first Uttie flower shop in New York, died two | months ago. It was #0 lonely for old Adalphe then; then flowers in his Bow- ery shop, at No, 22, had so lost their savor that old Adolphe could not se good reason why he should stay longer in a world where there wes no perfume. So he went to the bathroom in his home last night, opened an artery in one of his wrists and turned on the fas to make esure. Perhaps even then in those last moments the little Alsatian who once was a friend of Wallack, (he Beau Brummel of the old Rialto, and whose flowers were worn in the corsages of grand ladies of the seventies, won- dered how many would recall Le Monit, the old florist, when he was gone, BACK IN SIXTIES THEY OPENED, FLOWER SHOP ON BROADWAY, Just when LeMoult and the little German girl, whose constant smile was her husband's lasting and best adver- tisemnt, cam to this country and start- 4 the little flower shop on Broadway nobody just knows. Anyway, it was ‘way back in the sixties and the shop was nothing more than a few panes of glass set in the sides of a small booth on a populous Broadway crossing some- where downtown where the wholesale district now {9 achelor’s buttons and old-fashioned pinks and dainty Jacquemont roses— flowers of the past fashton—were ‘Adolphe's stock in trade in those days, It 1# remembered by old timers that once, when he had but a young and! struggling business, Adolphe and his wife played @ secret and romantic part in a love affair, They concealed the notes that an ardent lover left for them in the buds of half-opened roses, and then faithfulhy delivered these postes at the home of the young person whose papa had a violent aversion to the swain, Success came to L# Moult as the years went on.

McCook, who gave $1,000, He knew of no money recelved from J, Pierpont Morgan or Henry Havemeyer, or any “trust” mag- nates. Chairman Cortelyou, the witness ex- plainod, ordered that none should be ac- cepted from such sources. The Amert- can Protective Tariff League, Scott sald, furnished the campaign literature in 1904, but the committee paid for it “In good hard cash.” “How about the Perkins contribu- asked Senator Clapp, ‘Well, I that Mr. Perkin: tion was @ personal matter of his own,’ sald Mr. Scott, “because of the per- sonal relations that exists between him and President Roosevelt.” “Was Mr, Perkins at that time a member of J, P, Morgan & Co? asked Senator Jones. Mr, Scott did not know, “Do you know whether Mr, Perkins interceded with the President as to the taking over of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company,” asked Senator Paynter, “I don't know anything about the matter,” sald the witness, Mr. Scott said he knew of no one connected with the Steel, Ol! or Beet “trusts” who had given anything to the campaign. It had been the settled pol- {cy of George B, Cortelyou and Corne- lus N, Bliss as the heads of the com- mittee to make !t known that no such contributions would be received, he said. “My own corporation never gave a dollar to the eampalgn,” he added. Mr, Scott was then a glass manufacture Asked about any activities of the American Protective Tariff League {n the campaign, he said the league had furnished some campaign material, but it had been paid in cash for its work, and had never contributed directly or indirectly to the campaign.

Ay.Sorgner, Feinberg without bail + to-day on the charge that they were accessories before the fact to the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Harford T. Marshall, appearing for both men, asserted that no facts had been brought out to show that either of his clients had any knowledge of the murder before it occurred and that they were being held in the Tombs without bail without warrant of law and contrary to their constitutional rights, Justice Giegerich granted the writs, making them returnable before himself to-morrow morning. They were served immediately on Warden Fallon in the Tombs. The news that the accused gambiers had begun to make an aggressive fight against the police and the District-Attorney was flashed about town and aroused the keenest interest wherever sporting men were congregated, Jack Rose, Sam Paul, “Bridgie’ Webber, William Shapiro and Louis Libby, all held by the police for complicity in the murder of Her- man Rosenthal on the brightly lighted sidewalk in front of the New Metropole Hotel at 2 o'clock last Tuesday morning, just before Rosen- thal was to tell District-Attorney Whitman of a bargain between gam- blers and the police, were arraigned Js¢fore Coroner Feinberg to-day. The Coroner sat as a committing magistrate to determine if Rose, Shapiro and Libby should continue to be prisoners without bail and if Webber and Paul should be held at all. Libby and Shapiro, owners of the gray auto In which Shaplro took the assassins to the scene of the crime and in which the gang escaped, made no objection to returning to the Tombs to await“ ‘other hearing on Thursday. WHITMAN USES ROSE’S WORDS TO HOLD HIM. Lawyer James M. Sullivan, for Rose, objected vehemently on behalf of his client. Rose ought to be admitted to bail, ‘he said. District-Attorney Whitman promptly put Deputy Commissioner Dougherty on the stand to tell of the voluntary statements of Rose as to his movements on the day before the murder and at the time it occurred. This was Rose's day, in brief, as Mr. Dougherty told it: From his home at Arverne to the city; to the Sam Paul Association and thereabouts, to the Lafayette Baths, to Dora Gitbert’s with a re- porter for a morning newspaper, to the latter’s office to supply that newspaper with Dora Gilbert's affidavit, blackening Rosenthal’s repu- tation; to Tom Sharkey’s in a red automobile, which there broke down; into the gray Libby-Shapiro car, which had been called from the Cafe Boulevard; to the home of Rose's brother-in-law, Max Blaumer, at Seventh avenue and One Hundred and Fortieth street; to Sixth avenue near Forty-third street; into Jack's to see if anybody was around, and then (here the story was vague) to Broadway amd Forty-second street, where somebody ran up to him and told him Rosenthal had been shot, Mr. Dougherty also told of the statements of Shapiro, which corrobor- ated the statements of Rose, Mr. Whitman sald that he had shown testimony enough to warrant | the holding of Rose as the man who hired the murderers’ car and took \it near to the scene of the murder and hung about until the murder was ‘done. Over Mr. Sullivan's loud protest, the Coroner held Rose, as he had held Libby and Shapiro, until Thursday morning. | “Bridgle’ Webber was held after a short narrative by Dougherty, giv- ling Webber's story of his whereabouts on the night of the murder, supple- an account of Shapiro's statement that the actual murderers got into the y cur at Webbers place and went to the Metropole.
