Burns has dm retained by the Martin family to investigate the mys- tery of the disappearance of Joseph Wilberforce Martin of Memphis, Tenn. The American detective ts working quite independently of the Scotland Yard police officials, He is using his own European agent and following his own Mines. He has only two theorles— one that Martin is hiding voluntartly or involuntarily, and the other that he len at the bottom of the river, He scouts the idea of sulckle, and thinks it likely that Scotland Yard will solve the mystery within a couple of days, Mystery still surrounds the disappe: ance of Martin, who has been missing since April 3, While the discovery of his tom pocketbook first sus weated to the London police that the American had been murdered and his body thrown Into the Thames, they are now more inclined to the theory reeson, voluntary or enforced, ie ke ing hie whereabouts secret, The opera hat which the workman who picked up the pocketbook saw in the road, but left there, has been taken to the police by @ boy who found it the same morning. It, however, does not assist the police, as the boy took It to work with him, and it was used by him and his companions as @ football and afterward put in a horse's nonebag, where it remained until this morning, A piece of @ gold watch chain with :]4 Japel button attached, similar to the one worn by Mr, Martin was found with the opera hat. ‘The boy, however, has wince lost {t, but from the descrip- tion he, gives of it the police are con- vinced that {t was Martin's, The swivel was missing, a4 though the chain aight have been broken forcibly from the watch, As Martin carried it loosely in his pocket the breaking of the chain cannot be accounted for, Chief Inepector Ward hae been place! in charge of the cane and given the a sistance of all the available men of Scotland Yard, while the river poll continue to drag the bed of the Thames and 0 keep a sharp lookout for the body or for further evidence. It is pointed out that if Martin had been thrown into the river his body would have floated by this time un- less it had been caught by some ob- struction, All the big hotels in London have been visited without any Ight being thrown on the case, and the police are now making @ house to house search among the small hotels and lodging They that the country and for ie keeping his and boarding houses in the city. also working on the theory left are Martin has purposes of movements secret, The pocketbook and opera hat might | have been thrown from the window of a car of some train which had just left haye | Charing Cross station or might been carefully placed where they found, according to the polic Desperate criminals, the 6 be- Heve, would have destroyed them, for had Martin's disapearance been report- ed {mmediately these two articles would have given the police an immediate clue on which to work The only credit Martin ever had London bank waa exhausted on at the vecanion of a previo. velleved he carried credit notes. rs 82,000,000 for Flood Reltef, WASHIN A resolu- tion to appropriate $2,000,000 for the re- ef of flood sufferers in Iinola was ine oduced to-day by Representative vowler, | seOB AO EV EL RIK AeRCE Nsw fu 3 hat ' Leader of Oranges’ 500 Who Will | Canvass Towns to Aid Hospitals: 4 DEERE 44 0-04 4-409960001-000 900 WOMEN UNITE ¢ 3 3 ~ TOAD HOSPITALS : t Society Wives to Make House , : to House Canvass in the | ¢ Oranges.
