' i (i y ,
feftflw Directions Given by
Penitentiary Convict, Who
days He Ifelped to Bury
It in Cellar
FA1V UNSUCCESSFUL
,lTBW YORK, April H. About an old.
IVMitbliriK Colonial house, secluded on tna
ftkttktl of the Hudson, near West Point,
tred a search today for the body ot
Dorothy Arnold, missing New York
1 heiress, whose disappearance flva years
hM furnished a mystery buffKng- the
police of Europe and America.
In cold drlazle of rain score of curious
ourlal made their way over the moils
frm West Point to gaxe upon the bleak
J house. Convict Olcnnorrl., In Ithode
3Mnd penitentiary, nay It holds the
scret of the young woman's disappear
ance, inspector Faurot. In New York, Is
gathering eve'ry Item of Information re
garding tlio possible house of denth. He
admitted today that a portion of the cellar
had been dug up when he and four of his
detectives visited the place last night.
They failed to find a body, but the
Mrch has not been abandoned. On the
contrary, the Information gained so far
leads Faurot and his men to believe that
Glennorrla rriust have had a part In some
crime In the eectlon h has been able to
describe so minutely. Whether he actually
was a party to the burial of Dorothy
Arnold, Faurot Is not ready to concede,
but he now believes the convict's confes
sion and the old William Pell house on
the Hudson warrant the most thorough
Investigation,
Faurot and Detective Grant Williams
weht to West Tolnt to search for the house
In the cellar of which Olennorrls said the
body was burled after William visited
the convict In tlio Ithode Island penitenti
ary, It was learned today. Williams 'Is
thoroughly familiar with the West Point
district and was surprised at the knowl
edge Olennorrls had of the location of
different landmark.
"Williams did not tell Olennorrls that
ha knew the West Point section," Bald
Ftturoti "but Just let him tell of different
landmarks he was acquainted with. The
convict descrlbod the old colonial house,
how their roada lay and the house across
the way In which the light was burning.
Then ho told of the night trip In the
automobile during which the girl's body
was carried away and burled.
"He told Williams that statements that
the girl's face was veiled were Incorrect.
Ho nald he saw her face distinctly, and
that It was so strikingly like that of the
pictures he had seen of Dorothy Arnold
that ho asked who she was. Olennorrls
then said he waa told the girt was Dor
othy Arnold, He said he had no Idea how
he came to hcrdeath."
"Oolni; to West Point we located the
house answering Olennorrls general de
scription. Wo found that tho cellar floor
had apparently been repaired at one spot
Ince It was first laid. We began digging
there. After going down to considerable
depth we struck a sewer pipe. Thnt's all
we found, and we then returned here to
pick up the thread of our Investigation.
Later another trip may be made to the
bouse."
Faurot said that. In view of develop
ments, the Investigation would now bo
carried to the limit. If the story told by
Olennorrls Is not true, Faurot said ho
did not know what object the convict had
; In telling it, unless he hoped he might ho
released from the penitentiary for a time
to aid In the Investigation.

REAL AUTHOR 'EDUCATED
Injunction Against Publishers of Ba
conian Arguments Dissolved
After Long Study of Facts
CHICAOO, April 22. Francis Bacon
wns declared In n decision rendered In
nn Injunction suit yesterday by Judge
Richard S. Tuthlll, In tho State
Circuit Court, to bo the author of the
works of William Shakespeare Tho de
cision dissolved nn Injunction Issued on
the petition of William N. Sellg, motion
picture manufacturer, to restrain George
Fab) an, publisher, nnd others from com
pleting publication ot books supporting the
llaconlan theory.
The court held that tho narno Shake
spearo had been used as a disguise.
Judge Tuthlll, In his decision said:
"That William Shakespeare was born
April 23, 1B64 ; that ho went to London
nbout 1E86 or 1687; that for a time there
after he made his living working for Ilur
tinge; that he later becamo an actor In
Burbnge's theatre and In traveling theatri
cal companies; that ha retired about 1E09
or 1610 to live In Stratford-on-Avon,
where he engaged In buslnesi to tho time
of his death on April 23, 1616, and that
Shakespeare was not nn educated man,
are allegations which the court flndi true.
"Tho Court further finds that Francis
Bacon w.-n born Jnnuary 26, 1860; that
ho was educated not only In English, but
In French, Latin, Italian, German, and
had n general education equal to or su
perior to any one of his ago; that he
nas the compiler of a book of lfitiO axioms
and phrases selected from tho greatest
authors and books of nil times; that In
his youth literary people were frowned
upon In England, but In Paris literary
people were in the favor of tho rolgnlng
powers and literature was having a re
naissance. Bacon went to Paris In his
early youth and spent several years In
this atmosphere.
"Tho Court takes Judicial notice of his
torical facts and facts well known, and
finds that tlioro has been for GO years a
controorHy ocr tho authorship of cer
tain works which woro published shortly
after the death of Shnkcspcnro nnd at
tributed to Shakespeare; that tho ques
tion always has been nn open question
among scholars of equal authority nnd
standing In tho world of letters, litera
ture and knowledge as to tho authorship
of tho nboo-mentloned works, and that
a vast bibliography, estimated by those
who aro In a position to know at 20,000
volumes, has been written In discussion
of tho vexed question,
"Tho Court further finds that by the
published nnd acknowledged works of
Francis Bacon there Is given a cipher
which Bacon devised in nfs early youth
In Paris, called tho bilateral cipher; that
the witness, Elizabeth Wells Oallup, has
applied that cipher according to tho di
rections left by Francis Bacon, and lv s
found that the name und character of
Shakespeare v -o used as a mask by
Francis Bacon to publish philosophical
facts, stories and statements contributing
to tho literary renaissance In Englana
which hns been the glory of the world.
"Tho Court further finds that the claim
of tho friends ofFrancls Bacon that ho
Is the author of said works of Shake
speare, nnd the facts and circumstances
In tho real bibliography of the contro
versy over the question of authority and
the proofs submitted herein, convinced
tho Court that Francis Bacon Is tho au
thor."
Judge Tuthlll has been on the bonch for
many years. He Is conservative, consci
entious and highly respected.

THE HAGUE. April 22. Many Ameri

there has been no noticeable increase In
the number of Americans crossing the
Dutch frontier from Germany since the
situation became critical. There are
about 700 Americans in Germany.
Excitement over the German-American
situation has subsided noticeably since the
first Dutch newspaper comment on the

General Funston, following his confer

American commanders In Mexico. Tho
nature of these dispatches was not

Scott's presence wns tho signal for re

of the dispatches sent out by Funston. Tho

agreed to a change of the lino of com

PRESIDENT AWAITS REPORT
OF SCOTT ON MEXICO STATUS
WASHINGTON, April 22. President
Wilson, gravely concerned over tho situa
tion confronting him In Mexico, today
awaited advices from General Scott. The
first report following Scott's conferences
with American officers in charge of tho
border situation Is expected before night.
Belief prevails that following his report
the President will determine what Is to bo
done In Mexico.
As It appears here, tho United States
faces the alternative of abandoning the
pursuit of Pancho Villa or waging war
against Carranzlstas as well as Vllllstas.
It Is stated on hlgl) authority that
Scott's mission south waa not to seek
means of withdrawing American troops.
It is stated positively that that question
does not enter Into his present conferences,
Scott Is trying to answer questions that
have faced the Administration for tho laat
two weeks and which telegraphlo com
munication with border points has failed
to clear up satisfactorily. Among these
questions Is Just what Is the attitude of
Carranza toward this country.
Since th6 Parral Incident, when Ameri
can soldiers were fired on by Carranza
soldiers, who attempted an ambush, re
ports continue to arrive of Increasing mob
ilization of Carranzlstas at points south of
Parral. American officers have been
warned by Carranzlsta officials that Par

ranzlsta officers and men are acting under
orders from Carranza himself, or whether
as Administration officials believe they

ROOSEVELT TO SPEAK
IN WEST JUST BEFORE
CONVENTION OF G.0.R
i
Colonel Will Be Heard in
Kansas City Week Prior
to Meeting in
Chicago
MAY DIRECT OWN FIGHT
""OYSTER BAY, N. Y April 22 Colo
nel Theodore Roosevelt, according to pres
ent plans, will speak In the big convention
hall at Kansas City, Mo, on Memorial
Day, Just seven days before the Repub
lican nnd Progressive National Conven
tions nre scheduled to convene nt Chicago.
Tho Colonel received a formal lnvltallon
yesterday by telegraph, from representa
tives of several patriotic and business
organizations of Kansas City. It Is not
nt nil Improbable that, should conditions
provo favorable, the Colonel will, after
tho Kansas City address, mnko a short
and strenuous tour ot the Middle West,
touching Omaha, Neb. ; Des Moines, In.,
and Denver,- Col.
Such a tour would keep tho CotonePIn
that section of the country until 'conven
tion tlmo, nnd mnko it possible for htm
to reach Chicago on Tuesday, June 7, the
day set for tho opening of the conventions.
If this course Is followed out, and it now
seems highly probable, It would plungo
the Colonel In tho thick of tha flclit to
arouse tho country Just as tho mon who
will control tho Republican National Con
vention are preparing to decide tha courso
to he followed. Roosovelt advisers are now
satisfied that, with the Colonel on tho
Rttimp In the Middle West, such nn over
whelming sentiment for his nomination
would bo aroused that thero could be no
doubt of tho result In the convention.
Tho Ronsevolt Republicans nnd Pro
gressives, It Is known, nro making oxten
nlvo preparations for tho reception of tho
Colonel In Chicago when the convention
meets, despite tho fact that tho Colonel
has not said positively that ho would go
thero, Marching clubs nro being formed.
It Is said, to greet tha Colonel and give
him the greatest ovation Chicago hati
witnessed.
Tentative arrangements have been
mado nlso for his accommodations in tho
samo quarters ho occupied during tho Re
publican Convention of 1012. Hundreds
hnvo urged the Colonel to bo on hand,
nnd whllo ho has refused to talk nbout
tho subject at all, thoro nro many who
bellavo that ho will bo there and that he
will not return to Oyster Bay after de
livering the Kansas City address until tho
Republican nnd Progressive Conventions
havo taken nctton and adjourned.
Tho talk of tho Colonel running on a
third tlckot again If tho Republicans nom
inate n man whom tho Progressives feel
that they cannot support-has been revived
In view of tho report that he s contem
plating n Middle Western tour. Tho Colo
nol has said not a word on this toplo,
even to his most confidential advisers. His
fight, he has said all along nnd reiterates
now, Is to arouse the people of tho country
to a full realization of tho need of ade
quate preparedness and a rovlval of patri
otic Instincts.
Colonel Roosevelt's ndvlsers In tho Re
publican pnrty, ns well as the Progressive
leaders, have been urging upon him the
necessity of again gottlng In touch with
tho people In several centres of tho popu
lation. Thero have been a few that op
posed tho tour, but the majority feel that
nothing could so1 well Berve to bring tha
people to a rent understanding of "what
the Wilson administration has not no
compUihcd," as they express It, as a
heart-to-heart talk by the Colonel.
