DAUGHTER OF BREWER
AND MOTORIST VANISH
Contlnned from I'ase One
and Market streets. It is a Ilulck roadster
and had been left at the garageabout mid
night, by whom tho detective and hla com
panion declined to say. Tho car was cov
ered with marks of gravelly mud nnd par
ticles of sand. The monogram "II. V.
M. 2d" on the doors established Its Iden
tity. The windshield was broken. A man's
collar and cap were also found In the ma
chine. Only one clue, and that lost again almost
as soon as obtained, had rowarded the
searchers. Mr. Bergncr, over the long
distance telephone at 10 o'clock last night,
requested Captain of Pollco George Tem
pest, a personal friend, to Institute search
for his daughter. Tempest Immediately
notified all police stations to watch ferries
and roads entering, the city.
Within half an hour the Third District,
at Third and Do Lancey streets, flashed
back word that an automobile of tho make
and color of tho Mlchell machine had
crossed tho ferry from Kalghn's Point,
Camden, to Chestnut street, it contained
a young woman and two men. Tho third
occupant, the pollco say, was Bernard Hew,
son of a wealthy resident of Atlantic City,
and a mutual friend of the liergner and
Mlchell families,
Mr. Bergner now believes that Bew was
taken along by the couple as a witness of
the ceremony. ,
Discovery of the automobile led Mr. lierg
ner to communlcato with the police of New
York In an effort to stop them. He believes
that they boarded a New York train after
leaving the automobile here.
This rlue, promising at first, evaporated.,
No further trace of the machines subse
quent course was obtained until Detective
Marks learned that, a green car similar to
that owned by Mlchell had been left at (he
Market street garage. Mr. Bergner him
self. In his own car, arrived In Philadel
phia shortly after daybreak, lie aped to
police headquarters in. City Hall. He was
accompanied by a friend rfnd a detective
from Avalon,
Mr. Bergner was almost exhausted and
said he had followed a fruitless clue to
Atlantic City and then rushed to Phila
delphia In the hope that the efforts of Cap
tain Tempest had produced some promis
ing Information.
Captain of Detectives Tate was called
Into consultation, and Detective Marks was
detailed to accompany Mr. Bergner. A tour
ot every hotel In the center of the city
revealed no registry entry of the motorists,
rtelatlves were visited In vain,
At the Mlchell establishment, on Market
street west of Fifth, It waa said that Mr,
Mlchell had telephoned this morning that
he would not be at his desk until noon. He
had gona to Avalon for the week-end and
had been detained, was the explanation
given.
Mrs. F. J. Mlchell, mother of the young
man, ljves at Morton and Illdley avenues,
Itldley I'arii Inquiry at her home elicited
the statement that the missing man waa
on hi way.to his office In this city. Whether
he had been at his home overnight could
not be ascertained. .
Mrs. Mlchell asserted that she was car
tain that the trip was nqt an elopement
"My son has no Intention of marrying Miss
Bergner so far aa I know," she declared.
Mr. Bergner himself la nearly distracted
'by the strange disappearance of his
daughter.
"Mhe Uft our home t Fourteenth street and
yt.valon avenue for a. ride with Mr. Mlchell,
and eertalnly, I thought, did net Intend to go
far," he said, "8he was; not dressed for a
long journey. 8 had on a whit drsss
with a. pink sash, and over that -wore a
so I rnavl to Philadelphia. I have) not
coat ot rough blue material. I nays rkt
sleet all nlgtit and with the worry and
fatigue I am nearly worn out."
Mr, aUrgnsr wont to hU (alNe at Thfrtyr

much exhavustsai to traiMeOt, lHsuss. He
returned after a few minute t City Halt
and set out, aiu with DeUctivs Uktiu.
1914 TRANSIT PACT
COVERS NEW LINES
Centlnnfd from fare One
the formulation of the proposition and led
the debate In the Council chamber when
the agreement was threshed out.
LtTTTKn UNAUTHOIUZED
The mysterious letter rent to Mayor
Smith by tho Philadelphia Chamber of
Commerce recommending the selection of
W Barclay Parsons, of New York city,
as an ixrxrt to participate In the transit
lease conferences between the city nnd the
Philadelphia Bapld Transit Company was
never specifically authorized either by a vote
of the general body or or the executive com
mlttee of the chamber
, This fact was established today by a
personal cnnvns of the members of the
executive committee. Not only was the let
ter sent without any vote of authorization.
It was establlshtd,4but only one member
of the entire commUteo would ndmlt that
he knew of such a Utter beforo the matter
was published In tho newspapers, and this
man said the matter had been discussed
only In a general way
nvery Indication points to the fact that
the letter was drawn up by Howard U.
French, president of the Chamber of Com
merce, and Alba H. Johnson, president or
the Baldwin locomotive Works and one of
the lce presidents of the commerce body.
The actual writing of the letter was left
to N. B. Kelly, general secretary of the
chamber.
FAVOIIKD OUTStDK AID
While the members of the executive com
mittee today could not tell of any meeting
where the letter to Mayor Bmlth was
planned, It was recallod that a resolution
was adopted by the chamber some months
ago, and before the primary elections,
urclnc that an expert he brought to this
city to help untangle the controersy over
construction plans which developed upon
the publication ot the Twining emascu
lated transit plan. The effect of this would
havo been to postpone the voto on the J5C,
100,000 loan.
The name of Mr. Parsons wasi brought
forward nt that time by Mr. Johnson, ac
cording to a member of the executive com
mittee. Thcro was no- thought at that time,
however, that tho expert should give con
sideration to tho question ot arranging the
terms of tho lease of tho subway and ele
vated lines.
Krnest T. Trigg, tho first member of the
executive committee to be questioned, was,
asked :
"So far as your personal knowledge goes,
was there over any meeting cither of the
general body or of the executive commit
tee where the fetter to the Mayor was au
thorized?" "No," was Mr. Trigg's response.
"Hnd you cer heard of tho letter before
jou read of It In the newspapers?" he was
asked. ,
"No," Mr. Trigg replied.
In answer to a question as to the time
the resolution recommending an outside
expert was passed, Mr. Trigg replied that
he did not remember tho date.
OTHER MEMBERS MUTE
An attempt was made to ask Charles J.
Cohen the same questions, but before one
question had been stated he Interrupted and
referred all queries to President French.
When Charles JC Tryon was asked the
first question, as to whether tho letter had
ever been authorized at any meeting, 'either
of the executive committee or ot tho gen
eral body, his reply was:
"X prefer to make no comment about It
at all. I don't want to be Interviewed.
Thank you. Good-by."
Thomas B. Harbison, In answer to the
first question, replied:
"You'll have to ask Mr, Cope, head of
our publicity bureau. The reason I say
that Is that our committee decided that any
news any member has must he given out
through our bureau."
"But, Mr. Harbison." his questioner In
terposed, "this Is not a matter of news
These questions concern your own personal
expcrlcnco and It cannot be presumed that
Mr. Copo Is able to answer them."
"Well, I refer you to Mr. Cope. It Is
an agreement of our committee."
II. K. Mulford, one of the vice presidents
of the chamber, was asked:
"So tar as your personal knowledge goes,
was there ever any meeting, either of the
general body or of tho executive committee,
where the letter to tho Mayor was au
thorized?" "No," responded Mr. Mulford.
"Had you ever heard ot the letter be
fore you read of It In the newspapers?"
"I had. I was present at meetings of
the executive committee several months ago
'when this question was In controversy. We
had decided at that time that the matter
had become so Involved with personalities
and politics that an unbiased outsider, an
expert, should be brought In to clear it up.
Wa decided that the Chamber of Commerce,
nt Its own expense, should employ this ex
pert and give his services to the city. Mr.
Parsons offered his services for SS500,
which was a low figuro for such an expert
as he, but the executive committee after
much discussion concluded that It would be
Inadvisable to go to that much expense. So
wo had to give It up."
SUGGESTED BY MR. JOHNSON.
"Who first suggested tho name of Mr,
Pnrsdns as un expert?" Mr, Mulford was
asked.
"1 think Mr. Johnson was the first per
son to suggest it."
"Had you an opinion on what outside
expert should be called before Mr. Par
sons's name was suggested?"
"No; Mr. Johnson Is and has been the
best Informed man on transit matters In the
Chamber of Commerce. I am willing to
accept ills opinions. Mr. Johnson has al
ways bebn active otf hehalf of ths people,
and I am willing to accept his opinions.'
When a chemical or n health question comes
up In a meeting I am willing to accept the
opinions ot chemists or physicians attend
ing that meeting. I think a great mistake
is being made In objecting to Mr. Parsons.
He is the greatest expert In the United
States, and 1 believe he Is tho best man to
frame this agreement -I do, absolutely! The
Chamber" of Commerce Is working for the
best Interests ot the people of Philadel
phia. For Heaven's sake, ghe us some
help!"
"Were the other members ot the com
mittee, do you think, willing to accept the
opinion of Mr, Johnson the opinion that
he was the first to express that Mr. Par
sons should be, engaged?" Mr. Mulford was
asked.
"Mr, Johnson Is the best Informed man
In the committee on transit matters, and
every one knows Mr. Parsons's ability."
CAIAVELL DOESN'T KNOW

the mysterious letter, said;
;l did not attend the last two directorate

tatives on the P, It. T. board and Mr. Par
sons are to begin tomorrow, according to
present plans. Mr. Parsons will come here

8. Twining to meet Mayor Smith and the
other conferees. It Is accepted as virtually
certain that he will be engaged by the
Mayor,
The 1014 agreement comprehended the
Broad street subway, the Franktord ele
vated and the Darby elevated, but no men
tion was made of the Northwest subway,
