Arnold Family Lawyer Tel!:
of Mother's Quest.
THEY BELIEVE SHE IS DEAD.
Lorenzo D. Armstrong Makes a Stata
ment of the Missing Girl Case and
of the Efforts of Her Parents
to Find Her.
New York, Feb. 1. The mother of
Dorothy Arnold is in Europe conduct
ing with the assistance of family
Irlends n search for the girl who van
ished Doc. 12. Mrs. rnold has con
tinued to believe that Dorothy went
abroad, although other members of the
family came eventually to the concln
nlon that she was dead.
It was Dorothy's mother who called
with her oldest sou, John W. Arnold,
a George S. Griscom, Jr., at Mr.
Criscom's hotel in Florence, Italy, Jan.
18, a month after Mr. Griscom had
abled that ho knew nothing alxmt
Dorothy's whereabouts or motives for
leaving home and renewed requoxtt
lor information. Lorenzo D. Arm
strong, who has superseded bis law
fartner, John S. Keith, as the commti
slcator between the family and i in-
newspapers, said that while Mrs Av
old obtained no news from the Pit in
fcurg clubman she had been unwlllt t
return homo.
Mr. Armstrong snys that there ap
pears no good reason for longer with
Voiding the facts that folders and sail
ing schedules of half a dozen Athmtle
steamship lines were found among
Dorothy's papers and letters and Hint
this fact, coupled with discovery of
letters from Mr. Griscom, had led tin
lhmlly to believe for a time that Hur
thy had gone to Europe. That was
Mrs. Arnold's conclusion, Mr. Arm
utrong said, after nothing had come of
shadowing a young man in this city
who hnd been attentive to her daugh
ter. In speaking of Mrs. Arnold's trip
abroad in search of her daughter Mr.
Armstrong said that he did not believe
he had found n trace of the missing
girl.
"I want to say that she doesn't know
ny more now where her daughter Is
than she did when she sailed," he de
clared, "although it was her original
impression that if Dorothy had noi
tome to harm in this city she might
have gone to Europe. I cannot sny
when Mrs. Arnold will return.
" 'I will not have any publicity,' she
said before starting, 'and if this gets
Into the papers I shall never come
back.'
"I want to say now," Mr. Armstrong
continued, "that after fifty days' In
vestigation I have made up toy mind
that Dorothy came to her death some
where outside of Now York city. I
speak entirely for myself, for it is 11N
)y that some members of the family
-would not want to make that state
ment." EIVER BILL IS PASSED.

Civic Foderation Is Decree.
Columbus, O., Feb. 1. After debat
ing the question at two previous con
ventions the United Mine Workers of
America by a vote of 1,213 to 007 have
decided to amend the constitution that
John Mitchell, former president of the
miners, either will have to resign from
the Civic federation or retire from the
miners' organization. The Socialist
element of the convention voted al
most solidly against Mitchell's connec
tion with the Civic federation, ns did
also the Lewis faction. Mitchell will
have until April to decide to which or
ganization he will cling. A year ago
he was quoted as saying he would not
forsake the miners under any consider
ation. The convention will ndjourn today.
Indianapolis probably will land the
next convention, nlthough Washington,

Slayer of Trenton Couple
lells Queer Story.
CLAIMS LAPSE OF MEMORY.
John Sears Goes on Stand In Own Do
fense In Trial. For Murder of Pres
byterian Minister and Wife.
Case Ends Today.
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 1. John Sears
hnlf breed murderer of the Rev. ami
Mrs. Amzl L. Armstrong, told a re
markable story of lapse of memory
when he took the stand in his own do
fense in the Mercer county court here.
Scars lias nlready confessed that lie
murdered the nged minister and his
wife nt the parsonage of the Dutch
Neck Presbyterian church on Thanks
giving eve.
He said that he shot the Rev. and
Mrs. Armstrong, but did not know
what he was doing at the time. He
gave in detail his every action on the
day of the murder up to the time Mrs.
Armstrong called him "nigger." Then,
he said, his mind became a blank. He
took a double barreled gun from the
corner of the room and first shut the
minister through the heart. Mrs. Arm
strong picked u heavy paperweight
from the table and hurled It at tin'
head of the half breed. Sears dodged
the paperweight and then -shot Mrs.
Armstrong.
Sears said that he remembered a
flash, and he thought it must have
been the flash of the gun. He remem
bered in detail his every movement
after that time, during which ho went
to New Brunswick to the rooms of his
national guard company, where he pos
ed ns n white man, and until the re
turn to his homo shortly after mid
night on Thanksgiving morning. Then,
according to the mulatto's remarkable
testimony, us lie stepped upon the
porch to go Into the house, it flashed
across his mind that he done some
thing wrong. He then realized, lie
said, for the first time that he had
murdered the couple who were his
benefactors and who hud taken care
of him, together with his mother, for
thirty years. Sears said there was ab
solutely no reason why he should have
murdered Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong and
claimed that he did not know what he
was doing. He was the only witness
offered for the defense, and the case
will go to the jury after the summing
up of counsel today.
TEN DIE IN A CAISSON.
Laborers of Pennsylvania Railroad
Drowned In Newark.
Now York, Feb. 1. Ten negroes
working in the compressed air cais
sons in the water under the old Cen
ter street bridge of the Pennsylvania
railroad met their death late last night
by the bursting of the caissons. All
ten of them were drowned, but it is
not known how many more were
caught when the water burst in. The
Center street bridge is near the pro
posed Sayhrook terminal.

breaking of a chain on nn enrth bucket.
There are two doors at tlio digging
end of the compartment, one of which
Is nhvays closed. The chain on the big
dirt bucket snapped without warning,
allowing the bucket to swing through
the closed door, smashing it, and the
water rushed into the compartment.

feet under water. The bridge is near
the center of the city of Newark and
is near the proposed site of the tor
minul station for the new short line
railroad connecting Newark with Man
hattan.

Odd Case From Burma Before
English Privy Council,
LORD CHANCELLOR WONDERS,
Worldwide Spread of Political Pecu
lation Astounds Jurist Superintend
ent and His Assistants Who Padded
Payrolls on Government Slaying Ex
pedition Stands Convicted.
The judicial committee of the Eng
lish privy council has been wrestling
with a case of alleged graft in elephant
hunting in Burma. The lord chancel
lor, after hearing tho evidence iu Lon
don, is said to have asked Lord Atkin
son in a voice of wonderment if there
is any remote spot on earth or any
occupation, however strange, to which
graft lias not extended.
Graft Old as World.
"I fear, my lord." replied one of the
counsel, "that graft is merely the mod
ern expression of a human instinct as
old as tho race Itself."
The case came before the privy coun
cil on appeal from tho chief court of
lower Burma. The acting superintend
ent and his assistant and the chief
clerk of the Kheddah department the
principal business of which is the con
duct of organized hunts of wild ele
phantswere nil three accused of hav
ing padded tho payrolls, commissary,
etc., of a largo elephant hunting party.
Tho government asserted that thero
were only 292 hunters in the expedi
tion. The defendants, It was alleged,
had cooked up the accounts so as to
make it appear 318 men had taken
part in the hunt.
Trial Lasted Three Months.
After a trial lasting almost three
months, and in which pretty much all
tho expert elephant hunters In that
part of Burma testified on one side or
the other, tho defendants were found
guilty. The charge was that there had
been a crimlnnl breach of trust under
section 400 of tho Indian penal code.
The defendants appealed to King-
Emperor George through the privy
council, which has decided that the
prisoners put up a poor case on appeal
and must stand convicted.
SEES THROUGH GLASS EYES,
Artificial Substitutes For Natural
Lenses Provo Successful.
Dr. William C. Winslow of Boston,
noted writer and former Episcopal
minister, who lost his eyesight four
years ago, has recovered his vision.
Two artificial glass lenses have been
substituted for the natural lenses, and
ho can see through tiicm.
With tho cataracts tho natural
lenses of his eyes wero removed.
Glass leiisos wero substituted. These
serve as well as tho real ones. The
operation is regarded as one of tho
most remarkable ever performed and
is the first of Its kind. Tho glass
lenses flash to tho brain tho picture
upon which tho eye rests. Without
them there Is nothing but a glare of
light.
Tho smallest and most delicate
knives imaginable wore used In the
operation. It was very difficult to
find a suitable antiseptic, tho organism
being so delicate. Tho surgeons used
whlto of egg and nitrate of silver.
Cocaine was used ns a local anaes
thetic. UTILIZE OLD INUTILITIES.
Employment Devised For Abandoned
Tin Stoppers For Bottles.
Tho latest homo Industry is making
doormats from tho tin stoppers of
beer and other bottles. Boys and girls
all over New York are collecting tho
stoppers, and If. tho fad continues bot
tlo stopper doormats are likely to be
n drug on tho market.
The stoppers aro nailed to n board
with tho tops downward, leaving the
rough underside up. They are placed
closely together and will quickly take
off nud receive all dirt and mud from
shoes scraped on them. They form
a most effective doormat, nre very
simple and cost little or nothing. Any
body with a board, tacks and the stop
pers can make n doormat of this kind.
Where the idea originated is not
known, but with it uso has been found
at last for tho stoppers of beer and
other bottles which have been hereto
fore thrown away.
IF WAR COMES TO GERMANY.
Eight Per Cent of Population It
Trained to Fight.
Calculating on tho census taken
Dec. 1, Colonel Qaedke declares Ger
many is able to send 5,200,000 trained
soldiers and sailors Into action.
That number includes only a portion
400,000 of tho "substitute reserves."
Tho total represents 8 per cent of tho
population of the empire. Colonel
Gaedko calculates that Germany In
1011 will havo under arms a total of
14,000 soldiers and sailors. Without
calling upon the "substitute reserves,"
Colonel Gaedko states', Germany can
now put 4,800,000, trained men In tho
field from tho 0,00-1,000 who have dono
service during tho last twenty-flve
years.

Bread Mixer That Kneads
Dough by Compression.
A breadmaking machine which will
quickly knead enough dough to make
one to six loaves of bread has been
Invented by a New Jersey man. The
machine is iu the form of a cylinder
which can bo clamped fast to the
kitchen tnbio and which has a lid
hinged to tho top. Inside the cylinder
is a spiral blade which is operated by
a handle nt one end. The dough Is
poured inside, and as the handle turns
It mixes and kneads by compression
against the euds of the cylinder. The
consistency of the dough can bo
judged by the difficulty with which
the handle works without tho trouble
of lifting the lid. This method of
kneading is not only much easier and
quicker than doing the work by hand,
but is more sanitary. If tho machine
is kept clean it is likely to be much
cleaner than the cook's hands, no mat
ter how often she washes them.

be shrunk before tho material is cut.
Mattresses should be thoroughly
brushed off with a whisk once a week.
