The New York World publishes q list Of
persons missing in that city since August,
with Hfty.two names. 1t adds that in spite Of
the efforts o fboth police and public and pri-
vate detectives, and iE nearly every case OF o
lavish expenditure of money, the veil over
these lives has not been lifted; they have
stepped out of the world to all inteuts and
purposes. No doubt the list contains the
names OF those who have absconded, who
have had cogent reasons for getting out of the
way; Of kidnapped boys and youths, OF girls
who stepped from an open path of honor into
the slums and by.ways OF shame. But after
calculating that four.anhs Of those mentioned
are voluntary or compulsory absentees, there
remain ten or a dozen lives which have been
snufIsd out most mysterlously, and whose
manner of passing away is jealousy guarded
az q Greed secret by the river and the street.
