! RALPH wARREN,s GAS $.
The Well-Known Princetonian Is
Still Missing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The sudden
and mysterious disappearance of the
Princeton football team captain, Ralph
Warren. perplexes the police and is a
source of the greatest anxiety to his rel
ativeS and friends in New York and
Washington. There is probably not &
student at Princeton who is more gem
orally known throughout the country
than young Warren, on account of his
prominent connection with the famous
team.
After season of study and severe
physical training in the gymnasium, he
came to Washington with his classmate.
son of George p. Frazer, who lives at
2Ol3 Hitler place, to spend the holidays.
Ever since the last football game in
which Princeton participated, Mr.. War
rem has suffered from injuries received
i'll the field. In this game, besides a
bruSe of the the nose, he received a Sc
we're twist of the neck. He did not pay
much attention to the hurts at the time,
but since then he has complained of
pains in his head.
Young Warren and his class mate ar
rived In Washington several days ago,
and went at once to the Frazer resi-
dence. They attended the concert given
by the Princeton Glee club Monday
night ami went home together early. At
that hour young Warren seemed per-
fectlY rational. About o'clock the
next morning the butler noticed War
rem going out without his Oyercoat.
''Sir, it Is c0Id." said the butler. NO."
replied Warren, II am going for brisk
walk. and will return presently" The
butler noticed that Warren turned in a
direction which would take him out of
town.
Yesterday afternoon the uncle of the
young man, William A. Torrey, came
over from New York to assist in the
search. Mr.. TOrrey visited police head
quarters, and the entire machinery of
the police department has been put into
operation in an endeavor to locate the
missing man. No definite clue has as
yet been obtained. 1t was reported last
evening, however, that a young man
answering to the description of Warren
was seen in the Ebbitt house yesterday.
Foul play is feared. but the suggestion
is also made that the injuries received
by Mr.. Warren in the football game
finally affected his brain, and that he
wandered away somewhat confused in
mind.
New York, Jan. 1.-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of Ralph
L
football player, has been settled. The
young man walked into his residence in
this city at 6:30 this evening. He was
first met by his mother, whom he greet
ed affectlonately, and apparently was
little disturbed by the sensation his dis
appearance had caused. Warren was
tired, and no one was allowed to see
him tonight but his uncle, Frederick
Crosby. but said they hoped with rest
and quietude he would come round
again all right.
- s"Ralph," said Mr.. Crosby. 'shas made
several voluntary statements. He said
Zer'S to go for short walk. He walked
further than he intended. The next
thing he remembers was his intention
to start for Harper's Ferry. After say
ing this" said Mr.. Crosby. "Ralph's
story is somewhat incoherent, and we
could get nothing more from him except
that he went to Baltimore, where he
tarried at hotel two days. He then
decided to come home.
''Just before he took the ferryboat
from Jersey City on bis way to New
York he read the account Of his disap-
pearance in morning paper"
This is all the voluntary statement
young Warren had made up to a late
hour tonight, aud his relatives, acting
on the advice of the family physician,
did not attempt TO urge him to give any
further particulars until he had rested.
There was nothing in Warren's appear
ance, so far as his clothing went, to
show that he had passed through any
rough experience during the time he
left Washington. and when he entered
the elevator at the ''Cordova," where he
resides, he wished the janitor happy
New Year. AT present his relatives are
in the dark as to the cause of his strange
conduct, except that he has travelled
around while suffering from the injuries
he received on the head during the
Thanksgiving day game between the
Princeton ''Ti gers" and Yale.
