JAMES PARkE STILL MISSING.
No Glue to Indicate Where He
May Have Gone.
Police and His Associates Puzzled
by His Absence.

No tidings have yet been received OF
young James Parke. son OF Harvey C.
Parke, head of the big chemical manu-
featuring firm of Parke. Davis & Co..
92 Maiden lane, who disappeared mys-
teriously last Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. John Clay. manage of the New
York branch Of the house. has been
using every effort to keep from the pub
lie the fact that Parke was missing,
and 1t was only through a despatch
fron Detroit, Mich, where the young
mans home is. that 1t became known
to-day.
Mr.. Clay was plainly in a much per-
turbed state Of mind this forenoon when
asked IL he had any new Of the missing
man, but he was not disposed to give
my Information which would lead to
the discovery of his whereabouts.
He refused to tell where Parke lived
while In New York or to verify or deny
some of the reports which had reached
the public concerning the motives which
might have prompted Parke to max
away with himself.
1t was learned from another source
that the young man, who is twenty-six
years old, came to New YORK three years
ago and was employed In the FIRMS
shipping department. A few weeks ago
he took a trip through the South with
his stepmother, returning to Detroit on
Palm Sunday.
He remained there for a few days, and
then came to this city. He wrote home
that he was glad to get back to New
York, and the tone OF the letter was
On Thursday afternoon Parke left the
afnra at the iIEItnl firna anna rnrtly In
good spirits. Friday morning he failed
to come to business. but owing to his
connection with the head of the firm
no inquiry was made concerning his
absence. Friday and Saturday passed,
and still he did not appear at the store.
Becoming worried. Mr.. Clay. the man.
ager, made a search among the young
mans papers at the office. In the safs
wss fonnd hts purse n a note which
alarmed, Mr.. Clay communicated with
Police Headquarters and took other
means to discover Parke's where's bouts.
All efforts, however. to find the missing
man were fruitless, and yesterday 1t was
decided to communicate with his par
ents n friends in Detroit. Numerous
kilograms went back and forth between
this city and Detroit. but no light was
shed on the matter.
not the slightest clue which might helr
to locate the missing man. 1t was
learned that Parke has been recently
paying attention to a young woman ir
this city whose address Is kept a secre,
by Mr.. Clay. The fact that ne was no
inclined to be dissipated makes his dis
appearance all the more mysterious.
