LIZZIE CARLIN GONE.
The E1-Alderman's Little Daugh-
ter Missing Since Midnight
Disappeared Suddenly, Clad Only In
Her Night Clothing.
Eight Years Old and No Reason
known for Her Departure.

The police OF the West One Hundred
and Fifty-second street station have
sent out a general alarm for and are
seeking Lizzie Carlin. who disappeared
from her home shortly after midnight
under most mysterious circumstances.
Lizzie is only eight years old. She is
the daughter OF ex-Alderman John Car
lin, who lives at One Hundred and
Eighty-seventh street and Kinxsbridge
road and conducts a real estate business
at the same address.
Her father Is utterly at loss to ac-
count for her strange and sudden disap-
pearance.
When the girl left home she was at
tired only in her night clothes.
Herabsence was discovered early this
morning and the police were promptly
notified
As yet no clue to her whereabouts or
the route she took has been obtained.
1t is a matter OF speculation as to
whether the girl was kidnapped or
whether she wandered away in her
sleep. There is nothing known to usb-
stantiate the former theory. while, on
the other hand. she was never known
as a somnambulistic victim.
