WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE probabili-
will see the introduction of another cur
rency bill in the senate. Jones of Arkan-
sas, who at the critical stage of the tariff
legislation took the matter in hand and
harmonized the different elements SO as to
bring definite results out of decidedly
chaotic condition, is the author Of the new
bill, and he comes to the front this time
as a compromiser and harmonizer. There
has been objections made to the bills pre-
pared by Senators Vest and Mcpherson
on the ground, in the case Of the Vest bill
that it leans too much towards silver, and
in the case of the Mcpherson bill that it
is too exclusively in the interest of bonds.
Discovers the Antagonistic Elements. .
Jones realizes that silver and bonds are
the two antagonizing elements in this
question, and his effort has been to pre-
pare a measure which will, perhaps, not be
all that the friends OF either cause would
demand, but will in the end secure the
support of both elements. He has been

for whenever she did go she went with
young lady who is my cousin"
The young husband, who is hardly more
than bright and manipulating boy, told
the story of her disappearance.
We had been down along the beach and gath
cred some shells before, and she wanted some
more to make workbasket. She went off
that day to get them and ! said "All right
When she left she took with her nothing
but the clothes she had on. gray suit with
white stripes and passementerie front, and q
purse with 80 cents in it. She left $50 in the
bureau, and say she wouldn't have left that
if she was running away: All her clothes hang
in there just as she lett them. She hasn't been
seen since. I've asked everybody, and
had people out hunting and nobody
has seen her, though some people
thought they had seen somebody
like that along that way. Yesterday captain
who lives with his wife in a sloop over by
Black Point came here with woman's belt he
had found on the beach, but it wasn't hers.
Then somebody else came with brand new
woman's sqnare-toe shoe that had been found
on the beach, but it wasn't like hers and was
No. 2, and she wore SIS.
l believe that she climbed around on the
rocks in dangerous place and slipped in. She
was kind of daring that way and would be apt
to do something like that. think that her
body VIII be found soon, and I'll not withhold
full confidence in her until know different.
1t wouldn't be just to wife to do SO.
One of Mrs Forsyths two brothers here
is a Mr.. Flagg, who is night manager OF
Dare's restaurant on Stockton street. he
knows nothing and holds to no theories.
Detectives know nothing about the case,
but of course thev have opinions. The
mystery of this pretty young woman's dis
appearance may be cleared up through
favorable currents or other means, but any
way Durrant is not suspected OF connection

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-16

flowers were going away, and l overheard
the name of Durrant and asked some one
how his name came to be mentioned. L
was told that he was acquainted with the
girl.
ION Friday saw Durrant at the ferry.
Having nothing to do / took a stroll down
there. He spoke to me, saying: We are
still looking / inferred that he spoke of
the Lamont girl, because | knew be and
the Noble family had been looking Tor her.
He said that he had got slight clew-a
very slight one-but that everything mad
to be looked after. He said at the same
time that he was looking out for something
else. / suppose that it was the Williams
girl he was waiting for, as L have since
learned that he had written Tor her TO
come over to go to the party at the Nogel
house.
s'He also told me that detective had
called at the house to make search for
the Lamont girl, utNthat the detective had
refused TO do ANYTHING unless he was paid
$50 in advance. / do not know who the
detective is, but / understood that he was
paid at the rate of IS a day and expenses.
DurIant told me that they-I presume the
Nobles-had paid him the money and that
he had not done anything whatever.
Why, said he, he did not even. come to
ask me about the matter
81 never saw him after that Friday"
H'.Yes, I noticed him frequently in the
church and observed that he was always
very cool and deliberate in all his actions
Hehad the free run of the church building
and went wherever he pleased and did
some repairing.
When Sademan left the church last
evening he stated where he could be found,
ffor," said he, 81 do not want to have any
body who may want to see me think that
1 was trying to keep out of the way"
what fortunate thing" said the jan
itor, refectively, 4that l did not light a
fire yesterday"
How so?"
ut was pretty cold, and felt as though
I would like to have fire, but | thought
that people might say that there was an
effort to destroy evidence
Then the ianitor declared that he could
not talk any more, as he had talked SO
much about the case, that is, reported the
same thing so many times, that he had
become worn out.
To-day he and his son will be called upon
to give their testimony at the Coroner's
inquest.

victim of the fate of the TWO girls men,
toned. Other reports even had it that her
body had been found under the floor of
the church.
A little investigation showed that there
was not the smallest foundation for any of
these reports, but it left Mrs. Forsyth's
disappearance as great mystery as ever.
Ten days of search have not developed any
clew TO her whereabouts, and only indetin
tie suspicious that the missing woman has
run away with man who is not her hus-
band. Her husband and most intimate
friends believe that she has been drowned.
Mrs. Forsyth was a young woman of
about 20 years old, who two years married
George w. Forsyth, a young man who is
a pressman employed by the Schmidt
Label Company. Her life appears to have
tains implicit confidence in her fidelity as
a wife. On Friday April 5, ten days ago
yesterday, she left home In the forenoon
to make a trip alone to Bakers Beach
and vicinity to gather shells. She
did not come home again, and on the
following Sunday her disappearance was
reported to the police. SINCE then the
husband, friends and special detectives
have been searching for clews by which
her movements might be followed. But
as far as is known she melted into air
when she left the door OF her little home
at 1904 Larkin street. Some people have
been found who thought they had seen a
woman of her description along the beach
on that day, but they were not sure. That
is all.
Her young husband has been forlorn and
distracted ever since, ana has not appeared
or sent word to his place of work. He
speaks of his confidence that she is under
the waves as though that was the only
possible explanation of her disappearance,
and as though her being alive and with
somebody else was calamity which could
not happen.
81 say Give the ocean its time and she
will be found, he said yesterday. 'Then
I'll get even with some of these enemies
who have been saying these things"
The slim young man who broods in his
lonely rooms expects the waves to give up
his dead to-day, and then he will sadly but
triumphantly go about the tender work of
burial.
They say at the Coroner's office that it
| takes nine or ten days for body to come
to the surface" he said, land it ought to
be found tomorrow anyway. ! will be
| glad to let you know If anything turns up,
! but may not be here tomorrow, because
if the body is found will have good deal
| to do"
He even smiled at the rumor of posi-
BILE relation between her disappearance
and the double tragedy that has Mortified
the nation.
"She not only did not belong to that
church," he said, "but she never went
there in her life. She didn't know any
body that belonged to it, and didn't even
know anybody in that part of the town.
She used to go to church, but she
has done so only occasionally since we
were married. She used to go to DR.. Fill
ben's Methodist church over there, for she
was raised a Methodist, but latterly she
went to Mr.. Henry church. That report
about her going off to church and then
meeting some fellow instead is all bosh,

Emile F. Somps, who lives at 2536 Mission
sion street.
On Friday night about twenty minutes
to IL, he met young man and woman on
Bartlett street, near Twenty-second- tie
went close to them under gaslight and
looked at them carefully. Durrant, be
says, resembles in every particular the
man that he then saw, while the jacket
found on Miss Williams body was exactly
like that worn by the young woman.
81 was going home late Friday night,
MI. Somps said, 'and had reached Twenty
second street when [ heard noise IN
ward The neighborhood had been IN
tested with chicken-thieves, and as L am a
special officer / walked hurrledly toward
Bartlett street.
tsWhen | reached that thoroughfare 1
saw some persons approaching. 1t was
not light enough to see how many there
II walked toward the approaching peo-
ple. who were going toward Twenty second
street. As they drew nearer the gasllght J.
saw that there were two, young man anu
young woman.
1.-The man wore a long overcoat and a
Stetson hat. l walked toward them, look.
ing at him closely, till l was within about
"'Come, let's go back.
upon this they turned and walked back
toward the church. That building was on
the other side of the street. Where they
went to after that / do not know.
81 looked at the man closely. notlced
that his hair was neither light nor dark.
His mustache was a small one and he was
of slight build.
Later 1 was called upon to identity
Durrant at the station after his arrest. L
think he is the same man saw near the
Baptist church Friday night.
HE is of the same height and the same
general build. His face is similar and his
complexion is like that of the man | saw.
In Jail, however, he wore no overcoat.
81 am satisfied that Durant is The man,
Mr.. Somps said earnestly then he added:
'sYet il | were told that the man would be
hanged if l said he was the man l saw, L
would be forced TO say that l did not know
it was the same man, but that he looked
very much like him. You see" he added
81 think it's the same man. Had l known
him before or if | had suspected that the
affair would be recalled / would have
known positively who the man was. But,
of course, it is anything but unusual to see
q young couple out at that hour OF the
night"
not so sure He had looked at the young
man and not at her While he could not
identify her by her face, he recognized the
Jacket found on the corpse as exactly sim
liar to the one worn by the young woman

1t was at the time named by Mr.. SOmps
that Durrant SAYS he found the purse be-
longing to Miss Williams. This, Mr.. Somps
thinks, IS suggestive.
