CLARK BABY NOTE FOUND
whereabouts Of Kidnapped Infant Is
Still Unknown.
TALK ABOUT AN ARREST.
New York Polite" Has, Searching All
the Baby Farms In the city.
No Reward Offer
ed us Yet.

New York, May 24-All the combined
efforts of the detective bureau and the
police department have so far produced
no result in the mystery enshrouding
the kidnapping of little Marion Clark.
Though the ablest men in both depart
ments have been searching night and
day for the child, who disappeared in
the arms Of Carrie Jones, her nurse,
they have found not the slightest trace
of her or her whereabouts.
Wherever the nurse has taken the
child, she has SO carefully covered up
her tracks that the best detective skill
in the department seems unable to find
them. At least this is what Captain
McClusky says, and his men have been
at work ever since watching the board
ing house at 1853 East Sixtytifth street,
where Arthur Clark, the chid's father,
lives, and securing the city.
Captain McClusky denies that any ar
rest or arrests have been made in the
case or that any are contemplated, de-
nying empr atically the rumor that a
waitress in East Houston street named
johnson has been apprehended and Is
being held at headquarters.
According to Mr.. Clark, the nurse
maid at one time said the only friend
she had in the city was a Mrs. Johnson
of East Houston street. If such a Wo-
man G.: SITS except in the imag ination
of the rur"p, she ought. it is believed,
to be able to shed considerab BILE light up
on the kidnapel if not upon the crime
that has m9de her famous in the Grim
inal history Of the city.
1t is known that central office men
have been making Il systematic search
in East Fl uston street and that neigo
borhood for somebody, but if an arrest
has been made there it has been kept
secret.
Many Theories Advanced.
Many theories have been advanced by
The police, hut all lead to the same re-
sult-nothing. ii is almost certain, how
ever, that Carrie Jones had confeder-
ate and that the child was given to this
person soon after the nurse left the
park, perhaps in Third avenue.
1t would he an easy thing to conceal
she child in one of the many tenement
houses of the east side, and unless some
one in the house became suspicious and
reported to the police it would be al
most a hopeless task to find her.
Little credence is placed in the nurses
story that she had come from Deposit
n. Y, and a dispatch from that place
announces that no such person is known
there. The fact that the woman men
toned the place, however. makes il
seem possible that she may know some
thing about it.
No reward has yet been offered TO,
the child and. with the whole machin-
cry Of the police department at work
it Is next to impossible for the nurse or
any one in the plot to communicate
with Mr. Clark. If a reward We're Of
fered. it night bring a communication
to the house through the mail.
This could be done with almost per-
feet safety, but it would be a danger
Gus thing for the kidnapers to COM
municate in my way with the Clarks
The nurse has probably read in the pa
pers of the severe punishment meted
out to the kidnapers of John Conway
in Albany. and is in no hurry to claim
any reward that may be offered,
a systematic search of all the baby
farms in this city and Brooklyn is being
made. but so far With no result The
police do not believe Carrie Jones would
try to place the child in any such place
but they feel that something must be
done, even If they are entirely in the
dark.
