banker of Worcester Mass, who disappeared from
the Waldorf-Astoria about five weeks ago Mr.

and banker and is interested in many large
enterprises came here from Worcester with his
wife about five weeks ago and went to the Waldorf
Astoria. 1t was on April II that Mr.. Richardson
disappeared. Several facts have been found that
lead to the belief that he was in the city for at
least a week after he disappeared from the hotel
The detectives think he may have gone TO Porto

ostensibly for Dayton, Ohio, where he was building
a street railway extension. and It supposed
by local bankers that he there.
Two banks with which he had accounts report

he always drew few hundred dollars before any OF
his business trips.

said. as viewed by layman. was that

had been liz office since that date. DAILY
had never in any way attempted 10 in

He asserted that Witness Lyons told
him that he knew that the votes of va
rious members of the Legislature had
been unduly influenced in Clark's be-
half. Much of the day was spent in
debating the admisSibiiity in this con-
nection OF General Nolan'S report OF
the proceedings of the grand jury of

session of the senate was unusually in
tereSting from the very beginning. In
spite of vigorous and influential OPP
position Pcnrose of Pennsylvania sue
ceeded in getting the Quay case before
the senate, and during the afternoon
three notable speeches We're delivered.
After a sharp parliamentary squabble
PenrOSe moved that the resolution in
vOlving the seating of Quay be taken
up for consideration. On an aye and
no vote the motion prevailed. 81 TO -.
The majority was so decisive as to
cause some surprise. 1t is known that
some senators who will vote. if the
opportunity be offered. to seat Quay
yesterday voted against consideration
of the ease. while. on the contrary. 9TH
ers who voted for consideration prob
ably viii vote against seating him.
The vote. therefore, cannot be re-
garded aS quite a test of Quay's absO-
