FATHER IN SHIP TRUST.
| 1t was said yesterday at the law offices of
Alexander & Green, in the Equitable Building
| that John W. Young, the father of Hooper, had
more or less close business relations with that
firm, although his office was on another
| floor of the same building. 1t was added that
Mr.. Young had been prominently concerned IN
the formation of the United States Shipbudng
Company, and that he present in Eu-
rope business relating to the affairs of that
corporal ton.
When Mr.. Weller yesterday pictures of
Young he thought he had seen the face before.
Then it suddenly occurred to him that some OF
the pictures bore very strong resemblance to
his visitor of yesterday. He called the attention
of the typewriter to the pictures and she con-
irmed him in the belief that Young and the
mysterious stranger were Identical Both were
so thoroughly convinced that the man was
Young that Mr.. Weller went to the police and
told them about his strange visitor, and of his
belief that the man was the fugitive murderer
THINKS APPLICANT WAS YOUNG.
Bernard Koenig called at the West Forty
seventh-st. station and on being shown a pict-
ure of Hooper Young told Captain Schmitt-
berger that it resembled the man who had
called at his house, No, 151 East Thrty-third-
St at > D. m. or Friday and applied for a room.
Koenig is a German teacher of languages and
tutor n literary science. When seen at his
home. Mr. Koenig refused to make any state
berger purely of a confidential nature.
Captain Schmittberger would not state the
object of Mr.. koenig's visit and would neither
confirm nor deny that 1t was IN connection with
the murder.
II am not prepared to say anything now about
the matter at ALL said Captain Schmittberger.
but if you will call little later perhaps VIII
have something"
In spite of the assertions of Captain Schmitt
berger and Mr. Koenig, Detectives Lohmeyer,
Berbenich and Treanor spent several hours IN

The fact that Young was leading double NE
and was also known as Bill smith is AIDING
the police greatly in their search for the miss
ing man. If il was Young who called at the
Koenig house in East Thirty-third-st- on Fri
day evening, and attempted to engage a room
there he made the mistake of giving the name
of Smith to Mrs KOenig.
CAPTAIN Schmitt berger believes that Mr.. Koe
mig who is a personal friend of his has given
him the clew that will lead to Youngs capture.
The captain volunteered the information that
Mr.. Koenig at home when the man called
at the house. He asked Mr. koeng if he had

that his rooms were heated by steam, and after
a few moments conversation he went out, after
telling that his name Smith, and that he

Captain mittberger's detectives have been
spending a great deal of time working up the
Bill Smith clew, and one of the policemen
who was on a beat in Sixth lave, and who knew
Young Bill Smith, has been planted in
one of Youngs haunts.
District Attorney Caravan also thinks the mo-
tive for the murder robbery Young was
