THINK LOOMS IS DEAD
AUTHORITIES ABANDON HOPE AS
TO HIS SAFETY.
Gustav Flamm Reiterates That He Saw
the Missing Man Debark in
safety ON Arrival mt
Plymouth.

Paris. June 30.-Oficials interested
in the search for +. Kent Loomis say
they have practically abandoned hope
that he will be alive.
Heretofore they have relied on the
statement of Gustav Flamm of San
Francisco that he saw Loomis leave
the steamer at Plymouth, but they are
now inclined to the belief that F'lansn
may have been mistaken. They point
out the difficulty of person recog-
nizing another at 2 o'clock in the
morning In the darkness and in the
excitement of many passengers landing.
However. Mr.. Flamm positively reiter-
ated to-day that he was not mistaken.
mo matter what theories are adj
vanced." said he. II am absolutely GER
tain that I Saw him get off the steam
err. Consequently, theories cannot be
based upon the assumption that he was
lost before reaching port"
Notwithstanding Flamm's reaff1rma-
ton, officials are examining SUPPOSE
lions that Loomis was lost while on
board Ellis. in his statement at the
American embassy, pointed out the
possibility that Loomis might have
fallen from the upper deck. This deck,
it is explained. had no guard rails, as
1t was rarely used by passengers
The investigators who at first in
clined against this view because they
believed a body falling from the up
per deck would certainly have been
seen from the two brilliantly lighted
decks below are now beginning to at
.tach greater weight to this theory.
The idea of foul play continues to
be rejected.
While inquiries disclose some cir
cumstances slightly inconsistent. they
do not warrant the officials in suspect
ting violence.

Senator Dubois declares that he/will
get an anti-polygamy plank in the
national platform. That will be his

II they declared against polygamy but
he claims that a strong declaration of
that kind in the Democratic platform

cratic party.
Former Senator George Turner of
Washington came to St Louis today
with small but earnest Vice-Presi-
Dental boom. The States of Idaho

talk of the Presidential nominee and
the platform.

Eight years ago I bolted the Republic
