MISSING ACTOR BAf ! Oll(1
THEoRY'ApvANcEp THAT HITCH
COCK MAY be nIplNo BEHIND
.MAi<E,uP.s

New York, Nov. The disappear
ance Of Raymond Hitchcock, following
his indictment by the grand jury
which had heard the stories Of the
three little girls, was the absorbing
topic yesterday on Broadway.
The actors closest friends, who
have theoretically defended his name
since he became involved in trouble,
are divided in opinion. Many insisted
yesterday that, driven to desperation
by the serious accusation, he had com.
mitted suicide. Others were satisfied
that he had been spirited away and
possibly murdered by men who had
practiced blackmail on the comedian
and who feared exposure IL the case
against their victim came to trial.
Hitchcock's thoubles have assumed
various phases. He first caused the
arrest of boy who, he alleged, had
attempted to blackmail him. Disclo-
sures in the case led to Hitchick's ar.
rest and he was arraigned Monday.
The case went over until yesterday
and he was released on $4,000 bail.
Meanwhile the grand jury returned six
indictments against the actor, some of
them charging criminal assault and
abduction.
When the original case was called
yesterday and the defendant failed to
appear, his counsel asked that the
bond he continued for one week. The
district attorneys assistant made no
objection and the magistrate set the
hearing for next Wednesday after
noon.
One Of Accusers Missing.
New York, Nov. 3.-The bondsmen of
Raymond Hitchcock still have five
days in which to deliver the comedian
to the court, where he is charged with
offenses against young girls. 1t was
limited yesterday that the actor was
living quietly in this city and would be
on hand to face his accusers when the
case is called next Wednesday.
Neither his wife, it is said, nor his
bondsmen and counsel, have received
the slightest clue to his whereabouts.
The police continued their search
yesterday. canvassing the lodging
houses of the theatrical district, keep.
ing men posted at the railway and
steamship terminals, and even calling
upon the authorities of other cities to
hold Hitchcock should he be recog.
nized in their locality.
Accuser Is Missing.
A new twist to the complication was
was given yesterday when the police
attempted to locate Bella Mckenzie,
aged seventeen years, one of Hitch;
cocks accusers. She left home a
month ago and subsequently took
rooms in West Sixtieth street. Ac.
cording to agents of the Children
society, she had met Hitchcock since
his troubles began. She left her last
lodging about the time the actor was
indicted. The police believe that the
girl could throw some light on what
has become of Hitchcock.
The u1ty other developments yes,
terday were in the way of new theo,
ries regarding the actors disappear,
ance. The most fanciful theory and
one which found some favor, was that
the actor had called into play his
makeup" genius and by clever dis
guise was enabled to roam at will
about the city.

The People Want
Power
Centralized.
~ United states Senator cHAuscEY ~. DEpEw
Of New York

" Z have a Capitalization Of power and executive author
iy beyond the dreams Of Hamilton, and it il the
popular will But still more remarkable than cen
tralization Is the expansion Of popular appreciation
Of the executive office. The presidency has grown
into proportions which OyERSHADOW THE CONGRESS and
the courts. The people expect the president not only to deliver the
messages contemplated BY the constitution, but to instruct their rep
Representatives on all matters Of Interest. The formative or re-
straining hand Of the executive is on EVERY DETAIL and pro-
posed amendment Of leading measures. There are 90 senators and
36 members Of the house Of representatives, but apparently the
people believe their functions r to ranfy recommendations, and
they resent INDEPENDENT CONGRESSIONAL SUCCESS
TIONS which alter bills o opposition to their enactment.
: While this expansion Of executive power is in harmony with the
views and practice of one Of the most independent and resourceful
of our presidents, even his genius for moding public opinion could
not have produced these results if the trend Of the popular mind
had not been in that direction The people r supreme, and what
ever happens is VIVA THEY DEMAND. The absorption Of the
time and mind Of the citizen by the competitive intensity, higher
standards and increased cost Of our economic life is rapidly rec-
eating to some trusted leader the INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE
which has been the characteristic of our political development and
the glorious mission Of government by town meeting.
Over half a century upon the platform and in aTars has taught
m % one supreme lesson. 1t is that revolution and evolution, errors
Of legislation or crazes Of the hour, crystalizinz into policies, may
check FOR THE MOMENT orr development, bit cannot stay our
progress.
With a n archaic monetary system which produces periodical
panics, raises the rate of interest on monev to 100 per cent per
annum and prevents our occupying our natural position as the worlds
center of finance, W have yet built a COMMERCIAL EMPIRE
and reapcd the harvest of a productive energy beyond the experience
Of any nation and all periods.
TO ADOPT THE METHODS BY WHICH Rival NATIONS KEEP THEIR
FLEETS ON TIE OCEAN. AND, THOUGH WE PAY The FREIGHT TO
FOREIGNERS, OUR PRODUCERS MANIAC 10 MAINTAIN A STRONG
