KEMP FOUND,
POLICE THINK,
IN MISSOURI
Authorities Here Believe
Suspect IS Probably
Man Wanted.

Following the publication OF dis
patches from St Louis telling Of the
arrest in Moselle, Mo, Of a man sup
posed to be James Arthur Kemp, the
alleged defaulting property clerk of the
Police Department every effort is be-
ing made by the police to communicate
with the authorities there. Practically
ali telegraphic communication from the
West having been cut of by the opera
tors strike, il Is almost impossible 70
get messages through. and officials
here believe that a message telling of
the mans arrest has been delayed in
transit.
Major Sylvester has received no COM
munication whatsoever from either the
St Louis or Moselle police. and no
action will be taken until official verih-
cation IS received OF KemD's arrest
Have Watched Seaports.
Although the police say that it is
highly probable that the man picked in
Moselle is the missing police official,
the apprehension of Kemp in that sec
tIon Of the country would not be in ae-
cordance with theories on which the
detective bureau has Deen working ir
a vain effort TO find the former clerk.
Ever since Kemps disappearance men
have been working in Baltimore, New
York, Philadelphia. and even as far
East as Boston, it being believed that
Kemp had probably sailed from one OF
these cities for some foreign port
a police official said this morning that
4 Kemp was still in the United States
he would be found within the next three
weeks II he is abroad, however, il
may take three months. That he will
be captured is the belief Of those who
are directing the search, and no ex-
pense or work will be spared in the
effort.
Placard All Postoffces.
BY Saturday night every postoffice
I'm the United States will have received
a circular with a photograph OF the
missing man, and Offering a reward Of
500 for his arrest. Within the next
month every agent in the employ of the
consular service will have received an
envelope containing six circulars. In
France alone there will be more than
100 circulars distributed. Six hundred
cities in South America have been sent

This order now means that all the

This disproves the statement OF
President CIowry that the strike is over
and the complete substlntiation Of the
statement Of Deputy President Thomas,
Of the union, that we have just begun.
The public is beginning to realize
that the statements Of the officials are
incorrect. The great delay and incon-

cannot be countenanced long. With the
general order today we are far more
confident than ever before.
Must Leave Today.
Every Associated Press operator
must leave his key today or be dislOyal

not many will remain when il is put

expect every man to strike.
