KEIS KEME1nY DISAPPEARS
POLICE ASKED TO LOCATE
LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHER.
Missing From His Studio Since
Sunday-In Business Here More
Than Twenty-Five Years.

Anxious inquiries were made of the po-
lice tody concerning the where abouts of
NJ. kets kemethy. the photographer at
Ills Pennsylvania avenue. He was last
seen by friends Sunday morning. Last
night the police of the first precinct were
asked to find him, and this morning the
request was repeated. What has become
of the photographer none of his friends
seems to have the slightest idea. His
wife lives in the northeast section Of
the city, but he did not live with her,
although. friends say, he sent her money
each week.
The photographer. who is a Hungari an.
is fifty-seven years of age. For more
than twenty-five years he was in bust
ness at 100 Pennsylvania avenue. but
moved three doors west about fifteen
months ago. This morning. when his
rooms were visited no note or message
of any kind was found. The photogra-
pher. it is said. had recently done his own
cooking and homework.
NJ. kets Kemethy was at one time
one of the more prominent photographers
in this city. He had trouble with his
wife several years ago. and. it is stated
the latter created scene In his studio
by shooting through the door.
A description of the missing man has
been sent to the several police stations.
