Louisville, KY, Dec. 14.-A search
ing party composed of thousands Of
the fathers and mothers of Louis
vile, was organized last night at the
corner of Shelby avenue and Broad
way. They are bending every eiijort
to find Alma Katherine Kellner, eight
years old. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Frederick F. Kellner, Jr., who was
kidnapped on Wednesday of last week
and concerning whom no definite clew
has yet been discovered.
The absence Of any letters demand
ing a ransom only increases the belief
that the child has met with foul play,

them became so pronounced.
Parents Think Child Alive.
However, the parents believe she is
alive, and that they will ultimately
obtain her return.
An appeal is to be made by Judge
Pryor of the criminal division of the
