CHILD STILL MISSING,
Louisville (Ky.) Police Unable to Solve
Mystery of Whereabouts of
Alma Kellner.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Dec. 13.-The
last theory which babe fair to develop
into clue as to the whereabouts of
Alma Kellner. the S-year-old Louisville
girl who disappeared from her home last
Wednesday, was dissipated today. Ac-
cordingly detectives began on a clean
slate the efforts to restore to her fam
ily the child who is Yariously believed
to have met with foul play, to have
suffered a fatal accident or to have been
spirited away by kidnapers.
Every relative of the KelIners has
been traced and watched, every possible
hiding place within half mile of their
home and as far as the church to which
the child was bound on the morning she
disappeared has been searched. The pc
lice have not yet admitted that they
cannot solve the mystery, but they are
growing anxious.
The family has offered no reward, but
all the facilities that Frank Fehr. mil
lionaire brewer and uncle of Alma, could
provide have been used in the search.
