MISSING MEARSON GIRL
 F0UND IN NEW HAVEN
 RETURNED TO PARENTS

Esther Maude Mearson, tne six teen-year-old Harlem girl wnose dis appearance last Monday morning, employment as a stenographer, drove her parents to the verge of nervous proStrat1on and caused the police and detectives of New York much trou- ble, was found yesterday in New Ha- ven. She is now safe with her father and mother at the Mearson home, 107 East 123rd street. She was brought back last night by her elder brother. Lyon J. B. Mearson, law student, who went to New Haven upon re- ceiving a telegram that his sister was there.
 Esther. who had found work as a servant in the home of Contractor Bassett of New Haven, had assumed the name of Marie Burns, the first name because of her admiration for Marie Antoinette, her favor1te hero inc. She says she ran away from home because she was possessed Of wanderlust. She says she wanted to get away from New York and live in a quiet town, far removed from the noise of a large city. She says, too, that she is sorry she ran away, for she did not think at the time of the anxiety her disappearance would bring to her mother and father.
 The runaway girl was welcomed home last night as one who had re- turned from the grave, for her par ents firmly believed until yesterday that their daughter had been kid mapped and perhaps murdered as was Ruth Wheeler. Esther says that she will never run away again and that she is really glad to be back home among her brothers and sis ters. She has had her fill of TO- nance, she says.
 The first reassuring news that the Mearson family had of their missing daughter since her disappearance on Monday came yesterday afternoon in the form of a telegram addressed to Mrs. Mearson. It was. from New Ha- ven and read: Girl came to me; an swers description of your child. Safe" It was signed Mrs. D. A. Hubbell.

BILLIE BURKE AS
 MRS. DOT AMUSES
 LARGE AUDIENCE

Billie Burke, as Mrs. Dot" in the play of the same name brought to Jackson's last night, the same pleas ing personality that has made her so many friends everywhere. The piece is English and amusing. It conveys no moral deals with no problem, and scarcely tells a story. The company was excellent and did it's work faith fully The plot hinges upon the fact that a young man, for no valid reason, will not marry Mrs. Dot, although he wants to do so and she wants him to do so. There is an engagement to a girl. and widows come last. Some two hours and a half is spent in marry ing the girl to another, and the cur tain goes down with everybody happy. It may be mentioned in passing that seldom has an actress in a legitimate part made more liberal display Of plump ankles garbed in pink stockings than did Billie Burke, last night. The house was filled.
