 The arrival of two special drop let ters at the Chalfonte, however, gave the impression that some reply had been made to Griscom's personal ad- vertisement in New York paper. Omara would not discuss this.
 While the Griscoms would lot dis cuss it tonight there was report at Atlantic City that the elder Griscom had sent word to the father of the girl saying his daughter had been found and that the younger Griscom would go after her.
 John w. Arnold, brother of the mls" sing young woman, said today he and others of his family still think that the final solution of the strange mys- tery of the effair will be solved when
 the public learns that Dorothy is dead.

ROSENBERG HOME
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Members of the Family Had q Narrow Escape From Flames-M. E. Bloom
 Owned the Building.

When the attractive home of F. M Rosenberg, at No 1920 West Fifth avenue, caught fire shortly after 8 o'clock Sunday morning, the members of the family and other occupants of the house were compelled to flee from the building and before they had time 10 save any of their personal effects the big two story structure was in flames. F. M Rosenberg, who was asleep in his rcom on tho second floor, was forced to leave his room in his night clo:G3s and hardly before .. reached the sld ~,'k the u,;ter so collapsed, n-3ay D so"uding the alarm fror the "'en:ra" office of the old phone company prevented the firemen from Engine House No 2, only two blocks away, from sav- ing a part of the building.
 They did good work, however, after their arrival and prevented the flames from spreading to adjoining residences. while the occupants of the other .homes were making all ar Engagements to move their household and personal effects. Mr. Rosenberg in addition to losing practically all of his clothing, lost a valuable watch and did not have time to take his eye glasses on a bureau near his bed. The building was owned by M.

 The fire is believed to have origin ated from a defective gas stove which had been left burning in the bath room by s. F. Rosenberg, after bathing The stove was left barn. ingto keep the bathroom warm for F. N Rosenberg, who was sleeping Iii an adjoining room. Mrs. Rosenberg and mother, Mrs. A. Ruebel, and guest Mrs. Julia Rosenbaum, were downstairs at breakfast. Mrs. Ros- enberg was staying at the Rosenberg home during the absence of hHr daughters from the city and lost some of her personal effects.

ON
 SALARY BILL County Officials, Senator and Representatives Be- fore the Committee.
MIR. BREWSTER YIELDS
T0ney Challenged For Mass Meeting But Declined-Will Hold
 One Anyway.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 13.-The Judiciary Committee of the Senate to. night held a session at the Marion Hotel for the purpose of hearing ar- gument for and against the Toney salary bill, affecting Jefferson conu- ty, and many presented argument, in- cluding President H. K. Toney, the author of the measure; Representa- tives E. J. Kerwin, w. B. Pinney and c. D. McAllister, of Jefferson county; Sheriff Edgar Brewster, County Treasurer c. M Nichol and Circui Clerk G. E. Lytle, all of Pine Bluff.
 The most interesting feature dur ing the session was the statement Of Sheriff Edgar Brewster, who after be- ing rigidly questioned by Senator To- ney agreed to accept the measure, as drawn with few amendments of sec tions which MT. Brewster did not think definite, and withdrew his per- sonal objections to the bill. Mr. Brew ster was asked if he would accept the bill, as drawn with the few amend ments as he suggested, and he an- swered s'Yes." Senator Toney put the question to him.
 Representative B. J. Kerwin an l Senator Toney championed the meas ure before the committee and Repre- sentatives Pinney and McAllister strongly opposed it. The two lat ter representatives urged the Con- mittee to let the people of Jeffe1s )n county say whether or not they want- ed the measure to become d law. They argued the inconsistency of it in that it is made effective at once.
 The Jefferson county officials all spoke against the bill, presenting facts and figures to sustain their ar guments against it, conterding that the salaries in almost every instance are unjust and would not admit ot good, efficient servlce on their part. They made the strongest point Ill their argument in contending that 1t should not become Law at this time. and stated that they had no objection to salary system-a more liberal one-two years from the present time.
 Senator Toney declined, when chal- lenged, to present the question to mass meeting of the citizens Of jef- ferson county. The officials asked him point blank if he would agree to first get an impression from tue people ol his home county on the measure 10 ascertain if it was popular with ma iority of them.
 The two representatives and the oi' trials who r2p.'l :ne salary oH oc drawn. co,:,.1.ah before the com ,,;+toa that -he r:.ne'e.
