.,nce THREATENS DANVllLE c,ry ATTORNEY WITH CON- TEMPT PROCEEDINGS.
|GOES BEFORE GRAND JURY
-,,,k Jones Makes Important State
 ,,ents to Investigating Body and Further Developments May Follow in Consequence.

nanville. H., Feb. 2.-City Attorney Frank Jones must answer the ques- t,ons put to him by the grand jury or 20 to fail for contempt of court. 1udge Kimbrough handed down de- eision fin which he ruled that Jones under the ruling of the supreme court If the United States. was immune from indictment and prosecution even if he should implicate himself. The court then instructed Jones to go be- fore the jury and tell all he knew. After another conference with his attorneys they instructed Jones to go into the grand jury room and tell all. Jones lost no time in going. Judge Kimbrough also decided that the city election law, which makes the buyer guilty as well~as the seller, is unconstitutional, which makes it impossible for the jury to go further back in the investigation than IS months.
 Had Refused to Answer. Previous to this City Attorney Jones had been before the grand jury and had refused to answer questions concerning his participation in recent elections. He was twice taken be- fore Judge Kimbrough by Foreman Woodward and the court instructed him to answer all questions, but the city attorney declared he had good legal authority for refusing and the matter was postponed.
 It is said that the question which he refused to answer was:
 Did you ever purchase votes at any elections held in this county?"
 Threat Is Carried Out.
 Jones had previously declared that he was tired of the attempt to make him the scapegoat of the investiga- tion, and he would go before the grand jury and give testimony, backed by proof, that would make certain persons squirm, if he were pushed any further.

HElRESS' MOTHER MUCH AVERsE TO PUBLIC LEARNING
 DAU GHTER'S SECRET.
BELIEVED TO BE MARRIED
Incident at Florence (taly) Hotel Throws Light Upon Alleged Fam fly Mystery-Love Affair With
 Pittsbure Man Tinted.

New York, Feb. 2.-The secret con- cerning the disappearance of Miss Dorothy Arnold, the missing heiress, is being guarded today in Europe by Mrs. Frances A. Arnold, mother of the girl, and should the real facts of the case ever become known the mother has declared she will never return to this country.
 If the truth ever becomes known through the newspapers" Mrs. Arnold said shortly before leaving her home for Italy, 'I will go away and never come back"
 A friend of the missing girl stated that he was convinced that Miss Ar hold had been secretly married, either before or after her disappearance.
 Griscom Is Named
 A private dispatch received in New York throws additional light upon the mystery of the girls disappearance. It connects George Griscom, Jr., of Pittsburg with the missing heiress.
 The dispatch says that a yelled woman who called upon George Gris- com, Jr., of Pittsburg early in De- cember is believed to have been Miss Dorothy Arnold, daughter of the New York millionaire importer, who dis appeared from her home there on De- cember 12. The young woman vis- ited the Anglo-American hotel in Ylor- ence some time after December 15. as nearly as the clerks can recall. A day before she called a pretty young wo- man visited the hotel and asked If Griscom was registered there. Griscom had come to the hotel on November 21 with his parents. When the clerk informed the visitor that Griscom had a room at the hotel she expressed her thanks for the informa- tion and left.
 The next day the same young wo- man was back at the hotel, accompa- nted by another young woman. They asked for the Griscom apartment and were taken up to it.
 For some time there was an earn, est talk between Griscom and the two. From what the clerks observed they were of the opinion that the yelled young woman was greatly agi- tated and that it was she who was particularly concerned in the visit.

SKIN DISEASES
HumOrs inn the Blood

Nature has made ample provision
in tie moisture and sunshine OF the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition of the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. 1t IS from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fbrous tissues are all preserved
in a healthful state because of con-
slant .nutriment supplied by the blood.
1t is only when the circulation be-
comes infected with humors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affcc-
tons. The humors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
culation direct to the skin, and their

Andrew D. White Warns the Coun-

GREAT HOST OF ANARCHISTS
Immediate Legislation Urged as

NEW YORK, January "a great host

Handlers who already enjoy American

He says
THE assassin and anarchist, whom
London plans to be well rid Of soon,

ers than in any other, namely, our own.
Our nation affords them the happiest

New York. in Los Angeles, in Chicago
and other cities prove this.
This nation. with Its carelessness in
admitting foreign criminals, its ineffec-
tive ways of dealing with them and its
Idc1HtleS LOT clearing them or quit, Is
becoming more and more attractive for
them every day.
In the United States the number of
murders during the year just closed was
1878. an increase Of 300 over the year
preceding. Only one in eighty-six was
capitally punished The number Of muir
ders in the United States is to the num-
Der in England as 116 to 6.
Murder Trials FarcicaI.
In sundry murder trials the statement
was frequently made that our admins
tratfon Of criminal justice as regards
murder has become farce. These trials
were by most of those who conducted
them-and indeed by the public at large
evidently considered not as efforts to Sc
cure justice, but simply as games, and
mostly between pettifOggers, the judges
appearing much like umpires at games Of
foot ball. The men whom we glorify in
our courts are the men who can clear
murdererS in spite of the undoubted evil
dence Of guilt. The prosecuting attor-
neys are largely chosen from among
those of least experience in the legal pro-
fession and are in many ways absurdly
handicapped. Naturally, then, the GRIM
inal class Is becoming in many parts Of
our country a body somewhat favored by
