a Month.
FAILURE OF ALL CLEXS
Police Department Sends De-
scriptions of Girl to Many
Cities.

CQlo-,o, DeC- So.- IT you are Klu-
Ing on a railroad train, on an elevated
train or street car, or walking along
the street, and see a girl whom you
believe to be Violet Buehler, cali
policeman and determine the question
at once"
Such is the request which the police
yesterday made as a means not only
of finding the heiress, who has
been missing since Nov 25, but of
eliminating many days OF useless
search along the lines Of clews which
are groundless.
1t is hoped by the police that this
appeal. circulated broadcast in Chi
cago and other cities. will enlist the
aid of millions of men and women in
the search for the missing heiress.
One month has elapsed since this 16-
year-old girl started from the Hotel
Meyers on South State street. ostensi-
bly, to visit her aunt in Racine. She
never arrived there.
Ever since the news Of her disap-
pearance became public scarcely day
has passed without the discovery Of
some girl who Is Invariably declared to
have been Violet Buehler, but By the
time the police are informed she has
disappeared.
MANY CLEws PROVE FRUTTIEss.
Days have been consumed running
down these clews, and all to no pur-
pose, and the police, while not dis
heartened, are becoming heartily tired
OF investigating clews which have no
foundation.
A girl who registered at the New ST.
blond, while Violet Buehler is of a dis
tinctly brunette type.
Yet various persons declared posi-
lively that in every respect she was
the image of the missing girl and the
hopes of family and police were once
more raised only to be dashed to
earth
Contrary to the police description
furnished at the time her disappear
ance was made public, the missing
girls eye teeth are intact. She has
lest two teeth, but both are back
teeth, one in the upper and one in the
lower jaw.
INTENDED To GO TO RACINE.
Two remarks made by the girl the

} that she went away with the inten-
ton of visiting her aunt in Racine.

, ment.
/ In packing her suit case she placed
I therein an extra dark skirt and a cali
: co waist, such as she was wont to
: wear when busying herself about her
! own and her mothers apartment at the
, hotel.
. She made some remark about find,
Z ing them handy if she assisted her
S aunt in some household duties and
!, when the suit case was filed, together
/ with a number of delicacies for her
t relatives in Racine, Mrs. Buehler
called her attention to the fact that
Il she had omitted night dress.
/ DID NOT ELOPE, is BELTEF.
@ What's the use, mother?" she re
e piled. Il will be there only short
t time and l will wear one OF Aunt
Mary's."

O Mrs. Buehler's words and packed a.
