 MT. Griscom Eliminated From the
 Case.
 ''The name of a Mir. Griscom. a Mir. George c. Griscom, Jr. of Pittsburg, has come into the case in certain quar- ters," said MT. Keith, "and I want to explain just how the Arnold family stands and has stood with regard to Mir Griscou,.
 Miss Arnold knew Mir. Griscom. as she knew many other men In going through her correspondence after she disappeared they found his name and three other names Of young men of New York of whom we thought it necessary to investigate just as we in vestfgated everything and everyone who might have the most remote bear ing on the case. Dorothy Arnold was not a girl to whom the flattery of men meant much, but we Investigated everything.
 Well. in the course of this in- vestigation we decided to call on all Miss Arnolds classmates at Bryn Mawr and other young men who knew her well for information of any parti- cular man with whom she might have been on especially friendly terms. MT. Griscom wRs suggested One girl was sure Dorothy had not heard from Mir. Griscom for two weeks before he went abroad. He sailed on November 3, 1910.
 "In those ways we did the natural tkirg, we went to the best knowH Griscom in New York. MT. Lloyd Gris- com said that George Griscom was distant relative whom he had not seen fin twenty years. He was able to refer us. however, to an aunt in Pittshurg, and from her we learned that GeorgeC. Criscorn. Jr.. was in Florence. Italy, wth his father and mother.
 "It happened that there were two young women in Florence at that time with whom Dorothy had been very ir- tirnate. also, as sisters might be So we sent a cable to those young women asking them to inquire of MT. Gris- com for us what he might know of Dorothy and to send us back word by cable if he had anything important 10 tell. What he had to tell was SD unimportant that they merely wrote. Mir. Griscom was thereupon eliminated from the case. No suspicion attaches to him whatever"

 been in Washington for couple of days, but has mysteriously kept out of sight. Inquiry at the White House
 brought out the fact that he called there Thursday afternoon, but none of the newspaper men saw him. and of course no one would state what his business was or even whether he saw President Taft or not. It is presumed he did call on the president, blHt whether by appointment or not cannot be learned.
 MT. Goodwin did not come to the capitol at least, if he did, no one from Connecticut SAW him. He is sup posed to be staying at the Netropoli- tan club, but several Inquiries there met with the response that he was out Why all this mystery. is . CO., nundrum. Usually when promtn ent poll iticians come from 8 state, they arc seen around the capitol and like to mix with their representatives from the state. Some one suggested that MT. Good. win might be in Washingtoa at the suggestion of President Taft and thai he would be offered tho place of sec- retary to the president. This is, how ever, hardly credited in Washington, but no one can tell for certain un- till President Taft is ready to ma,rs his announcements. Around the capitol there are many who believe that Representative Tawney, who leaves the house March 4th, is slated for this place. At all events, it is genoraliy predicted that man of national prom thence will be selected for tlfis place. Senator elect George P.
