DISTRICT ATTY
WHITMAN PROBES
ARNOLD MYSTERY
Will Summon Members of Fam
lily of New
York Heiress.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-District-At-
torney Whitman will summon the men,
bers Of the family of Miss Dorothy
Arnold, the heiress who has beef miss
ing since December IL. before him this
week, and if any of them know any
reason for the girls disappearance it
will be brought out. The members
of the family who/will appear before
Mr.. Whitman are the father and
mother Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Arnold,
the two brothers and the sister, Miss
Marjorie Arnold.
Mr.. Whitman decided on this course
following a conference he had with Mr..
Arnold. Immediately after this CON
ference Mr.. Arnold was asked:
Does the evidence you have secured
convince you tina your daughter is
dead?"
The evidence has not been thor
oughly investigated" Mr.. Arnold re-
piled. There have been many letters
which, placed together, seem to point
to a ! tending to solve the mys-
terry"
Detectives on Guard.
Several strange men were near the
Arnold residence, 109 East Seventy
ninth street, yesterday, and 1t was said
they were detectives employed to keep
a watch on all Of the ArnoIds. Why
such p%recaution was taken vas not
explained.
When the men were asked If they
were employed by the father of George
S. Griscom, jr., they refused to either
deny or affirm the fact. 1t Is said that
George s. Griscom, jr, has not been
asked to appear before the district
attorney.
There was a report today that
Dorothy Arnold Is married and that
her husband Is a clerk employed on
Wall Street. According to this story
Miss Arnold and her husband returned
to America from abroad w weeks age.
Little credence is placed in this report.
A dispatch from Spokane says the
girl at Sand Point, Idaho. who said she
was Dorothy Arnold, of New York,
and then denied any knowledge of the
missing woman, has been identified as
Dora Falk, who fed from the Saliva
ton Army rescue home In Spokane.

POSSIBLE ARMORY SITE
Inspected by Adjt. General Cole and
General ShuItz-Various Pieces of
Land Looked Over.

Tuesday Adjt.-Gen. George N. Cole
of the Connecticut national guard came
to this city from Hartford in com
rany with Gen. Edward Shultz and
with Mayor d. p. Dunn and Capt. P.
=. F. Sullivan looked over a number
of pieces of land that are available as
sites for the new state arInory, for
which an appropriation CT $4,000 was
made at the last session of the general
assembly.
The members of the party did not
care to say just what plots of land
they looked over, but said that half a
dozen different sites had been viewed
by them both on the north and south
sides of the river and four of them
seemed to be admirably well suited
for the purposes of an armory. These
four sites will be looked into further
and later the one that appears to be
best adapted will be selected for the
- ariAars.
bi-ufes were secured on all the sites
II they would not say which one they
preferred and would not give any ink
ing as to the approximate cost of the
and. Since they left town another
site las been suggested and this will
rrobaoly be looked at. later before a
decision is reached. although it was
left to tbs mayor and Captain Sullivan
to obtain additional information rela-
tive to the sites. 1t is hoped to de-
eide the question of a site soon and
get at the building of the new armory
as soon as possible. =

NF1ER I WO YEARS.
Saloons to Be Opened i'm Danielson.

One month from today "wednesday
licensed saloons will be open in Dan
ielson for the first time since the last
day of October. 1909, completing two
year period of no-license. How many
licenses are the commissioners going
tc grant," was question frequently
heard Tuesday.
The last time Killingly had license
there were Is licensed places in the
town Danielson had II of these. Two
others were at DayviI1e. Very few even
of the license men but agree that IL
is too many for Danielson. On the
basis of population and under the one
license to 500 people law the commits
sioners may grant 10 licenses in Kill
lingly but this is optional with them,
and they may if they see fit reduce
the number. 1t is a cinch, however.
that there will be at least 10 applica-
tions. unIucky though the number may
be.
How 1t Happened
No man in killing1y pretended to set
himself up Tuesday as the possessor of
the real reason why the voters return
ed such a surprising majority for Ii
cense-surprising to everyone. A few
ventured opinions as to the cause for
the fop-over, these to be taken for
what they were worth but to produce
was able Other surprising things that
happened in the voting can be ex-
planned but not this.
If averages count for anything. how
ever, Killingly is normally license
town two thirds Of the time. as is
shown by the following table of re-
suits of voting on the issue for the last
Is years, including 1911. 10 of them
being license years: 1897. 126 yes;
1898, II yes; 1899. so yes; 1900. 116
yes: 1901. 50 yes; 1902, Is yes; 1908,
IS yes; 1904, IS no: 1905, 8 yes; 1906,
40 no; 1907 16 no; 1908, 40 yes; 1909,
10 no: 1910, no; 1911. "A yes.
KillingIy has an active and efficient
no-1icense organization, though. and
the issue is never to be considered, set
tied for a year until the votes are
counted. And. again. the license aues-
ton is very similar. in a way, in Kill
lingly to a sick baby-it must be
handled with extreme delicacy or re-
suits secured may be surprising.
