Strange Disappearance of
Young Woman

NEW YORK, Jan. ga fortune

porter, information that win lead to
the finding of his daughter Dorothy.
twenty-five years of age, who has
been missing from the palatial Ar
mold home In East Seventy ninth
street since December IL. Through
his attorneys and the police Arnold
announced to-day that there was no
limit to the reward that ne would
pay for the return OF his daughter.
According TO the family, there liz no
known reason for Miss Dorothy's
strange disappearance, There is no
romance connected with 1t. as far as
her parents know. The family scouts
the idea OF suicide, asserting that the
young woman was OF Il cheerful dis
position and had everything she
wished. -
Miss Arnold is a graduate of Bryn
Mawr. She received an allowance OF
500 month from her father. but
her bank balance disproves the theory
that she went away on long trip.
On Saturday. December 10, Miss
Arnold gave a luncheon to a number
of her girl friends at Sherry's. On
the following Monday she left home
at 1850 to buy a new dress for the
holidays. Her mother wished to ac-
company her, but Dorothy dissuaded
her. Investigation shows that the
girl first went to confectionery and
then to Fifth avenue book store.
where she bought book. Nothing Il
known Of her movements since leas-
ing the book store.
The family kept the disappearance
from the public until last night, be-
ing averse to publicity. They finally

SHIP SUBSIDY IS
Played IN SENATE
Senator Shively Says Meas
ure Increases Parliamentary
Capacity of Ships
NOT PRACTICAL FOR
MARINE DEVELOPMENT
Indiana Legislator Points Out
Points He Conceives Iniq-
uitous in Proposed
Measure

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. 70
Ship subsidy was denounced ny Sen
ator Shiyely (Democrat), of Indiana,
in the Senate to-day as a waste OF
public money The decay of the
American merchant marine, he said
was due not to the lack bonus PAID
from the national treasury. but to the
operation OF an autiquated navigation
code.
Referring to the Gallinger ocean
mail service bill, designed to encour-
age the establishment OF steamship
lines to south America. Shively said:
ut is plain that the measure con-
templates no increase of cargo or
speed capacity In vessels carrying
ocean commerce. The increase is only
in a parliamentary capacity and speed
in carrying money out of the United
States treasury. The amount of pay
for voyage Is precisely the same
whether the vessel carries only lone
picture of Mary OF the vine-clad cot
tage or a hundred tons Of mail.
We pay for the conveyance Of a
ton of letter mail in an American
steamer 1000 as against s7o0 IL car
ried in a foreign steamer, and for a
ton of print mail $50 as against $50.
All to what avail For the year
of our foreign commerce carried in
American bottoms was IS per cent.
For the year ending June so. 1910,
this proportion had fallen 10 s per
cent.
Senator Shively referred to the
United States navigation laws az
memorials to stone blind avarice and
stupid folly--tfe deadly blight on our
merchant marine"
He pointed out as the worst feat
ure OF the laws the one prohibiting
the placing OF foreign built ships in
American registry.
shiveiy named six steamship lines
that mako Fegalas- trips fFem New
York to South America. They did not
make direct return trips, he said. be-
cause they could not get cargoes to
the United States. He explained tina,
a ship In Argentina would take a
cargo of agricultural products to Eu-
rope and procure in Europe q cargo
for the United States.

Jan. G, 1900, was fought the
Rattle of Caesars camp outside
Ladysmith, famous in English his
tory as the first battle of the Boer
war, in which there were more
Beers killed than there we're Brit
ish. To other people it's chief value
was to show that the Uitlanders
were true allies of the Beers, for
some of the English had protested
to believe that they were not in
earnest sympathy with the rebel
lion. Their conduct at Caesars
camp removed all doubt on this
point.
