NO CLEW TO MISSING
GIRL is DISCOVERED
Police Doubt That Miss Arnold
Is Held by Kidnaper for
Ransom.

New York, Jan. 30.-Developments
today in the search for Miss Dorothy
Arnold, the missing heiress. included
the report of additional letters demand
ing a ransom for the young woman's
return; a reported declaration by Dep
uty Police Commissioner Linn that he
believed the girl had not been harmed,
and would return home in a few days,
INC the announcement that Miss Ar
nold's brother. who has been abroad on
q secret mission since her disappear
ance, was on his way back to New
York.
Both the police and the lawyers di-
recting the search scout the theory
that Miss Arnold Is held for ransom.
John s.. Keith, OF Mr.. Arnold's legal
advisors, asserted the belief that the
letters were written by blackmailers. Il
they We're taken seriously, he said, the
searchers would face the untenable
theory that Miss Arnold was held fol
ransom by four different persons.
Mr.. Keith was d!s!nclinea also tc
that Miss Arnold would return home
shortly. There were no fresh clews ir
the case, nor was there anything upon
which to base such a theory SO fa1
as he knew.
The trip Of John Arnold, the missing
girls brother, to Europe, which was
made soon after Miss Arnold disap-
peared, had nothing to do with the
search, Mr.. Keith declared. He sait
the young man went abroad in the in.
tereSt of his fathers business.
A demand for $1,000 ransom fol
Miss Arnold and an intimation that Mr.
Arnold's home may be blown up are
contained in one of the letters made
public by Mr.. Keith today.

Mount Taal, In the Philippine
Islands, In a State Of Violent
Eruption.

Manila, Jan. 31.-An American school
teacher, who has traversed the west
shore Of Lake Taal, telegraphs that
five small villages were DESTROYED by
the tidal ave caused by the eruption
of Mount Taa1, n that not less than
300 persons have been killed in that
vicinity. Many We're burned In fires

A co~nstabuiary relief detachment re-

killed by lightning at Talisay and that
three persons were drowned at Lemery.
The government is hurrying a relief
train to the scene.
Eruptions Still Occur.
The eruptions continued today. The
sky was cloudless and there was no
wind, but the muddy rain fell stead
lily. The natives have abandoned their
village homes in the vicinity of Lake
Taal n sought refuge in the sur
rounding hills.
Mount Taal rises in the center of
Lake Taal, a body of water not more

81 miles from this city, from which
dense clouds of smoke. rising from the

'BRADSTREE AND Dun
REPORT ON BUSINESS
Mild Weather, Il Is Said, Has
Had Depressing Effect on
the Retail Trade.

New York, Jan. 3o.-Rrads.reet's
Saturday says:
Trade is quiet and tends to drag, ex-
cept in supplies for agricultural inter-
ests where spring requirements must
be met. Unseasonably mild weather
has tended to dull retail trade despite
clearance sales, and many markets re-
port operations below expectations. Elk
cept at some markets where carly
spring buyers are in evidence, jobbing
trade has ruled quiet. Cotton goods
lead in activity. In wholesale lines COM
servatism rules purchases for distant
positions. h apparently is the re-
suit Of inducements offered buyers,
and lines showing concessions are more
active than the regular staples on
which former prices are firmly held.
In industry, aside from a cheerful.
feeling In iron and steel, quiet still
prevails. Trade In wire products has
expanded. helped by the ~seasonable
advent of spring demand.
:, Curtailment in the tanning industry
has brought tirmer prices for sole
leather, but while shoe manufacturers
ct the west report more doing, eastern
producers report buying only for ac-
tual needs. In textiles some cotton
goods sell well, while others move only
atasclose margins. Cotton warns are
weaker for ow grades and WOODEN
yarns are dull.

r. Ct. Dun's weekly review today
says:
There has beer an Improvement In
the direction in which business con-
traction has been most pronounced.
This has contributed to the growth of
confidence. The larger activity in iron
and steel shared by other industries.
the better feeling exhibited in financial
therefrom are the important develop
ments. The hettarment in iron is chief
iy in finished products, tin plate, wire
and structural materials. The advances
of 81 a ton in wire products was fol-
lowed by the placing of the New York
Central rail contract for 176, $50 tone
while other railroads have taken mod
crate tonnages.
Encouraging developments are noted
in the structural department, where
many deferred orders are coming for
ward and transporting companies are
| giving out bridge work with greater
| freedom. Tin plate operations are NOV
ing more active than for several
months and the outlook in sheets is
improved. In pig iron the demand has
diminished in eastern markets and
prices are weaker.

from Key West to Havana, at 1882 this

positions 10 miles apart. When word
came by wireless from the torpedo
boat destroyer Roe that the boats wert
stationed, McCurdy got ready to make
the flight.
The motor had been tuned up and
amid a silence that was almost OPP

Swiftly the %aeroplane ran along tn,
smooth ground for about 10U feet. tner
easily and gracefully it rose from the
earth. AS he left the ground the as
sembled crowd gave a hearty cheer,
McCurdy waived his hand and was
off on the most difficult trip over the
sea that has ever been attempted.
With tremendous velocity the great
white winged biplane shot out over the
smooth waters. A%nXiously the crowd
gathered on the shore and watched the
machine as 1T grew smaller and faded
from sight. Anxiously they waited for
the first news by wireless and when
the dispatch came that he had passed
the third boat 80 miles from shore and
was flying smoothly, another cheer was
given.
McCurdy had originally planned to
start on January "a. He arrived at
Key West several lays before that
date and made preparations for the
fight. On last Tuesday morning, how
ever, atmospheric conditions were such
that he decided 1T would be unsafe to
make the attempt. Day after day and
night after night he waited for reports
that the wind was moderate and the
sea smooth.
The navy department took an active
interest in the flight ard every facil-
ity at it's command was given to help.
Tugboats and torpedo BOA d~estroyers
were ordered TO act as station boats
10 miles apart to mark the course of
the flight. Early this morning they

AS McCurdy passed each boat at a

blown. The torpedo boats, as soon as
McCurdy came in sight, started ahead
