vlGlLANT SEARCH FOR GIRL
International Search In Quest c
Dorothy Arnold.

New York, Feb S.-The interna
tional search for Dorothy Arnold wa:
in full swing Wednesday.
Working the theory that his daugh
ter eloped on the steamship Cincin
natl OF the Hamburg American line
and arrived at Genoa on January II
last, Francis r. Arnold, her father
today cabled to the authorities of ev
cry large city in italy to aid him in
the search for his daughter
Included in the messages was a re
quest that the passports of every Am
erican who disembarked from the
vessel be held up and examined par.
ticularly those issued to a young wo-
man passenger calling herself "Bes.
sic Jones'" This means that more
than 200 passports will be traced.
Pictures of Miss Arnold are said by
the chief steward and a woman stew
ard on the Cincinnati to closely re-
semble Miss Jones.
The officials of the Hamburg-Amer-
lean line have also joined hands with
the father in the search and today
cabled orders to representatives Of
the line at Genoa and Naples to do
their best in trying the passengers Of
this steamer. The search viii be ex-
tended to Switzerland, France and
Germany If she is not found in Italy.
W. II. Handley, United States con-
sui general at Naples, today cabled a
reply TO Mr. Arnold's request for aid,
giving assurance that everything in
his power will be done in tracing
the missing girl.
A dispatch from Naples today says
that a young woman closely resem-
bling Miss Arnold arrived in that city
from Genoa after disembarking from
the Cincinnati. She was accompanied
by a young man and young woman.
T. was first believed that Miss Minna
Brunn, a girl passenger on the ship,
might be the missing girl, but Mr..
Brunn. the young woman's father, who
Is a rich banker in the south, wired
Mr.. Arnold today saying that Miss
Brunn was his daughter.
The mysterious young woman who
went to Naples stayed there for two
days and then left. II is believed for
Florence, where George Grisom. Jr.,
OF Pittsburg was staying, is Miss Ar
mold.

CONFEDERATE PENSION BILL.

The report of the Tennessee Con
federate pension board for last year
is interesting as showing how rap
idly the Confederate soldiers are
passing away. On October 13, 1903.
there were on ;he pension rolls the
names of 5,OSS soldiers and 1885
widows OF soldiers, total of 1913
names. Last year $50 names Of
soldiers were added and 439 names
of widows, or total OF 1924 names.
The vacancies caused by death have
been rapid, and the total number of
names on the pension roll now is
only 1853.
The expenses per pensioner for
administering the office Is 1924. The
board of pension examiners are care
fnl in investigating the records OF
soldiers, but at the same time they
manifest a spirit of deserved liber
ality toward the veterans.
The Confederate records are nee
essarily incomplete. At the close oI
the war many soldiers were home
on furoughs and could not get
back to their commanders. When
Hood went out of Nashville, many
soldiers were physically unfit for
duty. They had gone home to get
clothing and shoes with the con,
sent OF their officers Some of them
could never get back TO the Con
federate lines. On proof of honest
intention TO continue until the war
was over. these pensioners among
men thus situated are placed upon
the rolls. The pension commission
ers nave kept out of politics. and
for that they deserve the sincere
thanks Of the people of Tennessee.

a SHADOW DECIDES.


Even a shadow can determine the
fate of a man in court. When one
stops TO think, it seems absurd to
regard an intangible, disappearing
reelection like a shadow as wit
ness worthy OF belief
1t was A shadow in Omaha court
which resulted in The acquittal OF a
man held on a charge, which was
grave, and upon evidence which
seemed to be conclusive.
1t was the bright mind of a young
attorney, with truly detective in
stincts, which brought about an &C
quittal.
This was probably the strangest
witness ever introduced in criminal
or civil trial held in this country.
1t will probably be the only time
a shadow will be called upon to
testify in behalf of defendant.
In the Omaha case a man was
placed on trial. charged with plac-
ing a travelling bag, filled with dy-
Mantle, on "A dwelling house porch,
between the hours of and 3, on a
certain Sunday afternoon. The bag
was really an Internal machine and
the guilty party who placed it there
contemplated the destruction of the
house and its inmates.
The evidence was all circumstan-
tial except in one instance. The
state introduced, as a witness, a girl
of sixteen years, who testified that
she was certain that she saw the
defendant carrying the satchel short
ly before three o'clock, walking in
the direction OF the house Her
testimony was emphatic. She was
positive that she could not be mis-
taken in the man or the time. She
added that she had attended church
mile away. after she had seen the
defendant. The minister OF the church
testified that after the services were
concluded, the girl. with others, haC

CATTLE RAISING IN OKLAHOMA

a beginning in that state the soil of
which nearly everywhere lends itself
to quick fattening and which still

of the state and the quality of the
animals raised viii show improve

from the farms instead of the great
ranches.
No one who is at all famila-
with Oklahoma can doubt that this
state is in fact in the initial stage
in the breeding of cattle. Both soil
and climatic conditions are favorable
and the advent OF large packing
plants has supplied the incentive
of a near market. 1t may be conf
