Effect Of Resolution.

While the Ssson resolution contains
a provision intended to hold up further
activities OF the commission until the pro-
posed inquiry is concluded this can be
nothing more than a suggestion. as SIM
pie resolution, such as that introduced by
Mr. Sisson, to be acted upon by one body,
cannot change the terms of legislation
in an appropriation bill which has been
passed by both houses and been signed
by the President. 1t is quite probable,
however. that it will have the effect in
tended. for 1T is hardly conceivable that
the Vice President, the former Speaker,
and Supt. Woods would care to spend any
of the million dollars now at their dis
posal, with the Sisson resolution hanging
fire.
1t is hardly probable that any action
on the Sisson resolution will be had for
two weeks. Neither the House nor any
of its committees will do any business
next week. and the same may be true
the week after. Then it is proba BILE that
the committee on rules. to which the
resolution was referred. will give Mr. Sis
son a hearing and ask him to elaborate
somewhat the intimations Of impropriety
or worse, which he has made.

ARNOLD SEARCH COST $4,000
Detectives, Police and Reporters Stlll
Seeking New York Girl Missing
Since December.

New York-Since the disappear
ance of Charley Ross no case Of a
missing person has had so much atten-
ton as that of Dorothy Arnold Of this
city. And in the history of no miss
ing person was ever so great an eff
.ort made in all directions to discover
what her fate has been; nor was
money ever in any similar case so Law
SHY spent, The search that so far
mas been futile has cost $4,000 if
it cost a penny. 1t is still going on,
and money is still being laYishly ex-
pended and although as yet there is
no definite prospect that the hunt will
prove other than futile
When Dorothy Arnold left her home
In New York she left no word to
explain her disappearance and no clew
to her whereabouts Her photographs
were published broadcast and police,
detectives and newspaper reporters all
over the world sought the missing girl
Not one word has been heard nor any
cIew obtained since she left her home
though thousands Of dollars have been
spent in the search and are still be-
ing expended.
The search is proving the most ex-
pensiEe on record, save perhaps those

far north and the Stanley expedition in

HOME OF A SIGNER
Old Taylor House viii Be Made
a Museum.
One of the Two Remaining Abodes Of
Those Who Put Their Names
to the Declaration of
independence.

Easton, Pa--One by one the nation
has permitted the homes OF the sign
ers Of the Declaration OF Independ-
ence to be sold into uncaring hands,
or altered or torn down Today, it Is
said there remain ONLY two OF these
homes as they appeared In 1776. These
are the former home Of George Taylor
in this place, and Charles CarroIlton
OF Baltimore. The CarroIlton man
sion. rich as it is In memories, has
been a tenement house, inhabited
principally by foreigners The lower
floor Of the Taylor house was last
used as a butcher shop.
1t is quite probable that there is
more interest attached to this Taylor
house than to the home Of any other
signer Of the famoSs document. 1t is
for this reason that the Easton chap
ter Of the Daughters OF the American
Revolution are making such efforts to
preserve this once famous building.
This society has purchased the home
and viii convert 1t into museum As
nucleus for the proposed collection,
they already have some relics Of Tay-
lOr and Revolutionary days These
consist principally of suits of clothes,
the sword, books and the inkstand
used by the signer, as well as a num-
beT Of shot cast at Taylor's furnace at
Durham
This house was built in 1857 as g
home for William Parsons, the found
er Of the city of Easton. Shortly be
fore Parsons died, George Taylor
came to America with a man named
Savage, who established a furnace at
Durham, near Easton. Savage paid
for Taylor's passage to America, and
the latter then worked seven years
for Savage, to reimburse him. Then
Savage died, and Taylor married his
widow, and came into possession OF
the furnace. Taylor now found him.

the state ball, which was held that
night Until four days ago she was
guest at the Italian embassy, but
now, as you know, is a guest at the
Venezuelan legation. Since her ar
rival here she has been prominently
pushed forward into society; she has
gone everywhere, and been received
everywhere in the diplomatic set. We
have no knowledge of her beyond
this"
There was a question IN Mr. Grimm's
listless eyes as they met those of the
chief. The same line Of thought was
running in both their minds, born, per-
haps, Of the association Of ideas-Italy
as one of the three great nations
known to be in the Latin compact;
Prince Benedetto d'Abruzzi of Italy,
the secret envoy of three countries /;
the sudden appearance of Miss
Thorne at the Italian embassy. And
in the mind Of the younger man there
was more than this-a definite knowI-
edge Of q message cunningly trans
mitted 20 Mr.. Rankin of the German
embassy, by Miss Thorne there in the
ballroom.

would be OF more value TO the Latin

liant woman agent?

consequences, would you?"

Mr. Grimm sat with his elbows on
his knees, idly twisting a seal ring on
his little finger The searching eyes
Of the ambassador found his face
blankly fnscrutibIe.
Diplomatic representatives in
Washington have certain obligations
to this government" the young man
reminded him ''We-that is. the gov

SECRET OF PASTORS SUCCESS
Writer Is OF Opinion That Proper Man
ner Has Much to Do With
the Matter.

The reason why a good many min
listers Of fair ability are out of job
is because they do not want TO visit,
because they are looking for a church
that will ut their own notions rather
than trying to fit themselves to the
needs Of q church It is true that a
good many men do not know how to
call. they do not know how to behave
when they get into a house, they do
not Ike it and viii shirk II every
chance they get Yet calling is the
secret Of success In almost every par
ish today-not the same kind Of call
ing in all places, but some kind In
every pIace-and If our seminaries
had wisdom they would fit their stu
dents to do their work in the best
way. in the only way In which 1t can
be done In the country at least Give
one year to sermon-making and three
years TO making gentlemen In the
truest sense Of that word Thus send
out men who can adapt themselves to
the needs Of the place where they are
called, and can thus serve human
souls, who, being as they are, want
to be better. The problem of the
country church is to be solved by the
pastor rather than the preacher

guileless blue eyes were vacant as he
stared at the top of his desk Mr.
Grimm was talking
From the moment Miss Thorne
turned the corner 1 lost all trace Of
her" he said. Either she had an au-
tomobile in waiting, or else she was
lucky enough to find one Immediately
she came out She did not return to
the embassy ball last night-that
much is certain" He paused refec-
lively. She is guest Of Senorita
Inez Rodriguez at the Venezuelan le-
cation" he added
Yes, know" his chief nodded.
81 didn't attempt to see her there
last night for two reasons" Mr.
Grimm continued. First, she can
have no possible knowledge of the
fact that she is suspected, unless per-
door" He paused. Anyway, she
will not attempt to leave Washington;
am confident of that. Again, it didn't
seem wise to me to employ the ordi-
nary crude police methods in the case
that is, go to the Venezuelan lega-
ton and pick up a row."
For a long time Campbell was ST.
lent; the perplexed lines still furrowed
bis benevolent forehead.
THE president is very anxious that
we get to facts in this reported Latin
alliance as soon as possible" he said
at last, irrelevantly. He mentioned
the matter last night, and he has
been keeping in constant communica-
ton with Gault in Lisbon who, how
ever, has not been able to add ma
terially to the original dispatch. I'm
der all the circumstances, don't you
think It would be best for me to re-
lieve you Of the investigation of this
shooting affair so that you can con-

viii Senior Alvarez die?" asked Mr..
Grimm in turn.
His condition is serious, although
the wound is not necessarily fatal,
was the reply.
Mr.. Grimm arose, stretched his long
legs and stood for little while gazing
out the window. Finally he turned 10
his chief:
What do we know, here in the bu-
reau. about Miss Thorne?"
This far the reports on her are OF
| the usual perfunctory nature" Mr..
Campbell explained. He drew card
from a pigeonhoIe of his desk and
glanced at it. ''She arrived in Wash
ington two weeks and two days ago
from New York, off the Lusitania,
from Liverpool. She brought some
sort of introduction to Count di Ros-

chiefs unhesitating response.
In that case I don't think 1t would
be wise to transfer the investigation
Of the shooting affair to another man,
said Mr. Grimm emphatically, revert
ing to his chiefs question. 'T think
on the contrary, we should find out
more about Miss Thorne.'
Precisely" Campbell agreed.
ASK all the great capitals about her
Madrid, Paris and Rome, particular
"; then, perhaps. London and Berlin
and St Petersburg"
Mr.. Campbell thoughtfuIly Scrubbed
the names of the cities on a slip Of
paper.
DO you intend to arrest Miss

frankly 'T don't know" he repeated,
musingly. IF I do arrest her imme-
diately I may cut OF a clue which
will lead to the other affair. I don't
know" he concluded.
Use your own judgment, and bear
in mind that a mana man slammed
the door in the maids face"
answered. Now I'm going over to
talk to Count di Rosini for while"
The young man went out, thought
fully tugging at his gloves. The Ital-
ian ambassador received him with an
inquiring uplift of his dark brows.
'I came to make some inquiries in
regard to Miss ThOrne-Miss Isabel
Thorne," Mr.. Grimm informed him
frankly.
The count was surprised, but it
didn't appear in his face.
LAS I understand it, the young man
pursued, you are sponsor for her in
Washington"

considered the question from every
standpoint
ct may be that 1 am SO regarded
he admitted at last
May I inquire if the sponsorship is
official, personal, social, or all three?"
Mr. Grimm continued.
There was silence for long time.
81 don't see the trend of your ques'
tioning." said the ambassador finally.
Miss Thorne is worthy of my protec-
ton in every way"
Let's suppose a case" suggested
Mr.. Grimm blandly. Suppose Miss
Thorne had-had, let US say, shot a
man, and he was about to die, would
you feel justified in Withdrawing that
that protection, as you call tt?''
such a thing is preposterous!" ex-
claimed the ambassador. THE utter
absurdity of such a charge would i'm
pei me to offer her every assistance
Mr. Grimm nodded.
And If it were proved to your sat
isfaction that she did shoot him?" he
went on evenly.
The counts lips were drawn togeth
er in a straight line.
Whom, may I ask" he inquired
frigidly, ARE we supposing that Miss
Thorne shot?"
No one. particularly Mr.. Grimm
assured him easily. Just suppose
that she had shot anybody-me, say
or Senior Alvarez?"
81 can't answer a question so ridic-
uIous as that
And suppose we go a little fur
ther," Mr.. Grimm insisted, pleasantly
