GRAND JURY sTUMPED
Foreman Goes Back to the Farm
With no Thoughts Of Being
Able to Accomplish
Much.

lGate City Leased Wire Service.]
DANVILLE, ILL.,, Feb. 4.-Unless
volunteer witnesses come forward and
give the grand jury information as to
the methods of politicians and the
names of the men who have bought
and sold votes in Danville and Yer
million county, the present election
probe will probably come to naught.
That was the non-partisan opinion
taken tonight after review Of the
work already done showed almost
nothing accomplished. No import
ant information was secured today
and when the grand jury adjourned
| until Monday, Foreman woodward vol
unteered the information that he was
willing to hear voluntary witnesses on
Monday and Tuesday. At the same
time he intimated that the success or
the failure o. the probe would prob
| ably depend upon what might be de-
veloped on these two days.
! The grand jury from the very start
Of the probe mas been hampered by
the law which limits the scope of its
investigation to is months, and by the
efforts of certain political cAiques
either to force the grand jury to use
the whitewash brush or to preven
the facts from coming to light.
Before going to his country home
tonight. Foreman woodward plainl.
intimated that against these force
the grand jury had not been able t
prevail thus far.
Whether indictments will be return
ed against vote buyers and sellers is
of course, conjectnral. but the popuia
belief is that unless the situation
shall change by monday, the prob
will fail to reach the alleged col
ruption.

NEW YORK, Feb. At was report
ed tonight that Dorothy Arnold, the
young heiress, who has been missing
since December 12, is safe and well
in the home of friends in one OF Phil
adelphia's suburbs. The family main
tanned it's air of reticence when ques-
toned about the report and Caravan
and Armstrong, the attorneys who
represent the family, insisted that 1t
was not true, but as both the family
and the attorneys have persisted in
giving out misleading statements, lit
I tie credence was given these denials.
/ The story most generally cred
/ tied was that Miss Arnold was at the
home of Mrs A. Clark Culver, who
| has town house at Park Avenue
here, and summer place near Phila-
delphia, Mrs Culver's daughter is en-
gagged to marry Hinckley Arnold,
younger brother of Dorothy, and her
favorite Hinck'ey has not been seen
around his home here for several days
4 and members of the family said today
he had suffered nervous breakdown
through worrying about his sister
4 Other persons who are close to the
/ family said that was not SO, but that
he had gone to stay with his sister
until she was ready to come back t6
New York. The girl is all right, Il
was said, but because of the notoriety
that had been given her absence, sh'
does not care to come back home.
Miss Culver left her home here to
day, and, accompanied by maid car
i.ying a suitcase, she boarded trail
: for Philad elphia. She is very friendl.
with Dorothy. and it was suggeste'
that she might have gone to be witt
her for time.
While insisting that it was his be
lief that his daughter was dead, Frar
els r. Arnold tonight asked the re
porters to drop the case. He refuse
to give any reason for this reques
which strengthened the theory c
those who believe the girl is a
