YOUNG GRISCOM FLEES
FROM NEW YORK CITY
Goes to Atlantic City to Escape Embarrassing Ques
tons Regarding Miss Arnold.

New York, Feb O.-George S. Griscom,
jr, went to Atlantic City to-day because
his family and the ArnoIds concluded that
he would be fully as comfortable there as
here. Mr. Griscom departed without lug
gage because a deputy sheriff, empow-
cred by City Court Judge Delehanty. had
grabbed his valises to satisfy an old debt
to a haberdasher.
His sudden going prompted series of
questions to a representative of the Ar
mold family as to what possible signifi-
canoe Atlantic City might have in con-
nection with Dorothy Arnold's where
abouts. It was ascertaired that the
younger Griscom went to Atlantic City
to rid himself OF annoyances. The Ar
nolds have no information that would
lead them to believe that Miss Arnold has
been located.
The statement is made positively that
the family have no more reason to be-
Heve to-day LAT she is alive and in shell
ter than they had for such belief seven
weeks ago.
Apparently the interview with George
S. Griscom. jr., on board the steamship
Berlin last night has perplexed the Ar
nolds. They were entirely unaware that
Griscom hoped to see Miss Arnold
soon" They explained his ta1katlveness
by saying that any man in an embar-
RAISING position would speak as optimisti-
cally as possible
In answer TO direct questions a repre-
sentative Of the family said that so fai
as the Arnolds know. George S. Griscom
jr.. has no more notion as to where Doro-

ed, and has been continued ever
since-no doubt with great bene-
fit to this great corporation.
The advertising that has ap-
peared in the newspapers over
the name of the Standard Oil
Company has brought that COM
pany closer to the public than it
has ever been before.
But it is not as close vet as it
might be. The advertising thus
far printed has been purely conf
mercia1-but there is another
kind that it can do, and | hope
that it will do, and that is the kind
that will TELL THE PUBLIC
FRANKLY AND UNREr
SERVEDLY all about the COM
pany.
The public is fair; it is always
willing to accord a hearing; it is
capable of forming its own judg-
ment; 1T READS ADVER-
TISEMENTS as much as it
reads editorialSend news, and be-
lieves in them far more than in
press agents stories-and so, If
the Standard Oil Company will
advertise its HUMAN INTER-
EST side-and it has such side
and such a story to tell-it can
safely rest its case with the pub
lie.
There are many other corpora
tions-public service and other
wise-that can be placed right
before the public by ADVER-
TISING, and one Of the most
hopeful signs of the times is that
many are contemplating this
course.
PUBLIC ESTEEM is one of
the most valuable results that

1t is related of the late H. II.
ROGERS, who was a wonder
fully successful business man,
that he said to an advertising
man who approached him to dis
cuss an advertising plan for the
Standard Oil Company:
WHY SHOULD WE AD-
NERTISE? Are we not sue
cessful? Have we not builded a
great business here? Do you
know of any GREATER busi-
ness"
The advertising man answered
him:
''Yes; but do you know
what your company reminds
me of?
1T reminds me of a very
busy little army of ants, who
built their house in the public
road in a rut.
After little while a wag-
on comes along and knocks
their house down, but they
are a very industrious lot of
little ants, and get busy and
build their house up again.
1t is a well-managed army
never falters-very resource
ful-never discouraged.
Another wagon comes
along and does the same
thing over again, and the
busy ants again rebuild the
house, but always in the same
rut."
And this keeps on-time after
time.
It is not stated whether this
talk influenced the Standard Oil
Company to consider adyertis-
ign, but the fact is an ADVER-

Heard No One i'm Room.

Cumberland. Nd, Feb. 1o.-Indications
ere that the Twigg-Elosser case will be
reopened with renewed energy by the
authorities, because Of new evidence
coming to light States Attorney Robb
has been surprised by recent develop
ments, and he says he will leave nothing
undone to sift the tragedy.
DR.. Thomas W. Koon, police commits
sioner, and several newspaper men called
at the Elosser home tonight and inter-
viewed Mrs. Susan Crummett, who oc-
cupies two rooms on the second floor in
the rear of the Elosser home. Mrs
Crumnet is divorced. Her former hus-
band is a railroad man.
Heard No One fn Room.
She said that her rooms adjoin those
occupied by Grace, and it was IN Grace's
room that May said she had taken her
hath. During that afternoon Mrs. Crum-
NETT said she heard no movement IN
that room, nor did she hear any one run
downstairs. May ElosSer testified at the
inquest that she had run downstairs.
Mrs. Crummett went down the inner
stairway in order to get some water out
side of the house. Passing by the Elos-
ser front door, she said she noticed il
part way open This attracted her at
tention. and she looked IN. She saw the
form of a man at the right side OF the
settee. His head seemed inclined toward
the right. At the time she noticed this
she is quite positive there was no COM
motion and no sound whatever. She saw
no one else in the room.
Poison Theory Not Substantiated.
She passed on and got the water and
returned upstairs to her apartment. As
she reached her own door. she heard Mr.
EIosser exclaim in excited tones: What
in the world has happened?-
Almost Immediately after this she
heard the voice of n woman saying
MY God, this is terrible! Don't tel
anybody"
Then followed hystericaI screaming OF
the same voice.

crowd had congregated and speculation
was rife as to the number OF politicians
caught. The fact that the jury returned
to it's deliberations at such late hour
indicated that more indictments will be
returned before adjourning until Monday.
The grand jury investigation was the
outgrowth of murmurings Of election
frauds which began after the primaries
last September, and which increased in
volume after the November election. The
hints OF scandal became so persistent
and the indifference of politicians so
noticeable that Judge Kimbrough, In
