TAFT NOT ASSURED
OF 1872 BY LEAGUE
Senator Brown, One of Or
ganizers, Denies Letter Was
Written to President.

President Taft has not been assured
by any member Of the National Repub.
lican Progressive League that he will
be indorsed for denomination in 1872.
This is an answer to the statement that
correspondence between the President
and the league organizers gave Mr..
Taft the assurance that he has nothing
to fear from that organization so far
as the next Republican national con-
vention is concerned.
Senator Brown, of Nebraska, one Of
the organizers, and one of the Senators
supposed 10 have written the President,
today issued a statement.
No such letter ever was written"
said Senator Brown. Il have seen the
President frequently, and the subject
of anybody's candidacy in 1872 has never
been mentioned by either of us. I have
always been a friend Of the President,
and am now. I believe thoroughly in
his integrity and patriotism. The Pro-
gressive Republican League mas but
one purpose and that is stated in it's
constitution The purpose Is to pro-
mote certain legislation. Should the
league attempt in the slightest degree
to fight for or against any candidate
it would defeat the one purpose for
which it was organized. The league
treats with legislation, not with candi-
dates

SEEK MISS ARNOLD
ON FRIENDS CLUE
Saw Mysterious Couple on
Ferry Boat Bound for
Philadelphia.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-On the theory
that Miss Dorothy H. C. Arnold, daugh-
ter of Francis B. Arnold, millionaire,
who has been mysteriously missing
since early in December. may be in
Philadelphia, or its suburbs, private de-
tectives there started a search of the
hotels and boarding houses today.
Central office men, who have been
working on the case, have gone to the
Quaker City to aid in the Search which
is to be thorough.
Believes He Saw Miss Arnold.
The reason for this move is the story
told to the attorneys for Mr.. Arnold by
a man whose name is withheld, but be-
lieves he saw Miss Arnold and shah
billy dressed man on ferryboat yester-
day. Their conversation indicated that
they were en- route to Philadelphia.
The police are still inclined to believe
that the family has not been frank in
telling all that is known about the dis
appearance of the young woman. Re-
ports that she had had a quarrel with
her mother, and that her relations at
home were not the most pleasant have
been persistently circulated among
friends of the Arnold family. These
storiess however, are denied by attor-
neys engaged by the family to prose-
cute the search for the missing girl.
Wanted to Make a Career.
Francis B. Arnold, the aged father Of
the missing girl. is deeply affected by
her disappearance. He admitted today
that she had on several occasions ex-
pressed a desire to make a career for
herself. She tried story writing, but her
manuscripts were rejected. She took
small parts occasionally in private the
atricals, although her father does not
believe that she was in any way stage
struck. She was not musically inclined
and could not sing.
In her effects was found a bunch of
letters written her by a young American
now abroad and which indicated there
was an attachment between them.
Knows Nothing of Girl.
The man in question, however has ca
bled that he does not know anything
about the whereabouts of the missing
young woman. and has made 1t plain
their relations were not very intimate.
Wireless messages to outward-b bound
steamers say that no one answering
Miss Arnold's description is on any of
them, and ii is conceded by the police
that If the Philadelphia clue proves
worthless they will be absolutely in the
dark again.

Ballinger Declares
Enemies Don't Count

? BOSTON, Mass, Jan. I.-In the
opinion of Secretary of the Interior
Richard A. Ballinger, many of the

At a speech delivered at an alumni
banquet of Williams College last night,
he said that his enemies did not matter,
and he did not intend to show his scars
of battle by relating his experiences.

The Sign of
Good Times

There are very few vacant stores or
residences on the Comstock at the
present time, many men employed in
the mines finding it impossible to
bring their families here on account
OF the lack of houses. The biggesi
mistake property holders made here
several years ago, was when houses
were torn down by the score and
moved to Reno when the boom first
started there. Virginia is not having
a boom on sensational lines, but a
steady, gradual growth in keeping
with the improving conditions in the
mines.-ChrOnicle
