day that John ". Arnold. brother Of
the missing girl. would return to Phil
adelphia tonight or tomorrow. 1t is
known that Captain Souder, OF the city
detective bureau, expected him to re-
turn soon.
If young Mr.. Arnold has not already
determined where his sister is in Phil
adelphia, or In its immediate vicinity,
his hope Of doing so at an early date 1t
is confidently believed in well Informed
circles here, is based on certain infor-

was Miss Dorothy Arnold. The clew was
Investigated by Detective Doyle to-day
The manager OF the hotel. after learning
more particulars concerning the missing

vinced that he had been in error
Newspaper reporters who daily cover
the city Hall say that the custom Of
Captaln A. X. Souder. head OF the Phila-
delphia detective bureau, is generally to
mislead them when they go to him for
information in any case important
enough to attract attention. In the Ar
mold case Captain Souder maintained
secrecy as long as he could, and then
said he would deny anything that might
be published I'm which his office was men
toned.
The only reporters Captain Souder
likes are those who accept his expressed
view that he has no clew 10 work on, In
