DEMANDS FOR RANS0X
NOT SERIOUSLY TAKEN
No New Clues Found in Search
for the Missing Dorothy
Arnold.

NEW YORK. January 2S.-Develop-
ments today in the search for Miss Doro-
thy Arnold. the missing heiress, included
the receipt of additional letters demanding
a ransom for the young Woman's return,
reported declaration by Deputy Police
Commissioner Flynn that he believed the
missing girl had not been harmed and
would return home in a few days, and the
announcement that Miss Arnold's brother,
who has been abroad on secret mission
since her disappearance, was on his way
back to New York
Both the police and the lawyers direct
ing the search scout the theory that Miss
Arnold is held for ransom John $.
Keith, of Mr. Arnold's legal advisers. as
serted his belief today that the letters
were written by blackmailers. If they
were taken seriously, he said, the search
ers would face the untenable theory that
Miss Arnold was held for ransom by four
different persons or more. Mr.. Keith was
disinclined also to credit the reputed the
ory of the police that Miss Arnold would
return home shortly. There were no
fresh clues in the case, he said, nor was
there anything upon which to base such a
theory, as far as he knew.
The trip of John Arnold, the missing
girls brother to Europe, which was made
soon after. Miss Arnold disappeared, had
nothing to do with the search, Mr.. Keith
had reported. The young man went
abroad in the interest of his father 5
business the lawyer said.

Boycott Against Vessels
Flying the American Flag

SALONIKI. Turkey, January S.-The
Saloniki boycott committee today declared
boycott against the steamers of the
Mail il-Packet-Archipelago line, and the
boatmen and lightermen attempted to
prevent the loading of the company's
staemer Olympia. The authorities acted
promptly and placed Kerim Agha, the die
tator of the boycott organization, under
arrest. The trouble started in mix-up
between the crew Of the New Jersey and
a detachment of Turkish soldiers which
the vessel was carrying from Beirut,
Syria to Mersina, Asia Minor. The New
Jersey flew the flag Of the United States
and so involved the American consul gen.
eral at Smyrna, e. L. Harris, and the
American consular agent at Alexandretta,
j. T. Peristiany, in the row. The owners
of the New Jersey and Olympia are also
described as an American company.
II the New jersey and Olympia sail UNI
der the Stars and Stripes no warrant for
so doing is found in the shipping registers.
There is no record of a New Jersey in
Turkish waters. The Olympia is little
craft of $50 tons gross. owned by Hadji
Daoud Farkouh (Paquebets Post-Archi-
pelago) at Smyrna. 1t is of Turkish
register.
