Returns from Italy Only to Deny that Girl Will
Marry Young GrScom.

New York, Feb. 12-Mrs. Francis R
Arnold, mother of missing Dorothy Ar
mold, arrived to-day from Naples by the
Cunarder Pannonia, declaring that she
did not know whether her daughter
was alive or dead. and that she was ut
terly opposed to George S. Griscom, jr.,
as a son-in-law. She was greeted at
Quarantine by her son, John w. Arnold,
and her husband, and her son Hinkley
met her at the pief. The reunited family
in the conference held later expressed
themselves as much In the dark as ever
about the disappearance OF the young
woman. The little that the mother said
merely accentuated the mystery.
John W. Arnold went down the bay
aboard the revenue-cutter Hudson to take
charge of his mother. The family had
sent several wireless messages to her.

Mrs. Arnold had appeared to be in good
spirits on the voyage until she received
wireless messages on Saturday morning
she went to her room after reading them
and the ships surgeon, DR.. r. L. Patter-
son, attended her.
A delegate from the reporters was taken
to the stateroom of Mrs. Arnold by her
son after it had been agreed that only
two questions should be asked The first
was: Have you received definite infor-
nation Of the disappearance of your
daughter that assures you that she is
alfve?"
Mrs Arnold answered: None; I have
received no word from my daughter
which tells me whether she is dead or
alive"
The second question was: Have you
consented to theN marriage of Miss Ar
mold to Mr.. Griscom, jr. ?"
Mrs. Arnold's hands moved in her muff

sketch of the prophets and statesmen of
earlier ages, he lead up to the present

was the worst abused man who ever Oc-

the only explanation which had satisfied
him as to Lincoln's wonderful patience
and ultimate success as leader was his
implicit trust in the Bible, in God, and
in prayer. He said, in part:
