New York, July 24-E. Kelley Snod-
gras, brother of Miss Dorcas Snod-
grass, the Martinsburg girl who dis
appeared from the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. John l.. Order. at Mt Yer
non a week ago today, is in New
York and has offered a reward of
$4,000 for any information of the
whereabouts of his missing sister.
Mr., Snodgrass, who lives in Clarke
county, Va, where he has large
farm, near Berryyille and is reputed
as wealthy, declares that his sister
Dorcas has been kidnapped and IS
being held for ransom.
Mr.. Snodgrass came here from Vir-
ginia last night and with his brother
Jock who is also here from Mar
tinsburg, where he is a civil engineer
with a construction company doing
work for the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road at Cumbo, is using every effort
to locate the missing sister.
Kidnapped Says Kelley
When asked this morning about the
disappearance of his sister he said;
"My scster never left home of her
own accord" Mr.. Snodgrass said:
~ have talked with my sister, Mrs.
Crider, and am conf;oent that she is
being held captive by persons who ex-
pect a ransom. | am willing to spend
every cent have to get her back and
will pay $4,000 for any information
leading to her recovery. am also
ready and willing to make terms With
her kdnappers."
Kelley and Will Snodgrass, broth
ers of the missing Dorcas, take no
stock in the theory of the police that
their sister has gone with Norman
Smith, the young house surgeon who
sailed for Europe on Thursday. There
is nothing that has been found to con
meet the disappearance of the girl
with the sailing of the young doctor,
as he had planned moths ago to
leave for his home.
The story of Miss Cummins, the
maid of Mrs. Gibson, of Mt. Vernon,
who is positive that she saw the miss
ing girl on Monday afternoon, is being
followed up by the detectives and
there is hope that this clue may lead
to something which will result in To-
eating her
No Hope Through DR.. Smith
Mrs. Crider has little hope of hear
ing from her sister through DR..
Smith Anything, however" she
said. would be better than losing her
as Dorothy Arnold was lost. OF course
it is possible she provided means to
communicate with me after she Went
away and that a letter or a telegram
miscarried, but l fear not. have re-
ceived word from our relations in Mar
tinsburg They are half crazy for
want of information.
Fears OF Her Sister
Il fear two things. One is that she
recently complained Of being a little
run down because of the hot wealth
err, and her condition may have been
worse than We thought She may
have been overcome and is now some
where and helpless. Or it may b.
that she is the victim of some kidnap
ping scheme"
In regard to her sisters engage
ment to Mr.. Schmidt, Mrs. Order said
1T is true that they We're engaged SC
far as know. She wore his ring. The
engagement caused her a great deal
of unhappiness."

THE THEATERS
Three Good Acts at Bijou.

Vaudeville had full sway again at
the Bijou last night. The aerial gym
.nasts, Schoene, Trip and Schoene,
changed their act entirely and made
a big hit with their self-styled and
'original "trampaline' act, in which the
lady member of the trio was hurled
from one end of the stage and was
caught at the other end by her part
ner suspended by his legs and then
hurled back to the other member Of
the company. The act closed with a
seesaw stunt, very clever as well as
difficult feat.
MCGEE and Reece gave exhibitions
of buck and wing as we'll as foot tap
ping TO the accompaniment of catchy
music. Miss Reece featured her toe
dance in which she leaped over three
hurdles, each one higher than the
previous, with apparent ease and com
fort. This act IS much more difficult
than it would appear and was very
cleverly executed by Miss Reece.
The monkey act under the guidance
of Miss Anita Dias was practically the
same as on the opening night, but
