larger additional police and detectives
were ordered today to search for the
murderer. They admittedly have no
clues. The suspects who were arrested
as the result of stories told by Florence
Molz, child companion of the slain girl,
have all been released, as investigation
proved that the Molz girl did not tell
the truth.
The finding of undergarments that did
not belong to the Connors child with the
clothing that was torn from her body
has aroused In the police the fear that
there may have been another victim
who escaped and has been afraid since
to tell of her experience. They are
occurring the nelghborhood in an effort

preached by men recently.
Meanwhile, all mothers have been

RELATIVES FEAR
MISSING GROCER
NET FOUL PLAY
Man Who Disappeared Had
Considerable Sum of
Money With Him.

Efforts on the part OF the police to get
some clew to the whereabouts OF Max
H. Katz, a grocer, of 1900 D street
have failed. Relatives ofA the missing
man say he had considerable money
with him, and they fear he may have
been the victim OF foul play, but the
police do not share this theory. They
think he may have been taken sudden
ly Ill and was obliged to go to some re-
treat.
Katz disappeared under somewhat un-
usual circumstances, and 1t is not be-
lieved he had any intention Of going
away or had planned to leave the city.
He had been making purchases for his
store In the commission house district.
and had his wagon loaded with pro-
visions.
In a store in Pennsylvania avenue,
between Sixth and Seventh streets
northwest, he selected a quantity of
meat about o'clock yesterday morn
ing. He left the store, saying he was
going to the barber shop and would be
back in few minutes to get the meat.
By o'clock he had not returned, and
as his loaded wagon was still in front
of the wholesale place, one of the CLERKS
telephoned to Katz's grocery. Jacob
Katz, the young mans father, came for
the wagon and drove 1t home.
katz did not go to the barber shop
and the police have been unable to get
any trace of his whereabouts after he
left the meat dealer.
Neighbors of Katz say for the past
few days before his disappearance that
he seemed disheartened and down
hearted This gives rise to the theory
that in his brooding he possibly might
lave done himself bodily harm, but his
father vs. s''n of the opinion that he
was murdered.
