Creek Who Claims to Have Been

Rafael Lopez, Mexican bandit, and

an investigation.
Nevertheless Smith believes Lopez

bulkheads have been restored to the
tunnels and the sheriff Is now dis
cussing the advisability Of renewing
the process of filing the mine with
carbonic acid gas and other poisonous
gases.
1t is doubtful If this is done, how
ever, but he probably will maintain a
close guard on the tunnels until all
doubt that Lopez is dead or has
escaped is removed During the night
many rumors were afloat that Lopez
had escaped from the mine and was

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Again the
vanishing from the streets of New
York in broad daylight of young
woman of culture and refinement has
set the police to beating the brush
of the great city's criminal jungle.
The latest mystery, occurring almost
to the day on the third anniversary
OF Dorothy Arnold's unsolved disap-
pearance, has again focused the In
terests OF the country on New York,
the port of missing women.

city is being fairly combed for clews.
Again the thinking women of this
man-rulsd city are facing the problem
of marking dangerous shoals Of Man
hattan-shoals which take heavier
toll Of women and girl life in years
time than the country's entire Attain
tic seaboard Inquiry at police head
quarters today revealed that the num-
ber Of women and girls officially re-
ported missing" in New York during
! 1913 will be we'll above the thousand
mark While the police refuse to
make known the exact number in adj
vance of official publication of their
annual report, 1t was learned that
the years figures will be high above
those of both 1911 and 1912 when the
total number OF missing reported was
1 l,091 and 1880 respectively. In 1911
4 S94 Of those were subsequently locat-
ed or accounted for. while 1877 left
absolutely no trace. Through police

be even more appalling.
That the toll OF oblivion always
/ greatly exceeds the official figures is
4 frankly admitted by authorities.
Scores of cases are never reported to
the police Other scores have to do

their home cities, drift to New York
and disappear in the nav of the
metropolis.
Miss Belle De Drummer of the New
York Probation Association, one OF
the women most experienced in wom'
ans rescue work, in commenting on
the Jessie Mccain case today said:
while our experience shows that
most of the girls who disappear are
victims of the world-organized profe p
sion, incidents like the present one
are the real problems. We know that
it is literally true that good pure
women are actually decoyed into traps
or taken away by force. But it has
not yet Been possible to create the
: public interest necessary for prohibf
? tive measures.
And of those girls who go wrong

J justment, not merely in police meas
