some girl. No signs of morbdness had
ever appeared in her. She had never In
her life been seriously i'll. The Arnold
family, unlike many others, had never
evinced in any branch OF It the slightest
tendency to mental alterations
There was nothing 20 show that Dorothy
Arnold had ever had longings for a
career" or for financial independence
She had travelled much In Europe, but had
no special liking for that pas,ime. she
seemed girl Of ordinary dsposi-
ton, characterized by nothing more re-
markable than spirit o. content with her
surroundings and her place in life. Her
friends we're In this respect like herself.
She had entertained two OF them at lunch
con at her home the day she disappeared
No motive being proven for her volun-
tary disappearance. it gradually came TO
be the belief Of her friends and acquain-
tances that the young woman had been
impressed into that sorry army OF 100000
women who disappear every year in the
United States. The large number OF these
unfortunates who are later found in lives
OF sin Is melancholy evidence OF the fate
which doubtless overtakcs thousands OF
others who are never heard of again.
ReCOlllnB AT SucH possibility, DOTOlHS
Arnold's father and mother prefer TO be-
lieve her dead To that belief they turn
for comfort.
But why does not Dorothy Arnold COM
muncate with her family If she is still
alive is a question that comes readily TO
every one that considers her mysterious
story. For the same reason. doubtless.
that little Susie Ferraro failed TO COM
municate with neis. Stanley w. Finch,
.he special commissioner appointed by
the United States TO inquire into white
slavery in this country, answers such
questions in his last report.
The jailors taunt their victims by telling
them that their families would never be-
lieve the story that they had unwillngly
entered white slavery. They tell them
their families would TURN them from their
doors. that instead OF hoping they will re-
turn, they pray that they are dead
Furthermore, even il they wished to
communicate with their families. they are
not allowed to do so. They may not ap-
peal TO the police because their masters
convince them that they are partners OF
the police and that if they attempted to
escape they would be- surely returned to-
their original captors.
Mr.. Finch declares the condition of the
women who are seized by these criminals,
as little Susie Ferraro Gas and as Dorothy
Arnold probably was, to be practically
hopeless.

VetOs by Experts of Finance Industry Crops and Commerce
Find Curious Parallel
With History of 1896
Wall Street Thinks 1913 Like Dizziness Which
Preceded Wonderful Expansion After SO.

NEW YORK July 19.-Members OF
the Stock Exchange who were on the
board in 1895 draw numerous paral-
lels between conditions at the present
time and in the former year. They
Hken various factors of finance, poll
tics and business of to-day with fac
tors in 1896, and find them much
alike.
Currency and banking were then in
a process of alteration, and they are
changing now. Political strife at
Washington was unseutling to trade
and industry, ana the same holds
true at this time. Cotton acreage
showed d large increase in May of
that year, when stocks reached their
lowest ebb, and the state of the grain
crops was excellent These COndi-
tions hold good to-day also. The
ease of money and the tightness of
credit in 1895 could be further paral-
leled with money and credit now, al
though the reasons therefor were by
10 means the same.
And after the dullness of 1896 came
a period of wonderful expansion.
In other directions, however, there
was much dissimilarity between
present and past financial and bust
ness elements which bore influence on
stocks. Many of the railroads in 1896
were just beginning to come out Of
receiverships. There was much doubt
that the Government would continue
to redeem its notes in gold. and there
had been a great outflow of the pre-
cious metal to Europe. The future
looked dark for men who made their
living buying and selling securities,
and the feeling of pessimism was fur
thered by a decline in the price of
Stock Exchange seats to $4,000.
Bayard DOminick. Jr., of Dominck
& Dominick, bought a seat in the
summer of 1895 for $4,000 He dis
cussed the situation as he found IT

this way:

LO0PHOLE FOR DISSOLUTION
By RoERsIANER.

There are infinite possibilities in

United States Steel Corporation by
the Canadian Government
The grant is apropos Of 100000
600 plant that the corporation means
20 build up there. But the charter
not the mill, is the thing. The Ii
cense to do almost any kind of bust
ness is perpetual
Under il, also. Mr. Gary and his
associates may control all sorts OF
Notwithstanding of course, the

course. the steel Corporation may
recontraCt for the Great Northern
ore Company-an amount of raw
material which 1t was difficult to be-
lieve Gary would relinquish.
The charter may be rendered sig
nificantly adaptable in other ways.
Should the Government win the
pending suit against the corporation
should the United States Supreme
Court order a dissolution-the com
pany might extinguish itself in the
United States and operate under the
foreign rights just accorded.
Il is an idea that should comfort
the corporations security holders,
especially the owners of the common
and preferred stocks. who might be
simply asked TO exchange the GER
tihcates Of the old corporation for
stocks in the Canadian concern-if
the worst befall in the court, or, in
deed in Congress; for the Canadian
tariff differs from the schedule OF
imposts proposed by the bill under
the Senate's consideration.
Manifestly Mr.. Gary and his coad
tutors have INDUCED in thought for
over a year Their cogitatlon has
ultimated in the Canadian PROPOSE
tion-which may be made protective
alike to the management and TO the
security holders.
Obviously, too, Gary is setting an
example to his brother corporation

that the lawmakers Of the United

MES out Of the country.
