CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Though the po-
lice were today inclined to accept
John Grady's story of the disappear
ance of his wife, former Cincinnati,
Ohio actress. and his step daughter, a
search of the cellar at the Grady
home continued. Detectives were sent
out also to hunt for Edward Cripp, a
nephew of the missing woman, and
for an unidentified scrub woman who
according to neighbors, cleaned the
house shortly after Mrs. Grady dis
appeared.
The finding of nine steel corset
stays in the ashes Of the furnace at
the Grady home was disregarded by
the police today. They were of the
opinion that the stays were planted
in the ashes for the purpose Of fur
nishing a newspaper scoop.
Grady was still being held today and
| 1t was expected that he would be re
leased within twenty-four hours. He
repeated his statement that his wife
left home while he was away one day
and that he had heard nothing Of hel
nor Of her daughter Grace, since they
disappeared.

house died here today. Pneumonia

ator Johnston leaves the democrats
in the senate a margin of but one

The president still insisted today that
intervention has never been consider

there was a growing feeling here to-

able to carry out his program.
Huera will very probably force his

quotes Huerta as saying that the
limit Of patience has been reached so

and that he has decided to resist with
