that the strongest clew OF the missing

celved from the San Francisco office of
the agency. Mr.. Willsie said that aa

the arrest OF Joseph, but admitted that
such Information was expected at any

What / termed "a nibble'' a few

Joseph was word we had received
from the San Francisco office Of the
agency. There are all told twenty
seven offices and all are on the look
out for Joseph. The San Francisco
branch would be the one naturally to
keep in touch with the outgoing boats
from that port and would have charge
of arrests OF people taken from those
boats. II an arrest were made the
