PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 2S.-
The funeral of Joseph Fels, world
leader OF the single tax movement,
philanthropist and millionaire soap
manufacturer, who died yesterday,
probably will be held tomorrow. Fels
was one Of the earliest followers OF
Henry Georges taxation plans and
other means for the more equal dis
tribution OF wealth. His plans for
land valuation changes were largely
embodied in Lloyd Georges famous
budget. He was among the first
Americans to inaugurate the profit
sharing system, distributing $4,000
among his employees in 1910. AS an
instance Of his opposition to personal
property he once attributed his own
success to economies of soap making,
bread making and human expioita'
ton"

Most Hopeful Clue Since
the Hunt
| Began.
BORE NO RESEMBLANCE

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
SPRINGDALE, Ark, Feb. 2S.-Dr.
w. A. Winters arrived here today and
snid that the girl known as Lucy
Stuart taken into custody as his miss
ing daughter, Catherine Winters, was
not the missing child. DR.. Winters
left New Castle, Ind, from where his
daughter was kidnapped Saturday night
and arrived here early today. He
was taken at once to the child by a
representative of the Newspaper En-
terprise Association, whose clients
have engineered the search. He said
that the girl found bore only trifling
resemblance to his daughter. He eX-
pressed great disappointment at the
disappointing end of his mission.
Disappointed, but still hopeful that
his little girl will be found. DR.. Win
ters prepared today to return to the
north
"The nationwide search will sue
ceed If Catherine is alive, he said.
This is only one more disappoint-
ment. / want to thank the American
nation for the interest it is taking in
i the case
| For all his hopeful statements, Win
ters was greatly cast down by this
latest disappointment. There was
nothing of resemblance between the
little waif OF the hills and his missing
daughter. Owing to the excitement
1 which has prevailed since the starting
of the report that Catherine had been
found here Winters met the girl in
the drawing room of his Pullman. She
was a pitiable object Her hair was
filled with vermin, her boys overalls
ragged and her condition SO neglected
that it has thoroughly aroMsed the in
4 dignation of simple people of the Ar.
kansas hills. Following her interview
with Winters the little girl was taken
back to Huntsville where She will be
taken sway from Stuart and given to
some more responsible person to rear
4 There is little doubt but that she is
Stuart's daughter
This was the best and strongest
clue that has come out Of the great
4 search and was confident that it was
she," said DR.. Winters as he started
back northward today. But this little
girl does not resemble Catherine in
any particular. She is smaller and
oh is different in every way"
George Stuart when seen in the
county jail at Huntsville today still in
sisted that the child's mother married
him before she married Winters ant
; that the child was borne to the frs,
union. He declared that the authori
ties had no right to take her from
him. He continued to assert that hi
wife died in a Little Rock hospital
explaining that during her illness tn,
Fchild was cared for in an orphanage
Lucy. as the child is called declared
papa didn't steal me. The man who
taxed me. rode in an automobile to
: red wagon.
