THINK KINDRED May
BE AT P~LATTSBURG
Police Now Believe Missing
Cashier Has Gone to
Training Camp.
DRUGS IN HIS ROOMS

While the police, in their search for
Edward G. Kindred, indicted on the
charge of stealing $4,000 last Wednes-
day from Booth * Finn. contractors. Of
II Battery place. have not lost sight
OF the possibility that the missing man
was the victim of foul play. their latest
theory based on the assumption that he
stole the money is that he may have
gone to the professional and business
mems military camp at Plattsburg.
This theory was strengthened by a
letter received from Saratoga by "A man
who said hat although he did not know
Kindred he was sure he had seen him
at the races last Saturday. Kindred's
hobby was shooting. at which he is an
expert with rifle and revolver. and the
police believe II liz possible that he may
have Joined the Plattsburg camp. ex-
pecting to devote the cuming fortnight
to his favorite sport. The Plattsburg
police have been notified of this theory
and pictures Of Kindred have been sent
to them.
Deputy Sheriff Leslie examined again
yesterday the belongings Kindred left be-
hind hin IN his apartment at $50 West
1880 street, and among other things
found seven empty bottles which Leslie
and the police say formerly contained
morphine. The theory that Kindred might
have been a drug user is strengthened
by statements of his office associates
that sometimes he was meek, almost
Bringing In manner, and hat at other
eimes he came down to the office like n
soaring lion offcious and self-import-
ant, and ordering his equals around as
II he owned the place.
Three shotguns and four rines were
also found. n $500 cartridges. All
the goods. which have been attached by
Booth & Finn, were sent to a storage
warehouse. 1t Is estimated thai they
Sre worth about $4,000. including an
automatic piano and tho two automo-
biles. No trace of the safe deposit box
Vas found.
The police received the following post
card yesterday, which Capt. Dewey be-
lieves was written by a friend of the
missing man:
Capt. Dewey: From all accounts OF
Kindred. many are strongly of the opin-
ion that the man met foul play. You
ought to conduct your investigation along
these lines. II you do you will learn
something
Capt. Dewey has already searched all
the hospitals and morgues in the vicinity
for a trace of Kindred, but without sue

PORT SURVEY ADVISED
AS VITAL TO NEW YORK
Prendcrgast Committee Tells
Board Of Estimate Import
ance of Work.

The need Of making provision for New
York's future m IL the city is to
hold that commerce Was set before the
Board of Estimate yesterday In a report
from the committee on port and terminal
facilities. of which Comptroller Prem
dergast is chairman.
A fortnight ago the Comptroller re-
viewed verbally at a meeting of the
board the project for a comprehensive
study of present harbor and railway
terminals for the purpose of suggesting
Improvement. He recommended that
the city employ an expert commission
consisting of John +. Stevens, former
chairman of the lsthmian Canal Com
mission Prof. George +. swain of the
Harvard graduate engineering school
and William c. Logee. former general
anage of the Baltimore and ohio
Southwestern Railroad. In the report
presented yesterday Mr., Prendergast's
committee says:
in our judgment the work of this
commission will be the most far reaching
Of its kind ever performed for the city
Of New York. New York city has 5IS
miles of waterfront. or this the city
owns 1877 miles, and but forty-seven
miles have been well developed. In the
year 1914 5i92 per cent. of all the inn
pOrts AMI 3h.Jh per cent, OF lne exports
OF the entire United States were handled
by the city OF New York.
TOO often people seem to think that
port facilities mean the mere shipment
and reception of water borne freight.
We feel it is time that the Government
n the people of the city fully appre-
ciate the fact hat all divisions of our
commercial and industrial life are inter-
dependent that shipping and railroads,
manufacturing, selling. housing and en-
ployment itself are all SO closely related
that the interests of all these divisions
must be considered as a Whole, Failure
TO do this means the carrying out of
public improvements according to ua-
related plans which difuse little general
benefit, and to "A great extent result In
waste.
various features of improvement OF
New York's Institutions are taken up
and one after another become matters of
interest and Improvement for the time
being, but certainly there is no field of
importance which offers such continuous
and material benefit to every interest in
the metropolitan district as the increased
efficiency of the city as "A working and
housing plant. The opportunity for an
economical betterment by improved
handling methods is enormous"
Messrs. Stevens. Loree and Swain
have estimated that the work may take
two years and cost sl25,0 900 "A year. The
port and terminal committee asks tina,
the undertaking be Immediately dp-
proved by the Board Of Estimate, at an
expense of not more than SIPS, 900 a
year. Approval may be granted to,
morrow.
