POLICE BAFFLED
In BARTH MYSTERY
Efforts to Locate Missing Boy
Prove in Vain-Mother Fears
He's Kidnapped

The police and the parents of Harry
Barth, Jr., the 15-year-old boy who
mysteriously disappeared from his home,
4365 Leidy avenue, although making every
effort to locate him, said today that his
disappearance still remains a mystery.
Mrs Barth, who is nearly overcome
with grief over the failure of the boy to
return home, fears that the lad may be
in the hands of hdnappers. She is unable
to understand, however, why any one
could be OBTAINING the boy against his
will
Harry is a frail boy" said Mrs Barth.
land l know he is unable to do hard
work He was always delicate as a.
child and hard to raise for that reason. L
cannot understand 1t. My heart goes out
to Harry for perhaps he Is In want"
The only clues received by the police
and the boys parents were several mys-
terious telephone calls, by a person pur-
porting to be the boy. These the police
have attempted to trace without results.
Special policemen of the 39th street and
Lancaster avenue police station, who
have been investigating the case, said
today they were at loss to understand
the disappearance.

FIERCE CHASE IN TAXI
TOSEIZE STOLEN AUTO
Waiter Sees Car Taken - Con
Joins in Break-neck Ride.
And Then

A story of the startling denouenlent
of an lS-mile chase through the night
after a stolen automobile was related to-
day by Roy Claypoole of Gladwyn. Del
aware County, to Magistrate Harris, in
the 32d street and Woodland avenue
police station.
Claypoole motored into the city from
his home and stopped at a restaurant on
Goth street near Ludlow. Later a waiter
called that his machine was disappear
ing out Market street with two men in
1t. Claypoole ran to the door and caught
a glimpse of fleeing tail-lights. Rushing
to the nearest taxi stand, he leaped into
a machine, called to policeman, who
jumped aboard and the chase was on.
Out Market street to the green coun-
try and along well-kept Main. Line roads
the pursued machine fed like the wind
Followed the taxi with Claypoole and
the "cop." Little by little the taxi cut
down the distance between the two ma
chimes until, at last. Just beyond Media,
il drew alongside the pursued motorcar,
and the policeman with drawn revolver
ordered the driver to halt. Claypooe
jumped from the taxi, gave a glance at
the machine and threw up his hands. II
was not his car.
At about this time a machine drew up
to the corner of Goth and Market streets.
AS the two passengers prepared to desert
the machine they were arrested. Today
they admitted that they had borrowed
the car for a joy ride. They are Frank
Boyd, of 32O4 Locust street, and Wilfred
Loughery, of 6lO2 Spruce street Magls-
trate Harris held them each in $500 bail
for a further hearing.

INDEPENDENTS PLAN
FIGHT FOR REAL MAN
FOR MAYORS CHAIR
Citizens Meet With Blankenburg
and Prepare for Cam
paign-Silent Until Or
ganization Decides
WEEK FOR NOMINATIONS

Independent leaders and workers today
are making every preparation to throw
themselves into a vigorous fight to elect
man OF high calibre and established ex-
ecutive ability to succeed Mayor Blank
enburg, as soon as the Independents pol
icy of "watchful waiting" determined
upon last night at a conference held at
the Mayors summer home In the Po-
conos, is ended with the solution of the
Organization Mayoralty puzzle.
plan OF action to meet every possible
contingency was outlined at last nights
conference which was attended by a
dozen of the leading independents of
Philadelphia. Among them were Director
OF Public Safety George ID. Porter and
leaders In the Public Service Committee
of One Hundred.
The Independents will mark time until
the Organization bosses have made public
their situation in the mayoralty contest
This was made clear at the meeting last
night. just one week from today.
August 81 is the last day for filing nomi-
nation papers and the Independents ex-
pect that by that time the Organization
bosses will have found their way out of
the mayoralty maze. Until the name of
the Organization candidate becomes def
nitely known and until II Is known
whether or not there viii be factional
fight within the Organization, the inde-
pendents will content themselves with
completing preparations to battle against
the election of contractor-controlled
Mayor and Councils.
None of the participants in last nights
conference would discuss today what
transpired 1t was made clear after the
meeting, however, that the Independents
will be ready for any emergency and
that Mayor Blankenburg himself will go
on the stump right after Labor Day and
lead the ight for the election of a Mayor
who will give the city a continued con-
structive administration, and for the cleo
tion of an Embossed Councils.
Those who took part in last nights
conference included, in addition TO the
Mayor and Director Porter, T. Henry
Walnut John c. Winston. Cyrus d. Foss,
Jr., Director Cooke, E. l.. d. Roach and
several other members of the Committee
of 100 and the Committee of 20.
The Mayor would not discuss the con-
ference. There are times when a man
cannot say n word even to his best
friends" was his answer TO questions.
There is not word to be said at the
present time. We simply had a little
conference and talked things over. but
there is nothing for publication now,
There viii be plenty doing when the right
time comes"
Mayor Blankenburg would not discuss
the possible candidacy of CONGRESSMAN
Ware nor the appointment of Thomas b.
smith to the post OF Public Service Com
missioner other participants In the con-
ference, however, made II clear that the
Independents would fght the election of
Congressman Ware, should he be a can
didate, on the grounds that he is a con-
tractor and therefore should not be placed

be awarded under the next administra-
tion.
