POLICE ASKED TO JOIN
HUNT FOR 2 SISTERS
Father Makes Plea after Two
Weeks Vain Searching.

After an unsuccessful search for
more than two weeks for Annie and
Nav Muller, fifteen and nineteen, the
daughters OF John Muller, butcher,
of 269 Menahan Street, Williamsburg,
an appeal was made 70 the police Of the
Hamburg Avenue Station yesterday TO
send out a general alarm. The girls
disappeared on April Is, after telling
their father they were going to attend
mass.
The girls mother died two months
ago. and from that time they have been
inconsolable, sobbing nearly all the
time. When they failed 20 return home
their father instituted a search. and
enlisted the aid of friends. the Ridge
wood Board Of Trade and the Wyckoit
Heights Taxpayers Association, as well
as other organizations. All efforts TO
get a clew TO the whereabouts Of the
girls have been vain.
While friends of tho family seem
10 believe the girls may have met with
harm. the police seem TO regard II as
not improbable that they may have
gone TO some distant city and entered
a convent. Both were extremely re-
lICIous.

CALL GARBAGE
PLANT ODORLESS
Contractors Say Staten
Island Will Get Moth
ing but Benefit.

Gafney. Gehagan & Van Etten, the
contractors whose plans for a garbage
disposal plant on Staten Island have
been approved by the Board OF Esti-
mate. issued statement yesterday in
which they declared the agitation
against the erection Of the plant on
Arthur Kills had developed from mis-
statements Of the facts and the efforts
Of the Barren Island contractors, who
operate the present plant, to defeat
the city's plan. An open letter was
addressed BY the contractors to the
civic bodies and many citizens Of
Staten Island.
Extracts from afidavits by the
mayors. and other officials OF the
cities Of Los Angeles and New Bed
ford, Mass, where the same process
is employed, are included in the state
ment, certifying that those plants are
operated without odor and without
nuisance. Also n statement by Dr..
Haven Emerson. Commissioner of the
Department of Health. that the plant
as contracted for could be operated
anywhere in the city limits without
nuisance
II is pointed out by the contractors
that. unlike the Barren Island plant
which lberates fumes through the
smoke stacks, from its cooking
process, their process IS confined to
sealed receptacles or "reducers,'
where the material is disintegrated
by chemical dissolvents under steam
pressure. which kills the odor, pre-
vents the escape Of gases and ster-
lilies the drainage water.
"The Arthur Kill plant viii have no
smokestack except that which fires the
boiler the statement said. There Will
be no burning, no boiling
That the operation Of the plant will
require from 800 10 500 workmen, who
are expected to locate in the immediate
vicinity Of the plant, and, with their
families, will increase the population
of Staten Island by 1900 to 1900. is
another point made. They estimate
that the salaries of their employees and
the firms own requirements for local
supplies will mean a disbursement in
Staten Island Of 100000 a year
Despite the many distractions placed
in their way, the contractors, il IS
stated, are making good progress in
the work preliminary TO actual con-
struction. They point out that they
have already expended upwards OF
100000 and obligated themselves in
larger amounts. They say they expect
TO have their plant constructed and in
practical working order on schedule

CATTLE INDUSTRY
RAPID PACE IN THE VALLEYS
OF THE BLACK HILLS
DISTRICT.

Sturgis, Aug. 15.-Valleys be-
tween here and Rapid City have this
year witnessed the rapid growth OF
the cattle industry on something like
the scale of years ago. Ranchers
found that the native grasses were
particularly adapted TO cattle and be
gan early in the spring TO ship ami
mails in and a conservative estimate
of the number of cattle now in this
section is 10000 and this figure will
be materially increased before the
year is out. While most of the cat
tie are being fed for beef, it is plan
ned not TO ship out many this year,
but to hold them another year. while
some OF the small ranches are doing
a thriving business with milk and
rea from their COWS, the cream
receipts showing a constant gain
each month.
With the presence here of a party
of Chicago and Northwestern railway
officials, who went carefully over the
situation, it is declared more than a
possibility that this company has de
cided at last to make further extern
sions from the Black Hills into the
west, encouraged by the increase in
the cattle business near here and also
near Belle Fourche.

CHILDREN IN court
NEG HBORS HAVE FALLING OFT
AND TROUBLES ARE WEIGH
ED BY JUDGE.

A neighborhoOd controversy which
had its inception some weeks ago in
the northeastern part of the city, and
which may eliminate in a temporary
guardian being appointed for four
children, ranging in ages from about
6 years to IL years, was aired yester-
day and today in the court of Judge
A. W. Sponholz.
The children, against whom COM
plant had been made by Mrs. Sam
Sigma, East Eighth street. are the
three sons and m daughter of Nh.
and Mrs. Charles Marquart. 1t was
alleged by the complainant that the
children were wont to throw missiles
and use insulting language. Some
twelve witnesses testified. Testi-
mony for the prosecution tended to
substantiate some of the allegations
against the children. Evidence given
for the defense was to the effect that
the children were not the only per
sons in the neighborhood who had
hurled bottles and epithets.
Following the taking of evidence.
Judge Sponholz said that the chill
dren would not be sent TO the re-
form school, but that if acceptable
guardians could be persuaded TO act,
the children may be put on probation
for sixty days or so.

In stepping from in front of a
horse that had been driven near the
curb, Clifford Kingsley, about IL
years old, son of Rufus Kingsley,
West Eighth street, lodged in front
of a moving automobile, driven by
Chris Paulson. The boy jumped
fairly in front of the radiator of the

stopped and the driver, fearing the
boy had met with serious injury,
jumped out and made a hasty in
