Vanishing Of Lillian Rosenef.
In Busy Street Battles Police
Three Days Search Fails to
Reveal Trace of Missing
Three Year Old Child;
Woman Gives Slight Clew

Little Lillian Rosencr, who vanished
out Of street about as busy as any in
New York at about its busiest hour. was
as completely "missing" yesterday as
she was the day before and the day
before that
Nothing that the police could do to
find her or to get trace of her had
been left undonc. For many blocks
around her parents home, at so Lenox
Avenue, at the corner Of 1l2th Street.
there wasn't a doorbell that detec-
tves hadn't rung. From Madison Ave
nue. to Morningsidc Park, from 10th
Street to 116th Street, the section in
which three year-old Lillian had lived
and had been last seen, had been thor
oughly combed.
A dozen "clcws" were turned up by
one or another of the sixty men work
ing yesterday under the direction of
Captain Richard McKenna, of the
Fourth Branch Detective Bureau. but
only one gave McKenna a definite lead.
Believes She Saw Child
But to the Rosenef's basement home
last evening came Mrs. Margaret Lev
entha, of Ia West 112th Street. for
years a friend of the family. She said
she was sure that she had seen Lillian
on Wednesday-th day after her dis
appearance more than block
away from her home.
"She was standing on a stoop in
J l12th Street, near my house." she
said. "Shc had hsy hands in little
,muf. recognized ncr and spoke to
! her, but she didn't answer If hadn't
been in n hurry to get TO the store
would have taken more interest in her
On the way home I didn't see her"
Mrs. Leventhal was sure it was or
Wednesday, although she wasn't GER
tain Of the time, that she had seer
Lillian.
Captain McKenno at 9 o'clock was
still inclined to believe that the chile
had been taken into the home Of some
neighbor and was not only alive, bu

inevitable by the fuel administration
officials tonight unless there is an i'm

industries, it is admitted, will suffer

see little chance to supply the less

CHAUFFEUR JAILED
FOR LEAVING AUTO
TO VISIT MOVIES

NEW YORK, April Fittings are
coming to a pretty pass when the
driver OF a delivery automobile cannot
make customers wait for their pack
ages while he seeks a little relaxation
in the movies without being arrested.
That's the way David Shapiro, a
chauffeur, feels about II.
He was sentenced 20 two days in
the Tombs and fined IS by Magistrate
Cobb, in the traffic court, on the
charge of leaving his automobile for
one hour at 1I5th street and Eighth
avenue.
You fellows who are put in charge
of valuable merchandise must be
taught a lesson in how to take care
OF it," said Magistrate Cobb in pre-
scribing a pair OF movieless days for
David.
Persons who have been wondering
why parcels were not delivered until
the articles were practically out OF
style now have one explanation for
the delay. According to the police,
some chauffeurs cannot be induced
to drive past movie plant Whlch
suggests that drivers of delivery
wagons be equipped with binders.
Shapiro admitted to the court that
he had gone into a movie theater TO
see Charlie Chaplin launch his spring
custard offensive. Shapiro said his
helper was in a lunchroom while he
was in the theater. The helper was
not arrested. Children were running
the automobile up. and down the block
while Shapiro was in the theater,
according to Policeman Greenberger.
