Actor Finds No Trace of
Two Missing Children

Robert Beattie, actor, Of sol West
Fifty-tirst Street, didn't learn the
whereabouts of his two missing chill
dren yesterday, but he did learn how
skeptical press agents have made the
public about the troubles of anybody
in the theatrical profession.
The police, the newspapers and
neighbors wanted to know whether he
hadn't framed" the supposed kidnap-
ping Of Bobbie, ten years old, aud
Flora Ethel, nine, who went out for
milk and papers at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning and didn't return
BeAttie's genuine anxiety stopped
suspicion. but to make sure that every
body believed him he explained that
he is booked to take to the road Sep
TENDER l in an act with Bobbie and
another child and that the act is large
ly dancing. New York laws don't per
nit children to dance on the stage. So
city publicity couldn't help him.
The mother of the children, from
whom he is divorced, last Tuesday
sent him Flora Ethel, who had been
living with her in Leonia, n. j., and
told Beattie that the little girl might
be happier with the other children
Beattle went to the home of his
former wife yesterday and found it
closed. She and Beattie were married
fifteen years ago.
Bobbie Beattie stands four feet three
inches high, is stock and well built
and wore a blue and white sailor suit
and khaki sailor hat. Flora EthePs
height is about the same and she wore
lavender dress, white stockings and
shoes and no hat

inquiry Projected
Into Company That
Plans Bus Lines
Status of Manhattan Transit.
Promoted by Tammany
Leaders, To Be Taken Up
by Board of Estimate

Mayor Hylan's plan for citv-wide
system of bus transportation to be run
by a privately owned corporation so
that the city could not be enioined
from competing with the established
lines promise to be brought I'D before
the Board of Estimate tomorrow with
an inquiry into the status of the Man
haitian Transit Company.
1t became known at City Hall yes
terday that this company, which was
incorporated in 1902, took over the
General Carriage Company, which held
franchise from the Legislature per
hitting it to operate any kind of a
common carrier through the streets of
New York and Brooklyn. The stock OF
the company, it was disclosed was
held by Tammany Hall leaders, includ-
ing John c. Sheehan, Charles F. Muir
ply, the late Patrick II. McCarren,
Democratic boss of Brooklyn; the late
Anthony N. Brady and others
The franchise, which is still held by
the Manhattan Transit Company. gives
it the right to purchase, construct and
MAINTAIN system of hacks, coaches or
vehicles, drawn or propelled by horse
or other power, through any public
road, street or highway in any city of
the first class in this commonwealth"
Franchise Good as Ever
The fact that the franchise still ex-
lists and awaits only capital to enable
the stockholders to operate bus lines
became known through an inquiry
made by one Of the minor stockholders
at the Office of the Public Service Com
mission.
The company's franchise is per-
petual. Some of the stockholders are
reported recently to have told the
Mayor they were willing to help the
city out of the dilemma which resulted
from the refusal of the courts to per
NIT the city to operate bus lines in
competition companies. 1t was said
that the old franchise might be made
useful by giving the city an extensive
system of privately operated bus lines,
which would be immune from court in
functions.
Minor Stockholders Hopeful
Many minor stockh olders, who have
complained about the inactivity of
their investment, are now reported to
be more optimistic. Some of them ex-
pect to have the question brought be-
fore the Board of Estimate.
Mayor Hylan retra1ned yesterday
from making any comment on pub
lished stories that his plan for private
ly owned bus lines was announced just
about the time the Tammany- owned
franchise was being resuscitated.
Brisk dealing in the stock of the
Manhattan Transit Company was re-
ported on the curb yesterday The
dealings were stimulated by reports
tina. the company was going into active
business. Bids ran up to SO cents for
share of stock which had been re-
garded as a dead issue. Before the
close rs cents was offered
