JEANNE DEKAY
IS SOUGHT HERE
Former Waukegan Girl
Missing From Chicago May
Have Found a Refuge
In Kenosha.
LOCAL POLICE AID SEARCH
It Is Thought That the Young Woman
May Have Come To Kenosha To Seek
Work In One of the Big
Factories Here.
LOCAL POLICE AID SEARCH

Kenosha police have been asked to
join in the search for Jeanne DeKay,
protege Of Jane Adams Of Hull House,
Chicago, who disappeared in mystery
from Hull House week ago this after
noon. It is believed possible that the
young woman may be in hiding in Ke-
nosha, but there has been no clue dis
covered which would lead the searchers
to this city.
The call to the Kenosha police to
aid in Che search is in common with a
call sent to all cities in the neighbor-
hood of Chicago.
When Jeanne DeKay lived at Wau-
kegan years ago, she was frequent
visitor to Kenosha and she is known
to many people in this city.
Chicago people believe that the young
woman, who is declared to be heiress
of very wealthy man, left Chicago in
search of career. A reward of 800
has been offered for information lead
ing to the location of the young woman.
Seek Her in Local Factories,
A description of the young woman
has been sent to employing heads of all
the factories in Kenosha where young
women are employed and all applicants
for work in these factories are being
closely scrutinized. It is declared that
thus far no one has been found answer
ing her description. Chicago papers
this morning declared that detectives
from that. city would come to Kenosha
during the day to seek some clue of
the missing girl here, but if the detec-
tives were in Kenosha today, they did
not make their presence known to the
police department.
John w. DeKay, the father of the
missing young woman, was former
editor of the Waukegan Herald Gazette
and during their residence in that city
the members of the DeKay family were
frequent visitors in Kenosha. After
leaving Waukegan, DeKay was credit
ed with having made fortune in Mex
leo and for a number of years he had
lived abroad
Has Had Smallpox.
Years ago while the DeKay family
was living in Mexico the girl had an
attack of smallpox which left her face
badly marked. It is believed that on
this account it will be easy to identity
her. Any person seeing a young woman
who might answer the description of
Jeanne DeKay is urged to communicate
promptly with the police department.

NelU Appeal for
Naval Officer $
(Rr United Press

Paris, Jan. 7-Germany has sent a
note to the peace conference Directing
to the proposed trial of Teuton officers
who scuttled the interned German fleet
at Scapa Flow by an allied tribunal, it
was learned today. The Germans also
renewed their objection to give up FIVE
light cruisers, demanded by France, de-
clared their surrender would leave
Germany without sufficient ships of this
type for necessary patrol duty. The
note reiterated the German denial that
marine materials, demanded in the
scapa Flow compensation article of the
protocol, had been sold since Nov. 3,
1919, as the allies have claimed. Ger
many said she did not object to the alb
sence Of American representatives on
the various commissions charged with
the execution of the peace treaty, which
is to be declared effective Saturday.

Paris, Jan. THE present peace con-

change of Publications making the Yer
sailes treaty effective either Satur-
day or Monday, it was learned today.
Owing to the fact the French senatorial
elections begin Sunday, terminating
with resignation of the cabinet and for
nation of new cabinet January Is,
France will intimate to the allies, it was
understood that it is impossible for the
present government to undertake addi-
tional peace problems which cannot be
decided before that date. Hence all re-
naming problems will be left to the
new conference, il which the new
French cabinet will take part. The
first problem to come before the con
ference, it is understood will be the
Fiume question. Next it will probably
work out the Hungarian and Turkish
peace settlements. First sessions of the
new conference probably will not be
held before the end of this month.
