VOLUNTEERS ASKED.
TO SEARCH FOR BOY
200 Will Start Tomorrow on
Thorough Inspection Of Swamp
for Kenneth Bowman
MOTHER IN SECLUSl0N

A call was issued last night in down
town theatres for at least 200 Volun-
tcprs to aid in the search for three year
old Kenneth Bowman. Jr., who has been
missing from his home for week.
The men are asked to assemble at
Ninth and johnson streets tomorrow
afternoon at , o'clock. From there they
will 20 to the swamps, where 1T is
thought the boy might be. and renew
the search there.
last night II is believed some one
ATTEMPTED to get into the Bowman home.
The Bowmans have left the city to live
with a sister of Mr.. Bowman's in Cam
den. zo,o
The Rcv.Isaac n. Bowman, 1912
South Seventeenth street. grandfather
of the boy. said today that the family
and friends are strongly of the opinion
that the child was picked up by some one
who is either ignorant of the search that
is being made for him or who is holding
him for ransom.
Poll scout the kidnapping theory
and loan toward the view that Ken
meth is dead. They still are following
every trail that would indicate KID
mapping. but each seems more futile
than the other.
Scout Clue in Arrest
The authorities place no significance
upon the arrest of William Simon in
Ridley Park yesterday. Simon had n
child's cap, a piece of rope and bloody
handkerchief in his possession. The
cap does not correspond with the de-
! scription of the one worn by Kenneth
when he disappeared. Simon was com =
mitted TO the Media Jail for thirty days
OF charge of vagrancy.
! A search Of the Culverts in the vicin e
! ity of Seventh and johnson streets,
where Kenneth was last seen, will be
! instituted today. The street cleaning
contractors have promised to clean the
Culverts in a thorough search for the
body. 1t was recalled by police that
| the body of Warren McOarrick was
| found in culvert after it had been
missing six months.
There are several culverts in tn,
vicinity of 2747 South Seventh street
where Charles SCheck saw Kenneth
., asleep on the doorstep late in the aft
ernoon. Police recall that there was {
heavy rain Thursday night and believ'
it possible that the little boy nigh
have wandered near one of these cul'
verts and been washed into it.
Go Over Ground Again
Detectives Truitt and Liford ar
leading the scarChcrs today over TIL
ground that has already been dragged
with the hope that soIhe spots nigh
have been overlooked.
Mrs. Bowman is firm in her belle
that her child is living, but she canno
bear to face queStioners. 1t is to spar
her the ordeal of discussing the disap
pearance of her child that she has lef
town. Doctor Bowman, father of Mr.
Bowman, would not divulge their ad
dress in Camden.
