OF WEALTHY WIDOW
BALKS POLICE
by WHIT HADLEY

Y New York, April 13.-Is the great
est mystery of 90 years, the strange
disappearance Of Dorothy Arnold, to
be duplicated by the sudden di:,ap-
nearance on Friday, April J, of Mrs,
Annette N. Rankine. social favoritc
and multimillionaire?
Has she been k:dnappcd?
Has she been killed?
Has she taken her own life?
Or has she hidden herself?
The best police and private dctec-
tives in the world are trying to an
swer these questions.
Mrs. Rankine is young and i'm
mensely wealthy.
Precisely dressed, wearing few, but
costly gems she ordered her chauf-
feur, Frank Clouting, to take her to
59th street and Second avenue, a dis
trict of poverty, peise and unpleasant
odors.
Dismissing him, she started on foot.
Puzzled, Clouting returned to the
Rankine mansion at IA f. Goth street
in the heart Of Fifth avenues mil
Ionaire row."
Last Seen of Her
Mrs. Rankine never returned. No
word from her has been received.
The police say Mrs. Rankine has
killed herself. But the police have
not found her body, though they have
searched everywhere-even dragging
the bottom Of East river.
Relatives say she has been kid
naped, but they advance no reason for
this belief.
Close friends assert she is victim
Of aphasia and is wandering aimlessly
about.
Louise Closer Hale, novelist and
actress, who for 20 years was Mrs.
Rankine's closests friend, announces
that on several occasions she said
languidly she was weary of life7-that
life held no more illusions for her.
Mrs. Rankine was active in
charitable work and headed the Asso-
citation for the improvement of Con-
ditions of the Poor.
Many plans were being worked out
by her that required intensive and i'm
mediate application to work.
She had made many appointments
and upon leaving her home told a CON-
panion, Miss Sphinx, she would return
in two hours.
Private detectives suggest she has
been murdered, the motive being rob-
berry. A.
Mrs. Rankine is the widow Of Will
liam Birch Rankine, who in 1905
"harnessed Niagara Falls" with a
power company. He piled up many
millions of dollars. He died sudden
ly in September of that year, just
seven months after he had made Mrs.
kankine his bride and sole heir
This tragedy brought great sorrow
on the young wife. She erected a
beautiful estate at New Canaan,
closing her Buffalo home, and went
into retirement.
Ten years later when her brother,
Benjamin, married Mrs. Mary Grace
Mutually, sister of William T. Mutually,
head of an advertising agency here,
Mrs. Rankine and her mother moved
to New York and took over the mag
'nifcent residence on E. Goth street.
Recently her mother died and this
added sorrow transformed Mrs. Ran
kline from social light to heart
broken mourner.

linking TWO
s. D. SECTIONS
BEING PLANNED
Construction of Permanent
Wagon Bridge Across Mis-
souri, is Urged

Pierre, 8. D., April 12.-Another ef-
fort for the immediate linking of east
ern and western South Dakota, by
means of permanent wagon bridge
is being made by the Pierre CONNER
cial club, according to the recent an
nouncement Of that organization.
The club has obtained engineers
figures showing the cost and feasibll-
ity Of the Chicago and Northwestern
railway company planking the rail-
road bridge between this city and Fo:t
Pierre and adopting system of tolls
for vehicles and pedestrians.
The plan, which will be submitted
to railroad officials within 81 fe."
weeks, by committee representing
the club, call for the planking OF thc
bridge by the company, the construc-
tion of toll gates at each end and the
diScoutinuance of the ferry train
which makes the two mile run be-
tween the cities on two hour sched-
ule during the day.
According to the engineers figures
this ferry train service is not a payln2
proposition to the railroad company
while the toll system would be cap
able of showing a profit. The two
guards now stationed at each end OF
the bridge would be made the col
lectors of the, toll.
The cities OF Ft. Pierre and Pierre
would be responsible for the grading
of the approaches to the bridge un-
der the plan. -, .o
If the plan is adopted it will pro
vide the first permanent wagon bridge
across the Missouri in this state. II
is hoped to have the matter before the
railroad officials in time, so that II
adopted, the necessary work may be
completed before midsummer.

FRENCH VIEW OF MESSAGE

Washington, April 49, The
first move in the present Congress
looking to disarmament came to-
day with the introduction by Sen
ator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
authorizing the president to open
negotiations with Great Britain
and Japan looking to a reduction
in future naval building by those
countries and the United States.
The resolutions are similar to
those introduced by Senator Bcrah
the last session.
Washington, April 49, Senator
Knox, of Pennsylvania, introduced to-
day his resolution to end the state Of
war with Germany. The measure is
similar to one passed by the last Con-
gress and vetoed by President Wilson.
The resolution which also would end
the state of war with the Austrian gov
ernment was referred to the foreign
relations committee without discus
sion. 1t would provide that American
rights under thei treaty OF Versailles
should be reserved.
French Like Message.
Paris, April 12.-President Hard
ing's message to Congress created a
most favorable impression in official
as we'll as other circles. Particularly
favorable was the reception of the
presidents phrase in the message as
recommending the ratification as the
Treaty of Versailles detached from the
covenant of the League of Nations and
with reservations.
J Cable extras Of the address Of Pres
ident Harding arrived too late and
were too brief to permit morning pa
pers to comment on it editorially. The
prominence given Mr.. Harding's mes
sage, however, Showed the Importance
attached to it in this city.

oh. how love to sit and dream
And watch the ripples on the stream;
To feel the charm of Nature fair,
And rest awhile from toll and care.
And as the ripples roll away
Toward some distant unseen bay,
Ny spirit scars On airy wings
To higher planes and Heavily things.
A mystic spell creeps over me,
And thru the veil l dimiy see
The shining shores Of Beuiah Land.
And a glimpse of an out-stretehed hand.
Aethfnks hear an angels song.
As swift the ripples roll along:
And thru the mist there watts to me
Its echoes Ger the CLASSY sea-"

The forms of loved ones lost to me:
