MRS. RANKINE TOLD
NURSE "I'D RATHER
Be DEAD THAN ILL"
Missing Widow Refused to
Have Fears Over Sick
ness Allayed.
POLICE DRAG RIVER.
Fragment of Mourning Veil
Found Off East 61St Street
by GrapplerS.

Ill-health and the fainting spells
to which she was occasionally sub
ject, with their consequent periods Of
depression, may account for the mys-
terious disappearance OF Mrs. An
nette Norton Ranklne. Information
obtained to-day disclosed Mrs. Ran
kline had spoken several times to Miss
Sphinx, the nurse in constant attend
ance upon her, about her health and
the probabilities Of her recovery.
Upon one occasion she said to Miss
Sphinx:
DO you think I am ever to get
over my illness?" and in spite Of reas-
suranoe upon that point, remarked:
- not, I'd much ra cher be dead"
Whenever these moments OF de-
preston arrived Miss Sphinx did her
best to cheer Mrs. Rankinc, but 1t
seemed always that in the latter's
mind there was a doubt of her COM
plete recovery from the illness which
followed a nervous breakdown some
time ago.
Although two hopeful bits OF in
formation have come to light relative
to Mrs. Rankine's disappearance last
Friday evening al Second Avenue and
59th Street-one that Richard Dunn,
watchman, saw a woman answering
her description enter a B. r. T. sub
way kiosk at that corner, and another
that Mrs. Rankine asked her chauf-
feur, Frank Clouting, to direct her
to a good pawnshop-the police to-
day began dragging the East River
near the Manhattan end OF the
greensboro Bridge.
Police Launch No. 4 started out at
10 o'clock this morning with
graphing irons and will search
about the river piers until sundown.
A fragment of mourning veil of
EXPENSIVE material was found in the
| river about fifteen feet from shore
off 61st Street this afternoon. 1t was
taken to the headquarters OF the
| Marine Division for identification by
members OF Mrs. Rankine's family
or friends,
! Clouting's statement is that a short
time before she disappeared Mrs.
| Rankine asked for the address OF a
told her of one he knew, but added
he believed 1t to be closed at that time.
Then, he says, she ordered him TO
drive toward the east side, and at the
entrance to greensboro Bridge Or
dered the car stopped and alighted.
If the woman Dunn saw enter the
subway was Mrs. Rankine, the inves-
tigators 2hink her disappearance may
have beeB deliberate instead of due to
accident or suicide. Her inquiry
about a pawnshop is taken as an evil
dence she may have been temporarily
out OF her mind, as her relatives can
conceive no reason why she should
have sought pawnshop. Pawnshops
up and down the east side have been
visited, but the jewelry she wore has
nos been found.
Mrs. Rankine's brother, Benjamin
Vernon Norton OF the Guarantee Trust
Company, has j. NJ. Nye aiding the
search. Nye was for years bodyguard
to Presidents, and one of 9he best
known men in the e'Secret Service. He
announced he believed in cases Ike

WILL PROCEED SLOWLY
Knox Resolution Stemmed by
President, Who Wants to
| Control Its PhraSeology.
By DGUid Laurence.
(SpeeiaI Correspondent of The Eve
nina Worldly


WASHINGTON, April Copy
right, 1921.-Presldent Harding at his
semi-weekly meeting with the Wash
ington correspondents made it clea-
that he doesn't intend to be stam-
peded into taking dozen steps at
once in matters OF foreign policy and
that he means to proceed slowly and
cautiously in formulating Americas
programme.
Many Cabinet discussions and con-
ferences have failed to develop a
practical way to consider the YER
sailles Treaty without submitting it
again TO the United States Senate
an action that might be construed as
Endorsement of the covenant of the
League of Nations, which is a part of
the treaty itself. Suggestions that
the treaty might be rewritten with
the League clauses modified or that
the enforcement provisions of the
treaty might be separated from those
articles which have to do with inter
national cooperation have seemed to
lead nowhere. On every side the
problem of amending the treaty has
meant accepting portions of the
treaty, which the new Administration
feels committed to reject
Meanwhile the movement to rush
the Knox resolution through has been
TO some extent stemmed by the desire
of Mr.. Harding to maintain control
over the phraseolosy OF the resolu
ton, as we'll as the time of its pas
sage. All that it is proper to say at
Gpe moment is that the Harding Ad-
ministration is getting ready to turn
its back on the Versailles Treaty and
the covenant and is planning to end
the technical state OF war by Con-
Eressional resolution, which would be
followed by a carefully worked -out
policy toward the other nations Of the
world.
NEW POLICY WILL NOT BE ONE
OF ISOLATION.
The new policy will not be isola-
tion. 1t will not be a return to the
old days Of diplomatic seclusion. II
will mean that as a world power
America will not cease to be aggres,
sive where her rights are concerned
and that America recognizes the i'm.
portance of playing her part in
preserving world peace if any natior
or Government threatens to disturb
civilization again.
Mr. Harding is loath to talk for.
