NO TRACE FOUND
OF GIRL MISSING
FOR THIRD TIME
Mary Montgomery Kidnapped
IL Years Ago by Father
Disappears Again.

No trace of Mary Eloise Montgom-
cry, 16, convent-bred daughter of Mrs.
Ethel Crum, 2101 Park Ave, had been
found today by mother or Juvenile
Court authorities.
The girl, twelve years the innocent
cause of bitter family struggle be-
tween her mother. and her father and
his family, started for summer school
at Shortridge Tuesday morning. She
had planned to visit friends near Mar
tinsville over the Fourth. She never
arrived.
Mrs. Crum learned her daughter
drew s21.75 from the Bankers Trust
Company at a. m. Tuesday.
Girl Disappears
Twelve years ago Mrs. Cr7um was
awarded custody Of her daughter in a
divorce from T. Wilbur Montgomery,
member Of q well-to-do Posey County
farming family whom she had met at
De Pauw University. The child was
stolen and for ten years the mother
searched in vain. Montgomery was
sentenced TO the State reformatory
for KIDNAPPING, but his lips were kept
sealed
In 1915 he escaped. He was par
doned on a promise to return Mary
Eloise to the United States from a
Cuban convent After the pardon he
disappeared with his daughter.
Alienation Suit Pending
In 1921, Mary Eloise reappeared at
the Montgomery home. Her mother
was given her custody by the Gibson
Circuit Court and brought her to In
dianapolis.
As she left the courtroom the child
pleaded to stay with her fathers
people. A suit for 500. 900 damages
for alienation Of affections, filed by
+ Mrs. Crum, will be tried at Evans
vile, Sept. 4.
The father is supposed to be in FIT.
Lauderdale, Fla. where an aunt,
Estella Montgomery. lives. Mrs.
Crum said she fears relatives have
induced the girl to leave her.

Tunnels for Foot
PASSENGERS Favored

Construct tunnels for people only
under Illinois and Washington Sts.,
Meridian and Washington SITS, Penn
sylvanla and Washington Sts., Illinois
and Market SITS, Illinois and Ohio
SITS, Meridian and Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Ohio SITS. as we'll as any other
crossings where the police may think
necessary.
Have each and every tunnel well
supplied with lads" Of the firms close
to each tunnel, which will attract the
people and make business good, and
in return have these firms pay certain
rent for signs, which will help pay
for constructing tunnels, If not paid
for altogether in that way. This
tunnel idea would keep the people out
of the dangerous parts of the city.
Consider Ohio ST.. Delaware, Mary
land or Georgia and Capitol Ave- as a
belt line and have each and every
car that enters the belt line go clear
around the belt line and back TO the
point where it entered said belt line
and there return to~its individual line
and go out and back again to the city
This would cause each and every car
to travel over the belt line and let
the public have full service. Then
take up all tracks inside this belt line
and use the space as parking space
for autos in center of each street and
leave the rest Of the street for traffic.
With the people walking out of the
way in the tunnels and cars off these
streets you would save many a life.
II you think the ads In the tunnels
are impracticable. refer you to the
New York subway stations.

Brain Test for All
Drivers Suggested.

I would suggest that drivers OF
street cars and interurbans be com
pslled to drive at all intersections sc
that they could stop within four feet
If necessary in all parts OF the city
and also in the country. Every driver
should know and does not know that
pedestrians have the right-of-way at
ali times.
When we had nothing but horse.
drawn vehicles there was no such
thing as accidents.
Approach all standing cars and
street cars with caution. Compel all
drivers and chauffeurs to answer fifty
questions as brain tests, as there is
no doubt that one-third of the peopla
now driving should be in an asylum.

Street Cars to Turn
As Traffic Moves

Have all traffic move north and
south at the same time and then all
move cast and west at the same time,
and all street cars turning in or of
Washington street should turn with
the traffic north and south.
No automobiles should turn left or
