CLUE Of FOULP[AY
TO MISSING PRIEST.
Searchers for Clergyman
Who MysteriousIy Disap-
peared Have New Evidence.
GARAGE OWNERS STORY
Police Find Automobile Believed
to Be That Operated by
Virden, ILL.,, Pastor.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. March 12.-The
theory that the Rev. John A. Vraniak,
Church at Virden, ILL.,, who mysterious
ly disappeared in st. Louis last Mon
day. met foul play was expressed last
night by local police, who are con-
Quoting a widespread search for the
missing clergyman
One of several clues unearthed today
led the authorities to believe that If
there was any foul play It took place
in Illinois. as A. c. Harness. a garage
owner at Venice. ILL.,, reported to the
police he had repaired Father Vraniaks
automobile last Monday AFTERNOON, and
that the churchman told him he was
returning to Virden from ST. Louis.
Police Find Automobile.
What the police believe is the
yesterday and Harness volunteered to
come to this city tomorrow and try
TO identify the machine. The author
tiles accepted Harness story as the
most authentic clue in the case. be-
cause Harness said he was sure the
man who stopped at his garage was
a priest and his description of the
man corresponds with that of Father
Vraniak. Venice is on the road from
st. Louis to Virden
Several other reports that the priest
was seen on the streets here during
the early hours of Monday afternoon
were discounted by the officials. who
declared that IL the clergyman had
fallen victim Of foul play his auto
mobile was brought to this city to
cover up the crime.
Father Vraniak's mother is con-
fident that her son is alive and Will
return home. According to advices
received here from Virden. the priest
lived with his mother and last night
she kept candlelight burning in
the window of their little home,
which adjoins the church, hoping that
1t would serve as beacon to guide
her son homeward.

LOSS TO NAVY HEAVY.
Separations 1000 Monthly With
Morale Suffering,

Serious loss to the Navy from the
continued high percentage of turn
over of enlisted personnel" has been
called to the attention of all officers
in formal department circular.
Separations from the service, addi-
tional to those represented by eXpir-
ing enlistments. are almost 1000 per
month and represent an annual loss
of about 15 per cent of the total
forces. according to the announce
ment.
Holding the opinion that lowered
morale is largely to blame for the
situation, naval officers were re-
quested to seriously consider the
question of how this might be i'm
proved and to forward any sugges-
tions to the department. Greater
care in selection of recruits has been
urged upon the enlistment agencies.
During the month Of February. 964

TRADES OUTLOOK SLIM,
Research Bureau Sees Little For
eign Buying in Prospect.

Outlook for foreign trade during
1923 is not favorable to any decided
expansion in export trade. European
markets are not recovering as rapidly
from the effects of the war as had
been anticipated and their purchases
must be confined to sheer necessities,
according to a statement today from
the bureau Of research Of the Ship
ping Board.
Conditions in the United States are
not favorable at present to a heavy
export movement of coal, as stocks
are low and a serious car shortage
has curtailed the pier totals to such
an extent that 1t is only possible to
care for current business.
France needs coal suitable for cox
ing purposes to maintain her steel
industries in the Lorraine.
A tendency toward more stable
internal economic conditions abroad,
except in Germany and the near east,
is noted. This tendency, the bureau
says, marks the first advance of our
commerce toward a resumption of
business in keeping with our produc-
tive powers.
