LOST GIRL IS HIDING,
POLICE NOW THINK
Miss Sullivan in Alexandria
Hours After Supposed Sui
eide in Upper Potomac.

With additional clues coming TO
light confirming the police in their
belief that Frances Sullivan, 18-year-
old missing girl and prolific note-writ-
er, Of 1922 Tenth street northeast had
not committed suicide. but was stay
ing with friends in a place unknown,
Detective Oscar Mansfield of the
twelfth precinct today began sys-
tematic canvass of friends Of the girl
who might be able to throw some in
formation his way.
The latest clue was an unsolicited
and unwilling one. Claude Fletcher,
uncle of the girl. who has q garage
and automobile repair shop In Alexan-
dria, got in touch with her family for
chat over the telephone, mentioning
incidentally that he had seen Frances
Saturday night in Alexandria on a
motor cycle with q young man whom
he did not know.
Sure She Is Alive.
He was curious about the identity
of the young man and had not heard
that his niece was missing. The time
he saw her was after the time when
she had been seen up the Potomac
Saturday afternoon opposite Rock
Spring, Nd, where one of her 10
messages to relatives and friends
stated she would drown herself. The
message from her uncle and an in
terview with Jack White, a boy friend
of Frances, last night at his residence,
13 y street, convinced Mansfield that
the girl was still alive.
One of the notes was to Jack White,
pinned on a bundle of clothing found
near the spot where the pseudo sui
eide was supposed to have taken
place. 1t was two pages in length,
stating, in part while you count
so. l will wade out In the water and
drown myself" Now that originally
was taken to indicate that Jack
wasn't far away at the time of the
alleged attempted suicide. but Jack
showed definitely that 1t was he who
was wearing white duck trousers and
pacing UP and down Twelfth street
near her home Saturday night, wait
ing vainly for Frances to keep an en-
gagement with him. In fact, 1t was
Jack, Mansfield learned. who was
mistaken for the girl by residents of
the neighborhood. who believed her
also to be attired in an outing cos
tune including white duck trousers.
Wrote Letters at Home.
The 10 notes written by Frances
and received by relatives and friends
evidently were indited in her boudoir
Friday night, when her sister says she
sat up late at the writing desk. The
notes covered the range of her close
friends and her relatives. One to her
sister stated that Frances 'loved you
in spells" pointing out a few In
stances, however, of attributed un-
fairness. which the missing girl be-
lieved she suffered at the hands of the
older sister.
Another note was received by the
mother of a former sweetheart of the
missing girl. This was the longest
note written. and it is understood to
have covered almost a score OF pages.
Montgomery County authorities, in
Guiding Deputy Caywood and Deputy
Gingell, are combing the river camps
above the District line and near Rock
Spring for traces of the missing girl.

COOLIDGE SILENT ON FORD
BID FOR IDLE u. S. FLEET
President Understood to Approve
Policy of Shipping Board in
Rejecting Offers.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July IA
The action of the Shipping Board in
rejecting the one bid submitted for
vessels that are to be scrapped was
in line, as President Coolidge views
it. with the policy having his approval
of giving the board Jurisdiction over
matters of policy and final say as to
the sale.
Since coming to Swampscott the
President had received no communi.
cation from Chairman O'Connor of
the Shipping Board. or from Admiral
Palmer, president Of the Fleet Cor
poration regarding the latest con-
troversy over ship sales.
No comment was made on behalf of
the President with regard to the entry
of Henry Ford into the bidding field,
and it was stated that apparently the
Shipping Board felt itself justified in
making restrictions as to what use
should be made of boilers, engines and
other parts of vessels sold for scrap
ping.

Under a ruling announced today by
the Bureau of Chemistry, Department

MONOPOLY IS SEEN
BY CAR REBU|LDERS
Plants Protest to |. c. C.
Against "Encouraging"
Competition by Railways.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Seventeen corporations operating
plants for the rebuilding of freight
cars have filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission a. protest
against the commissions encourage
ment" of manufacturing by railroads.
They charge that because a rail
road can assure it's own shops Il
monopoly Of its own, a situation re-
suits which eliminates competition and
does not encourage economy. The
accounts prescribed by the commits
sion and kept by the carriers, they
held, do not show the true costs OF
those manufacturing operations and
make it impossible for the commission
or the railroads to determine what
such work costs. The car building
companies think that much Of the
gross income from transportation
could be drained away by this in
cidental work in railroad shops and
that the accounts in their present
form would conceal the loss. A spe-
cial request is made for a revision OF
the carriers accounting system TO i
basis which will show true costs for
these operations"
Cite Excess Shops"
If the carriers build excess shops
for car repairing and construction, the
petition contends, these shops are not
likely to be permitted TO stand idle,
and they will bar the placing of the
work at an outside shop, even though
it may be equipped to handle it more
economically. To keep such shops
occupied. manufacturing operations
would be extended to still other items
which specialists now make, the car
builders assert, thus perpetuating "a
policy of duplication" taking business
away from those who originally earned
it by efficient service and eventually
making of a railroad a mammoth Of
unrestricted activities.
Such a situation, the petition claims.

ment to protect the lives and property
of foreigners and administer justice
through Chinese process.
1t was not unexpected that the Brit
ish government would oppose the
American viewpoint on this issue. for
British citizens have extensive com
mercial interests in the Far East who
feel about the withdrawal of extra
territorial rights very much as so
many Americans in Manila feel about
giving the Filipinos complete indie
pendence and withdrawing American
sovereignty. The British business
men fear it will mean an era of in
stability in China and ruin to their
trade and investments if they no
longer are permitted to have cases
tried in courts presided over by Eu-
ropean and American consuls and
justices.
An extraterritorial right is really a.
limitation on sovereignty in a specific
area and were 1t not for China s
political weakness in the world, she
would not tolerate such restrictions.
Turkey grew powerful enough to
force their withdrawal and while
China hasn't the strength to do so of
her own accord, she is relying on the
help of the American Government,
her traditional friend, and upon the
other powers who signed the pledge
at the Washington conference.
The viewpoint of the British
nationals corresponds very much to
that Of the American business man
in the Far East, who, however, find
their own government inclined to
disagree with them, feeling that the
ultimate stability of China is a better
objective than the retention of tenn
porary trade advantages.
