EDITOR SAYS ARCHITECT

NEW YORK, May 7.-Architects are
asking If the trend of the times indi-
Gates that their profession will be alb
sorbed by the building industry as a
whole, Benjamin F. Belts, editor of
American Architect, writes in the an
nual forecast" issue of his publication.
THE Nation is today faced with
grave problems" says Mr.. Belts Many
of these need the leadership of men
who understand planning, building con-
struction and how to coordinate group
activities. No one has greater capacity
in this direction than has the archi-
tect.
Leadership of the profession can be

THE architect will always be needed.
Nothing can be substituted for his

A local constable had recognized
him from a circular broadcast by
Toronto police.

strange things had happened.
Detectives found that Doughty
twice had visited Small's bank
vault on the day the millionaire
disappeared, and that $150,O0O in
bonds had vanished.
DROUGHT back to Toronto,
ID Doughty led police to the
home of his sister and there,
from hiding place in the attic,
produced the $15O,0OO in bonds.
His explanation was this He
had taken the bonds from his
employers vault with the inten-
ton of going to Small and sug-
costing that the $15O,O0O would be
a suitable reward for his long
service.
But, he added, Small disap-
peared before he could do this
and he Doughty then had de-
cided to keep the money, feeling
that it was due him.
Doughty was tried, convicted of
larceny and sentenced to six
years. A second indictment

not pressed.
All mention of kidnapping was
omitted at his trial for larceny.
He was freed from prison in Feb

find the body. On the theory
that the remains had been burned,
the theater furnace was searched
and the ashes of the city dump
sifted.
But the furnace had been
cleaned long before the search
was made and the ashes of the
city dump yielded only bones that
could not be identified as those
of a human being.

AND HIS BODY BURNED
IN THE FURNACE

And, four years afterward
when relatives we're fighting in
court over the Small estate, Mrs.
Small explained why she had
waited two weeks after her hus-
bands disappearance before she
notified police.
They had quarreled before over
another woman, she testified, and
shortly after Small's disappear
ance on Dec. 2 she had found
love letters among her husbands
effects.
A paragraph in one of these
letters, from a married woman,
read:
81 am the most unhappy girl
in the world. I want you. Can't
you suggest something after the
first of December? You will be
free, practically. Let's beat it
away from our troubles"
Mrs. Small said it was the dis
covery of these letters immedi-
ately after her husband disap-
peared that kept her from notify
ing police at once.
Was Toronto's "1ost millionaire"
murdered, or did he run away?

riddle?

NEVADA LOOKS SAFE
ON RO0SEVELT'S SIDE
Republican Senator Is Likely to
Win in November.

WIN IN November.
By Scripps-Hoicdrd Newspaper Alliance
RENO, Sept. 27.-Unless all po-
litical signs fail, Nevada's three
electoral votes will land safely in
the Roosevelt bag.
Republican hopes are based upon
George Wingfield, Reno's wealthy
hotel man, who Yields power in
Washoe county. Otherwise, the
Democratic swing is noticeable in
the Sagebrush state. Democratic
registration is 10000 greater than
Republican.
1t looks as if Senator Tasker
Oddie. Republican, will be re-elect-
ed. He has made himself popular
with the home folks. His fights
for taxing property at Boulder City,
for silver rehabilitation, for post
offices and other patronage have
won him general support.
He also has fought Secretary Will

halt the payment of workers by

Oddie's Democratic opponent is

ON the very day that he disap-
" peared, Ambrose Small, To-
ronto's "1ost millionaire" sold his
chain of Canadian theaters for
$1,750,000, deposited in his bank
a check for the $1,OOO,OOO down
payment and retired from the
business he had entered thirty
five years before as a $10-a-week
ticket taker.
He vanished on Dec. 2, 1919.
That was nearly thirteen years
ago. Though a $4,000 reward
was offered by his wife and a
worldwide search was conducted,
no trace of the missing million
aire ever was found.
Canada's theater mogul left be-
hind him an enigma as battling
as any shadowy mystery drama
ever enacted in any of his nu-
merous theaters.
Even today some of the Romin-
ions best detectives, who have
worked on his case for years, do
not know whether Ambrose Small
was murdered and his body de-
stroyed or whether he went away
voluntarily to that Port of Miss
ing Men which beckons invitingly

CMALL was tall, lean, hawk
~ like man with a heavy black
mustache. 1t appears that he had
few enemies and, from all &C
counts, still fewer friends.
His closest companion was John
Doughty, his confidential Secre-
tary and right-hand man, who
knew his employers romantic Sc
crets.
They had been associated for
nineteen years and though Small
had made several million dollars,
he was paying his friend only $45
a week.
About noon on the. day of his
disappearance, Small and his at
torneys consummated the sale of
his theaters to a Canadian syndi-
cate for $1,75O,OOO. A check for
100000 was given Small as
down payment, and this he de-
posted in the Dominion bank of
Toronto.
Then he had lunch downtown
with his wife, visited Catholic
orphanage with her and returned
to his Office about 3 p. m, saying
he would be home for dinner
at 6.
Between 3 and 5, employees of
the Grand theater saw their re-
firing master in his private Office,
apparently winding up his affairs.
At $50 he visited Lambs hotel
next door, which was his custom
before going home,

 Norris summoned the committee to meet tomorrow to consider the House 3.2 per cent bill. There was no quorum when the committee sought to meet yesterday. But 1t was informally agreed that the Blaine subcommittee should draft a substitute for the House bill. Y The proposed substitute will maintain the 3.2 per centage fixed in the House bill but will repeal entire sections of the Volstead act relating to alcoholic content. New sections will be drafted legalizing the 3.2 per centage. The Collier bill merely amends those sections.
 Blaine explained such procedure would avoid chaotic conditions which might arise if the House bill were enacted and then declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. In such event. he said, the Volstead act would revert back to it's one-half of one per cent stand- ard and no brewers who had con- signed a case or carload of beer on credit would be able to collect his bill.
 The re-draft proposed by Blaine could not prevent the court from ruling on beer. but if the verdict proclaimed 3.2 per cent unconsti- tutional there would be no one half of one per cent to fall back on. In effect the Volstead act would cease to exist as an enforce ment agency-or so Blaine be- iieves.
