OF hunters and steeplechase racers.
1t was his third marriage. His first
wife was Ethel Lorraine, a show girl.
They were divorced in 1916. He later
married Caroline Hubert. now Mrs

THOUGHT ACCIDENT
Police Seek Trace of Notes
That Vanished From Bank
Cage in New York.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December l5.-Con-
vinced that the strange disappearance
Of $500, 900 in United States Treasury
notes from teller's cage of the United
States Trust Co. was an accident and
not a theft, police today continued
their search.
They held one hopeful clue to the
mystery. Several outgoing packets of
securities were dispatched at the time,
Thursday, that two messengers de-
livered the notes from the First Boston
Corp. The police today will trace
those deliveries in the hope the notes
were placed in the wrong envelopes by
accident.
Suspicion of theft was definitely
dismissed by the police, who pointed
out the thief would have considerable
difficulty disposing of the notes, five
of which were of 100000 designation.
Officials of the trust company held
no suspicion that there had been an
inside job" All the employees in the
cage were of long service. They are
remaining at their jobs.
An outside job" theory also was
disposed of after examination Of the
wicket for flngerprints and question
