Mr. Griscom had gone. As we were
leaving no possible source ot infor?
mation uninvesttgated, we decided to
ilhd out where Mr. Griscom was anil
see It In: could help us out. !
"With that purpose in view. I called
upon Mr, Lloyd s. Griscom. n'io put I
j.io in touch with hn aunt of Mr. Grls- !
coin, who was then in Pittsbnrg, and I
front the aunt I learned that Mr. Gris?
com was in Florence, Italy. Mr. Crls- !
Coin's Cither an 1 mother were with j
him In? Florence at the time. The Ar- |
riolds then wrote to two ladies then in
11i11 >. who had known Miss Dorothy
since she was a bit by, and who were
as older sisters to her. and told them
<f i!;e pi id's disappearance, ami asked
i ? ru to go ;-i Florence and talk with
.Mr. Gr?.<edni find ask him if he could j
help them in any way.
'r'riio ladies were told to cable if lie
knew anything of value that would I
alii us In our investigation. Imme- j
?natch ? ? 11 hearing from the Arnolds j
t t'esi two k<d I es wont to Florence and
saw Mr. Griscom. He was perfectly; I
frank with them, ami answered all i
questions and told everything he knew
tu theni. tIio fiill story of hi:; friendship
with Miss Arnold, |
"The ladies found that Mr. Grise?hi I
?was living quietly hi Florence with,
his parents, and w rote its to thai of- j
feet. < m receipt of that letter from
the ladles we dropped the Griscom
pari of the in vest Ration completely.
* i though he lijjis since been seen by
Mr. .lehn Arnold. Miss Dorothy's broth?
er, who saw- him in Italy less than two
weeks auo, ami who also ((liestlolled j
Jiim as te his friendship with Ills sis- 1
tor, and who, like t ie women friends
who first talked to him about the mat
ti r. is (irmly convlhc'cd that Mr. Gris- j
com knows nothing whatever about
the disappearance of .Miss Dorothy.
"I now wish to say that the Arnold i
family, as also their lawyers; and the
detectives, are absolutely certain that
Mr. GrlseoiU knows nothing whatever
us to t>o manner of Miss Dorothy's
disappearance or as to her present
v ... i eahouts. :f she 'or .-till alive. He |

Dill Xn< Objeel In Visits.
"Now. as to that story that we kepi j
back J-omething from Hie. police, and J
did hoi tell t hem about Mr. Griscom
until after ho left Florence; That is
quite, tiuo. We diil not tell ihciu for
tie reason that we didn't have, any
reason to believe ho knew anything
more about it tban did any of the other
numerous friends that .S?ss Dorothy
had; I also wish |ij say that a story
printed that Mr. Arnold objected to
Mr. Grlseom's visiting his homo is tin- j
true,
"1 have now told yon tin. complete i
story of what may be termed tho the?
ory In this ease, and tho investigations
that have been made have completely
eliminated th it theory." I
Mr. Keith then said that .Ibhii \X".
Arnold, the elder brother of the miss
Iti? girl, bad made a Dip to Kurope.
Mr. Arnold, ho said, stilled from Now
York on the third of tiii..- month, and
went first to Carls and then to a few
Fraport tities of that country Going i
to Flpreiicc. Sir, Arnold saw and talked
With Alt'. Griscom.
"The reason that Mr. Arnold, on bis
arrival from France yesterday.'' said
Mr. Keith, "said that he knew nothing
of the case was because lie .lid not
know that tho matter had boon made
public while lie was on the ocean
fbnnew'nrd bound. The reason. I here
fore, that )!>? made that statement was
because be wished lb keep, a- he
thought the invest igatlon was bring
made, secret. Iis it was when ho left.
The host phase id' tivo case that Mr.
Keith touched upon was the one that
letters to tiie" missing girl had been
Intercepted, which led I ft the conclu?
sion that possibly the young woman
had a love, affair. Mr; K'eltlt denied
that any letters had been Intercepted,
and said that ho had read every letter
which was found in Miss Arnold's
desk after her dJsnnpcaranee, and that
none of tlieiii shed any liuhi on the
matte; of her disappearance.
"Tho next theory was Hint of sui?
cide. We could Und not one single Ih

basis for such a theory. She was al?

Collector Lists for Dismissal All
Who Were Smirched in
Sugar Frauds.
NO H E A R-I N G FOR THEM
Grand Jury Minutes Taken as
Evidence That They Are
Unfit for Service.
Now Vo'rk, January 21?.?Nothing
has so stirred up tlie rank and file
of l ho local customs service as the
announcement made yesterday that the
names of at least a dozen men had
been sent to Washington with a
recommendation that thee be dropped
? for the good of the .service." In some
eases those in the list were accused
by the self-confessed grafters in the
sugar eases, and the alleged offenses
were committed years ago. The charges
against some of the men, if not. all of
them, are .said to lie contained in the
minutes .of the grand jury. They in?
clude taking money from importers
for expediting the discharge" of their
imports. This, customs men say. had \
been a practice for forty years before
Mr. I.neb became (lie collector.
? According to a plan in the service,
there was a conference at the custom
house, at which It was decided that
criminal prosecution was Impossible.
Then the decree went forth that the
accused men must go. They were
called before the collector and told
that they must either resign ?r bo
summarily dismissed. They would not
resign, and so n recommendation for
their dismissal has been sent to the
Secretary of the Treasury. The ac?
cused have protested because they did
not got either a chance to inspect
the minutes or disprove the charges at
a hcarlTtg.
? hie of the men accused Is n deputy
surveyor, with years of honorable ser?
vice to his credit. He wanted n chance
to prove his innocence, but this was. de?
nied. Some ->f the accused men have
protested both to Collector l.neb and
tho Civil Service Board. They de?
manded a hearing. This was not grant- I
od, and now their fate rests with the I
Treasury Department. At tho custom
house it was said yesterday that thoj
names of th" accused men would bo
made public tb-riiorrbw.
"The civil service rules <]o not make
it obligatory to give these men a for?
mal hoarinir." said Surveyor ITenry.
"It is merely required that they get
formal notice nf the charges, together
with the specific counts; Kaeh man
has three days lo make written reply
to the charges,"
"Aeo.vrding to tho law." said Collec?
tor I.oeb. "any employe of tiie customs
service may bo removed for cause, i
other than political or religious, with,
otii giving bim a formal hearing;"
Influence has been brought to havH
the collector retain at least some of tin?
accused men. ITe refused on the
ground thai his bouse cleaning at this
i port would not be complete unless
'they wore forced nut of the service.
The fact that some of the in stand well
now. lie thinks, would have a bad effect
if they wore allowed to remain. Some
of the men are well liked hv tho eoi
loetbr. he savs, and have shown great
ability. Their departure from the ser?
vice, it is said, will complete the col?
lector's work of cleaning up at this

WANTS FRANCE 10
RECOGNIZE PEARY
Dr. Charcot; in Glowiiig Eulogy
of l'olc Discoverer, Pleads
for Justice for Jlim.
GEOGRAPHERS WANT PROOFS
Cannot Subscribe liven to What
Arc Almost Certitudes,
Says Mnlot.
Paris. January u'S.?Dr. Joan Charcot,
tlic French explorer, whose brilliant
work in I be Antarctic Is woll known,
has published n mugnillccnt plea for
justice In France for Captain Peary. '
lit; cries shame upon Die French for
their failure to accord hliii the honors
spontaneously accorded by Belgium, j
I liiUK.'ry. Herlln, Mamburg, Dondon.
Vienna, etc.
"Is It." he asks, "bocausc In Frauen |
geography is generali v ignored and
that, for the sake of hiding our igno- I
ranee, there is an endeavor to produce
the Impression' of a greater knowledge
than thai possessed by others?
"Or, Is it from jealousy, because we
are the nation which has made the
least effort toward the conqlicst of
polar mysteries?
"We owe It to our country, always
so keenly hungry for justice, to settle
ibis matter aright. AU France, en?
thusiastic as it is over arts of heroism
without distinction of nationality, owes
it to itself to repair one of the groat
t ts pieces of Injustice of hin corituryi"
Dr. Charcot's eulogy <>f Peary Is
tbuohingly eloquent.
"In tho calm and solitude of the.
Antarctic." ho says, referring to his \
own whereabouts when the news of i
tho finding of the North Pole lirst ?,
reached him. "if an error or a Ho might
b*? admitted in regard to the claims of
Dr. Cook, tho idea that Peary was an
Impostor could not by anv possibility
have presented Itself Peary. the I
unique example, in the history of e.\- I
plorntioh, of a hieb degree of obstinat?- I
courage?Peary, who. during almost a
quarter of a century; had abandoned j
family ties, friendship and comfort
with the solo ideal of bestowing glory :
upon his country nnd erasing the word j
'unknown' from a portion of our glohe ?
- -tirelessly sol forth and returned, and ;
sot forth ag.tin. with a full knowledge:
of the sufferings that must be endured j
anew: For fifteen years bo combated
apathy. Indifference and even sarcasm
in order u? obtain the money neces?
sary for his work?a task far more un?
grateful and demoralizing than tho
expedition Itself. For i -l 1 months this
uhoqualod man lived amid tho lee, car?
rying on a titanic struggle with cold,
fatigue and famine."
Ii seems thai there is an clement in
the Soeloto do Geographie, Including
some of its officers; which, after the i
fashion of a certain animal, has mute- !
ly and obstinately resisted all efforts
made, even by distinguished French?
men, to induce it to take action in
honoring Peary, who. in the meantime,
has declared, It Is said, that he will
hot come to Paris except on the so?
ciety's invitation.
Baton Joseph llulnt. secretary-gen?
eral of the society, has given these rea?
sons, which he says arc also those of
its president, Prince Poland Bona?
parte:
"Wo have in France quite a false
impression that going to the pole is
more a matter Of sport than of science.
Captain Peary is not a sportsman, but
a savant. He is a very groat traveler,
certainly. Do not forget that wo sent
our gold medal to him after the last
but one of his voyages, and that we
telegraphed him out congratulations
on his final return.
"D U precisely because wo have
greatly honored him; because wo have
the highest respect for his personal
dignity, for the quality of his efforts,
that we cannot now. without proofs,
render him official homage.

years' existence. Wo are posltlvlgts.

After an illness of noarlv seven
weeks. Miss Nancy Green Stokes, a
student at Stuart Mull for the past
two sessions. died at the King's
Daughters' Hospital Thursday evening
at half-past rt o'clock.
Miss Stokes became 111 with appen?
dicitis on December llth, and was
taken at once to the King's Daughters'
Hospital and was operated on by Dr.
Stuart McGulrc. who was sunnnonen
I com Hi eh mmol. She was seriously
ill from the first, but her friends cher?
ished the hope that she would recover.
She made a brave tight for her life,
and won the admiration of her physi?
cians and niirses by the patience and
sweetness with which she bore her
suffering. Everything that medical
and HUrglCal skill could do was dorn;
for her. and prayers were offered dally
for her recovery, not only among her
schoolmates end teachers, who were
devoted to her, hut In various parts uf
the Stale.
Miss Stokes; who was In her six?
teenth year, was a girl of beautiful
character, antl was much beloved by
all who knew her. She was a great
favorite at Stuart Hall, where she.
made ;? brilliant record. Her death
has cast a gloom not only over Ihn
school, but over the community, which
had become much Interested In her.
The many calls arid Inquiries made
dally at the hospital antl at the school
were evidences of the Interest felt in
her ease, and the Staunton people sym?
pathize deeply with Mr. and Mrs.
Stokes and with her teachers and
schoolmates.
Funeral services will be held this
?ftefnooh at 5 o'clock at Emmanuel
Church, conducted by the Hev. Robert I
t'. .letl. rector of Hie school, nnd the
Rev. i>. H. Lewis; Miss stokep's former
rector at Elk Hill. Virginia.
The remains will be tnken to Rich?

Duties were suspended all day at
Smart Hall, and the entire student
body, together with the teachers, will
attend the funeral.
While In the hospital, Miss Stokes
had a series of relapses, ?lue tu com?
plications, that has seldom been
equaled, When it seemed thai she
would recover from the attack of ap?
pendicitis, pneumonia developed, nnd
at three or four distinct stages she
was Oil the very brink of death. She
would begin to mend, however, and
during the past two days It seemed
as if her hope? for recovery were
brighter; but finally the end cam?, and
her spirit peacefully took Its flight
into eternity. She bore up bravely to
the last, and only ten minutes before
death came she expressed the belief
that she would recover.
even to almost certitudes:
"The majority of the So.lelie de
Geographie are convinced that Captain
1'eary reached the goal of which so
many others have dreamed; but that
It Is their private opinion. The serious
body Is unyielding as to the absolute
knowledge of that to which It puts its
attestation. It cannot go beyond that
and consecrate, by a public act, by an
official reception, th.il which Is not ab?

to the bar; there are no women on the
boards of control of the State charita?
ble Institutions, where most woman's
Influence Is needed, and woman ia not
eligible to any elective position.
"There ajffo certain Interests that
would be threatened did woman's suf?
frage become a fn-'t. These are, large?
ly at least, the Interests of immorality,
intemperance and greed. Certain man?
ufacturers and operators of large
stores do not want to ace woman's
suffrage, because its past history has
proved that it insists on the proper
regulation of child labor. The saloon
and gambling house keeper do not
want to see woman's suffrage, because
they know It will mean an end to their
traffic in human lives. The corrupt
politician does not want to see Woman's
suffrage, because it will mean the puri?
fication of elections and his removal
from olllce. The directors of the white
slave trafllc do not want to see equal
suffrage, because they remember how
quickly they had to leave Denver,
where, the women vote, in order to cs
capc a prosecution they laughed at In .
New Vork, where tne women do hot'
vote.
"But the argument upon which Ihe !
opponents of equal suffrage, dwell most
is that it will break up the home and
deprive womnn of her chnrm. Une
might reply that it does not seem to
have, broken up the homes In Colorado.
Wyoming, IJlnli or Idaho; that bridge
whist and punch parties are liable to
do a great deal more damage to the
home."
Mr. Maclaehlan's sermon made a de?
cided impression. At the close of the
service most of the women crowded
about the minister and showered him
with congratulations for championing
their cause.
