2 THE NEWS AITD OBSERVER, i SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12. GILO OH THE Ton Million Dollars Car ried by the Lusitania The Financial Sit nation Improving Steadily Something; of a Block- - I ade Exists in I Domestic Exchange. (By the Associated Press.) New York. INov. 1 The financial situation was gradually clearing today without showing striking features, i, ii ue oanKs and trust compa nies are practically ovar.-'money wnlch was temporarily withdrawn from .....:-. iiiujea to runs Is llowlng into the stronger banks .and currency is bfinpr provided in most cases j where he demand for it is considered legiti mate, further engagements of gold by Boston and other points i have brought up the total engagements abroad under the recent movement to 126.550.000. The Liutltania. which sailed from Liverpool today, has on board about $10,000,000 In gold, one of the largest single shipments ever made. Prices on the stock exchange were firm during the early part of the day and did not yield seriously at any time. The fact that the stock exchanges of London and Paris were closed on account of All Saints' Day prevented any comparison of quota tions or arbitrage operations. ' Balances at the clearing house have settled down to a normal condition, but there Is still sometWhgT of a block ade in domestic exchange through the unwillingness of New York banks to pay currency upon drafts from other cities and the unwillingness of other cities to pay out their currency upon rafts from New York. The condi tion of affairs indicates a continued. pressure for currency rather than a breakdown of credits, but reasonable demands are being met for regular customers of the banks. The pos sibility of hastening the export move ment of wheat and cotton still en geges the attention of foreign ex change dealers, and also of those who endeavor to keep In touch with the general situation. Doubt is expressed whether the Secretary of the Treasury will be able to carry oat on any con siderable scale the project of the New Orleans exporters for accepting cash at government fiscal agencies abroad and transferrin it by telegraph , to points in this country, but Secretary Cortelyou Is understood to be willing to make such deposits of public money at cotton exporting points as will to a considerable extent relieve the strata.

BUT OF TH E WORLD Star Actor Is Mysterious ly Missing FRIENDS ARE ANXIOUS So Arc the Authorities Tlie Former Suggest Abduction or Murder The Latter Lean to the The ory That He Has Made Himself Scarce. (By the Associated Press.) New York. Oct. 31. The disappear ance of Raymond Hitchpock, follow ing his indictment by th grand Jury, which had heard the stories of three little girls, was the absorbing topic today on Broadway, where those who ' had known the star intimately during his ten years on the stage advanced half a dozen theories in explanation of his default. The actor's closest friends, who have energetically de fended his name since he became In volved in trouble, are divided in opin ion. Many Insisted today that driven desperate by series accusations, he had committed suicide. Others are satisfied that he had been spirited away and possibly murdered by men wno na( practiced blackmail on the comeaian ana wno reareffl exDosure ir - the case against their victim came to trial. This theory was voiced by Herman Fromme. the missins; man's attorney. and by Mrs. Hitchcock, who. before marriage, was Seabelle Mangasarian. of Chicago. Mrs. Hitchcock, though near collapse through worry, has con tinued to play opposite her husband's understudy at the theatre where both were engaged until yesterday, when Hitchcock failed to appear at the mat! nee. Kidnapped or Murdered. Mr. Fromme said: "Hitchcock did not go away of his own accord. He has been either kid napped or murdered by the band of blackmailers by whom ho has been annoyed, threatened and hounded for tne past two years "Six of these dozen men are known by name to me. Mr. Hitchcock has lived In a state of continual terror on account of their persecutions for two years. Nevertheless he has not left I his wife voluntarily. He is an inno j cent man and there Is no pspojr against ; mm mat mere is tne slightest foun- aauon ior the accusations made. "Four men have been trailing him ror months. Now it turns out that they they are blackmailers. Last Mon- HITCHCOCK DROP e.ira.oay Mr. Hitchcock was anxious to nave this entire matter aired In court. I out an adjournment prevented this. The case was called for this after noon. I believe that ne is the victim of the blackmailers who are not anx ious to have the case thrashed out." Detectives Looking for Him. While the stories rained some cred ence, ine ponce did not relax their fforts to locate Hitchcock, which be- sran when a police alarm for his arrest was sent out last night. All outgoing steamers were visited and their pas senger lists scrutinised. A wireless message was sent to the Majestic, which sailed yesterday. Detectives also watched the fain stations, but late tonight their vigilance and not been rewarded. District Attorney Je rome sent two detectives to Boston. This action probably grew out of the statement by a railroad conductor who thought he had Hitchcock as a passen ger to North Adams yesterday. This conductor, G. B. Keeler, returned to New York tonight. His train picked up, he said, three men passengers at 126th street yestenJey. In one of the three he thought he recognled Hitchcock. He was not positive of the Identification. He had. however, seen Hitchcock on the stage, and for the moment, did not doubt that the comedian and his passenger were one and the same. At North Adams train connections can be made to Boston by way of Troy. Some of Hitchcock's acquaintances think It likely that he has sought se clusion where, undisturbed for a few days, he can think over his predica ment and decide upon a course pf ac tion. Troubles of the Actor. Hitchcock's troubles have assumed several phases. He first caused the arrest of a boy who, he alleged, had attempted to blackmail him. Disclos ures In the case led to Hitchcock's arrest and he was arraigned Monday. The case went over until today, and he was released on 13.000 bail. Mean time the grand Jury" returned six In dictments against the actor, some of them charging criminal assault and abduction. When the original case was called today and the defendant failed to appear, his counsel asked that the case be continued for one Week. The district attorney's assistant made no objection and the magistrate set the hearing for next Wednesday after noon.

This was to the ne gro's liking. He mounted the wagon and took a seat by the sfd of Mr. Par ker. When a short distance from Wilson, after passing a bend In the road, the negro exclaimed: "Mr Par ker, you dropped your bottle of whis key In the road a short piece back; you wait here and I'llgo back and fetch it." Mr. Parker waited in vain for his returin; then proceeded on his way home, njot for a moment suspect ing that he had been robbed but he found it out to his sorrow, later The negro returned to Wilson and going to the store of J. & D.

The Berlin Editor Will Have to Pace the Music Again. (By the Associated Press.) Berlin. Nov. 1. The Harden-Moltke case has entered on a new phase. It appears that the State's attorney has decided to take up tne matter ana bring suit against Herr Harden, ed itor of Die Zukunft. before a bench of five Judges. This decision apparently is due to the wide-spread opinion that General Count Kuno Von Moltke was 'hardly dealt with in last week's trial of the salt for libel against. Herr Har den. It also denotes a reversal of the attitude of the State's attorney, who originally had refused to bring suit against Harden at Von Moltke' In stance, leaving the latter to take pri vate action on his own account. Ex plaining this action, the State's at torney said today: "Von Moltke apparently had no ad equate opportunity at the recent trial to clear himself or Herr Harden's charges, and hence the State's attorney thinks It necessary to Institute new proceedings and fully clear up the matter from all standpoints."
