DES MOINES IS WORRIED OVER HOOVER'S VISIT Fear Farm Demonstration May Injure Good Name of City. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Writer DES MOINES. Sept. 28.—N0 American city ever has made ready for the cqming of a President with greater trepidation than this capital, in the heart of the agricultural region, has prepared for President Herbert Hoover’s visit and delivery of a major campaign address next week. Instead of being a matter for jubilation to city and state officials, Republican leaders, police authorities and prominent citizens, the selection of this place for the opening of the campaign has aroused fear of possible slight to the President that will injure the good name of the state. In conversation, officials deplore the choice, and informally have asked the Republican national committee why a more peaceful place was not selected. 'Bad Strategy Is Claimed In addition to the threat of farm parades and protests, Republican politicians say the invasion of such a rock-ribbed state is bad strategy. It will have the same adverse effect, they say, that would follow from a tour of southern states by the Democratic nominee. Democrats are making capital out of the situation. Though both radical and conservative farm spokesmen have insisted on an orderly protest by their followers, they are not sure that some surplus crops going to rot and being held from market will not b* brought into town that day. Such threats have been made at farmers’ meetings, especially in the vicinity of Sioux City, farm strike center. It is expected that Mayor Dwight Lewis will refuse a parade permit to the organized farmers, but they threaten to drive and march in any way. Democrats Lead in Polls When asked by the arrangements committee to have 400 police on duty the day Mr. Hoover arrives, Police Chief Henry A. Alber replied: “All I can muster is 167 cops, including stenographers.” Asa matter of fact, Mr. Hoover’s trip may be necessary to carry lowa. There has been a definite shift in favor of Governor Franklin D t Roosevelt, due partly to the latter’s speeches and partly to continued low commodity prices. The Drs Moines Register, owned by Gardner Cowles, Hoover appointee to the R. F. C., has just published the first results of its presidential poll. With about 24,000 votes in, Roosevelt leads Hoover by 4,000, and Henry Field, Republican senatorial nominee, is only a few hundred votes ahead of Louis Murphy, his wet Democratic rival. Willing to Try Roosevelt Senator Smith W. Brookhart has entered the race as an independent, and he may hurt the Hoover-Field ticket more. Farm leaders report that rural sentiment is becoming more bitter against Hoover. Few believe the President can help himself with this element. The lowa Republican has been patient, voting the straight Republican ticket year after year, but his patience is about exhausted. For ten years, Republican farmers protest, they have received nothing from a series of Republican administrations, and they resent particularly what they regard as Hoovers indifference. Though not satisfied with Roosevelt's farm program, they seem willing to give him a chance. FIVE WOMEN INJURED WHEN AUTO UPSETS Car Crashes Into Truck Trailer and Turns Over in Ditch.

HEIRESS LOST FOR 22 YEARS

Mysteiy of Dorothy Arnold Deepens as Time Rolls On

Colonel Raymond Robins, friend of President Hooker, has mysteriously vanished. Joining the ranks of 50,000 persons who disappear annually in the United States. This is the last of a senes of six mystery classics of real life—those who never came back. BY ROBERT TALLEY NEA Service Writer (Copyright. 1932. NEA Service, Inc.) THE most famous “missing persons” case in American history is that of Dorothy Arnold, New York's “lost heiress” who vanished twenty-two years ago and of whom no trace ever has been found. Her case ranks with the kidnaping of Charles Ross or the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby as one of the nation’s classics of mystery, which time not only has failed to solve, but actually has deepened. Here is the story of her strange disappearance as it might have appeared in the newspapers when it was revealed by New York police on Jan. 25, 1911, six weeks after she had vanished: * * * NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Following a futile search of more than a month, Deputy Police Commissioner Flynn announced today that Dorothy Arnold, 25, daughter of a millionaire perfume importer, and leader in New York society, has been missing since Dec. 12 last. Miss Arnold disappeared mysteriously while shopping on Fifth avende. She had an engagement to meet her mother for lunch at the Waldorf-Astoria, but did not appear. The young heiress, who is noted for her beauty, last was seen by Miss Gladys King, a friend, as she emerged from Brentano’s book store at Fifth avenue and Twentyseventh street, about 1:45 p. m. They chatted for a moment about a party that was to be held at Miss Arnold’s home on the following day, and then Miss Arnold hurried away, with the statement that she was late for her luncheon appointment with her mother. As well as the family can estimate, Miss Arnold had about $25 on her person when she left home that morning. No motive is known for her disappearance, as she was an unusually cheerful girl, a graduate of Bryn Mawr, an amateur author and very popular in New York society Police have been unable to obtain any definite clews. * * * THAT was twenty-two years ago—and that news is just the same today, unchanged, for the police still are without clews. On the crisp December day in

PLAN BILLBOARD VOTE CAMPAIGN Roosevelt Cry to Be Plastered Over Nation. By Scrippe-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—Officials of the newly formed National Progressive League, which is backing Roosevelt for President under the leadership of Senator George Norris, are planning a huge billboard campaign in carrying their appeal to the independent voter. M. D. Hildreth, executive secretary, said today that Norris’ slogan, "What the country needs is another Roosevelt in the White House," will be "plastered" on billboards throughout the nation. Granted that the organization can raise the necessary funds, said Hildreth, the bill poster program will be carried out' extensively. In addition, the league will endeavor to put into the hands of as many citizens as possible, a magazine article by Norris, “Why I Am a Better Republican Than Hoover.” In order to reach sections serviced by local radio stations not associated with the chain broadcasters, the league plans to have Norris make disk records for use on the air. They hope to put them on more than four hundred small stations. Not since the 1924 La Follette campaign have the Progressive elements concentrated effort. With Norris, Mayor Murphy of De+roit; Bainbridge Colby, ex-secre-tary of state; Amos Pinchot, Senator Edward P. Costigan and others as speakers, the league hopes to become a decisive factor during the last month of the campaign. High School Pupil Missing Police were asked today to search for Walter Guillaume, 15, of 1524 North Sherman drive. Tech high school pupil, who is missing from his home. Young Guillaume did not attend school either Monday or Tuesday.

Dorothy Arnold, whose disappearance twenty-two years ago is still a mystery.

1910 Dorothy Arnold walked out of the pages of life and left behind her a mystery that outdoes fiction. There have been a thousand theories, a million rumors—but not one shred of real evidence which might explain where she went, how she went, or why. Her disappearance became a nation-wide sensation, comparable—in this generation—to the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby. Pictures of her were published in every newspaper in the land . . . but no community ever has recognized her as a stranger in its midst. Her wealthy parents sent detectives to search for her in Europe . . . but this, too, was without result. Search for her body was made in the waters around New York . . . but her body never was found. Dorothy Arnold’s fate became a classic of mystery.

INVESTORS’ RIGHTS IN UTILITIESiARE PRgBED Money in Operating Companies, Own Holding Firm Debentures. By Scripps-Howura Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—The federal trade commission today turned its attention to the situation of investors who put their money in operating utilities, and find later that instead they own debentures of a utility holding company. Such a transaction occurred when the Binghamton Light, HgU and Power Company was merg&Lwith New York State Electric Gas Corporation. Both are members of the Associated Gas and Electric System, and associated debentures were traded for the assets of the operating company. Recently, tne federal power commission has been investigating another merger in the Associated Gas and Electric System, by which Clarion River Power Company passed into the hands of Pennsylvania Electric Company. The power commission has asked the companies involved to submit proof that the transfer "was not designed to impair or destroy the value of the $4,453,000 of preferred stock outstanding of the Clarion River Power Company# HELD IN CIGARET THEFT Accuse City Man of Part in Obtaining Loot Worth S6OO. John Thomas, 1701 Howard street, was arrested late Tuesday by Detectives Fossatti and Irick charged with complicity in the theft of nine cases of cigarets worth S6OO from the Pennsylvania railroad storehouse on Southern avenue in November, 1931. Thomas is alleged to have been the partner of Beeler Reynolds who was shot by railroad police at the time of the robbery.

DGGING back into her past, detectives found a lot of things that were of much interest, but of doubtful importance. Dorothy, an aspiring author, had submitted several stories to magazines and they had been returned. This naturally led to good-natured gibing by her family. A little later, Dorothy rented a postoffice box—apparently for a place where she could receive her rejected manuscripts in secret. At Thanksgiving time, shortly before her disappearance, she had gone to Washington to spend the holiday week-end with two girl friends. On Friday morning a bulky package resembling a rejected manuscript (which seems to have been forwarded from New York, though nobody knows how) was delivered to her; whereupon she suddenly called off her week-end visit and went home.

GREEN BACKING 40-HOUR WEEK Only Way Out, Says Head of A. F. of L. Necessity for shortened hours of labor, such as the five-day and forty-hour week “to reabsorb into industry the thousands of men displaced by new machinery and new developments” was cited by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement supporting the action of the United States Chamber of Commerce in advocating shorter hours to relieve unemployment. Green is in Indianapolis to confer with local labor union officials regarding overlapping work of millwrights and machinists. He will continue conferences this morning, returning to Washington later in the day. “We can not go on eternally increasing production and nullifying consumers," Green said. “Mechanized industry can lead only to shortened hours of work.” He asserted that the federation has been working for shorter working hours for several years and that the present interest in the problem is regarded as the climax of earlier activities.

THOUGH she never was very much of an admirer of men, she had had a love affair with a certain George C. Griscom Jr., a Pittsburgh engineer with whom she had become acquainted while attending college. He was 44 years old and a bachelor. It was learned that she secretly had met Griscom in Boston less than two months before and that she had pawned $500 worth of her jewelry for $60 while there. Griscom was in Florence, Italy, and Dorothy’s father and brother hastened there, hoping that there had been an elopement and that she would be found. Griscom, however, knew nothing of her whereabouts. It developed that on the day after Dorothy had so hurriedly terminated her Thanksgiving visit to Washington she had written Griscom a long letter—mostly a girlish, gossipy epistle, but in which this apparently significant paragraph appeared: “Well, it has come back. McClure’s has turned me down. Failure stares me in the face. All I see ahead is a long road with no turning. Mother always will think an accident has happened.” To this day, nobody ever has been able to explain what that ominous paragraph meant. Was Dorothy Arnold kidnaped? . . . That would be very difficult to accomplish on busy Fifth avenue at 1:45 p. m., when a woman’s scream would attract crowds and policeman in a hurry. Did she run away? . . How, where, why? More than $100,000 was spent by her millionaire father in the search for Dorothy Arnold. Her family finally came to the belief that she was dead. Yet, when Mr. Arnold died in April, 1922. and when Mrs. Arnold followed him to the grave in December, 1928, the mystery remained unsolved. It is still a mystery.

EARLY REPEAL ACTION LOOMS IN MESS House Judiciary Chairman Thinks Dry Submission Likely Next Session. BY MARSHALL M’NEIL Times SUIT Writer WASHINGTON. Sept. 28.—Indication that congress might agree this winter to submit the prohibition amendment to the people for a vote w r as given today by Representative Hatton Sumners (Dem., Tex.). 1 chairman of the house judiciary committee. This cautious Texan said he thought it “quite probable" that the prohibition issue would be submitted during the next session of congress, i “It is my purpose to favor such submission,” he said. Sumners’ statement is important because he is head of the committee from whence must come the bill proposing anew vote on the liquor law. Both Chairmen Back Wets It is significant, also, because this puts both chairmen of the two — senate and house —judiciary committees on the wet side. Senator Norris (Rep., Neb.) chairman of the senate committee, definitely announced as a revisionist and modificationist this week. Sumners has long been known by his intimates to be opposed to the presence of the Eighteenth amend- j ment in the Constitution. But last session he was one of the , leaders in the fighti on the Beck- i Linthicum bill, on the grounds that economic problems should be met before the liquor issue was put before a depressed nation. Says Question Is Ripe “Regardless of attitude toward the liquor question,” Sumners’ new statement said, "the position of the major political parties, and the other indications of public attitude and purpose, establish that it is a fact that the resybmission of the | Eighteenth amendment, as it usually 1 is stated, is a foregone conclusion. “Quite probably that issue will be submitted during the next session of congress. “It is my purpose to favor such submission. _ “The question is ripe. Tne national campaign will be over and it would seem as good time as any to get this question back to the people for the expression of their attitude and judgment with reference to it.”
