Kas., never heard of again. 1883 Johnnie Navin, Boston, disappeared April 15 and never reappeared. 1894 Sophia Hasenon, Philadelphia, never recovered. 1896 Sadie and Martin Jamison, Newark, kidnapped on way to school, unfound. 1903 Edward Cudahy, Omaha, kidnapped and returned for ransom. 1909 "Billie" Whitla, Sharon, Pa., kidnapped and returned for ransom. 1913 Catherine Winters, Newcastle, Ind., kidnapped and no clue yet found.

NEWCASTLE, Ind., March 6. On the twentieth day of this month one year will have rolled around since little Catherine Winters disappeared from her home in this city, leaving not the slightest clue to her whereabouts. And although photographs of the missing child have been sent to practically every city of America and have appeared in newspapers and on moving picture screens from one end of the land to the other, her disappearance is the mystery it was on the day her distracted parents began the search. Catherine Winters was nine years old at the time of her disappearance and was declared by all who knew her to be unusually intelligent for a child of her years. She was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Winters, well known and respected residents of Newcastle. The child was last seen In the vicinity of her home at about noon on March 20, 1913. At that time she dropped out of sight as mysteriously as if the earth had opened up and swallowed her. For an entire year Dr. Winters has been engaged in a continuous search for his lost child. He has traveled over a large section of the country and has visited every place whence

Richmond Boy Tells Experiences A s Member of Submarine Crew

Like any other service of the sea,, the submarine branch has its hazards. Every day new thrillers are told of life at the bottom of the sea. One day it is found that the boat, is leaking, and then a quick run for the surface is made. Another day the boat sticks in the mud, and still another time the boat runs headlong into a coral reef, and, in fact a thousand and one things puncture the daily routine of diving. Speaking of accidents that make your hair stand on end and your breath leave you like the discharge of a sixteen-inch gun, the experience that occurred at Manila hay two years ago certainly caps the climax. Water Breaks In. The Shark was on one of her usual trial runs, just after leaving dry dock where she had undergone repairs on sea valves, and was running the bottom of the bay about one hundred feet below the surface, when one of the sea valves broke, letting in a stream of water about the size of a man's wrist. The salted water poured into the battery compartment and the chemical action between the acid and the salt water produced chloride acid fumes which are considered one of the deadliest of gases. "Blow amidship and adjust tanks." were the stern orders of the captain, and immediately the boat shot to the surface almost perpendicularly. The collier waiting near the scene of the quickly took the submarine in tow, and the crew, more dead than alive, was removed to the navy hospital. It

' NOTE Four years In the service of the United States submarine department were spent by T. N. Miller, a Richmond boy and hlB experiences in that service, of which little Is known by the mass of the people of the country, are related in a series of special articles written by himself. Miller is now engaged in the Navy Recruiting work in the Indianapolis dlsttrtct and often visits Richmond. He is an enthusiastic member of the Richmond Motorcycle Club.

waa almost a week before the men fully recovered from the close call, but they were ready for another dive when they stepped from the hospital. Stuck in the mud is another of the many fears of the divers. The mud, especially at the bottom of Manila bay, is extremely sticky and resembles quicksand in its powers gradually to bury things beneath its surface. Another narrow escape from death came one day when we were running awash in a high sea. It was one of the regulation departmental tests when each boat is supposed to travel at top speed for four hours. The bridge and upper deck were just above the water, and the boat was being propelled by the gasoline engine. Two others besides myself were on the deck making observations when a huge wave splashed over the boat, sending some of the water down into

the interior of the boat through the coning tower opening. , Air Shut Off. In order to prevent more water from entering the tower the first mate climbed into the tower and closed the heavy metalic cap. After the cap had been closed a few minutes the outside aSr supply was entirely cut off, and as only a part of the air tanks was filled the interior supply was rapidly becoming exhausted. As the engine chugged on, it gradualy consumed the available air in the interior, and at

the same time created such a suction pressure that the cap could not be raised from the outside. As the engine gave its last churg and died a quiver was felt along the sides of the boat as if it were parting. One of the men inside happened to remember that a small valve was located in the cap on the tower and mounted the ladder and opened the valve, admitting fresh air, but not until all had been given a good scare. The men in the boat were almost "all in" when the cap was released, but they soon revived and the boat sped on its way with a new thriller to break when it reached the station. Even in times of peace dangerous stunts are performed by some of the middies, juBt to make the crew's name famous. I have often heard and read of Midshipman Whiting, who, two

years ago, demonstrated that

Courtesy Indianapolis Star. CATHERINE WINTERS came report of anything that resembled a clue to the whereabouts of the little girl. Only a week ago he returned to his home here after a fruitless trip to Arkansas, where it was reported that a c hild resembling Catherine Winters had been found. A peculiar feature of the case is that neither parents nor the friends of the family have ever entertained any other than the kidnapping theory as a solution of the mysterv. Their firm belief that the child was kidnapped seems to be shared also by the authorities who have investigated the case, despite the fact that motive as well as evidence of kidnapping appears to be lacking. The gypsy theory has been refuted

by the certain knowledge that no '

KjpBies were in .Newcastle or its vicinity last March, a theory at first entertained that the grandmother or other relatives of the child living in Wisconsin might have been concerned in her disappearance likewise was proven absolutely without foundation. Other supposed clues led to Michigan, to Iowa and even to the Pacific Northwest, but nothing came of them. The offer of liberal rewards have brought no result. A special grand jury investigation of the case failed to develop any information of value. State and county authorities and the fraternal orders to which Dr. Winters belongs have lent their aid in the search. Dr. Winters, despite his long and fruitless search, still appears confident that little Catherine will be found. Others who are closely interested in the mysterious case believe that the missing child is living, but where, or under what circumstances, none can even guess.
