To create this high standard- a product must have for its foundation ideals so rugged and thoroughly time proven that commercialism of the present day, in other words the desire for more profit, finds no part in its makeup. Such a product fnlfifls as it were a law of nature whereby all. things will find their natural level and those brands have the same significance as the Hall mark of England or the Sterling nrark of America. La Touraine, The Perfect Coffee, delves far back into coffee history for those basic principles that have given this coffee its i- mense popularity.

If you have travelled in the far East where toe coffee abounds, you have discovered that in those countries coffee is always roasted fresh and never ground until ready to be de. This is a custom that has prevailed there for thoTitilds cf years and time will neter change it. You can enjoy all these ideals ar.1 customs if you insist upon "La Touraine."

For reasons best known to himself the man did not show up and the distriet attorney returned to New York tonight as empty handed of information -concerning Dorothy Arnold as when he bad left town. Mr Whitman declined to tell who his Informant was that he bad expected to meet in To print his name, he said, might prevent the man from coming forward again.

George S. Griscom Sr has written to Francis expressing regret that his son has been talking to the newspapers regarding Dorothy Arnold In the way he has. A letter of some length reached the father of the Millling girl this morning and Mr Arnold declared it to be the first communication he has had from Atlantic City since the Griscoms went there. "Mr Griscom wrote to say that he was sorry 'Junior had talked at all to newspaper men and to assure father that in the talking ha did do. he made no such definite etatements as those attributed to him." John V.

Arnold said this ernoon. Notwithstanding the personal advertisement inserted in a New York ewspa per, apparently by George S. Griscotn Jr. to the effect that he hoped to see Dorothy Arnold Tuesday. John V.

Arnold. her brother. said tonight that he had no idea the suitor's hope would be realized. "Dorothy is as much lost as ver." he said. A fact which strengthened the report that the Arnolds are still conducting a search for the girl.

was the hurried return of one of their counsel. S. Keith, from Newtown. Penn, teday. It was believed he had come to deal with some new and important phase of the case, but the Arnolds did not desire to make public the nature of his efforts.

When the Arnold family is supposed to have been at its summer home at York beach Me. and when the Oriscoms were at Nantucket. that Griscom Jr and Arnold met in Boston and were together every day- and evening for about a week. It seems reasonable to believe. also.

that it was in Boston that John W. 'Arnold. the oldest brother of secured the information which sent him posthaste to Europe to hunt up the younger Griscom and to demand from him an explanation of his conduct with respect to the missing girl. First Clew In Boston. Dorothy Arnold disappeared from her home at 11:30 o'clock on the forenoon of Dec 12.

having started out from the Arnold residence ostensibly to do some shopping. She did not return that night. and her alarmed family made Inquiries about.her among her friends. mostly girls who had attended Bryn Mawr college with Dorothy. but they could get no trace of her beyond the time when she left a 5th-av bookstore where she had bought a.

book which was charged to her father's 1 The family consulted its attorneys. and for about six weeks conducted a still hunt the missing girl. and it was not until the Arnolds had exhausted every private source of information seeking that they gave out to the public on Jan 25 the news of the girl's disappearance, coupled with the offer of a reward of 31000 for information which would lead to the discovery of her whereabouts. JOHN W. ARNOLD: Brother of the Missing GirL Late in December.

while the still hunt was going on. John W. Arnold came to Boston in search of a clew, and it was here that he found for the first time that his sister Dorothy had disregarded the advice of her family who disapproved of Griscom's attentions to her because of his age and that he was an Idler. and that she had been meeting Griscom without the knowledge of her family. It was here, too, that John W.

Arnold secured enough information. it appears, to cause him to hurry back to New York and with his mother to sail for Europe on Jan 5 in search of Griscorn; Girl's Ruse to Deceive Parents. The Globe'a cablegrams have already reported a stormy meeting which took place between young Arnold and Griscoin Jr. in a hotel at Florence, Italy. and of how young Arnold had knocked Griscom Jr down and had taken from one of his pockets a letter in Dorothy's handwriting, but the contents of which have never been divulged by the Arnold family.

Yesterday and last night a Globe reporter learned a great deal that young Arnold found out about the relations which existed between his sister and Griscom in Boston during the nearly one week in which they met daily. In one of the suburbs of Boston there lives a young woman who was a classmate at Bryn Mawr of Dorothy Arnold. and who was on excellent terms with her, and it is believed that Miss Arnold got away from 'her family et York beach in September on the respresentation that she was going to Boston to -isit her classmate. because Mrs Arnold let her daughter come on here without a chaperone. and with only about the amount of clothing any young woman in her position would require for a visit of a week with a college chum.

It was learned yesterday that Miss Arnold did call on her girl friend while she was here. but that she did not visit her, as her family thought she was doing. As a matter of fact Miss Arnold spent the greater part of her time in the company of Griscom and her to her classmate was merely a story formulated for home consumption. It is known that Griscom vas in Boston at that time and it was he who arranged for the room which Dorothy Arnold occupied during her stay here. Registered at a Boston Hotel.

The day before Miss Arnold arrived In Boston. or at least the day before she registered at hotel Lenox. Griscom went to that hotel. where hs is well known. and said that a coming to town for a few days and that he wished to engage a good room and bath for her.

The reservation was made and the next day. Sept 19. Miss Arnold arrived. escorted by Griscom. She registered in her own name and at the Lenox until Sept 24.

Every day of her stay at the Lenox Griscom was a caller. not only once. but usually twice and sometimes three times a Nearly every evening he and Miss Arnold dined together. usually at the Lenox, but stometimes at other places. and on a number of occasions they were out during the evening and would say upon their return that they had been to the theatre.

They returned to the hotel at an hour which lent an air of probability to the theatre story. for It was never much after 11 o'clock when they come In. At the Lenox last evening Lucius B. Boomer. one of the proprietors of the hotel.

admitted that be knows Griscom well. and that he has on several occasions been a guest at the hotel. but he did not appear enthusiastic over discussing the facts connected with Miss Arnold's stay at his hotel In September. no of Griscom's daily calls upon her and the attention he showed the girl. Mr Boomer said he was away in September and could have no personal knowledge of the matter under Inquiry.

Griscom and Dorothy Together. It was also learned that Instead of taking a room for himself at the Lenox.as has long been his custom when In New England on automobile or trips. Griscom In September stopped at the hotel Essex, but he spent little more time there than was necessary for him to do his sleeping. About all the other parts of the day and evening he was in company with Miss Arnold After Miss Arnold had disappeared her family began a mental survey of the past summer to figure Out where she might have beento meet Griscom. whose attentions to her were discouraged at her home.

and It Is believed that on recalling Dorothy's trip to Boston ostensibly to visit her college classmate that young Arnold came here to see the Bryn Mawr graduate Dorothy said she had been with. It is known that John W. Arnold did see this young woman, and when he learned from her that did t' .4 4. ii 4- -1---' '77-', I. 474 J--lkit-4 -5'' -7! ..1 4 ix r.1 i -f 5 ..4 1 11 2..

The fact that the bearing of Griscom toward Miss Arnold during her stay at the Lenox had been irreproarnable, and that he never saw her there except In the lobby seemed a matter of some satisfaction to John W. Arnold. but it readily occurred to him that if his sister.

getting away from home for a week An the pretense of visiting a college friend, had then clandestinely met Griscom and spent nearly all her waking hours with him. it mightsbe that Griscom would be a good man to see In the hope of getting a further clew to his sister, so young Mr Arnold hurried back home and the whereaboutsoof Griscom. who had gone abroad with his father and mother. was learned. Reason for Trip to Europe.

Jan 5. 20 days before the public knew that Dorothy was missing from her home, John W. Arnold and his mother sailed for Europe and went at once to the hotel in Florence, Italy. where the Griscoms were staying. Mrs Arnold was heavily wren they entered the hotel.

and young Arnold proceeded et once with his mother to the apart, ments of the Griscoms. where a violent quarrel took place. No one outside of the Griscom and Arnold families knows exactly what was said and done in the apartments of the Griscoms at Florence. and none outside of the members of those families knows what was in the letter, or perhaps that young Arnold obtained from Griscorn. for the Griscoms and the Arnolds have refused to talk en that phase of the case at all.

Thertt is no doubt as to the facts above related concerning the week-long rneettng between Griscom and Miss Arrold in Boston in September. nor that W. Arnold Jr came here and investigated the matter shortly before he rind his mother sailed for Europe in mearch of Griscom. and that he found the facts as here set forth. but the krnoM family has nevtr given the public any information concerning the imrortant Boston end of the romance, or the tragedy.

Some time ago Second Deputy Police Commissioner Flynn of New York city. who is in charge of the detective bureau. publicly announced that he and his men were through working On the case, because he was convinced that theArnolds had not told him all they knew concerning the case.

The facts which are here rciated are now seeing the light for the first time. and their publication bears out in striking manner the charge made by Deputy Flynn that he had not been taken fully into the confidence of the Arnold family. From time to time other facts which would have been of material value in discovering the whereabouts of Dorothy Arnold. and which- have been concealed by the Arnold. have been coming to lIght, so that the present protestations of the Arnold family that its members do not even now know where Dorothy Is.

are not everywhere regarded as being worth their full face value.

the father of Miss Arnold's admirer is one of Pittsburg's millionaires whei accumulated the greater part of his fortune through his connection with. Andrew Carnegie in the steel business. George S. Griscom Sr is a lawyer by profession. but he got the bulk of his money.

NEW YORK, Feb 13It Is said positively that the relatives of Dorothy Arnold hare solved the mystery of tier strange disappearance on Dec It The last active step which any of the family or their lawyers took toward locating the girl was when John W. Arnold.

her brother, in the company of a Philadelphia detective. visited a houne in Philadelphia in the vicinity of South lsth et a week ago Friday. The very next morning Dist Atty Charles S. Whitman. with the desire of aiding the family in its offered his services to the girl's father, and assured him that all the facilities of the office were at his disposal tor the purpose of finding the girl.

The offer was met with a curt refusal. Fearing lest his otter of services bad been misunderstood. Mr Whitman repeated it and told Mr Arnold that he would willingly set any or all of his detectives at work on the case. "Please don't, please don't." was the annwer of Mr Arnold. "'We are not.

looking for Dorothy any longer." The district attorney could hardly believe his ears. but the father of tho girl set all doubt at rent by repeating his request that' Mr Whitman take no action in the matter end assuring him once more thit the search for Dorothy Arnold bad ben abandoned. Nir Woitman returned to New. York tonight from Philadelphia and was esked ns to the truth of the report that Ilr Arnold had rejected his offer of eervices. "It is true." said Mr Whitman.

that offered Mr Arnold a week ago last Saturday all the facilities of my office to assist him in locating his missing daughter. I had been led to understand that there was some suggestion that the Arnolds -thought they had not received all the assistance they might have from the city alithorities In their search. "I made myself sure first that this was not the fact and that every possible aid bad been- given the Arnolds which they would accept. But I I thought it would be only fair to let them know that if there was any way In which the district attornei's office could be useful I was attheir disposal. Accordingly I called up Mr Arnold and told him I was ready to help.

particularly assured him that if there was the slightest suspicion that any crime had been committed I was ready to trail the thing to the bitter end regardless of time and expense. "I talked to Mr Arnold over the phone and never thought but that I would receive the thanks pf the for tee offer to assist him. Instead he exclaimed to me Over the wire: 'Please don't; please don't. Mr please don't. We are not looking for borothy any more I did not stop to what might be the reason.
