Trail of Gold
Only Clue Left
by Alaska Man
Man Believed to nave JTd
$100,000 in Pocket Dropa
From Sight in
i New York.
New York, July -(ny A. P.)
A trait ot gold, leading out of
Greenwich Villige to an uptown
hotel wn the nnlv thing left to
connect Alva L. Kendall, Alaki
miner, with hit haunts of more than
a year. Kendall disappeared last
Wednesday and when he went, it U
believed by a friend, he had $100,
000 in hit rocket.
lie dropped out of eight in the
busiest tectinn of Fifth avenue. A
clerk in I jewelry More, who knew
him, got a fleeting glance of him
bout 5:15 in the afternoon. No
one can be found who hat teen him
iinre. ,
7 he trail of gold was ricked up
In the home of Mrs. Mary P. Smith,
where Kendall roomed. Mn. Smith
aid he often paid his room rent in
gold and showed at least five $10
gotd pieces to prove it. Across the
street the manager of a cigar atore
had one of the sold pieces, and
taxi driver who often drove the
Alaskan, had another. Up at the
Pennsylvania hotel a bell boy had
one, given him ai a tip, he said.
Made Fortune in Mines.
Mrs. Smith said yesterday that she
knew very little about her guest,
He was silent on hip experiences in
Alaska, she said, but she believed
he had made nearly $300,000 in gold
mining. Kendall liked gold, she
said, and he carried a large portion
of his fortune in his trunk all in
sold. And it was because he liked
to carry and use gold pieces that his
trail on the last day he had been in
New York was followed like an
open book.
Kendall slent Tuesday in the
Pennsylvania hotel. He had slept
there on two other nights. Mrs,
Smith said, because his room at her
house was being renovated, Tuesday
night he gave the bell boy a tip
the $10 gold piece. He appeared in
normal condition, the boy said.
Wednesday morning he returned
to Greenwich Village and gave a
cigar store man a $10 gold piece in
payment for two boxes of cigars,
which he took with him. The cigars
are not at Mrs. Smith's house and
tbere was no trace of them at the
hotel.
After that purchase he walked
across the street and had dinner
with Mrs. Smith as usual. At 3:30
he said he was going up to Forty
eighth street and Fifth avenue to
have a diamond reset. The jewelry
store there has no record of doing
work for him, but at least two
clerks knew him. One of them,
Thomas A. Howland, said that a
little after 5 he saw Kendall ap
proach the store, stop for a minute
in the doorway and then walk south
rapidly. That was the last that has
been seen of him.
Kendall is said to be about 38
years old. In 1911, Mrs. Smith said,
he played halfback on Princeton's
football team, but there is no rec
ord of a Kendall on that team. He
weighed about 190 pounds and was
5 feet 11 inches tall.
In New York Year.
Almost a year ago he came out
of Alaska to the Smith home. He
deposited most of his fortune in a
bank she does not know the name.
Then he ret about enjoying New
York.
Last Monday, she said, he drew
some money. How much she does
not know but on Wednesday, she
said, he showed her three $1,000
bills, saying he had 97 more like
them in his pocket. For that reason
the fears something may have hap
pened to him, although she admits
the possibility that he may have gone
back to Alaska, as he complained of
the summer heat here.

Break in Hague
Conference Is
Narrowly Averted
Meeting Threatens to Split on
Question of Treatment of
Confiscated Property
in Russia.
Hague, July 8.-(By A. P.)-The
Hague conterence, following the dra
matic pathway of Genoa's famed
conclave, came very near a rupture
yesterday, the issue on which the
conference threatened to split bins
the treatment of confiscated property
in Russia.
What Russia proposed to do in the
way of restitution, as explained by
Maxim Litvinoff, the Russian spokes
man, fell like a cold shower on the
expectant delegates. Sir Philip
Lloyd-Oreame, the British delegation
member, arose and declared it was
perfectly absurd to continue the dis
cussions unless more satisfactory as
surances were forthcoming. Only M.
Krassin Krassin the Conciliator."
as he is beginning to be called saved
the day by suggesting madly that
controversial matters be left aside for
the moment and a real effort be
made to find a common ground
based on mutual advantage.
I he difficulty started at the after
noon session of the conference, when
M. Litvinoff read a list of oil and
other concessions which Russia was
ready to give to foreigners. Mr. Cat
tier. Belgium, susjeested it would be
nice" if M. Litvinoff would exnlain
which of the properties listed were
under torcign ownership previous to
their confiscation and that foreign
properties were excluded from the
list.
M. Litvinoff replied that he could
not say whether the properties be
longed previously to foreigners or
Russians. It was difficult for Russia
to identify foreign enternrises: all
that could be done was to publish the
list and let foreign owners identify
their property if they could.
Former Russian Duke
Evicted From Flat
New York, July 8. Once wealthy
and members of the Russian aris
tocracy that was. the Duke and
Duchess Malik-Shanhanazaroff and
their two children were evicted from
their humble apartment in Brooklyn
oy ineir lanaiora, s. Kanowski.
Kanowski said they were ' two
months behind with their rent.
Not knowing where to turn, the
refugee family remained on the side-
alk with their effects until after dark
when the janitor of the house in
which they lived took pity on them
p.na permitted them to sleeD on
blankets on the floor of their empty
apartment.
Today the duchess, sole bread win
ner of the family, went to her work
in Manhattan as a needlcworker
while the duke, who is ill, and his
sons,' Zavan, 14, and Soss, 7, searched
in vain for fellow Russians who
would give them financial assistance.
