PHILADELPHIA, Jan. l.-Desplte deep
snow tho parade of the Murmmers, of New
Year's shooters, the feature of Philadel
phia's New Year celebration, was held tu
day as usual and great crowds turned ou.
to see the spectacle.
' The fancy costumes of the kings, prince.,
and Jesters were as gorgeous aa any ever
worn In history. There were many floats
burlesquing Important events of the last
year, such as the discovery of the North
pole, the woman suffrage movement and
the campaign against trusts.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1. Diligent search
by many private detectives aided by the
police of Philadelphia, New Yrk and
other eastern cities has thus far failed to
disclose the. whereabouts of Roberta De
Janon, the 16-year-old heiress, and Ferdi
nand Cohen, a waiter at the Bellevue
Stratford hotel, who are believed to have
disappeared together last Wednesday.
While letters In the possession of Cohen's
purporting to have been written by the
girl show a strange fascination for the
man, the police are working on a theory
that there may have been another motive
oonnected with the dlsappearanoa of the
pair. It is said Cohen's wife knew of
the attachment between the man and the
girl for some time. Ferdinand Do Janon,
a New York stock broker and father of the
girl, and William Bulst, the grandfather
of Miss De Janon, believe the girl Boon will
be found.
The police have sent broadcast a minute
description of the missing couple. Miss
