LONDON. April 16.—After thirteen
day* of flne-toothcomb searching on
the Continent, Joseph Wllberforce
Martin, the Memphis millionaire who
disappeared mysteriously in this city,
has not yet been traced to the place
where his captors secreted him when
detectives got hot on their trail in
Lambeth yesterday, although Detec
tive William J. Bums believes he will
be located soon.
There was great excitement early
to-day 1« the neighborhood of Picca
dilly when the police raided two re
sorts and arrested fifty gamblers on
the theory that some of them may
have been connected with Martin's
disappearance or may have some
knowledge of it.
Trailing Woman Now.
Scotland Yard sleuths are trailing a
woman known as "Baby Ruth” who.
from her record, may possibly have
some connection with the case, it
was alleged.
Both the private and public detec
tives are convinced that a woman is
implicated in the disappearance of
the rich American and both squads
are working along this line.
The Lambeth and Kensington dis
tricts of London are swarming with
detectives, searching for the house
where Martin is said to be held cap
tive by a band of kidnapers
Call for Mr. Sherlock Holme*!
According to a well-established
theory, Martin was decoyed by a band
of card sharps whose members are
known to the international police.
The Arkansas land deal which Mar
tin put through on the eve of his
strange disappearance involved $6,-
000.000. Mr. Martin was said to have
a large sum of ready cash in his
pockets when he dropped out of sight.
Amateur detectives are attempting
to employ Sherlock Holmes method*
of deduction from the known facts
and from the circumstances attend
ing the finding of Martin's opera hat.
pocketbook and watch chain.
The suggestion has been made to
J. Lockhart Anderson, the English
friend of Mr. Martin, that he lay the
facts before Sir A. Conan Doyle, the
creator of Sherlock Holmes, and ask
Sir Arthur's aid in running down the
kidnaping band.

Atlanta Banks Are
Not Burdened With
Unclaimed Deposits
Georgians Never Forget Where Their
Money Is—Illinois' Problem
No Worry Here.
Atlantans never forget that they
have money in the bank, if they have.
Unclaimed funds in the hands of
Atlanta savings banks are said to be
much smaller than in other cities of
the same size.
The Georgia Savings Bank and
Trust Company, which is the oldest
strictly savings bank in the city, has
less than $500 unclaimed, according
to Joseph E. Boston, secretary and
treasurer, who has estimated the ag
gregate of unclaimed funds in the
city as less than $2,000.
Illinois legislators are said to lie
wrestling with a bill which proposes
to turn over to the State bank ac
counts unclaimed for seven years,
and the news caused a smile of
amusement among Atlanta bankers.
"Georgians aren't so forgetful.” said
Mr. Boston. "When we Georgians
have a few dollars in the bank we
never let that fact slip our memories.
And if a man dies’ you may depend
upon it that his relatives know where
his money is."
