Small Dies in Toronto Hospital, Creat- ing Temporary Furore in City WAS THIRD "FIND" OF MISSING MAGNATE Disappearance of Millionaire Theatre Owner Eleven Years Ago Still as Mys- terious as Ever (By Canadian | Pro " "Lensed Wire) Toronto, July 3,~The official police statement contradicting the rumor that the unknown aninesia victim who died in a local hospital was Ambrose J. Small ends another of the numerous false alarms that have a- roused the police and citizenry of Toronto, since December 2, 1919, when Small, after completing a mil- lion dollar merger walked out of the theatre he owned here, bought a pa- per from a newshoy on the street and vanished from the sight of men, The standing reward of $50,000 for information of Small's whereabouts dead or Alive, the thousands addition ul offered by the family to chase all available clues and the interest af- forded to cranks in the novel my- stery have all helped to produce mo- mentary furores over the "discovery" of Small, Three "Smalls" Found Detectives and circulars have coy- ered the civilized globe since Small's disappearance and have only result. ed in appearance of a number of men bearing some resemblance to him, The man who was picked up on the streets of Toronto recently, broken and wandering in mind, was the third to be "identified" by some momentarily reliable witness. Some yearmago another man confused with Small turned out to be John Dough- ty of Des Moines, lowa, while the other was nameless like the one who lies dead in the local morgue. The name of John Doughty, pri. vate secretary to Small has entered the case in many curious ways and the statement by a bedside watcher that the patient in the hospital here kept mumbling "John Doughty" led to the theory of his identification with Small, Police Late on Trail At the time of his disappearance the family of the millionaire thought he had gone off alone on a trip as he had done before and the police were late in starting on the trail, One year after his disappearance a 'local garbage dump was dug up in an effort to verify the theory that he i had been murdered and buried The irony of his disappearance on that December evening lay in the fact that Small had just completed a million dollar sale of his theatre in- terests in Canada in a deal that mar. ked the climax of a .hrewd career in the theatrical management, The boy who came from an Ontario farm to be usherer in a Toronto theatre had battled his way to riches against the sharpest minds in the show game Many are the stories, not all of them complimentary, that are told of Small's encounters with rivals from New York City and elsewhere, Thousands Are Killed in China of Men and Money in Civil War (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Nanking, China, July 3,~~A pies ture of Nationalist China being drained of its blood and money by the civil war against the North. arn Alliance is disclosed by a sur. vey of various officlal quarters, Fighting along the Halehow- Tunghkwan railway the Wst ten days is estimated to have cost the Nationalists 80,000 oasunities, ins cluding 10,000 killed, Financial eireles estin ate tho cost of thiy battle to the Nationalists at $1, 000,000 Mexican (about $850,000) a day, not Inefuding oxpendituros for munitions, Honpitals of Nanking and Pukow bear evidence China's wars no longer are fought with umbrellay ond silmlar harmloss instruments os generally belioved concerning BODY OF AN UNKNOWN MAN FOUND IN TORONTO, IS NOT THAT OF MISSING MAGNATE CONSUMPTION IS ONTHE RUN, SAYS NOTED AUTHORITY Good Prospects of Wiping Out T.
