The American Consular author- ities in Shanghai have com- municated with the office of the Governor-General in Manila, re- questing that a close look-out be kept for the absconding man.
According to information, Kearns was last seen in Shanghai on November 5, and was thought to have taken passage on the "President Grant" when that vessel made its trip to Hong Kong and Manila. It was, however, later revealed that while a ticket had been purchased for that liner under the name of Kearns, the latter had not been found on. board during the vessel's trip, and the belief was entertained

The exact shortage found against Kearns could not be de- finitely ascertained at the time the alarm was sounded, as audit- ing of his books had just com- menced when he disappeared from Shanghai. It is, however, estim- ated to come up to a large figure.
Kearns, according to informa- tion, is around the age of 34 years, of a pleasant personality, exceptionally intelligent in ap- pearance, but of an ordinary car- riage. He is a man of average height, and modest in his dress.
