The two children have been advised by James W. Ragsdale, American consul-general at Tientsin, Ching, that their father lived. at Top Flat 17, Elgin Road, Hongkong, China," up to March 2, when he left for Paris. Attached to Consul-General Ragsdale's letter was a newspaper clipping" calling atten- tion to O'Neil's disappearance. The missing man in known to have a brother in Paris and. the children have written their uncle and cop. fidently await news of their father, t

William O'Neit was a small boy when his father disappeared. As years went by the son formed a determination to hunt for his parent Last winter the young man corresponded with chief of police in scares of cities and caused a notice of the disappearance to be inserted in newspapers. One of these caught the eye of

the consul-general in China Neither of the *their father's failure
