Hot on the Scent at the Grand Hotel
Britz learns an Oriental handkerchief was left on a hotel balcony and suspects the Maharanee jewels are aboard a ship or on the move. He orders a citywide manhunt to stop Oriental-looking travelers by boat or train and to monitor ferries, steamers, and Grand Central Station. Doctor Fitch meets him as plans proceed. The piece closes with a note on an agricultural college teaching immigrants.
