New England and Canada Po lice Searching for Fern Hallian and Family’s Chauffeur. ELOPED, SAYS HER FATHER Descriptions of Couple Sent to Many Cities, with Orders to Arrest Girl and Prevent Her Marriage. Special to The New York Times, BOSTON, Mass., July »—An alleged elopement which has stirred the police of New England and Eastern Canada to activity became known today when J. H. Hallian, a Boston business man, whose Summer residence is at Hull, issued a frantic appeal for aid in the search for his daughter, Fern Hallian, 18 years old. Mr. Hallian said the girl disappeared last evening under circumstances which caused her parents to fear that she had eloped with Louis Kiseman, 23 years old, of the West End. He has been em ployed by the family as a chauffeur for about a year. I am anxious to have the couple ar rested before they get married,” said Mr. Hallian. ‘ Myne left her home early last evening to attend a moving-picture show near the Bayside station, and when she had not returned at a late hour we began a search for her, because we were anxious for her safety. We learned that she had been seen walking in Nantasket Avenue at 8:45 P. M. in the company of Eiseman.”’ Beyond that fact, the only thing learned by Mr. Hallian was that the couple were driven in an automobile to the Boston Maine Railroad station. “We have asked the police of all cities in Maine, chiefly Portland, and those of Montreal and Quebec to be on the watch for them,’’ said the father. ‘‘I am anxious to have them arrested, to pre vent their marriage.” Describing his daughter, Mr. Hallian said: “Fern is 5 feet 11 inches tall and she wore a black gown, white tennis shoes, a shaggy yellow automobile coat, and a white Panama hat having a blue and white band about it and with a rubber band under her chin. She also wore a green veil about her hat and around her neck. . . “Tf do not believe my daughter had more than $3 or $4 in money, although she wore some very valuable jewels at the time she disappeared, she had on two very valuable bracelets, a signet ring having her initials, ‘F. H.,’, upon the shield, and there were two valuable diamonds set one on each side of the shield of the ring. She also wore rings set with amethysts, turquoises, an opals. “ Biseman had considerable money to his credit in savings banks, because he was frugal, and I fear the young man has drawn this money from his banks and carried it away with him to fi nance the proposed wedding trip. He is short and stocky and has a promi nent nose. While telling of the disappearance of his daughter Mr. Hallian was greatly excited, and he said with emphasis: “Understand me, I want the help of the police, the public, and the newspa pers in the search for my missing daugh ter, and I insist that she be arrested when found and detained until I can reach her and take her into my charge.” Miss Hallian was active in the social life of the Summers colony at Hull and very well known in Arlington. Her father is a wealthy Boston business man.
