Mr.. Howard p. wilkinson, Of the Is
land, has been missing from his home
since Friday evening. He was secre-
tary OF she West Virginia Tobacco
Company, the manufacturers OF me
Red Letter tobacco. and was also audi
tor for the city water board. ne na s
been auditor also OF tho city gas p 2no \.
when W. II, Fee succeeded George heli

an expert accountant OF unusual SKILL
a methodical man, against whom no.
body has q word OF scandal, even unueF
the peculiar circumstances. II ne was
eyer anything but a man OF the strict
est integrity and pureSt mind nobody
knew IL. His financial affairs were
straight and prosperous and his domes-
tic relations apparently peculiarly EEL
icltous. All OF these facts deepen the
mystery OF his sudden disappearance.
lie was busy with his accounts on
Friday, and told his wife that he would
not be home TO tea. He ate lunch NJ
cafe and then got the tobacco COM
pany's mall from the postoihce ana
went to the works at the corner OF Eolt
and Eighteenth streets. he lett q
number OF checks in his desk, and also
q bill from a New York house With
which his company had had dealings.
He had disputed the Justice OF this bill
md demanded n rebate. On II he had
endorsed, do not pay this. We DO
not owe It" This has been thought ny
some people to show signs of premedi-
tntIon in going away. but Il IS the only
aIIght Indication that such O thing
might be possible.
He got on Bridgeport street car late
Friday evening and went 20 the emo
OF the Hne. He stood out on the front
platform and smoked. The motorman,
ex.PolIcemhn Paul Porter, who knows
him very we'll indeed. talked to him
oil the why over, and noticed nothing
strange in his manner. That was the
last time that anybody who knows him
has been discovered 10 have seen him:
He had no vices that would lead him
astray. and nobody has even o susges-
ton of a theory as to why he might
lenve home. For several weeks, how
over, he had complained OF severe nett
ralgIc pains In his head. and he re-
marked to Porter on the car that his
head '9elt queer" II 10 feared by his
family that he Is suffering from mental
alteration due to physical causes, or
probably due to mental exertion and
the worry incident to the opening Of the
years business. It Is certainly one Of
the most mysterious cases ever rec
orled anywhere. The theory OF foul
play Is scarcely tenable. and the Idea
that he met with fatal accident Is
about as unreasonable. for neither
theory accounts for his going to Bridge
port. It Is hoped he may be heard from
to-day. His relatives have telegraphed
to every point where II 10 thought pos
sIble he might have gone.
