Mrs. Buxton, Hes in the disappearance
OF two books, one on civil engineering
and one relative to the naval service,
which books were taken from Mr.. Bux-
toms room the night he went to Chi
cago. Mrs. Buxton had been aware
for some time that her son had been
approached by some one to enter the
naval service, and she also knew that
he considered the proposal In a very
favorable light. He talked much of
the navy, and at all times showed q
disposition to enter the service. He
secured the two books above men
toned and spent much time in reading
them. These two books were the only
articles taken from the room when he
left, and why he took them is some
what Of a mystery.
While it cannot be said that the dis
appearance Of these books furnishes o
very strong clue to work upon, 1t
certainly puts somewhat different
light upon the matter. When Mr.. Bux-
ton went home to dinner Friday night,
he knew that he was going to Chicago
that same night He did not tell his
mother of this, although his office as
sociates knew of 1t. He went to his
room, spent a few minutes there, and
then left the house, going directly to
the depot, as he must have DONE orr
account Of the little time he had to
spare He took with him no clothing,
whatever, simply the books upon naval
matters, a subject which had taken
up much of his time prior to his de-
parture.
Mrs. Buxton still has hopes that her
son will return to her in the very near
future. She receives word daily from
her son-in-law, DR.. Rush, of Chicago,
and that gentleman holds out much
encOurag cement. No expense, whatever
it being spared to locate the missing
man, and detectives are at work upon
every clue. There seems to be abso-
lutely no cause for Mr.. Buxton to be
in hiding, and that he has either met
with foul play or has become tem-
pOrarily unbalanced is the generally
accepted theory

NEUTRALITY LAWS IMPERATIVE,
UNDER A DECISION OF THE
FEDERAL COURT,
CASE OF THREE FRIENDS.
CEEDINGS SUSTAINED BY JUDGE
LOCKE,
If Not Reversed the Finding WIZ
Permit the Open Aiding of Cuban
Insurgents.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 49,
Judge Locke, of the United States
court for the Southern district Of Flor
ida, rendered his decision this morning
in the Three Friends case upon the ex-
ception of the defense to the libel of
the government for violating neutrality
laws. The point was raised by counsel
for the defense that, inasmuch as the
Cuban insurgents had not been recog-
nized by the United States government,
they were neither people nor a body
polite, as defined by section $685. I'M
der which the libel was drawn. This
was sustained by Judge Locke, and the
district attorney was given ten days in
which to file an amended libel. The
point was one that had never been
raised before.
Washington, Jan. 18.-The officials of
the department of justice were unwill-
ing to discuss Judge Locke's decision
today in the case of the suspected fill
buster, the Three Friends, beyond the
statement that if the judge at the final
hearing sustains todays decision an
appeal will likely be taken to the Unit
ed States court of appeals at New Or

decision is to the effect that the in
dependence or belligerent rights of the
Cuban insurgents not having been rec
ognized by the United States, they are
not Estate, colony, district or peo-
pie" within the meaning of the sec
tons of the statute under which the
libel was brought Although these sec
tons in the revision of the statutes
are placed under the title neutrality"
that word does not appear in the act
itself
The original act was passed in 1894
and was entitled IAN act in addition
to the act for the punishment of GER
tain crimes against the United States"
In 1918, during the Monroe administra-
ton, this act was revised and the
words foreign prince, state, colony,
district or people were inserted, with
view to making 1t apply to the South
American insurrectiOn then in progress;
but the question of whether, in fact
these designations properly apply to
the Cuban insurgents or others in a
like situation never before has been
decided by the courts.
Should Judge Locke's decision be sus-
talned by the court of last resort il
would appear that every inhibition
in the act against fitting out hostile
expeditions of every character against
a foreign state with whom the United
| States are at peace becomes of no eff
feet. These inhibitions are against en-
lfsItment, acceptance of commissions
to serve foreign state, people, etc.
and declare that all such vessels, to-
gether with their cargoes, ETC., shall
be forfeited to the United States. The
question decided by Judge Locke, there
fore, is of the highest Importance, as.

All the time the great steamer kept

forging along through the reasonably
calm water just as if nothing had hap,
pcned or was going to happen. There
had been one day of rain and one night
! and part of a day of storm, Saturday
morning broke, and it was expected
that some time in the night Queenstown
would be reached. Early on Saturday
morning the clouds looked lowering, as
they have right TO look near Ireland.
Wentworth, the cause of all the worry,
gave Kenyon very little assistance in the
matter that troubled his mind. He was
in the habit when the subject was re-
ferred to, of thrusting his hands into his
hair, or plunging them down into his
pockets, and breaking out into Ian
guage which was as deplorable as it was
expressive. The more Kenyon advised
him to be calm, the less Wentworth fol-
lowed his advice. AS a general thing,
he spent most of his time alone in very
gloomy state of mind. On one occasion
when the genial Fleming slapped him
on the shoulder, Wentworth, to his great
astonishment, turned fercely round and
cried:
IF you do that again, sir, I'll knock
you down."
Fleming said afterwards that he was
completely fabbergasted'' by this.
whatever that may mean, and he added
that the English in general were a queer
race.
1t is true that he gathered himself to-
gether at the time, and, having laughed
little over the remark. said to Went
worth:
Come and have a drink: then you'll
feel better"
This invitation Wentworth did not
even take the trouble to decline, but
thrust his hands in his pockets once
more, and turned his back on the popu-
lar New York politician

matter to John Kenyon when he said:
