BOY WANDERS FROM HOME
Arthur Head in the City in Search of His
Son.
Belief That the Lads Intention IL tS
Enlist-LOcal Police Given
Description.

Mr.. Arthur Head, a resident of Towanda,
Pa, called at police headquarters this
morning and conferred with INSPECTOR Mat
tingly concerning mis- son, Joseph>A. Head,
who disappeared from his home aweek
ago. Last night Representative Codding
of Pennsylvania called on the police and
asked them to take an interest In the case.
Description is given in a circular as fol-
lows:
Bright, Intelligent boy; seventeen years
old: height about five feet six inches;
weight about 130 pounds; light complexion;
light gray eyes, and light hair. Had on
when last seen good blue-black cheviot
suit, red sweater, dark gray overcoat,
soft black Fedora hat, black pointed shoes,
black and red necktie, linen marked with
his name or initials
Mr.. Head, the father Of the missing boy,
is very much worried over his sons con-
duct. Last Thursday night the boy retired
about 10 O'Clock, as usual, and before 60
ing to sleep he requested his sister to put
a lighted lamp in his room, which she
did. Nothing more was heard of him dur
ing the night but the next morning he
it developed that he had gone away. Soon
afterward a note left by the missing boy
was found.
'.Discouraged of School"
The note reads:
II have left town. I am discouraged of
school and everything else. don't know
where 1 will CO. but 1 will go somewhere.
Don't make any attempt to follow me.
Don't worry. If all turns out well, will
let you known how / am getting on. Hard
ly know why l am doing this. An ire
sistible force inside me is compelling me
to do it,"

his brother to care for his chickens.
MIR. Head was away from home attend
ing court at the time, but he was notified
of his sons disappearance, and hurried
home and then started in search of the
missing enc. Although Joseph had not dis
cussed the subject of war to any extent,
his father had an idea that he might have
concluded to enter the service. He went
directly to the recruiting station at League
Island but his son was not among the
new recruits there. After some little de-
lay he learned that a companion of his
son in Towanda had received a letter from
MIN.
Declines to Give Information.
This letter was written at Newark Del.
The boy who received the letter refused to
produce it or reveal the nature of its con-
tents. Mr.. Head then went to Newark
and made inquiries about his sons pres
ence there. He was told by railroad men
that the boy had been there He had
boarded the midnight train at Towanda
without having purchased a ticket, and
this had caused delay in the investigation
of his movements.
The lad rerained about Newark for a
brief period. leaving on a train for this
city the same day.
When he left home he had about $40 in
his possession. and the police are Of the
opinion that until this is gone there is but
little hope of finding him. When he gets
hungry and tired, it is believed he will
be glad to return home.

THE EGG ROLLING.
White House Grounds Given Up for
Annual Holiday.

Notwithstanding the war excitement. the
President has not forgotten the children
of the District, and has already given the
necessary orders for opening the grounds
Of the White House for their exclusive
benefit Easter Monday. He has also ar
ranged that there shall be music by the
Marine Band on that festive occasion,
provided the elements are favorable. so
that rothing will be omitted that can con-
tribute TO the unalloyed enjoyment of the
boys and girls of the District in their egg
rolling and other pastimes ON the coming
Easter holiday.
The Presidents wishes in this matter will
be put into execution by Colonel Bingham,
the engineer officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds. The fact that the
band will be present will be a source of
general rejoicing, as its music is one of
the pleasantcst features of the day. Dur
ing the administration of President Cleve-
land there was a noticeable absence of
music at these annual gatherings, but with
that exception the Marine Band has al
ways been present.

Three Councilmanic Candidates
Leave the Fusion Ticket.
PoPuLisTs MAKE A GAIN OF TWO


Three men named as candidates for the
ety council by the fusionists have been
withdrawn from the ticket and their
places filled by the joint campaign COM
mittee. By the operation the Populists
gain two couneiimen and the Silver Re-
pubiicans and Democrats lose one each.
The fusion ticket, with the new names
supplied. viii be filed with the city clerk
this morning.
The three men who have been forced Off
the ticket are: r. l.. Hodgdon, Silver Re-
publican, Of the Fourth ward: Albert
Mueller. Democrat, OF the Sixth ward:
and s. w. Pitman. Silver Republican, of
the Eighth ward. The objection to these
men was that they could not comply with
the qualifications OF councilmen as laid
down in the city charter. Section 4 Of
article OF the charter contains this lam
guage:
Except as otherwise provided in sec-
'ion of this article, no person shall be
eHg-oie FOR councilman unless he shall
nave been a citizen of the United States
ana a resident and elector Of the city for
az least TOUR years next prior to his eiee-
ION. ana no person shall be eligible for
eiec'ion by the electors Of any ward I'M
less. in addition to the above REQUIRE
ments. he shall have been n resident of
me ward from which he Is elected and a
ifeehoider of the city for at least two
years next prior TO his election"
IN making their nominations for coun-
Cliiheh III the wards named. the fusion
lists overlooked the requirements of the
Shsfier' 1t is said that Mr.. Hodgdon
lacks just two weeks OF complying with
the requirements to residence in the
ward from which he had been nominated.
Albert Mueller. the Democratic nominee
IN the sixth ward. met the same fate
NOT having resided In the ward 4 sufficient
length or time to make him duly qualified
NO statement concerning Mr. Pitman
mas been given out, further than that he
failed to comply with the terms OF the
section of the charter quoted
In place of Mueller In the Sixth ward
the campaign committee has named Har-
ry Il. Drees, formerly secretary of the
Popui.st city committee and at present
employed In the county auditors office
Mr. Drees Is Populist. If he is elected
he VIII hold two offices. thing which the
progenitors or the Populist party alb
horred. Ii is possible that Mr.. Drees does
not believe that he will have to run
counter TO party traditions in this man
ner, owing 10 the strength and probable
election of his opponent, the Republican
nominee.
In the Eighth ward J. II. Hemer a bar
Der, has been named in place OF Pi,man
Hemer is a Populist.
A candidate 10 succeed Mr.. Hodgdon
Will be chosen today and his name placed
on the ticket
