and hours in delvlng among the dusty and

Mr.. Tolls recent digging has been in the

considerable time to the preparation Of

shows that the expenditures for these pur-

have reached point where In the neigh

her mother-in-law. So far as can be learned
there was absolutely no cause for dissen-
ton between Mrs. Van Dyke and her hus-
band, and they had always lived happily
together, the only adverse circumstance
being her continued i'll health.
Mrs. Van Dyke was endeavoringlto dis
pose Of ranch at Fallbroook. San Diego
county, where they had resided some five
years ago, previous to returning to Texas,
but her efforts did not meet with success.
On Thursday. the 18th. she decided to go to
Whites office and try to secure larger
house than the one on Avenue 80. She told
her mother-in-law to 60 to friends house
for the day, and both the boys were sent
away on erronds, previous to her departure,
some time between 8 and o'clock In the
morning. She locked up the house and
walked several blocks to the Daily street
car line. stopping first at the residence of a
neighbor, to whom she offered to sell some
cucumbers. A woman answering the de-
scription Of Mrs. Van Dyke got on Daily
street car No. III to ride toward the busi-
ness part of the city. The motorman re-
members the circumstance Of her boarding
the car, but does not recall at what point
Mrs. Van Dyke left 1t. She appeared to
him to be weak and feeling badly. This is
the last trace of her, as she did not call at
the real estate office.
Three explanations present themselves
for her disappearance. She may have de-
liberately planned to desert her family, and
one or two circumstances rather tend to
prove this. The only photograph taken in
recent years, which resembles her, was
found to have been defaced badly. A piece.
taking away the eyes, nose and part of the
mouth, had been torn off of the photograph,
interfering materially with securing good
idea Of her appearance by means Of that
likeness. 1t was also rather strange that
she should send away the other members OF
the family before she left the house. 1t is
possible that she intended to mutilate the
photograph in order to prevent any circu-
lars describing her from being sent
out, and she did not care to have
anybody there to interfere. On the
other hand. had the woman intended
to leave the city, she would have been apt to
have provided herself with as much money
as possible. She did not do this but left
her watch, some jewelry and SO in gold at
the house. Her mother-in-law thinks she
had but Sc when she went away. The fact
that Mrs. Van Dyke had had i'll health for
years past gives rise to the theory that she
may have become demented and wandered
away
This seems the most plausible reason for
her disappearance She was apparently
feeling bad when she boarded the car,
and the day was also very hot. 1t is also
possible that she may have met with foul
nj HIT fo ie ho hid
enemies, and there is no reason to think
that she has been murdered. Her husband
arrived in the city from Texas last week to
search for the missing woman. The like
ness which Is produced of Mrs. Van Dyke
is taken from two photographs which were
secured from her family.

MISSING MRS. Van DYKE
MYSTERY SURROUNDING HER
'nSAPPEARANCE
Left Home Two Weeks Ago and No
Trace Of Her Has Been1 Found.
Fear Of Suicide or Foul Play

Two weeks ago Mrs. John e. Van Dyke
Of SS1 Avenue 80, East Los Angeles, started
for the office Of Ben White, a real estate
agent, but since then no trace has been
found of her. She vanished as completely
though swallowed by the earth, and every
attempt of her husband and family to To-
cate her has proved unsuccessful. They
are becoming daily more and more appre-
hensive lest some harm has befallen her.
About four months ago Mrs. Van Dyke
left Texas and came to this city to reside,
as her health was poor. With her came
her two stepsons. while her husband re-
manned in Texas to attend to business in
terests. She rented the little place on
Avenue 80 and lived there with the boys and

covering of lamp at his head. The mis-
s.le did not strike its mark, but hit their
little boy in the face. This did not cause
the woman to stop, and at last Officer Baker
was called.
Baker succeeded in quieting the woman
temporarily, and Botello suggested that
she be taken to the home Of her parents at
$40 Buena Vista street. A carriage was
called, but In the meanwhile the patrol
wagon, which had been summoned by
neighbors, also drove up so Mrs. Botelo
had the choice Of two varieties Of con-
veyances. The carriage was chosen and she
and Baker were driven to Buena Vista
street. The woman refused to leave the
carriage and struggled with the officer and
her relations. She was finally taken to the
police station. where she was charged with
disturbing the peace.

David, Not Daniel

In yesterdays account of the trial of Da-
vid Mckay, who was convicted of cruelty
to animals Wednesday night in the police
court, an, unlntentional injustice was done
to worthy and respectable person-one
Daniel Mckay, shoemaker on Temple
street. The report said that 1t had been
Daniel, instead Of David. Mckay who had
been convicted. and TO this Daniel, the
shoemaker, takes exception. Through a
mistake on the part OF the officers or some
enc else. the name Daniel Mckay appears
IN the complaint filed in court. when it
should be David

PARK COMMISSIONERS
No Quorum for Their Weekly Session
and No Business Transacted

The park commissioners were all truant
but two yesterday, and one Of the two came
in too late for business. There were num-
Dor Of matters to be brought UP, but under
the circumstances only one matter was
mentioned. Park Superintendent Carey
reported that the new water pipe line to
Hoilenbeck park has been completed at
cost Of $376.72. .F17aS
This line Is $50 feet long, Of eightAnch
steel pipe and IL laid along st. Louis street
from Bird street to Brooklyn avenue on
Boyle Heights. It provides for the under
ground transmission Of water which has
been flowing on the surface in open bitches.
Mrs. Elisabeth Hollenbeck some time ago
made proposition to the board that If It
would make the improvement she would
pay $3.50 toward It as a consideration for
the better service It would give her. This
leaves the net cost to the city only $26.72.

THAT ANNUAL BUDGET
Council Still Hard at Work With It but
Making Slow Progress

All day long yesterday did the finance
committee Of the city council continue to
pore over the figures Of the annual esti-
mates, examining each and every item for
the places where reduction could be made.
How successful they were win not be known
until the final report is ready. and that will
probably not be before Saturday.
1t Is a foregone conclusion. however. that
the argument presented by the school board
on Wednesday in support Of Its claim to
more than 100000 made favorable i'm
preston on the committee, and II anything
can be done toward acceding to the boards
request It certainly will be. Under the
circumstances, however, 1t is difihcult to see
much chance for the police department to
realize in It's pet scheme. viz, the installa-
ton Of police, telegraph system and OUT
fitting Of the force with uniform revolvers.
