HALL IS MISSING
Comes to the City With Load
of Hay and Disappears.
TEAM LEFT OUT ALL NIGHT
No Trace of the Missing Man
Has Yet Been Found,

Considerably anxiety IS felt in the family
of Fisher Hall, and in police circles as
well. over the mysterious disappearance OF
a voung man named Earnest ". Hail.
Who drove into Wichita from a farm six
teen miles east Of the city, on TUESDAY.
with a load Of hay. the team being left
hitehed in an alley for twenty-four hours
hack Of Blakeman Bros fish market, and
M trace Of the missing man has ceen
found since
The young man Hall came in with the
load Of hay, followed by his father VINO
drove another team that was hauling
load of corn. When the couple reached
the city they separated, according 10 the
fathers story, ard young Hall drove Onto
The CITY sca-es located on North Fourth
avenue to have his hay weighed, and gave
the name Of Hall. He took his weigh
ticket and drove across the street and
hitched his team Of mules, leaving rs
gloves and fork on top Of the hay. and
went 10 the home OF his mother, VINO
lives in the BayIess block, on North Mar
ket street, where ne ate his dinner, and
before leaving stated 10 his mother that
he had sold his hay 10 DR.. Johnson, the
weather man, and would put his team up
after delivering it and return home.
Nothing has since been seen OF him. The
team was found yesterday at noon by Of
fcer Remspear, standing in a weary con-
6ition. hitched where Hall had left ii
twenty-four hours before. The mules,
bay and a sorrel. had stood out all night
with their harness on and were in a very
distressed condition when discovered BY
the officer, who took them to barn on
Emporia avenue. where they now are
awaiting their driver. The mans gloves
and the pitchfork were still lon top Of the
load when it was found and they were
taken to the home Of the young man,
where his mother recognized them as be-
longing to her missing son.
Mrs. Hall was in a very anxious frame
OF mind when seen by a reporter for the
Eagle. She could not account for the mys-
terious absence of her son. She said
Ernest was a very steady young man and
Of exemplary habits. and that be did lat
drink. She added that he was in excellent
humor when he left home after eating din
nsr, and she could not understand what
could have happened 10 him.
The police have been searching the city
ever since the notice Of his disappearance |
was brought to their attention and since |
the team was discovered and taken 20 a |
stable. The father Of the boy could not |
be found. as he was out searching all day |
for his missing son.
The family own large farm sixteen |
miles east of the city and live here during |
the winter months, driving back and forth |
hauling the product of the farm in to /
market.
Up to a late hour last night nothing had /
been learned OF Halls whereabouts and the
is still enshrouded in a deep
mystery. The police think the man will
probably turn up as they see no reason
Tor believing that there mas been any foul
play. though the young mans parents both
link there is a deep mystery connected
with their sons sudden disappearance.

SUPERIOR JUDGES GET
A RAISE In SALARY

SAIL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 22.-AssembIyman Dibble
wound up two weeks of hard fighting to-
day by pushing Senate bill 90, by Curtin,
through on its final passage in the Assem-
bly, with more votes than he needed to
his credit.
Senate bill Sc provides for a raise of $1,000
per annum in the salaries of the Superior
Judges of San Francisco Tuolumne and
Shasta counties, and probably no meas
ure that has come into the Assembly has
met with more or stronger opposition
The country representatives were
against it for the reason that their coun-
ties were not in on the deal and. because
of pledges of economy made at home thew
could not get them in.
Melick pulled figures on Judge Dibble TO
prove that country Judges did more work
and got less money than the jurists In the
city, and Belshaw of Contra Costa want
ed to prove the same thing. Johnson.
who was backing the bill at first got mad
at Mcdonald of Tuolumne, who was also
interested, and vented his spite by get
ting up and ripping out speech against
the proposition. He did no harm how
ting Contra Costa on the list, but it was
voted down, and he withdrew It when
Dibble demanded to know If he had in
PRODUCED 1t in good faith. Radcliff of
Santa Cruz and Cobb of San Francisco
backed Dibble strongly and the San Fran
cisco delegation spread itself over the
floor and worked on every one who stood
out.
When 1t came to vote 1t got almost a
dozen more than 1t needed. though a call
of the House was necessary to accom-
plish It.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 22-Maior Frank Nc
Laughlin has fallen. For f1fty-two
days and fifty-nine ballots he has man
aged the Senatorial fight Of Dan Burns,
and those who seek to dishonor Cali
fornia by giving Mexican Dan seat
in the United States Senate fear that
Mclaughlin will not succeed In his
management. These people have deter
mined, therefore, to change managers,
to depose Mclaughlin and lift Hervey
LindIey to the vacant throne.
The change is an incident of greatest
significance in the Senatorial campaign,
as it is made at a most critical time,
and means that the Southern PACING
Company, determined to elect its can
didate, fears that success cannot be
won under the management of Frank
Mclaughlin.
1t means, also, that the corporation
which employs Mclaughlin and con-
trolls Burns has decided that McLaugh-
lin is too expensive luxury to suit cor
poration tastes and does not render a
service commensurate with his pay.
Hervey Lindiey, the successor of Nc
Laughlin, Is old in the employ of the
railroad, understands the policy of his
employer and Is familiar with the
methods necessary to carry out that
policy.
The episode of McLaughlin's man
agement of Burns is interesting. Nc
Laughlin is chairman of the Republi-
can State Central Committee. and in
that capacity has much to do with the
direction of party affairs and the sug-
gestion of party candidates. Shortly
before the Legislature convened Nc
Laughlin took occasion to express his
opinion forcibly on the candidacy of
Dan Burns for United States Senator.
Mclaughlin declared that he had heard
that the railroad intended to force Dan
Burns upon the Republican party as a
United States Senator. Mclaughlin
declared that this was an outrage and
! altogether too bitter a dose for the
party to swallow. Notwithstanding
these assertions Mclaughlin became
and remained until to-day the man
ager of Burns fight for the United
States Senate. He avowedly accepted
that position, if he did not arrogate it.
as other followers of Burns claim that
the Mexican has no manager and keeps
his secrets to himself.
Mclaughlin has been, however, the
central figure in the Mexican's cam
paign If he has arrogated what was
not his own his arrogance has been ac-
cepted. He was, to every observer IN
til to-day, the manager of Dan Burns
This management was not satisfactory
In the first place, although in the re-
suit to be achieved of secondary con-
sideration, Mclaughlin was too eXpen-
sive The railroad spends money to buy
results. and there was no result except
failure in the management of Dan
Burns campaign. After fifty-nine bal
lots have been taken and every artifice
known to corrupt politics has been used
Dan Burns has gained only three votes
each vote stamping upon it's giver a
mark of shame. That is not a result
the Southern Pacific Company contem-
plates with equanimity.
The corporation began to make very
serious and searching inquiries to de-
ter1nine the cause of the failure of their
plans and of the management of Nc
Laughlin. The affair is one of moment
to them, as tools in the United States
