YOUNG MARRIED WOHAN
Is STRANGELY MISSIEG
disappeared While on Her Way From
Philadelphia 10 Visit Chesapeake
Civ Relatives

The Police and Detective Depart
ments. of Philadelphia and Whining
ton, have been asked to make a vigor-
Gus search for Mrs. Althea Melton, who
mysteriously disappeared last Thursday
either in Philadelphia or while on her

City, Md. The missing woman resided
with her husband and 12-year-old
daughter at No. 1446 Point Breeze ave-
nue.. Philadelphia.
Mrs. Melton. who is of a quiet dispO-
sition. is 2S years old, and has never
before been away from home without
her whereabouts being known to her
husband. SO strange is the case that
Mr. Melton fears that his young wife
has met with foul play or with a seri-
ous accident. There was nothing about
her clothing that would lead to her
Identification.
~ For Several Weeks
For the past several weeks Mrs. Mel
ton had been i'll. Her husband told her
TO take a vacation, and she decided to
visit her parents. All arrangements for
her departure We're made and on
Thursday she left after writing fare
well note to Mr. Melton. On her way
to the station she stopped at mis- place
of employment, had few minutes talk
with him and kissed him goodbye. Ac-
cording to her husband she was then
in the best of spirits and told him that
she would write just as soon as she ar
rived at her parents home.
Mrs. Melton carried grip and had
enough money to pay her expenses. On
Friday, when Mrs Melton did not ar
rive. her daughter, who is visiting her
grandparents, wrote a note to her
father inquiring why her mother had
not reached Chesapeake City. Startled
by the letter the husband Immediately
telegraphed his daughter and received
a reply stating that her mother had not
yet. arrived. Melton then telegraphed
to several relatives of his wife, but
none of them had seen her
When she left home Mrs. Melton
was attired in a polka dot dress. She
is about five feet two inches tall, light
lcOmplexioned, with light hair and mad
three of her upper teeth extracted. A
description of the woman has been
sent out and the police are doing all
in their power to locate her.

SALISBURY NO
LONGER PREMIER
Marquis Presents Resignation
to King Edward
A. ]. BlLFOUR HIS SUCCESSOR
Chamberlain Was Regarded As Most
Promising Candidate Changes
in Cabinet Expected

London. July 14.-The Marquis OF
Salisbury has resigned the premier
ship Of Great Britain, and Right Hon
A. J. Balfour the first lord of the
treasury and government leader in the
house of commons has been appointed
to succeed him.
The Marquis of Salisbury rendered
his resignation at an audience which
he had with King Edward last Friday.
Saturday Mr.. Balfour visited the king
and accepted the premiership.
While it was expected in official and
political circles that Lord Salisbury's
retirement would be coincident with
the coronation of King Edward, it was
scarcely looked for prior to that event.
Consequently about the only surprise
expressed as the news spread through
London concerned the date rather than
the fact of the resignation. The real
interest was not so much in reference
to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal as it
was in the appointment of his sue
cessor.
The liveliest speculation is rife as
to the personnel of the new cabinet.
The most discussed feature of the pend
ing changes is the position of Mr..
Chamberlain (the colonial secretary,
who in many quarters has been re-
garded as the most promising candi-
date for the premiership.
As to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal,
the main reason is considered by .prac-
tically all the best informed persons to
have been simply desire for a quiet
life on the part of a man advanced in
years, whose activities have been un-
usual, and whose scientific tastes pre-
dispose him to study and seclusion.
That the retiring premiers health has
failed to some extent is undeniable;
but this is not more than perhaps 1t
is to be expected in a man Of his years,
and the close of the war in South AZ
rica and the return of the commanding
general there, is considered to be an
appropriate time for his withdrawal.
Washington, July 14.-The appoint
ment of Mr.. Balfour to the English
premiership will not result in any
change in the existing relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. This is the opinion of state
department officials, who express the
opinion that Mr.. Balfour will be as
much disposed as was his predecessor
Lord Salisbury, to continue the friend
" relations between the two countries.
