VENT FAMILY STILL HOPE
Latest Story Says MOonshiners Were
not Enemies of Missing Millionaire
and So.CaIIed Squatters Were
his Close Friends.

Stonega, Va, Nov. 30.-Although the
Wentz family seem satisfied to give up
the search for Edward l. Wentz, the
young Philadelphia millionaire who SC
mysterously disappeared from bis home
at Big Store Gap October II, there is still
diversity of opinion as to bis fate.
At any rate, the Wentz family seem at
ease, but whether they are resigned to
fate or have received favorable news con-
corning the young millionaire remains to
be seen.
Nathaniel B. Wentz, brother of the
missing man, said: ave still cherish the
the hope that Ed. will be restored to us
aliye and well, but at the present the
systematic search instituted the day fol-
lowing his disappearance is abandoned
We still have a number of shrewd New
York and Philadelphia detectives at work
on the case"
Daniel B. Wentz talked IN way show
ing that he was in the best Of spirits.
Friends who have been kept closely in
touch with the Wentzes assert that they
have found the missing man in a south.
ern town, but this is denied.
DR.. Wentz, the father, has returned to
his home in Philadelphia, and the MEM
bers of the family in Wise county have re-
sumed work, while all goes along as usual
in the coke manufacturing plants of the
estate.
Perhaps the most plausible theory eyer
advanced is flat for some ieason, best
known to himself, young Wentz went
away, perhaps on some love mission and
is now we'll and hearty.
The fact that young Wentz carefully
closed his doors and left bis fayorite dogs
in their kennels--a thing he never did be-
fore is proof positive that be intended |
going away on some mission and is not
by unfriendly mountaineers.
Upon these grounds the kidnapping
theory would also seem to be unfounded.
The truth is young Wentz left home on
his own account and not on business for
the Virginia Coal and Iron Company, for
which he was general manager, as was re-
ported. He left no Instructions as TO
where lis family could reach him over
-elepho ne.
The McDaniels, of moonshine whiskey
anne, held no enemity against young
Ventz, while the so.called squatters on
he Wentz estate were all close friends of
he young millionaire. Evidently he was
lot murdered. There is no reason to be-
ieve that his body was thrown into coke
wen, as it is ten miles from the scene
# his disappearance to the nearest min
ng town.
Young Wentz's thousands of friends
till hope that he will soon be returned.

TO RECTlFY THEIR BLUNDER.
Efforts of the CoIombians to Overcome
Results of Their Action of Treaty.

Washington, Nov. 9O.-It is learned
that MIR. Beaupre, our minister at Bogota

from the Colombian Government since
the publication of the last correspondence,
each containing some indirect method Of
rectifying what the CoIombians themselves
now regard as fatal blunder of permit
ting the Hay. Herran treaty to expire last
September.
Mr.. Beaupre for his part is using bis
best efforts to make it clear to the Colon.
bian officials that the treaty is dead be-
yond resurrection and that he cannot
even conduct negotiations looking to the
acquisition from Columbia Of right of
way across the Isthmus, located in an in
depent republic, over which Colombia has
no authority.
