How m,lch?
Most of it from New York to Florida,
The boy said he Travelled: on the front end
of baggage cars He said he expected to
get killed in case of accident, but he pre-
ferred to take the chances rather than
walk.
Did you correspond with your mother
while you were away from homer" the

PEOPLE WHO ARE MISSING.
Police Asked to Look Out for Number
of individuals.

number of people, mostly boys, have
been reported missing from this city dur
ing the past few days. In Baltimore the
police have also been asked to look out for
a number of people alleged to have disap-
peared. John j. Timanus, who left MS
home in Baltimore Monday. has been the
cause of great anxiety to his friends ana
relatives His home is at Powhatan. ana
he has law offices in Baltimore and ToWson
Monday morning about o'clock he started
from his home to go to his Baltimore office,
and has not since been heard from. 1t is
stated that he had a draft for $500 in his
possession but the paper has not yet peen
presented at the bank for payment. The
missing man is twenty-eight years old ana
well connected.
Another of Baitimore's missing men is
Samuel Somers, seventy years OLD. he
went away Tuesday. He worked in ma
chine shop. and his failure to report for
duty Tuesday morning caused his fellow
workmen to make inquiries concerning him,
and they were informed that he had not re-
turned home that night. Foul play is not
suspected.
James Murmane, eighteen years old, is
also among Baltimore's missing people He
had never remained away from home over
night before his disappearance, more than
a year ago. The boys mother is greatly
grieved over his absence.
Eddie Ebert, the boy who disappeared
street northwest several days ago and was
found in Baltimore, is again a fugitive, and
the Baltimore police have been asked to
look out for him. When he went to Balti-
more several days ago he met some boys
there. and lived with them in an outbuild-
ing. where they had a gymnasium. An
other boy went away with him on that oc
casion. but he is thought to have gone
alone this time. He has relatives In Balti-
more, and no fears for his safety are en-
tertained.
The Ebert boy left home Sunday. His
mother found some cigarettes in his pocket
and when he admitted that he had been
smoking the mother said she was going to
burn the stock he had on hand. She sent
him to the shed to get some coal in order
to make a fire that would surely consume
the cigarettes. Eddie went out through the
back gate, and has not since been seen
about this city. He told some of his COM
panions that he intended to go to New Jer-
sey or to Boston
The local police have been asked to locate
Roger -McCarl. colored, fifteen years old,
whose home is said to be at 1854 Massachu-
sets avenue.

REPAIRS TO q STREET.
Superintendent of Roads Makes Re
port on Request Therefor.

The Commissioners have received a re-
quest from A. H. Semmes of 2206 @ street
northwest that q street between 22d and
Odd streets northwest be macadamized. The
superintendent of roads has reported that
the portion of. street complained of Is
worthy of something more than minor re-
pairs. Some old maeadam Is piled up at T
street and Massachusetts, avenue. and the
superintendent recommends that it be used
in the repair of the east end Of this street,
at an estimated cost of 500, chargeable to
the current appropriation for repairs to
roads.
To thoroughly repair @ street from I'D
to 25d streets and to Massachusetts avenue
is estimated to cost. by the use of broken
stone on hand within short haul and gravel
surfacing, about $500. The work outlined
as stated will await the paving of 22d street
between and Decatur streets. for which
a special appropriation will be available
after July /, 1903. In this square there is
a considerable quantity of trap and other
broken stone which can be taken np and
placed upon the street.

The Buffalo Tragedy.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
have read the dispatches from Buffalo
describing the manner in which Mr. A. r.
Pennell met his death, as published in
Wednesday evenings edition of your paper
and note that the tone Of the entire article
is such as would tend to make the aver
age reader believe that the affair had been
prearranged. Being an automobilist the
cause Of the accident is very plain to me
and 1 can see nothing strange in the fact
that Mr.. Pennell took bis wife for a ride
ON the gloomy afternoon when rain was
falling" The unfortunate man left his
office and likely feeling the need of fresh
air, it was but natural for him to prefer
riding in his automobile to walking in the
fer having his wife with him to riding
alone. The only witness says he looked
around and saw Mr.. PennelPs hat in the
air and that the machine then turned and
natural occurrence. When his hat blew
of, Mr.. Pennell reached for It, letting go
the steering handle. He may have struck
the handle with his arm, he may have
forced it slightly to one side in letting go
or the machine may have struck a stone
ND larger than an egg, any one OF which
would have caused the carriage 10 turn.
and as 1t was likely going twelve miles an
hour or more. 1t would have taken but an
instant for 1t to cross to the curb. I would
not think of letting go my steering lever
for an instant. SO easily is the course
changed when the carriage Is free. The
fact Of his going out on such an evening
Is given as very suggestive and mysterious
Last evening was the same here as in
Buffalo, but I went out in my automobile
for pleasure and went half way across the
Aqueduct bridge, then turned and came
back. Very mysterious doings, no doubt
Had my hat blown of and had reached
for 1t, resulting in my machine crashing
through the side and into the river, WASH
ington would have wondered why / had
selected such novel way Of committing
suicide. HORACE C. CHANDLER =

which took place this morning at ! /
O'Clock in Memphis. Miss Bradshaw

was joined there by Mr.. Murray anti
the marriage was quietly solemnized
at the home of Memphis minister.
The bride wore q simple travelling
dress.
Miss Bradshaw told only her family
and few intimate friends Of her in
sention to be married before leaving
here. She ostensibly started with her
brother on one Of his southern drum
ming trips, and this announcement
will be the first news of happy event
to many to whom 1t will be interest.
ing.
The bride is the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. E. r. Bradshaw and is one
Of Psducsh's most charming young
women. She was born and reared in
this city and her gracious and winning

CONSUMING POWER
OF the United States Increases
Rapidly.
Imports and Exports Show Phenom-
email Growth in Late
Years.
Is AN EXCELLENT SHOWING

The growth in the consuming power
OF the United States IN this period Of
business activity is illustrated by the
figures of the treasury bureau OF sta.
tistics showing the importations and
expectations by great groups during
the eleven months ending with May,
1908. These figures show that while
the expectation of manufactures has
increased only two million dollars as
compared with the corresponding
months of last year, the importation
Of manufacturers materials has in
,oreesed &c million dollars as compared
with the same months Of 1909 and
iel millions as compared with the
corresponding months of 1901. As il
can scarcely be presumed that the
manufacturers Of the country are I'm.
porting in excess of their present or
immediately prospective requirements,
II would seem that the increase in
manufactures which this growing i'm.
portstioa OF materials indicates is
being consumed at home. since ex.
portations OF manufactures for the
year show no material increase.
A rapid increase in the importation
of manutacturers' materials has been
the striking characteristic of the fiscal
year about 20 END. For the eleven
months the total value of manufao.
turers' materis ls imported amounted
to s451, 0sl, 1853, against 1854. 775, 1874
for the same months Of last year.
sS19. 524,95 for the corresponding
months of 1901 ana s363, 455, 072 for
the sane months OF 1900.

HYATT SEEN AGAIN
Noted Train RObber Reported
in Hiding Near jacksonville
Escaped from the Nashville Pen and
aS5.000 Reward Isa0fercd
for Him.
FUGITIVE HAS MANY FRIENDS

Madiscnville. KY, June 29-lt is
reported that Gus Hyatt, the noted
outlaw and train robbar, who in the
past years has won so much notoriety
in this section, has been seen by vari-
Gus persons in these parts again.
1t will be remem bered that Hyatt,
by the use OF explosives, blew a hole
in the prison wall OF the state peni-
Tertiary at Nashville last year and
freed several corvicts, standing the
guards off with two revolvers.
Hyatt has several friends in this
section, but more enemies than
friends. He is considered by tho peo-
pie of this section to b. equal to Harry
Tracey.
He put up one of the most daring
fights ever known in this section about
four years ago in Union county, when
deputy sheriffs OF that county andsix
or seven other men attempted to take
him into custody, which fght resulted
in the death of the deputy sheriff and
the retreat of the remainder of the
posse, and Hyatt went unin jured on
mis- why.
II was said that the hold-up of the
fast express between Guthrie, KY,
and GAINESVILLE, Tenn, was one of the
most daring train robberies ever be-
fore perpetrated, he single-handed TAX
ing eomplet, control of the train for
several minutes until he awaited him
self of all the money and vsluables on
board the train. This adventure led
to his arrest.
There is standing reward for his
arrest. and it is said the express com
panies will give $4,000 for him dead
or alive.
