the Trust Company OIL the Republic, to the
extent that it had been silent and quiet I'M
der the shipbuilding charges and state
ments, had changed its position and in

his better half was delivered. In the letter
she gave her reasons for having left home
and said she was dissatisfied with life in
Anacostia. The letter had been mailed at

Capt. Boardman was shown the letter

then detailed Detective Berman the
case. and the officer is doing what he can
to assist in tracing Mrs. Gutenberg.
The missing woman is twenty-eght years
old, but looks several years younger. Peo-
pie in Anacostia regard her being
handsome, and she had many admirers.
She has dark complexion, black hair and
large blue eyes. When she left home yes
terday she was attired in a gray walking

live on Ashland avenue, Baltimore. and her
husband has communicated with them. 1t

LEAVES HOME AND BABY.
Mrs. Gutenberg Goes Away Without In
forming Husband Of Intentions.

People in Anacostia are discussing the
troubles of Henry Gutenberg. the baker at
151 Harrison street, whose wife, it is said,
went away and LEFT him with five small
children. Mrs. Gutenberg. it is said, left
home last night a short time after sun
down. and her husband had no explana-
ton of her abseneeguntil the mail this
morning brought him a letter from her.
Then he hurried off to police headquarters
to interview Capt. Boardman. The baker
was in an excited frame Of mind when he
reached headquarters. He stated that 1t
was about o'clock last night when he
last saw his wife. About that time she
handed her baby over to colored domestic
to care for, stating she was going to see
a doctor in the neighborhood. So far as
the husband has been able to learn the
doctor was not consulted by her. 1t is
believed she boarded an Anacostia electric
car instead and came to the city
Hour after hour Mr.. Gutenberg waited
and watched for his wife to return. What
had become of her or what had happened
to her he could not imagine There had
been no trouble between them and when
morning came the distracted man had al
most abandoned hope of ever seeing his
wife alive again.

II might add that no engineer of any
repute or any commission appointed by the
government has ever reported that the

"In making this statement to you have
no desire in any way to artayoniZe the
proposition to build the canal at Panama

Nicaragua route is undoubtedly feasible,
and that the gentlemen who undertook the
construction of a canal VIA this route were
in no way mislead or deceived regarding the
practicability of their scheme. If the Pan
anna route is finally chosen it should stand
on it's own merits. apd not on the ground
that 1t is the only alternative because of
the impracticabilityuo of the Nicaragua

others By means Of patented apparatus, in
vented by DR.. Edward Koch, the yapors are
breathed into the air tubes and reach the deep
places in the lungs that never touched by or
binary medicines and they heal the diseased spots
They soften the membranes, making them
throw off their diseased coatings As the lungs
are healed they are strengthened. The pains in
the chest, back and sides disappear. The strength
returns The improvement Is wonderful that the
patient can hardly believe his senses
The physicians Of the Koch Lung Cure prove that
they cure with this treatment by the statements of
many sufferers in this city who have been cured.
Health seekers visit those persons TO learn the
story OF their recovery. With their improved meth

canoeing and sailing. In the winter it will
be used for hockey and skating.
