STILL HOPE FOR
RETURN OF WENTZ
No Satisfactory Theory Of His
Disappearance and the Family
Know Nothing.
(special TO The Times. DlspatclI.)

Especial to The Times Dispatch.)
BRISTOL, TENN. April 3o.-It was on
the 18th day of October, 1905, that Ed
ward L. Wentz, the young millionaire
coal operator, disappeared or the Black
Mountain, in Wise county. Virginia. AL
though more than six months have pass
ed since that fatcful day, it may be stat
ed on good authority that from the hour
when young Wcntz was seen riding along
the public highway near the village OF
Appalacha, at the mouth of Roaring Fork
gorge. on the day m disappeared, Moth
ing whatever has''beGn seen or heard of
him, and his strange disappearance is as
much mystery to-day us 1t has been at
any time
There was an impression that young
Wentz had been found III a demented
condition. and that the family had Sc
cretly committed him to an asylum for
the insane, but this report seems to have
1sscn without foundation.
Col. G. f. Nimson, who was raised in
the community where the Wentzes were
brought up. and who knows the family
well, states that he krows positively
that the Wentz family know absolutely
nothing of what became of the missing
son left Pennsylvania for the south n
month ago, rothng whatever had been
heard By the family, Of the fate of Ed
ward l. Wentz
From all that can DO learned there is
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1904-05-01

no satisfactory theory us to the probable
fate OF the young man, All investigation
reYerts back TO the starting point. to the
Hateful hour when the young mar dis
appeared,
Notwithstanding the entirely hopeless
aspect of the case. the family has not
given up hope. Correspondence In the
otfice{of the attorneys Of the family here
shows that the search has not been abar-
doned, and that detectives are still on
the alert, trusting in the final triumph
of the detectives art, which so seldom
encounters a mystery that carnot in
some way be mastered Perhaps more
puzzlins case never presented itself in
the history of this country.
Rewards aggregating $4,000, with hun
drcds of shrewd men anxious rot only
10 gain the reward money, but particu-
larry anxious for the reputation OF hav-
ing unraveled the mystery, it has still
rot shown the least sign of Yielding to
the cunning Of the best detectives.

Some interesting criticisms have re-
suited from the performance In Berlin
Of THE Master q comedy by Her
mann Bahr, a brilliant Yiennesc critic
The play Is in three acts. and deals
with the character Of a physician who
believes himself to be SO superior to
other men that he thinks he has a
right to transcend the morallties Of

not convincing and that a japanese,
Dr. KOkoro, who has been sent byih bis

CULTIVATION OF sPoNeEs.

DIR. Evermann in the National Geo
graphic Magazine, Washington-An
interesting investigation now being
carried on in Florida by the bureau of
fisheries has for its object the diseov-
cry and development of methods by
which the valuable sheepswool sponge
may be cultivated artificially
The method which promises the most
satisfactory results is that of using
cuttings. Large sheepswool sponges
are cut into small pieces, which are
fastened to an insulated wire fixed in
the water, so that the sppnges are sup.
ported few inches above the bot.
tom. These small bits, placed at close
intervals along the wire, soon heal ano
form an organic attachment to it. and
very soon begin to grow. 1t is too soon
to predict just what the results will be,
but the indications are so far very en-
couraging, and it is believed that the
time is not far distant when the sponge
fisheries of Florida will be vastly in.
creased in productiveness and value.
