REV. TwAMLEY DISAPPEARS.
Assistant Rector of Annapolis (Gd.)
Church Missing since Sunday.


Special to The Washington Herald
Annapolis Feb Annapolis is much
puzzled over the disappearance of Rev.
W. T. Twamley. of this city. who has
been missing since Sunday morning.
Shortly after I O'Clock on Sunday he
left the Hotel Maryland 10 attend his
early service at Eastport This was the
last seen Of him, as he did not reach ST.
LUkes Chapel his mission charge. No
trace can be found of him after he passed
out Of sight OF the hotel clerk He car
ried with him at the time small satehel
which generally contained his vestments,
which he kept at the hotel, except when
he used them during services.
The matter was kept as quiet as pos
sible by the missing mans friends. To-
day, however. statement was given out
by Mr. McComas. in which the fear is
expressed that Mr. Twamley may have
fallen into the waters of Spa Greek.
which he had to cross to reach EastpoTt.
The belief expressed that the missing
clergyman took a train for Baltimore at
West Annapolis Station WAS strengthened
tonight. when A. Contee Thompson. Of
Washington, D. c., student at ST.
Johns College, told Rev Joseph z. Nc
COmas. rector of St. Anne's Church, that
he saw Mr.. Twamley shortly after Z
o'clock Sunday morning crossing the rear
campus Of the college going in the direc-
ton of the station. IL is now generally
believed by Mr. Twamley's friends that
his mind has been unbalanced by a recent
attack Of Ia grippe.

IL is contended that Alexandria, by
reason Of its seniority among the cities

lation with the early history Of the coun-
try, should have a prominent place among
the exhibits descriptive Of towns and
cities. It is urged that action should be
taken not only to present the historical
associations of Alexandra, but % set
forth the progress Of the city and the
advantages IL offers I'M the commercial,
manufacturing and industrial sense. The
matter, it is understood. will be brought
to the attention Of the local chamber of

1t is probable that the question Of ar
ranging for suitable representation Of
