He Met Foul Play In

Relatives of z. p. Fitch. the Council
Bluffs man who disappeared in England a
few weeks ago. rave had no word of him
forthcoming. The search Of London hos
pitfalls has been totally t~ruitless and the
terrible conviction is forcing itself on rela-
tives and friends that he met with foul
play. The last item Of information about
him vas that the letter he gave to some
one TO mall while on the train between
Dover and London was not mailed until
two days after he CAV 1t. This letter gave
the news that he intended to go to a hos
pital at once for an operation for appendi-
citis. The delay in mailing the letter may
signify nothing more han cerelessness on
the part OF the unknown man who mailed II.
Relatives and friends in Council Bluffs
have appealed to Governor Garst to aid in
the search for him. In compliance with
the request Governor Garst has set In mo-
tion the state machinery to aid in the at
tempt TO locate the missing man. Through
the state authorities the State department
at Washington will be appealed to and
the English government will be petitioned
to make. an extra effort to discover the
missing Iowan.

COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia. Dec. 2-To the
Editor OF The Bee: Every day I am on
fronted by the spectacle Of some one look
ing down upon and belittling the waitress,
who. through no fault OF her own, must
walt upon any one who happens to patron
lie a public dining room. There is no APP
parent reason for this. for in this age the
world should admire the worker and no one
in a legitimate line OF existence should be
subjected to sarcasm or ridicule.
Waiting on table is one OF the few lines
OF work In which women may ne independ-
ent for the average wage OF IS a week and
board, and the tips received, enable them
to live as they should. SO why should
they be sneered att Adventure and excite
ment are lacking in the life Of the watt
ress and she often has to work in a much
less pretentlous building, but the facts are
that she is paid better than the shop girl.
My advice is to admire all who work.
We are all servants of one another, so one
has no advantage over another. II Is only
false custom that has led to the idea that
the shop girl is above the waitress.

Names ON street-.

OMAHA, Dec. Ito the Editor Of The
Bee: How 1 pity thDse visitors that will
come to Omaha to the corn show II they
want to find locations in Omaha So few
names OF streets up, especially in the bust
ness sections. So few, comparatively, num-
bers up. One wants to find what block
ne is on. and in some usine blocks one
has to look a good deal to find a number
up that will inform him. Business men
are very particular to have lumber and
street on their stationery-cards, letter.
heads. billheads. etc.--but very frequently
neglect to have that number over their
door so one can locate them readily, and
then one frequently wants to jot down
the location OF a certain store. They will
find the name up-perhaps a long, Jaw
breaking o~ne-which indicates nothing as
to location, and of which he cares moth
ing. But the number, which II up he could
jot down quickly, he looks In vain for.
Their perhaps Of a Sunday he will want
to- 20 to church and will look in the city
directory to find the location of the church
and will find. for Instance: christian
church, 26th st S W cor Howard; First
Methodist, n W cor 22d & Dodge" Then
he wonders where under the heavens How
ard and Dodge streets are. After here
.twenty-four hours he gets on to the num-
bered streets. He thinks; "Well. perhaps
this directory will tell me, somewhere be-
tween its covers where these streets are"
But why! whyi could they not just as
well give the number Of T~wenty-sixth
street the Christian church is on, and the
number the First Methodist is on Twenty
second street? Then he could know how
far north or south, how many blocks from
the center OF Dodge street they are. The
numbered streets indicate location. but
Howard. Davenport, indicate no location
to a stranger. II the directory makers
would always give the number of the num-
bered street, and then put in Corner
Howard" or whatever street corner it is,
they would make a great improvement in
their directory. 1t would then be a direc-
tory that would direct without circumlo-
%oution. In fact, would save the work and
space OF putting on the street corner. as
the number would indicate the corner.
Yours respectfully,

200 Perish at Sea.

Valetta, Island of Malta, Nov. Co.
Nearly two hundred persons, passen.
gers and crew of the Ellerman line
steamer Sardinia, are believed to have
perished yesterday when the steamer
was destroyed by fire just after she
had sailed for Alexandria, Egypt.
The Sardinia was scarcely a mile
off Grand Harbor when fire appeared.
with strong wind to fan the flames
the whole ship was soon ablaxe and the
passengers and crew had scarcely a
chance for their lives.
There was a wild scene of panic as
flames drove the passengers to the
rails, and many of the excited ones
not even waiting for the boats to be
lowered, plunged into the sea. Scores
are believed to have been drowned
Others trapped by the fire, were liter
ally roasted to death or smothered
without chance for life
Many crafts in the harbor several
tugs and other swift, small vessels
rushed to the assistance of the imper
lied liner. The high sea and half a
gale, which prevailed at the time, how
ever, made it impossible for them even
to approach the Sardinia, and they
could do little in the way of aid.
The Sardinia left Liverpool Novem.
Der IA with a cargo of general mer
chandise for Mediterranean ports.
Her crew numbered "A and about 20
first class and six second class pas.
sengers embarked at Liverpool.
Most of her other 200 passengers
undoubtedly were Levatines, Maltese
and Egyptians.
Up to o'clock yesterday afternoon,
so bodies from the Sardinia had been
brought ashore.

DEATH LIST 1926.
Is CoRPSES TAKEN OUT OF MINE
BADLY MANGLED, MORE THAN
100 STILL IN MINE.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 30.-Twenty-flve
bodies, all but two of them horribly
mutilated, were taken yesterday from
the mine Of the Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal
Company of Mariana, 40 miles south
Of here, where an explosion occurred
Saturday, killing many men and cast
ing into gloom what was until then
considered the model mining town of
the world.
There is no doubt that the death
list will reach 1873 men, Officials of
the company, who stated that not over
125 had been killed, admit that 1873
men went down the shaft to work.
1t Is possible that the exact number
killed will never be known.
Two women, a wife and a mother
of entombed miners, became insane
tonight One tried to throw her elf
down the mine shaft, 480 feet deep.
The state constabulary rescued her
and carried her away.
Mrs. Joseph Holmes, whose son is
in the mine, went insane in the crowd
soon afterward. Crying that her son
was killed, she sank to the ground
and went into commissions.

The valuation of railroad property has
fallen off about s4,OO0,O for the year,

the worlds auto drivers, assisted by
the most skillful mechanicians. driv-
ing the most powerful and speediest
cars on earth America, Italy, France
and Germany sent their best men and
cars here, and the winners will be
hailed as worlds champions.
Accidents during the preliminary
tests of the racing cars have shown
that even the splendid course, espe-
cially constructed for the race, is not
free from the possibility of serious
accidents. In justice to the course,
however, it should be said that all of
the accidents that have occurred have
been due to faults in the machines
rather than in the road.
From all over the world automobile
racing enthusiasts gathered here to
see the race and the light car race
which preceded For weeks little else
has been talked of in the automobile

men and women of many nationalities
