"As long as the blood flows through
my veins, as long as my heart contin-
ues to beat, just so long shall keep up
this search for my wife," said E. A.
Taylor last night.
81 do not believe she mas drowned
herself or made use of any other meth
cd of self destruction. 1 will not adj
nit the possibility that she is dead
either by her own hand or that of an
other. AS long as l hold to this be-
lief and am convinced that she is
among the living l shall continue the
search. Even if I had the desire or
the inclination to return to my BUSH
ness 1 could do nothing with the
thought haunting me that perhaps she
is wandering aimlessly about in some
canyon, uncared for and hopelessly
lost"
That is the way the husband Of the
lost woman talked after five days of
fruitless search. He has passed every
daylight hour since she was known to
be lost in tireless search for her.
Offers Reward
To stimulate others to further effort
Mr.. Taylor offers through The Herald
reward of $50 to anyone who will find
her and see that she reaches her home.
Today at 10 o'clock marks the sixth
day since the disappearance of Mrs.
Taylor, bride of two months, from
her home at 1912 South Union avenue.
During the past six days the entire
police force of the city; several hum
dred school children of Garvanza,
Highland Park, Eagle Rock and An
Mandate; the members of the First
Methodist church, where Mrs. Taylor
was organist when she was Miss Sho-
tKal for md hn r
Angeles have been tireless in their eff
forts to find some trace of the woman.
The searching party yesterday, led by
the distracted husband, started at the
Church of the Angels and went over
more carefully the ground covered the
day before. All of the little hooks and
dells were gone over carefully. Then
the hills and arroyos at Avenue A
were searched. The party continued
on through them to Avenue 46.
Then went to Pasadena said Mr..
Taylor 81 received a most accurate
description of a woman seen by A. T.
Gilbert of Pasadena, whom I thought
surely must be she. But, like all the
other reports, when run down it came
to nothing" he continued YEARLY. my
hopes are raised by each fresh report
and I think that at last / am to see
my dear Ada again and hold her in
my arms only to be shattered when we
trace 1t down and find that it ends In
nothing
Traced to Ocean Park
From Pasadena he went to Santa
Monica and Ocean Park. A woman
who gave her anne as Mrs. Clara
Schultz is said to have reported to the
Santa Monica police that she saw Mrs.
Taylor on the Horseshoe pier Monday
night about dusk. She said she knew
Mrs. Taylor well and could not be mis-
taken.
when ran down that report said
Taylor, II found that a woman told
another woman that she had seen Mrs.
Taylor, on the beach, and then she told
the other woman not to reveal her
name. 1 have never heard of Mrs.
Clara Schultz"
From Santa Monica Taylor again
went to Eastlake park and continued
the search with indefatigable zeal. The
lake in the park was again dragged by
those who adhere to the theory of sui
eide, while the husband of the woman
looked on without hope. Parties OF
men and boys rowed back and forth
across the lake in the slow and meas
ured time that told of their errand, but
without result.
