MISSING |RvNGTON
GIRL RETURNS AS
C0PSSEARCH Town
Miss Carrie Francis Was Mere-
ly Afraid to Go Home in
the Dark.

Explaining that she had gone with a
friend, who was afraid to go home in
the dark" Miss Carrie Francis, "a years
old, of 20 Washington n Irving
ton, returned to her residence after an
absence of thirty-six hours, during
which time futile search was made for
her by her mother, sister and the police
of that town.
Miss Francis wandered from the front
porch of her home, clad only in a house
dress Sunday night. and when she failed
to return yesterday morning her mother
notified Chief Green, of the Iryington
police. A systematic search of the
ponds in the town and the woods near
the Francis home furnished no clue of
the missing woman, and her relatives
were inclined to despair of her safety.
MY girl has met with some harm or
she would never stay away from me so
long" said her mother when an EVE
MING STAR reporter called at her resi-
dence yesterday, and the police were
working for a time on the theory that
the girls mind was affected by a recent
love affair.
Soon afterwards Miss Francis re-
turned to the house and was given q
warm welcome. She explained she had
accompanied a friend, Mrs. Eleanor
Koch, of % Brookside avenue, to her
home, as the latter feared to go along
the lonely roadway from Washington
avenue to her home. The women
walked back and forth with each other
and then decided to stay In the Koch
home for the night.

Supply of $50 Who Have
Not Paid Tax.

Hugh McQuoid, Of kearny. will shut

those who have failed to pay are visited
by the water department employees.
McQuoid is determined, however. to en-
force payment, and has within the past
few weeks shut off the water In sew

DAILY NEWS.


IOWA CITY, Ia. Dec. A-(Special)-
That sentiment favoring a big track meet
in the spring and the adjustment OF rules
regarding summer base ball playing by
college athletes is gaining ground among
the members Of the Missouri valley con-
ference is certain. While the local author
lilies. because of Iowa's big Eight con-
nections. are not outspoken in their views,
n any other prominent authorities in the
Missouri valley schools are discussing
changes openly.
Coach John L. Griffith of Drake univer-
sity at Des Moines favors four changes:
/. A big Missouri valley track meet, not
subordinate to the Big Eight meet
2 The admittance OF Grinnell to the Mis-
sCuri valley conference.
3. A change in the present base ball
rule, giving the university players more
freedom during the summer.
4 Clear Interpretation OF the present
Missouri valley eligibility rules.
On the summer base ball question, Ames
snd Nebraska are known to stand with
Drake. With the development OF the in
tricate system OF eligibility rules the reg
ulation concerning the summer base ball
playing Is deemed a rank injustice by
these institutions. The attitude Of Kansas
and Washington Is not known.
