OFFICERS SEARCHING
FOR HARRY SCOFIEED
YOUTHS ABSENCE IS MOST
MYSTERIOUS
Had No Baggage and Little Money
When He Left Hotel Maryland
Cottage Last Friday

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Aug. 30-Nothlng has
been heard of Harry Scoheld, the young
man who disappeared from one of the
Hotel Maryland cottages Friday MORN
ing. The police of all the cities in
Southern California have been notified
to keep lookout for him, and friends
and relatives here are anxiously wait
ing for news.
Friday morning Scofield told his aunt,
who was with him: "Im going to get
out of here for awhile" No attention
was paid to his remark, and its sig
nificance did not come to her until the
afternoon, when she found he had dis
appeared, apparently without making
the least provision for doing SO.
It is thought that he took no baggage
of any kind with him and it is not even
certain that he was wearing coat
when he left.
He is known to have had very little
money in his possession at the time, SO
1t is certain that he could not have
planned a trip anywhere. His closest
friends can offer no conjecture as to
his whereabouts.
Scofield, who is 10 years but looks
younger, and is stoutly built, with gray
eyes and hair almost black, is thought
to have been wearing gray cap,
brown trousers and probably a gray
coat.
He is the son of C. B. Scofield, a
wealthy Chicago manufacturer. His
aunt, Mrs. Scohe1d, has recently pur-
chased q residence on South Orange
Grove avenue and is now staying at
the Hotel Virginia in Long Beach,
while waiting for it to be put in order.
Harry was staying with friends at the
Maryland and apparently in the best OF
spirits.

ITALIAN MUSICIANS TOO
PARTIAL TO THE LADIES

OCEAN PARK, Aug. 30.-Charges of
peculiar nature against the Gregory
Royal italian band, which discourses
music daily at the Plaza, between Pier
avenue and Marine street, have been
thoroughly sifted by the band COM
mittee. By some it is believed that
much that is said against the band is
due to race prejudice, but complaints
have been made by several women and
the husbands of other women that GER
tain of the musicians have been Of
fensively aggressive in showing them
attention which the women did not
court or desire.
George w. Brown. chairman of the
band committee, says: I'VE have in
vestigated these complaints. There
are women who will run after a uni
form of any kind, and some of the
Italian musicians may not have care
fully Disseminated always between
this class and the more sensible wo-
men. We have had bands before, and
it seems to go with the musical tenn
permanent that breaches of etiquette
shall occur. All can say is that this
Italian band is no worse than any we
have had before. Whether it will re-
main through the winter is another
matter and one mainly of finances"
