Last Seen, and Wife Fears Foul
PIay-Had Mo Trouble
at Home

All efforts to locate DIR. Frank p.
King, who has been missing from his
home at the Glengary apartments
since February q, have been unsuc-
cessful.
The police have been asked to find
the retired physician, but have been
unable to do so.
King left home February 21. He car
ried a large sum of money, and his
wife believes he has met with some
accident or is the victim of foul play.
She intimates that it is possible he
has met up with some friends who
have persuaded him to leave Los An
geles.
Mrs. King says her husband and her
have been married for seven years and
that they always got along agreeably.
He was in a pleasant frame of mind
when he left her, and she is at a loss
to understand the cause of his disap-
pearance.
King has some relatives in San Pc
dro. At first it was thought he had
gone there on a visit Inquiries were
made, but no trace of the missing man
could be found.
King is described as 81 years old, but
looks younger, feet IL inches high
and weighs 200 pounds. He has dark
brown hair, blue gray eyes, smooth

WEALTHY MERCHANT
LOST, SAY RELATIVES
Came to This City from st. Paul to
Pass the Remainder of His
Life and Drops from
Sight

E. j. Montrose a wealthy and promi-
nent retired merchant of st. Paul,
Mimi. is supposed to be some place
in Los Angeles but his relatives in
the east have received no word from
him for several weeks and fear sone-
thing may have happened to him.
Mr. Montrose came to Los Angeles
two months ago, intending to purchase
a place here and pass the remainder
of his life in this city. He has many
friends here, having visiteds this Sec
tion several times in the past.
Soon after his arrival here he called
on e. j. Phillips on West Eighteenth
street, and the following day attended
a dinner at the Hotel Alexandria.
At that time he announced his in
tention of visiting San Diego, but said
he would return within a week. A few
days later letters were received from
him saying he would return and max
inl an appointment with Mr.. Phillips.
This appointment he has failed to keep,
and since that time nothing has been
heard from him. HIS relatives have
hesitated to make the fact of his dis
appearance public. as they felt con-
vinced he would turn up safely.
AS so much time has passed they
have become worried and an announce
ment will be made to the police to-
day..

fifteenth century Socialist There has
been no attempt to present him in the
play as a historical character, for the
mans career is taken up at that very
period of his life where biography be-
comes stilled through lack of cred
ible information. Villon makes his ap-
pearance upon the stage only after he
has been freed from prison on the oc-
casion of Louis XI's visit to Meung in
1461. About his career after that date
nothing is known. His name, how
ever, was in reality De Montcorbier.
the jocular title bestowed upon him by
the do-nothing king in the play.
Mr.. Desmond fails to realize the
poetic side of the character and this
failure detracts much from the beauty
of the first act, where Villon's dream
ings and aspirations, voiced by him.
self in unspeakably mean and con-
temptible surroundings, give point to
Louis dream, around which the drama
is constructed. However, 1t is only
lust to say that Mr.. Desmond's con-
ception of the character was received
by the audience with every mark OF
enthusiastic approval.
Miss Gilbert as "The Abbess"
The Huguette of Maude Gilbert re-
mains a lively Interpretation, particu-
| larly well acted in the third act, where
the abbess, as she was known, gives
her life to save that of the man she
loves. In the first act the portrait
could be improved by bolder treat
ment.. 1t requires somewhat more
melodramatic handling than Miss Gill
bert gives it. Repression is good
thing, but it can be overdone, and
am inclined to think that Miss Gilbert
has overdone it in this instance.
Harry Mestayer gives a good char
acter impersonation of lie roi faineant
or "king of foxes" as Villon names
him, in which Louis sardonic hunoI
and his physical decay are indicated
clearly.
Miss Blanche Hall has done few
things on the Burbank stage better
than her Katherine de Vaucelles, and
few things sillier than her wearing oi

ing the audience doubtless will forgive
her much, but there seems certainly
little excuse for so utter dlsregarc

that she is victim of what is known
as "auto- o-hypnosis," or self-hypnotism

CISCO STORY
POSTMASTER FLINT WIRES TO
SENATOR FLINT
Report That Admiral Evans Ships
Will Go First to Northern Port
Is Generally Doubted
Here

Dispatches from washington, d. c.,
that quoted Representative Smith OF
California as saying that the fleet of
Admiral Evans might go direct from
Magdalena bay TO San Francisco oay
created some astonishment among
members of the Los Angeles fleet COM
mittee. Such an arrangement would
upset all the plans made by the local
committee for the entertainment or
the fleet and which are based on the
assurance of the navy department that
the fleet would visit here before going
to San Francisco.
Representative Smith made the
statement after a conference with
Secretary Metcalf and warned the
Southern California ports that they
must be yigilant in keeping the fleet 10
its promised engagements.
Postmaster Motley H. Flint, in the
absence of Mayor Harper and General
Chaffee chairman and vice chairman
of the executive committee of the Los
Angeles fleet committee, realized the
importance of Representative Smith S
warning and after a consultation with
others of the executive committee sent
the following telegram to Senator
Frank P. Flint at Washington:
Morning papers publish interview

tary Metcalf states fleet may go TO
San Francisco first, returning later to
San Diego and Los Angeles. Thou

before reaching San Francisco. 1nves-
tigate carefully, use every endeavor TO

mia ports. Wire results"
Doubt Any Changes
Members of the executive committee
doubt if there will be any disarrange-
ment of the program as indicated by
the promise of the secretary of the
navy to the California representatives
who consulted him about the fleet
stops here and at San Diego.
While the department has never an
nounced any program for the fleet be-
yond Magdalena bay, the assurance
has always been given that it would
visit the Pacific ports in their geo
graphical order along the route to San
Francisco. Acting on these assurances,
the local committees of Los Angeles
and San Diego have planned extensive

Bob's sixteen great .warships, and
there is little belief that the order of
visitation will be disturbed.

Secretary Metcalf Sunday no response
is expected from him until noon today,

Not uncommonly does 1t happen that
the trials which prisoners go through
in the police courts are the second

the same week.
The fact that the prisoners have lived
in the atmosphere of jails and court
rooms so long often Is sufficient ground
for their seeking the same game with
which storm delayed passengers on
ocean "liners" resort to for willing
away the weary days.
This is the mock trial
Although the surroundings are not
the same and the jail has no braclng
sea breeze with its dreamy bucket ac-
compartment, the prisoners have even
snapper and more tricky trials than
the happy tourists leaning over the
swinging rail or stalking past the
empty dining saloon.
They appoint their own judge and
jury and attorneys for defense and
prosecution. The latter is the hardest
position to get filled by the prisoners.
since they have an inherent dislike
for that official with whom they have
so often had a meeting In the tourna-

Fake Prisoners Arrested
The cause of the arraignment of
ehSSe ldhe prlsOners, generally, is
for disobeying some rule of the Jail,
such as uncleanliness, exhibited in
splitting on the floor, refusal to keep
their hunks clean, or something along
that line.

This play does not fulfill the require

The captain, alone and single handed,
has entered the bandit camp in disguise,

for making their attack. This strata

Nature has provided the stomach with
certain natural fluids known as the di-
gestive juices, and it is through these
juices that the food we eat is acted upon
in such way as to produce the rich,
red blood that flows through the veins
of our body and thereby makes us strong,
healthy and robust, and it is the weaken
ing of these digestive juices that destroys
health. 1t is our own fault if we destroy
our own health, and yet it is so easy
for any ore to put the stomach out of
order. When you need to take some
