MISSING YOUTH

Thomas j. Rogers in Denver
Orange Blossoms and Fian
Gee Wait in Vain

The mystery of the disappearance ot
Thomas J. Rogers, who vanished sis
days before his scheduled wedding day
was partly cleared last night in a mes
sage received by his distracted parents
at their home. 1863 Eighteenth street
Rogers wired that ne was safe in Den
yer, but failed to say why he had gone
there when. bis marriage to Miss Alice
Cassidy at Grass Valley was set for to-
morrow.
Young Rogers has a responsible posi-
tion with a local grocery firm. He
formerly lived in Grass Valley, where
he met and wooed Miss Cassidy. daugh-
ter of Felix Cassidy, wealthy mining
man. The bride to be is not yet out OF
her teens and has a reputation for
beauty beyond the precincts of the
town.
Rogers left home last Wednesday
His parents and fancee understood that
he was going directly to Grass Valley.
Yesterday was the date of a farewell
feast. to which the many young friends
of the couple were invited.
The several trains had been met in
vain The perplexed bride sent query
by wire to the Eighteenth street homo.
This made the parents uneasy. After
messages were inetrchanged q search
was started from both ends of the sun
posed journey. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers
turned their fat over to the care OF
kind neighbors and with the help of de-
tectives began to look up their sons
OLD haunts. His reputation for good con-
duct increased the mystery.

ESpeciaI Dispatch 10 The Call


CHICAGO. Oct. 10.-William Kent,
resident OF California has decided that
Chicago is not the worst city in the
world-in ali respects Its vice district,
he declares, is the worst in the country,
but in other respects some progress has
been made since he left. He admits
that much willingly. Kent is visiting
in Chicago.
From what 1 have seen of State
Attorney waynan7 he declared. Il be-
Iieve he is in earnest in his campaign
against corruption, and it is a shame
the reformers of Chicago do not assist
him. A man is not good reformer
who will hold back just because he
wanted somebody else elected to the
Office
AS to the vice of Chicago, it has no
parallel. 1t is worse than that of other
wide open cities in the country that 1
have seen 1t lis infinitely worse than
San Francisco and New Orleans There
were people in the west side levee dis
trict lower in the scale of humanity
than in any other city, and 1 suspect
there are yet"
He laughed when it was suggested
his change of residence did not become
generally known in Chicago until his
personal property was granted exemp-
tion from taxation here by the board
of review on the ground of nonresi-
dence
Il am obliged to live in California be-
cause my mother is in poor health" he
said. Il want to be in the fight while

tai Objection and Marries
L. A. Sprague

After travelling all the way across the
continent to be beyond the reach Of her
fathers objections to her marriage ia
the man of her choice, Miss Harriet j.
Croy daughter of Charles III. Croy of
Haverhill, Mass, was secretly welded
TO Leon A. Sprague of this city.
The runaway departure of Miss Grow
wrom her home in Haverhil1 was the
climax of a courtship which began six
years ago when the young people were
.sWeethearts in high school,
Sprague came TO California because
Of Ill health and last August when he
was back in Haverhill the couple must
have decided on their plan.
The brides parents knew nothing Of
her whereabouts until they received a
telegram from her yesterday stating
that-she had gone west and had married
the man of her schoolday fancy. She
asked for forgiveness.
Sprague is employed in the silyerware
department of Shreve's. The couple are
living for the- present at 1924 Califor
mia street, but We're In Santa Rosa yes-
terday.
Miss Croy arrived in San francisco
from Massachusetts Saturday, october
2. She stayed with friends until the
day of the marriage. The license was
issued last Tuesday.

Favors Change in Laws

He pointed out that in the matter of
power sites there are today tempo
rarily Withdrawn so per cent larger
area of actual power sites than existed
prior TO March last. He pointed out
that congress should give the DEPART
ment authority to dispose of these sites
under limitations which would require
their development and utilization into
sources of power supply or revert to
the government, and the retention of
control over them by the government
to prevent monopolization. The exist
ing laws, the secretary pointed out, are.
inadequate to enable the government
to exercise control over the sites, ex-
cept by withdrawal.
Ballinger spoke enthusiastically of
the work done by the reclamation
service and expressed the hope that
congress would give authority for the
issuance of bonds for furthering the
work.
He discussed the phosphate lands of
the Rocky mountain states. made a de-

ton and spoke Of the activities of the

as satisfied. I'VE Informally discussed
the city's right to the Sierra water
supply sites said the mayor "There
was nothing said or intinated by Sec
retary Ballinger to cause the slightest
apprehension. He should not be at

the fact that the recent death of e.

BaIIinger Is NoncommitaI

II was difficult in an interview to Sc
cure Secretary Ballingers views on the
critically important question of San

Washington official would speak freely
on what the city could not do. but was
courteously disinclined 10 say how far
he would go in aiding the city.
lie laughed at the suggestion that
John Muir's sentimental views on the
Heteh Hetchy question would influence
him. Secretary Ballinger did not laugh
as President Taft must have laughed at
John Muir's rhapsodies. but since the
two men are built on very different
orders of architecture a similar laugh
would be an impossibility. BaIIinger is
compact, with a businesslike face, and
he is courtesy in his manner rather
than hearty
At the mention OF the Hetch Hetchy
proposition Secretary Ballinger referred
to his written statement. which said
My visit to the Yosemite national
park. including the Lake Eleanor and

significance as regards San Franeiseo's s
