N. W DAWSON.
CANNOT BE
FOUND
HE WAS IN THE EMPLOY OF PA
CIFIC EXPRESS.
His Mysterious Disappearance Has
Brought Route Agent Hall TO
Ogden to Check UP.

Neil W. Dawson, for the past three
months trusted clerk under Agent
Nyc Dobbs in the Ogden office OF the
Pacific Express company, has disap-
peared and his present whereabouts
sons friends-and to the responsible
officials of the express company.
Dawson arrived In Ogden from
Ohio about the first OF October 10 ac-
cept a position with the express COM
pany. He performed his duties with
apparent honesty and efficiency until
the office closed Monday night since
which time he cannot be located.
His habits were supposed TO be OF an
exemplary character and his disap-
pearance is attracting wide attention
at this time.
Various rumors are current in re-
gard TO alleged shortages and his ac-
counts are now being Systematically
checked over by Agent Dpbbs and
Route Agent Hail. who is hero for that
purpose
While local representatives OF the
Pacific Express company are extreme
ly reticent in regard to Dayison's dis
appearance and alleged shortage,
Route Agent Hall admitted that the
clerk had been absent since Monday
night and that he was now checking
over his accounts very thoroughly.
He declined to state whether any seri-
ous defalcation had occurred, and
added that an investigation was nee
essary to determine just how matters
stood.
Up to the present time, however, no
complaint has been sworn out against
the missing clerk, nor have the police
been officially notified of Davison's
absence.
Like all employees Of the express
company, the young man was under a
bond, and 1t is generally thought
among those familiar with Dayison's
duties that the bond is heavy enough
to secure the express company against
any serious loss.
No one noticed the young man
leave the city on any OF the outgoing
trains. although IL is rumored around
railroad headquarters that he has
recently been mixed up with wom-
an and his absence is attributed by
his friends to this fact.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Some Idea of

from dispatch received at the state

egram from Vice Consul Stuart X
Lupton, who said that it will take a

ruins of the consular building.
Their bodies, he says, are buried
under tons of debris. Bayard Cutting.

scene of the disaster, telegraphed to
Mr.. Griscom that the only private Am
ericans In Messina on December rs.
the day OF the earthquake were Mr.
and Mrs. Forbes, whose fate is un-
known. 1t is said at the state depart
ment that the names of these per

for whom inquiry has been made.

Will command the relief ship fitted
out under direction of Ambassador

OF distribution of the 100000 cash
appropriation for the relief of the
Italian earthquake sufferers was un-
der consideration today by President
Roosevelt who had conference with
= assistant Secretary OF State Bacon.
Before the distributing OF the money,
which is available al any moment up-
on orders from the President the
White House will await cable IN
formation from Ambassador Griscom
at Rome who has been asked 10 re-
port on a plan that will be most sat
