from the United States, who were hold
'ng important positions in the Philip
pines that were quite as much in need
If religious instruction as the natives.

MONEY Is NEEDED BADLY

method of raising funds in order tc
carry on the seasons work of charity
for the poor and needy. The house tc
house canvass for funds will com.
mence in few days. 1t is hoped
that the association can raise severa
thousand dollars, although the officials
believe that $1,000 will be sufficient tc
carry on the work.
Just at the present time, there il
but little for the association to do
but when the weather gets colder anl
it is necessary to purchase fuel an6
clothing, there is great need for such
an organization. The majority of the
citizens will remember the number o
reports of suffering among the poor
in the past two winters. 1t is hoped
therefore that every one will wher
called upon give at least a small
amount.
The committees announced to have
charge of the work are as follows:
On finance, in addition to the regu
larly constituted Associated Charitie:

Wanderlusf Causes a Wealthy
Young Woman to Became Tramp

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 16.-Possessed
OF a wanderlust that neither her fam
lily nor alienists who have been called
in consultation are able to explain,
Miss Mary Patterson, a wealthy young
woman Of Pittsburg, was today forci-
bly, brought back to the home OF her
mother after period OF wandering
lasting from Thanksgiving day until
she was taken in custody at Wauke.
sha, Wis. Saturday.
During her long nine months alb
sence the girl. plentifully supplied
with money from the estate OF her
father, according to reports from Wau.
kesha and other cities and towns in
the Middle West. scorned the com
forts and the luxury of Pullman and
dining cars and chose the favored
abode of every true hobo-the box
car, well filled with damp excelsior
and a handout wherever it could be
procured.
There were no home troubles to ex
plain her wanderings. Mrs. Mary
Patterson, her mother. is a woman OF
wealth and unquestioned social posi-
ton, Is well as being an indulgent
parent. The only explanation the al
ienists have 1t that the lure OF the
road called the girl and she answered.
The estate of her father was set.
tied several days before Thanksgiv.
ing day. The girl was at her home
the morning on which the President
OF the United States commands that
the people of the nation give thanks
but when the family board groaned
with turkey and cranberry sauce and
the daughter was called to the table
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-08-16

there was no response. She had de
parted for parts unknown
For months no trace of the girl
could be discovered. although detect
i've agencies were employed in the
case. A few days ago. however, her
mother received a long distance tele
phone call. The voice of her daugh
ter could be plainly distinguished She
sent her love to the family, but re
fused to give them any information as
to her whereabouts.
Inquiries at the telephone exchange
proved that the message came from
Chicago.
Last week the girl appeared at Wau
kesha and registered at the Spring
City hotel as NJ. E. Graham, OF Gin
ton, Iowa. The attention of the hote
attaches was attracted to the young
woman by her peculiar actions, among
them being a propensity for sleeping
on the floor of her room and bringing
up food from the dining hall to eat
cold.
The police authorities were notified
Then Miss Patterson disappeared
Search by the police was instituted
and she was found prowling about the
Milwaukee railroad yards seeking q
convenient box car. She was taken
in custody and imprisoned in the
home of the sheriff
Miss Patterson was indignant and
demanded her release. Later she at
tempted to escape. Asked as to hel
identity and residence. she refused tc
make any statement. but during the
questioning mentioned the name OF
DR.. Seip of Pittsburg.
Through him her mother was mott
fled. Force was necessary to compel
her return to Pittsburg.
