Ernest Camp, % years old, a chauf-
feur. is believed to have been one of
the victims. He was employed by j.
f. Schreffler, and the wrecked auto
mobile dragged from the river today
proved to be his machine.
Camp. it is now believed, took a
party of men and women from van
Buren, street and Wabash avenue last
night with directions to drive them to
some point on the West side. He had
an engagement to meet party OF
women at Il downtown theater later.
He never appeared at the theater ana
has not been seen since.
Many rumors of missing persons
were run down by the police today in
an effort to learn the identity of the
victims but no definite Information
was obtained The police ceased
dragging the river for bodies at sun
set '~
Late tonight relatives reported to
the police the disappearance of Max
Cohen, cigar dealer, who conducted a

In the throng that lined the streets
and which listened to an address by
the president there were more Con-
federates than have greeted him in all

was also marked by his introduction
to the famous pine bark stew of the
Peedee section of South Carolina The
president had been looking forward
to this stew with mingled emotions
of pleasurable anticipation and fear.
When il appeared as the major course
in the Florence banquet tonight 1t
proved to be nothing more or less
than a delectabie fish chowder, spiced
and stewed over a pine bark fire long
enough to get some of the flavor of
the pine into 1t.
Before leaving Augusta the presi-
dent assisted in the opening OF the
Georgia Carolina fair. His address
was interrupted by the passage of an
airship or dirigible balloon immedi-
ately over the grand stand. The pres
ident was talking of ship subsidy at
the time and after he had paused to
look at the receding balloon ex-
claimed:
II hesitate to occupy your time in
discussing an old method of transpor-
tation when you have before your
eyes the newest one invented. and yet
| venture to think it will be some time
before that method will be used in
the moving of bales of cotton"
1t had been intended that the presi-
dent would stop here only an hour
and ten minutes, but the reception
committee secured rearrangement
of the schedules by which they might
hold him three times that length and
yet deliver him to Wilmington early
tomorrow morning.
The president warned the people
not to let the prosperity of fifteen
cent cotton run away with them but
to remember to demand in all busi-
ness affairs the standard of integrity
and morality outlined by Theodore
Roosevelt.

The work of the photographic Of
flee is of great Importance to ma
rine insurance interests, for an ac-
curate chart is actually a policy Of
insurance. The office is of con-
siderable value to business men,
scientists, students and others. The
officer in charge at branch hy-
geographic office is always ready to
furnish information to all inquir-
ers, and the reprint of hydro

general questions, such as those
asking for the length of the nauti-
cal mile, the Pacific port nearest
the great circle route between
Panama and the Orient, the deep
est known place in the ocean, the
international date line, which all
appear in one recent reprint. The

city hall in San Pedro, which is
admirably situated for that pur-
pose. The question of a time ball
may be easily arranged, as almost
any owner of an office building
would be glad to have it on his
structure.
If you are interested in moving
toward securing a branch hydro
graphic office you win naturally
ask how to go after it, 1 believe
the only initiative necessary to as
sure this establishment is for some
representative body to take action
showing that lbs Angeles wants
branch office. The City club can
do this, and perhaps the best way
to make a start is to authorize the
secretary of the club to write to
the secretary of the navy, setting
forth the present Importance OF our
harbor, which already has more
shipping than a number of ports
where there are now photographic
offices, and asking him what ac-
ton is necessary to assure an OF
flee at the harbor.
After that the work should be
easy. 1t calls only for the initia-
tive, which should be shown by
Los Angeles at every legitimate OPP
