Miss Florence Loeber, speaking at a meeting of the Louisiana Bar us- sociation, told the lawyers that at present a husband has sole control of the property and earnings of his wife.

The police were notified late yester-
day afternoon that Reuel J. Cram, aged
II years, son of Mr.. and Mrs Clarence
H. Cram of n Gage street, and Earl
Brown, aged about - years and living
at the corner of Green and South
Chestnut streets, had disappeared, and

We're still missing.
SO far as has been ascertained tn"
boys were last seen at about 1890 yes
terday forenoon. They are pupils at
the Lincoln school, and neither was
present after the recess hour The
failure of the two to appear at home
at the dinner hour was the first caus"
for uneasiness on the part of their par
ents, and as the afternoon wore away
without their putting in an appear
ance this feeling changed to that Of
alarm.
Search was made in different parts
of the city where the boys would be
likely to go and their playmates Were
questioned, but no clue could be OBJ
tanned which would tend to unravel the
mystery, and the matter was finally
placed in the hands of the police.
Late last evening Mr.. Cram was seen
bv a Journal representative and Will"
he was worried by the absence of hiG
son he expressed the belief that no
harm had come to the boys, the belief
being based on information given him
during the evening by lady who call
ed at the house and stated that while
at Riverside at about 3 o'clock yeSter-
dav afternoon she had seen two boys
at the Maine Central Railroad station
whose description tailed closely with
that of %he missing ones. Mr.. Cram
was confident that the boys seen Werh
his son and the Brown boy, and tele-
uhoned the Waterville police to be on
the lookout for him. He also intended.
if he got any clue, to go up river n
search of them.
Young Cram is about the average
size for a boy of his years, is of fa;r
complexion and freckled. has large
hazel eyes and chestnut hair; wears
his hair long. especially in front. lie
wore a dark coat and light shirt waist,
blue tie, light corduroy pants buckled
below the knee. high tan shoes ana
dark skull cap. Wears his cap on the
back of his head The Brown boy is
a little larger than young Cram and
wore similar clothing.
When seen at Riverside station tho
boys appeared to be very tired, ana
when asked where they We're going
one of them replied that they did not
know
In speaking Of his son Mr.. Cram
said that he thought that the young
ster did not like to go to school very
we'll and that while as a rule he was
punctual in his attendance it was very
probable that he took it into his head
to run away and carried out MS lded.
