| That's the note, perciled on the back
of a laundry shi., which Albert l.
Liebold found in his room in the DE
Rosia residence on East Walnut street
late last night.
Loaned Friend.
1t was written by his room mate.
George c. Coleman, and was, in way
receipt for nice new suit of
clothes, which Coleman had taken.
Liebold told the story to the police
this morning. Both he and his room
mate are gas filters by trade and
employed by local plumbing concern.
They were close friends, and when
they started to dress yesterday morn
ing, Coleman bemoaned the fact that
he was without proper raiment for a
bright and sunny Sunday showing.
Liebold was touched by his remarks
and loaned him one of his good suits
of clothes.
Would Not Need the Key.
The two parted during the day, and
during the afternoon, Coleman called
at the rooming place and left word
that if he was not in by ten o'clock,
there was no need of leaving the key
out for him, as he would stay at a
local hotel over night. That was the
last seen of him-the last heard from
him except the note.
Mr.. Liebold is worrying despite the
admonition in the last line of the brief
however, more than for his room mate.
He is not member of the Don't
Worry club.
He dislikes to believe that mis- fell
worker has skipped out and that
the story of the visit to his sweetheart
was myth, but nevertheless he felt
called upon to report the matter to
the police, and an effort is being made
to locate the suit and the man VINO
went away in it yesterday.
New York, Oct. 4.-The indoor
championships of the Amateur Ath-
letic union, which begins at Madison
Square Garden tonight, continuing to-
morrow, are intended to be a fit OPEN
ing for the season l9O9-l9lO Many
champions and near champions, who
did not have an opportunity to display
their skill in the national champion
ships at Seattle, are entered.
The events that promise to be of
supreme interest, however, are the
600 and 1000 yard runs, in which
Peerless Mel Sheppard will met
Lunghi, the feet runner from Italy.
Harry Hillman will be one of the
starters in the 6OO-yard run. Shop
pard mas been kept off the track
practically all summer by blood poi
soning, and his showing in Celtic
Park on Labor day showed what a
remarkable runner he is. Lunghi is
one of the fastest men that ever ran
in this district, and that's saying a
lot. Hillman's ability at 600 yards is
well known and he has score to set
tie with Lunghi, who beat him some
weeks ago.
Women's Golf Tourney.

ems national golf championship tour

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 4.-One thou
sand mayors, including some of the
most prominent municipal heads of
the country are here as guests of the
city of st. Louis to assist in the cee-
bration of the city's Tooth anniversary
which begins in earnest today con-
tinuing all the week. 1t is the first
time in the history of the country,

a scale.

day starting off with a reception held
at City Hall by Mayor Frederick H.
Kreismann, president of the centen-
