BELIEVES HUSBAND WAS
WAYLAID AND ROBBED
Mrs. Lena Chapman Asks Police
to Assist Her in Finding
Missing Mate

Believing that her husband, w. l..
Chapman, has been waylaid and robned
of $500 worth of gold dust, which ne
took from his claims in the Death
Valley district, Mrs. Lena Chapman or
213 West Forty-eighth street appeared
at the detective bureau last night ana
asked the officers to assist her in md
ing the missing man.
Chapman left Los Angeles January
Q. 1910, and went to Johannesburg,
where he has several mining claims.
He wrote regularly to his wife, and
on July 25 sent her a letter stating
his intention of coming home to pass
a few weeks. Since that time she mas
not heard from him.
Mrs. Chapman at first accounted Tor
his silence and thought that his failure
to write regularly was due to his being
out on the desert away from civillza-
ton. Later she began to entertain
fears for his safety.
Thursday afternoon O. B. Conway a
friend of Chapman, visited the nome
of the missing man and inquired for
him. Mrs Chapman told him that her
husband had not been in the city. Con-
way then told her that Chapman left
Johannesburg a short time ago and
had with him $500 worth of gold dust.
Mrs. Chapman then began a vigorous
search for her husband, but was un-
able to find a trace of him, and hnally
appeaIed to the detectives.
The missing man Is described as be-
ing five feet seven inches in height,
weighs 145 pounds. He is clean shaver,
has brown eyes and dark hair. He has
scar three inches long across his
right cheek

SPALDING is CONFIDENT
OF WINNING SENAT0RSHIP
Dispatches Show San Diego Man
Has Carried So Districts

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 19.-Although Mr..
Spalding, so far, has been reticent re-
garding the claims of his friends that
he is assured of the nomination for
senator, a statement issued this after
noon by his friends is said to have his
Endorsement. 1t follows:
THE election of A. G. Spalding as
United States senator seems an as
sured fact. There are forty senators
and eighty assemblymen, which means
100 on joint ballot. OF these senators
twenty are holdover senators, leaving
100 senators and assemblymen to be
elected. Out of these twenty hold
overs eleven promised Senator Leroy
A. Wright when he filed Spalding' $
nomination papers they would vote for
Spalding.
This mornings Associated Press dis
patches showed that Spalding had car
ried fifty-three districts, which, with
the eleven votes of the holdover sena-
tors, means sixty-four votes out of 12O
on joint ballot or clear majority or
four, which means the election or
Spalding without any doubt"

PRESIDENT VISITS
ANCESTORS HOMES
Taft Discovers That He Is Dis
family Related to Sena-
tor AIdriCh
ASSOCIATED Press)

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 19.-Forget-
ting for the moment the troubles and
worries of politics and politicians,
President Taft spent the greater part
of the day in the homes and haunts OF
his ancestors.
The Tafts settled in 1850 at Mendon
and Uxbridge. Robert A. Taft, a
housewright, was the first of the Tafts'
to come over from England. Then
in direct line of descent the genera
lions lead down to the president as
follows;
Joseph Taft, Peter Taft, Aaron
Taft, Peter Rawson Taft, Alphonso
Taft and William Howard Taft.
1t was discovered that through an
ancient strain, the president is relat-
ed to Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island;
that Secretary Norton is also related
to the senator and that the president
is related to Governor Draper of Mass
achussetts.
It was as the guest of Governor
Draper that the president made his
pilgrimage today. Though no one in
Mendon seemed to know Mr.. Taft was
coming his presence soon was known
abroad, and Tafts came from all direc-
tions. Mrs. Clarence Taft, one of the
first to arrive, told the president proud
ly that she was the mother of the
youngest Taft in the vicinity, a son 2
weeks old. She suggested that the
president should select name.
NAMES A BABY
''I name him Robert" said the presi-
dent, land 1 hope he grows up to be
great comfort to his mother and
father"
The baby is a fifth cousin of the
president.
The name of the original Robert
Taft is engraved on the monument as
one of the founders of Mendon, COM
monty known as the "old mother
town." Robert brought six stalwart
sons with him from England.
A spot of interest was the little home
of Miss Sarah Taft. This delightful
white haired lady was completely talk
en- by surprise when the presidents
big automobile stopped in front of her
door and he and the governor altghted.
Miss Taft was not expecting visitors,
and living quite alone. she kept her dis
tinguished guests waiting with many
apologies until she could change her
frock. The she extended a most hos
pitable welcome. Miss Taft's home is
on the old Boston-New York highway,
and in 1873 George Washington spent
the night in the house. The room, with
a fine, old, four posted bed and Won
derful old mahogany furniture, was
shown to the president.
The president returned to Beverly
by automobile. reaching his cottage be-
fore o'clock this evening.
