FEAR AGED
WOMAN WAS
MURDERED
(By United Press Leased Wiro)

(By United Press Leased Wir0)
PORTLAND, Ore, May 3D.
Following the receipt of a teIe-
gram bearing all the earmarks of
a fake" and signed Hanna
smith," the name of a Swedish
widow who disappeared from
Portland May 8, with several hun
dred dollars on her person, the
police today redoubled their eff
forts to find trace of the woman.
The telegram, which was dated
from Los Angeles, reads:
Send all my things C. o. d. to
Los Angeles, Cal. by freight. Pay
room rent. Tell Erickson l will
write alter. Am all right"
The wire was sent to Mrs. Anna
Harper, niece of the woman,
who resides here.
Mrs. Harper decared that her
aunt could not have sent the tele-
gram, and she expressed the opin-
ion that If the missing woman is
in Los Angeles she was taken
there by force. She intimates
that she fears the aged woman
has been murdered for her money.
When Mrs. Smith disappeared
she had $500 on her person which
she has just withdrawn from the
keeping of e. e. Erickson, the
man mentioned in the telegram.
She was last seen with two
strange women, who were dressed
in black.

given him the mitten, c. Fletcher,

him a favorable reply to his offer

The epistle was stained several
colors by the action of the sea
upon the stamps and postmarks,
and bore an official notice read

FAME AND FORTUNE OFFERED
Rich Prize for Man Who Discovers
the Long-Sought Cure for
tuberculosis.

DR.. George w. Boomer of Yale uni
versity, acting as spokesman for an
anonymous giver, has announced n a
a prize of 500, 900 has been set aside,
to be awarded to the first person any
where in the world who discovers a
cure for tuberculosis. The gift is I'M
conditional as to time, place, or kind
of cure, the only real condition being
that the new cure must have been in
constant use at least five years, and
that the promoter of the cure con-
vince the investigating board of the
merits of his discovery.
A large number of physicians have
been working for years to perfect vac
cine, or anti-toxin for tuberculosis, or
to find some agent, such as tuberculin,
which will assist in the cur of the dis
ease. Thus far, the experiments have
not furnished a product which will
either absolutely cur or prevent con
sumption, or render the patient i'm
mune against the disease. Many of
these serums have proved effective in
increasing the resistance of the pa
tient and thus helping in the cure, but

Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa, Cal,
is. doubtless the most skillful expert

a state of perturbation or 'wabble'
and take advantage of the 'wabbling'

THE first crossing is generally a
step in the direction in which we are
